A Postcards Approach to Addressing Culture
A Postcards Approach to Addressing Culture Joseph R. Weyers Postcards in the L2 Classroom Postcards beg to be explained. There is a story behind each vista that sheds light on the history and culture of the people and places we highlight in class. Once unraveled, the postcard's story deepens our students' connection with a place or tradition, giving life to history through tales of travel.

Vos and tú in the linguistic landscape: Attitudes toward their use in Medellín, Colombia
Although vos is common in speech in Medellín, it is considered non-prestigious for writing ( Agudelo Montoya et al. 2016 ). Nonetheless, vos is an important marker of local identity ( Jang 2013 ) that increasingly appears in writing ( Weyers 2016a ). Its presence suggests a potential upward shift in its prestige. For that to happen, favorable attitudes toward its use in writing are called for. Here we examine the linguistic attitudes of 222 medel…
Linguistic Attitudes Among Antioquian (Colombia) Teachers: Vos and Its Role in Education
Vos is regularly used in paisa (of Antioquia) Spanish, although written vos is considered non- normative. Recent research shows an augmented presence of written vos in public domains (Weyers 2016a, 2016b), which is viewed favorably by a majority of paisas (Weyers, forthcoming). So, what do Spanish teachers in Antioquia think about vos? Here we study the linguistic attitudes and self-assessed use of vos among a cross-section of paisa Spanish teach…
English shop names in the retail landscape of Medellín, Colombia: How English denotes prosperity and status in a recently transformed city
The city of Medellín, Colombia's second largest, impresses the visitor. What was once the most dangerous city in the world has gone through a metamorphosis since drug lord Pablo Escobar's death in 1993. Indeed, in 2013, Medellín was named the World's Most Innovative City by the Wall Street Journal and the Urban Land Institute (ULI). ‘Few cities have transformed the way that Medellín... has in the past 20 years' reads the ULI's explanation (Wall S…

Tuteo and voseo in the classroom: Linguistic attitudes among Montevidean educators
This study is based on the results of an online survey of Montevidean educators on their attitude toward the tuteo and voseo in the classroom. Traditionally, tuteo was considered the only correct form of address for classroom use in Uruguay’s capital. The results of the 78 completed surveys, along with qualitative data from 11 interviews, suggest a shift in that tradition. Teachers report using voseo with almost similar frequency as tuteo ; voseo…

Voseo in Montevideo’s Advertising: Reflecting Linguistic Norms
This study examines the role of the voseo, tuteo, and ustedeo in written advertising in Montevideo, Uruguay. Analysis of 133 samples shows a preference for voseo in publicity, although tú and usted are also present. While written voseo - with or without a tonic pronoun - has traditionally been stigmatized in public education (Bertolotti & Coll 2003 and Gabbiani 2000), its predominant role in advertising suggests an increased acceptance of that wr…

Providing the means to help candidates meet that minimum standard for certification is a fundamental consideration.
