Hello my wonderful, loyal viewers (aka Ashton) This is Uptake Post #10. Wow. Year is almost over and I am getting to this post quite late, and my article is already complete, so i am just gonna partake in some reflecting.
When brainstorming my Grassroots Journal, I immediately knew I wanted to write about the hard of hearing community. I have multiple connections to the community, including a very close friend of mine who requires a hearing aid. It seemed like the best decision for me.
As I was writing my journal, it definitely expanded my understanding of translingualism, as well as global englishes very well. To study a language that requires zero spoken words, it really affects your view of what language as a whole really means. I treally enjoyed the knowledge I gained from studying this. I feel very in tune with deaf culture, moreso than I was, which is great.
