Article for July 31st Discussion

Dear all,


I enjoyed last week's discussion where not only ufology but also religions, cultures, and issues of right to know are addressed. Thanks James for having the interesting article!


This week we are going to talk about issues of the conflict between mother tongue and English. Though the case the author addressed is happening in Indonesia, I think we may reflect what happens there to what may happen / has happened in Taiwan. As Maria is from Indonesia, it would help us better understand the situation if Maria can provide her personal experiences and perspectives. However, Maria can't make it on July 31st. That's ok. We still have alternatives. If possible, Maria you can leave you comments regarding the article below on this blog, or you can share your perspectives with us the week after.


Sorry Maria I did not intend to put you on the spotlight, hope you dont mind :P


So here's the article we are going to discuss on July 31st (Taiwan time):


As English Spreads, Indonesians Fear for Their Language


Talk to you soon :)


Best,
Angela
