STUDENT: So my perspectives about language
have changed significantly over the course of this class.
I think in awakening me and making
me acknowledge biases and perceptions that I had
and trying to recognize that all languages are equal.
You know, and thinking about other aspects of my life
where, you know, wanting as a minority woman of color,
thinking of equality in that terms
that I never thought to apply it to language.
I never really considered how important language
is as far as identity.
You know, we learned a lot about how, in this class,
language is not just--
there are political, social, and economic implications.
And so, I feel like this class has changed my perspective
in making me aware of those things
and realizing that language is important and that, yeah,
that all languages are equal.
