Concluding Notes
In this project, we would like to thank all of those who have participated in the video interviews to help us better understand the social implications of multilingualism. We would also like to thank you all for taking a look through our website.
Interestingly, the works of scholars we investigated in class all emphasized the benefits of multilingualism. However, from our videos, we have found that most interviewees found using multiple languages bothersome and even impeding fluent communication at times. There are still many questions about multilingualism and social effects that we haven't figured out, so continue to keep an eye out~
Make sure that you check out DALN (Digital Archive of Literacy Narratives) to find more information about their work~
Throughout the course of our English 101 class with Dr. Mandy Suhr-Sytsma, we have come across other texts that have really helped us with our work. These texts are cited below.
