Reflection

I learned that Canadian English is that much different from except for a different accent that is spoken with the English. my language beliefs hasn't really changed, if not ensured them more. we all speak the same language, just not the same way. If there are any questions that would like to raise in the future, it would be that how would this change and effect us over time. this has been a fun time researching and discovering, and i can only hope to learn more later in the future.

Recommendations

i would recommend that people look up language beliefs on the Internet themselves to see what i turned up and their may also be something different. Also ask yourself what you know about language in Canada, and ask others what they know and think about Canadian language as well. Things might change depending on the people you know or the results you turn up yourself when you research and ask yourself these questions. I think that i would help for people to specifically look at what other people know about Canadian language and how it relates to English, if at all. 

Conclusion

Based on my research, i have found that people know a lot about Canada.  It was interesting  to me  to see all of the different language beliefs that people have, and then base that off of what people think about Canadian language. Seeing what they thought about their own language seemed to influence what they thought about Canadian language, versus the question that asked what they were TOLD about language in Canada.  We can learn from this that what people hear from others and think themselves influence the thoughts of others things. it was interesting to see that most people thought it was just like our English, though some thought there might be an accent and knew the spoke french as well.

Here is an interpretation of my data

From my survey and my graph, i found out that people do know a bit about Canada, though those same people could not answer the question about language in Canada. Most of what people said was what i think they heard from TV and other sources, and i wish i had included a question about where they got the information from. all in all this data supported some of the conclusions i made in earlier posts, and i hope to have more posts up later...

Here is some of my findings from my survey.

Here is the chart and some extra things i learned from the survey that i gave to my ninth grade lit and comp class. --------------------------------->


This table shows that people that more people actually had something to say about Canadian language that was truthful and honest rather than people not knowing anything about Canadian language, which is represented by the green bar.

I might have another chart up depending on the assignment.....

My Language goals for this project

I know this is way late since i already completed part of my research, but here it is anyway.

1: set up blog in correct format

2: language goals

3: language beliefs

4: secondary research

5: primary research

6: post data from survey

7: post source citations from research

8: summary

I know this is not the order that i did it in, but put the pieces of the puzzle together and it will all make sense eventually.

A Servey

here is a survey that i typed up too see what other people think.

1: What do you assume language is like in Canada?

2: Do you know anyone that lives in Canada or has traveled to Canada and a tell you about language in Canada?

3: What are your language beliefs?

4: what do you know about Canada as a country?

these questions when answered will give me a better in-site about Canada and its language beliefs...
