- medium pupils, they outperform their English-educated counterparts in English tests. Their bilingualism bucks the monoglot trend of the majority. There are those who would claim that such languages aren't 'useful' in the modern world and the global job market, and are therefore irrelevant to the current debate. 'Why are you wasting your time with Welsh /Gaelic/ Irish [insert your minority language of choice] anyway?' scoff the naysayers. 'We should all be learning Chinese!' Needless to say, the so-called reasoning behind such statements isn't about getting to know China's culture, heritage and people; rather, it's about how it could help you make money. But while Mandarin Chinese may well be useful for an international businessperson of the future, we don't only use language to earn money and do deals: we use language to communicate. To say there is no worth in learning a language that isn't economically useful is like saying there's no point in being friends with somebody unless they are going to help you get a better job. It's a spectacular, cynical miss of the point. It's also inaccurate. My minority language skills have allowed me to earn a living, by teaching Gaelic to adults at various colleges and universities in Glasgow and in the West Highlands of Scotland. The same is true for many of my friends, whether they're school teachers, journalists or musicians. There are also specific job opportunities for those fluent in other indigenous minority languages, with Irish also having added bonus of being an official language of the EU. ¹ monoglot (n) someone who speaks only one language (# polyglot) (1.1) 2 to maroon sth. leave sb. in a place /on an island from which they cannot escape (1.4) 3 Manx-medium school a school that teaches in the indigenous language or bilingually (1.15) 4 to buck sth oppose sth.

When it comes to representation in the media, the successful establishment of separate minority language provision has absolved mainstream channels of the responsibility to feature them. But must our indigenous languages be ignored outside their own niche media outlets? Would it really be so bad if the occasional news item allowed a minority language-speaking interviewee to respond in their own language, with English subtitles? Or if newspapers like this one published an online article each week in one of our indigenous minority languages? Or might such measures actually better reflect, and raise awareness of, our multicultural makeup? Might people consider learning these languages? Might more speakers be inclined to use them more often, in more situations? Different aspects of our cultures and beliefs, our habits and history, not to mention enumeration our humour, are all encoded in our languages. By knowing them, we know ourselves better.

The news report "Don't neglect the UK's indigenous languages" written by Rhona NicDhughaill and published on theguardian.com on October 29, 2013, presents the importance and influence indigenous languages of the UK carry. R.N. talks about the misconception that the British Isles inhabits mainly monoglots, who only speak English. She explains that certain minorities also communicate with native languages. Furthermore, the rising number of school-age speakers is mentioned, which results in the upbringing of bilingualism. NicDhughaill shows that many people believe that language skills are only needed for economical purposes. hence naysayers are of the opinion that learning. indigenous languages of the UK is unnecessary. *~ Moreover, she refutes these claims by talking about the benefits. indigenous languages carry, such as communicate with relatives and friends. The author states that these languages can help to have a better understanding of the culture, heritage and history of the UK, and therefore its citizens. However The author mentions that this is false, since she and others have been able to provide for themselves by teaching minority languages. V V Lastly, R.N. presents her idea of incorparating native languages in mainstream media to raise further awareness and spread knowledge. W = Erziehung.

The given excerpt of the news report "Don't neglect the UK's indigenous languages" by R.N., published on the guardian. on October 29, 2013, talks about the relevance of minority languages for the UK. R.N. starts of with a question to the reader (cf. 11. 1-2). This not only helps to grab the readers altention, but also to give a brief idea what the general of be 1 topic and attitude towards this topic will To further maintain the intrest of the reader, she directly addresses one with the pronoun "you" (1.1). ✓ ConsequentlyThe news report feels like a personal conversation ✓ between the addressee and the author. Thus, like. Moreover, the use of the personal pronoun "we" (11. 2, 3, 5, [...]) creates a certain unity between not only the reader and author but also the mentioned minorities. Especially, the last phrase "By knowing them, we know ourselves better "l1. 48f.) presents the importance of minority languages not only for minorities but also the monoglot majority of the UK. + Furthermore, the author makes use of expressive verbs and adjectives. By using verbs like "blethering away"(1.5), "bucks"(1.18), "absolved "(1.38) and inclined" (1.46), the report seems very well-articulated, which raises the credibility "1 Strong adjectives such as "inaccurate" (1.31) and "spectacular cynical miss of point" (1.30) not only help the reader to associate the given information with certain words but also exaggerate the wrongness of the opponents. 61 (kürzen.) w them (= him/her) A 100 Zusammenhay + Gedankensange vennepfer Streng 2 To make the given information even more credible, R.N. incorporates examples of progress including numbers, such as "almopst a quarter "(1.12) and "30 Irish-medium schools (1.13). This ultimatty serves to substantiate the fact that more people are starting to speak indigenous languages. ✓ In addition, the author uses numerous stylistic devices.. The comparison "To say there is no worth in learning a language that isn't economically useful is like saying there's no point in being friends with somebody [...]" (11. 27-29), emphasises the illogical way of thinking of the naysayers. She also refutes the argument by mentioning that language carries # far more than economical usefulness. They help us to better grasp "our cultures and beliefs. our nabits and history, not to vention our humour, C... 7" (11. 47-41) This enumeration strengthens the importance of indigenas languages by exposing their different aspects. Another strategy of R.N. is the order in which she lists her argurents against the opponent side. By starting beginning with an argument of the naysayers and then refuting it with her own arguments, the reader is far more likely to remember the last argument, w which is being listed. Lastly, the author gives possible solution, which can help. to raise further awareness. To make these ideas. last longer in one's head, she uses rhetorical questions.
