  1. How does the way a person talk affect other’s perception of them? By Bradley Pierce

  2. Real Life Issues • Pidgin in Hawaii • Speech Disorders • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7X9AAeDCr4 • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLdg9FMp7f8

  3. Knowledge Issues • Can we really judge a book by its cover? • What makes a language legitimate?

  4. Pro Pidgin • Pidgin is an essential part of the Hawaiian culture • Should be taught and expressed • Less than ¾ of the state’s eighth graders were writing at or above a basic achievement letters but that Pidgin is not the sole cause of this performance. • Hawaiian identity

  5. Anti Pidgin • Critics of pidgin say that teaching pidgin is a disservice to the students. • People speak “real” English in jobs around the world • Pidgin impairs student’s grammar • Gov. Ben Cavatino said he appreciated being corrected when he spoke pidgin so that he could learn good english.

  6. My Personal Experience and Perspective on this matter

  7. Other Perspectives • Most native children growing up in Hawaii are exposed to pidgin and they speak it with their families and friends • Pidgin is an essential part of this culture that should be expressed. • People with speech disorders can be very smart. Most speech disorders are not the result of mental disorders.

  8. Why this is significant • Stereotyping • Jobs • Future Success

  9. Implications of other perspectives • Could change the way education is taught in Hawaii. • Society becoming more aware of speech disorders.
