I choose number one; Recognize the role of language attitudes, standards in empowering, oppressing, and hierarchizing languages and their users, and be open to communicating across different languages and cultures. I learned this the most because from the course reading Amy Tan who wrote Mother Tongue. She grew up a certain way of speaking English because her parents didn’t speak proper English and had an accent. I’m able to relate to this because I grew up speaking not proper English and was ashamed of it. I learned that I shouldn’t be ashamed of the way I speak and that I could do something with this. Like how Tan started writing stories using all the English grew up with and that I want to do storming similarly.
