soc.culture.taiwan Thread Below are a series of postings from soc.culture.taiwan , an electronic bulletin board on internet's Usenet. Users around the world participate in an ongoing conversation on all topics pertaining to Taiwan. By the time of this writing there have already been over 36,000 messages left on this bboard. As these postings suggest, the 228 massacre is a frequent subject for debate. This selection begins in the middle of a thread on 2.28. After one person wrote that he had never heard of the incident, someone responded by posting a series of eye-witness reports by Western observers. After reading this series of testimonials about the massacre, we decided to direct the discussion about 228 toward its representation in City of Sadness. The response reveals some of the controversy the film has provoked. The following note was from the original 1994 version, left here for nostalgia's sake: [For those unfamiliar with Usenet reading protocol, we offer the following notes. Every message starts with a heading much like an office memo, only it includes electronic addresses and the route the message took to the net. Writers often quote previous postings, generally preceding each line with a "greater than" mark to signal the extended quote. Because the internet is incapable of underlining or italics, you'll see asterisks and other methods of emphasis. This includes small graphic faces, such as :-) a sideways happy face. Note how the first author designates his displeasure at a previous writer's ignorance with a grimacing face. We have taken out e-mail addresses for posters' privacy.]

Interpreting for foreign language courses: A case study with German David Bar-Tzur Created 5/24/1999, links updated monthly with the help of LinkAlarm Introduction Occasionally an interpreter is confronted with a text that includes words from a foreign language, be it a scholarly quote in Latin or Greek or a clever saying in Spanish or French. At this point we usually trust the speaker to translate it into English momentarily, and while we're waiting we merely sign NOW SPEAK FOREIGN LANGUAGE , or if we recognize the language we would say which one it was. What happens when the point of the discourse is to learn the foreign language itself? I hope to make some suggestions that would be helpful to an ASL interpreter for such a setting, using my experience interpreting for German courses. It is now seen as politically correct to say "second language", rather than "foreign language". I think this is confusing since this will be the deaf person's third language if they use Sign and know English. I shall use the term "foreign language" throughout this paper. Preparation The task is difficult enough without having a previous knowledge of the language being taught. Interpreters for foreign language classes really should have had at least two years of instruction in the foreign language they will interpret, even for an introductory course in that language. It may have been years since they used the foreign language they learned in high school, but with some preparation before each class it will come back to them. If they start by interpreting the first introductory course, they will relearn it with ease. As a last resort, interpreters with no knowledge of the language can start by interpreting German 1 and working their way up. Increasing numbers of interpreters have a third language, besides ASL and English, and I believe that a third language, whether it's a spoken language or a signed language, is very helpful for further breaking away from the unavoidable ethnocentrism that monolinguals may have.

Interpreting for Hebrew: Language classes, Sunday school, religious services, Torah study, and sermons. David Bar-Tzur Created 24 August 2001, links updated monthly with the help of LinkAlarm Introduction Occasionally an interpreter is confronted with a text that includes words from a foreign language, be it a scholarly quote in Latin or Greek or a clever saying in Spanish or French. At this point we usually trust the speaker to translate it into English momentarily, and while we're waiting we merely sign NOW SPEAK FOREIGN LANGUAGE , or if we recognize the language we would say which one it was. What happens when the consumer wants you to represent the foreign language itself? I hope to make some suggestions that would be helpful to an ASL interpreter for such a setting, using my experience interpreting for such settings. Preparation Doing the homework is also very helpful, especially if the language is new to the interpreter or has been unused for several years. If the interpreter does not wish to purchase the textbook and cannot get a copy from the teacher or library, it is possible to order a desk copy by writing to the publisher. If that doesn't work, xerox the pages you need, use an old Hebrew text, or borrow the teacher's text at a regular time when you are free and the teacher is busy with other things. Consider tutoring or working together with the student if you are reasonably competent in the language. If you are just learning Hebrew with the class you can still use the time to figure out together how Hebrew works and what the student thinks would work best for her/himself in terms of representing the language using ASL, DGS (Hebrew Sign Language), fingerspelling, or Cued Speech.

Homepage STUDENT ACADEMIC HANDBOOK Dear Parent/Guardian, With the help of teachers and guidance counselors, students in grades 8-11 will begin choosing their subjects for the next school year. Students should make their selections carefully, guided by their aptitudes, interests, and future plans. Parents should become actively involved in the scheduling process. During the scheduling process, guidance counselors will meet with the students to discuss course offerings and the relationship of these courses to the students’ future plans. In conjunction with the guidance department, the teachers will provide necessary recommendations in their subject areas. Once scheduling forms are reviewed and signed by the parents, the guidance counselors will then meet with the students on an individual basis to complete the scheduling process. It is important that parents be involved in this process. Through the efforts of the school and the home, we can be sure that we are meeting each student's educational needs. Please check the course levels, read the course descriptions, and discuss the course selections with your child.

Volume 4, Number 2 (June 2000) ISSN 1327-9548 Extending Social Skills for Success in International Education: The EXCELL Program Dr Anita Mak mak@scides.canberra.edu.au Introduction Background In recent years, the significant increase in numbers of international students on campuses in English-speaking countries has parallelled an overall trend towards globalisation, and makes cross-cultural encounters an inevitable part of the educational and employment experiences of professionals, administrators, and business people. In Australia alone, there were over 63,000 higher education students undertaking onshore international education in 1999 (Fell, 1999). Challenges for Culturally Different Students In a recent study of non-English-speaking background nursing students on two Australian university campuses, Gorman (1999) identified various cultural disadvantages in the students’ experiences, including adaptations required in asking questions, dealing with status, speaking up and giving presentations in class, grappling with gender, family roles, and financial security issues, mixing with other students, and understanding the values underpinning nursing and allied health disciplines. The faculty members and nursing staff in Gorman’s study believed that the non-English- speaking background student was stereotyped as "non-assertive, retiring, overly respectful of authority figures and reluctant to engage with others by disclosing personal information and sharing experiences…all these were seen as faulty interpersonal skills which can result in the student being seen as incapable of functioning competently as a nurse".
