Insider or Outsider?
The text talked a lot about gathering information from verbal performances, storytelling, and working with different languages. It was all very informative but I personally found the Groundwork Activity box on page 351 very interesting. It brought up a lot of good quality questions like: In what ways do you understand its language forms? What do you wish you knew? In what ways will you always be a nonnative speaker? Then it breaks down tips into three different steps. The first step talks about making a list of words, phrases, and other verbal artforms. They tell you to do this so you can ask an insider and an outsider what they think about the words or phrases you have listed. I think it would be interesting to see what an insider and outsider thing when they are side by side. I wonder if there would be any friction on the different opinions or simply the lack of knowledge.
