Top COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course studies the role that language plays in the Asian American experience and in the shaping of ethnic identity. Historical, cultural, and linguistic circumstances of Asian Americans serve as background to explore such issues as bi/multilinguality and ethnic identity; names and naming; language attitudes; intercultural communication and ethnicity; and language choice, language maintenance, and language shift. These topics will be explored together with related issues of language ideologies, bilingual education, and second language acquisition. Furthermore, while the focus is on the United States, this course subscribes to a transnational, hemispheric approach to the study of the Asian American experience.
Top COURSE OBJECTIVES & EXPECTED OUTCOMES
This course aims to provide students with opportunities to explore and examine issues relevant to ethnic identity and the Asian American experience from a language, or linguistic, perspective.

Students should, at the end of the course, have acquired a deeper understanding of the role of language in the social construction of ethnic identity in the Asian American setting. Students should also have gained some perspectives on language attitudes, bi/multilingualism, bilingual education, and language choice -- in conjunction with issues of language maintenance, language shift, and language loss -- and be able to bring what they have learned to discourse on the ramifications of these issues at the local and global levels.

Top COURSE CONTENT
This course consists of lectures and student-led discussions and presentations of assigned readings. Course work includes presentations of readings by students (or students working in pairs), who will lead the discussion of two readings (to be selected by the student in consultation with the instructor). Students will also submit a final project at the end of the quarter.
Top STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES
Students are expected to:
  1. Read the assigned readings prior to class.

  2. Attend class regularly and participate actively in class discussions and other class activities.
    . A mailing list for the class will also be used for dissemination of information and student-initiated discussions concerning topics brought up in class.

  3. Present (individually or with a partner) two readings for class discussion. Outlines (in PowerPoint format) should form an integral part of the presentation. Other materials, such as e-corpora, to accompany the presentation may be prepared as needed.

  4. Submit a one-page proposal of the final project, together with select references, by Week 7.

  5. Present the final project orally in the final week of class.

  6. Submit a written version of the final project (about 10-12 double-spaced pages plus references), in hardcopy and digital format at the end of the quarter. Include textual data and/or multimedia materials as needed. Students are expected to create an e-portfolio containing their course work, to be submitted on CD-ROM at the end of the quarter.

DISABILITY SERVICES
Students with disabilities that have been certified by the Office for Disability Services will be appropriately accommodated, and should inform the instructor as soon as possible of their needs. The Office for Disability Services is located in 150 Pomerene Hall, 1760 Neil Avenue (Tel: 292.3307. TDD: 292.0901)

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY (ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT)
Academic integrity is essential to maintaining an environment that fosters excellence in teaching, research, and other educational and scholarly activities. Failure to follow the rules and guidelines established in OSU's Code of Student Conduct may constitute "Academic Misconduct." OSU's Code of Student Conduct (section 3335-23-04 Prohibited conduct) defines as academic misconduct "[a]ny activity that tends to compromise the academic integrity of the university, or subvert the educational process." Examples of academic misconduct include (but are not limited to) plagiarism, collusion (unauthorized collaboration), copying the work of another student, possession of unauthorized materials during an examination, and submission of the same work for credit in two (or more) courses. Ignorance of the University's Code of Student Conduct is never considered an "excuse" for academic misconduct; hence, be sure to review the sections dealing with academic misconduct in the Code of Student Conduct. Be sure also to read the University's Ten Suggestions for Preserving Academic Integrity and/or the Eight Cardinal Rules of Academic Integrity (from Northwestern U.). The University's policy on academic misconduct will be enforced in accordance with Faculty Rule 3335-5-54, and all alleged cases of academic misconduct will be reported to the Office of Academic Affairs' Committee on Academic Misconduct (COAM) for resolution. In addition, graduate students should be familiar with the Graduate Student Code of Research and Scholarly Conduct (pdf). Students with questions concerning the University's policies or questions concerning academic or research misconduct are encouraged to ask the instructor any time during the quarter.

    The photo that serves as the logo on this webpage is a 1960's night scene of Vancouver's Chinatown where I grew up. The photograph is from Paul Yee's (2005) book, Chinatown: An Illustrated History of the Chinese Communities of Victoria, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Toronto, Montreal and Halifax (Toronto: James Lorimer & Company, Publishers). An easy-to-spot clue that this is a Chinatown scene in North America is the prominent "CHOP SUEY" neon sign above the Chinese restaurant, Bamboo Terrace, as shown in this larger color photograph (thanks to my younger brother, Glen Chan, for scanning the color photo). Note that the same scene in a 1960 black-and-white photograph, which was scanned for an earlier version of this course page, shows a second "chop suey" sign that is partially obscured on the left-hand side of the photo (from Paul Yee's earlier (1988) book, Saltwater City: An Illustrated History of the Chinese in Vancouver, published by Douglas & McIntyre and by the Univeristy of Washington Press).

    The photo to the right, which depicts a puppeteer manipulating her puppet, is from the Photo Gallery of Columbus' Asian Festival, an event held each spring at Franklin Park in Columbus, Ohio.
