Language and language policy analysis

For this week, we will be focusing on analyzing an article written by Dennis Baron. You can find the article in the Modules section of our course site. It is important that you read the article carefully, as it will serve as the foundation for this weeks assignment. Along with the article, you will find a worksheet with a series of questions designed to guide your understanding and analysis. Your task is to respond to each question with a minimum of four complete sentences. Be sure to use specific references from the article to support your answers and aim to demonstrate a clear understanding of the authors main arguments, tone, and use of evidence. Once you have completed your responses, please submit your work in the Assignments section by the due date listed. Late submissions may affect your grade, so make sure to manage your time accordingly. To help you better understand the material, I have also provided a PowerPoint presentation with supplemental information. This presentation covers key concepts, background information on the author, and tips for analyzing nonfiction texts. I highly recommend reviewing it before you begin the worksheet, as it will provide context and help clarify some of the more complex points in the article. If you have any questions or need clarification as you work through the assignment, feel free to reach out or post in the discussion forum. I’m looking forward to seeing your insights and thoughtful responses!
