american English Speaker before american white the development of children s reasoning about nationality
Child Development, 2018Co-Authors: Jasmine M Dejesus, Hyesung G Hwang, Jocelyn Dautel, Katherine D KinzlerAbstract:Adults implicitly judge people from certain social backgrounds as more “American” than others. This study tests the development of children's reasoning about nationality and social categories. Children across cultures (White and Korean American children in the United States, Korean children in South Korea) judged the nationality of individuals varying in race and language. Across cultures, 5- to 6-year-old children (N = 100) categorized English Speakers as “American” and Korean Speakers as “Korean” regardless of race, suggesting that young children prioritize language over race when thinking about nationality. Nine- and 10-year-olds (N = 181) attended to language and race and their nationality judgments varied across cultures. These results suggest that associations between nationality and social category membership emerge early in life and are shaped by cultural context.

negotiating halil concomitant marginalization and agency as a non native English Speaker student scholar and teacher trainer
Critical Inquiry in Language Studies, 2013Co-Authors: Nathanael RudolphAbstract:This co-constructed narrative explores one “non-native” English-speaking graduate student, scholar, and teacher trainer's experience challenging the native Speaker construct as a regime of truth in the field of English language teaching. Though marginalized academically and professionally by its discourses, Halil's storyline is nevertheless one of an individual actively and methodically creating space for agency and advocacy in the classroom, in his university and in his professional activities as a member of the English language teaching and research community.

writing scientific articles like a native English Speaker concise writing for portuguese Speakers
Clinics, 2016Co-Authors: Mariel A MarlowAbstract:As post-doctoral fellow in 2013, I published an editorial based on my experience as a translator, called “Writing scientific articles like a native English Speaker: top ten tips for Portuguese Speakers” (available at http://dx.doi.org/10.6061/clinics/2014(03)(01) 1. It focused on the repeated “simple” mistakes I observed while revising manuscripts of Brazilian friends and colleagues. I did not predict the editorial would receive as much attention as it did on social media. It speaks to Brazilian researchers’ quest for representation on the international scientific platform and the ever-growing number of Brazilian publications in international journals.

writing scientific articles like a native English Speaker top ten tips for portuguese Speakers
Clinics, 2014Co-Authors: Mariel A MarlowAbstract:Can you identify a single colleague who has not had a manuscript returned with the comment “needs to be reviewed by a native English Speaker”? Many researchers receive this response even after translation or revision by an official translator or a native English-speaking coauthor. Over the past four years, while conducting my doctoral, and now my postdoctoral, work here in Brazil, I have been asked to both translate and help revise numerous manuscripts for my fellow Brazilian researchers. However, despite being a native English Speaker and a researcher, I have found these tasks to be quite stressful at times. The truth is, just like it is one thing to write in Portuguese and another to write well in Portuguese, the same applies to writing well in English. Furthermore, not every native English Speaker who writes well in English can write well for the scientific literature. Scientific English writing has its own style and rhythm, such as the use of passive voice. Passive voice is considered poor English in most forms of writing (news, novels, blogs, etc.) outside of science. The most recent version of Microsoft Office Word will even highlight passive voice as poor grammar and ask you if you want to rephrase. However, the use of passive voice is acceptable and even encouraged in some scientific writing.

ultimate attainment of second language articles a case study of an endstate second language turkish English Speaker
Second Language Research, 2010Co-Authors: Neal Snape, Tanja KupischAbstract:An area of considerable interest in second language (L2) acquisition is the difficulties learners face with the acquisition of articles. This article examines the role of prosody in the acquisition of articles by an endstate L2 English Speaker focusing on the free morphemes the and a. In order to analyse the articles produced by a Turkish Speaker named SD, we used the Praat (Boersma and Weenink, 2006) phonetic analysis software to determine the prosodic shape of each article in article + noun configurations and article + adjective + noun configurations. The aim of the analysis is to see whether a more detailed analysis of the data would be fully consistent with the strong or weak interpretation of the Prosodic Transfer Hypothesis. The findings of our analysis show that SD produces a large percentage of stressed articles, which are non target-like. We discuss the implications of our analysis for the interlanguage representation of articles by SD as well as the Prosodic Transfer Hypothesis.

racializing the nonnative English Speaker
Journal of Language Identity and Education, 2006Co-Authors: Gail ShuckAbstract:This article identifies some discursive processes by which White, middle-class, native-English-speaking, U.S.-born college students draw on a monolingualist ideology and position themselves and others within a language–race–nationality matrix. These processes construct the Speakers' Whiteness and nativeness in English as unmarked and normal; mark nonnative Speakers of English as non-White and foreign; and naturalize connections between language, national origin, and race. I argue that dominant ways of talking about race in the United States persist as templates for creating arguments about language. Ideological models are projected onto each other, recursively reproducing a hierarchical social order in which U.S.-born citizens, native English Speakers, and Caucasians retain a privilege widely perceived to be a natural outcome of certain characteristics thought to be intrinsic to American-ness, nativeness (in English), or Whiteness.
