Languages at Work

Inquiry statement 探究说明 tànjiū shuōmíng:

Many jobs seek workers who can use different languages for the purposes of (a) interacting with clients and (b) completing workplace tasks. At the same time, journalists and content creators share news and "infotainment" about multilingual workers for the purposes of informing and persuading larger audiences about this work. In this unit, we will explore how language choices at work, along with reports about multilingual work, promote human relationships and community-building, and how taking such initiatives serves as leadership for other people to use multiple languages at work.

Inquiry questions 探究题 tànjiū tí:

Factual: What languages are needed for what jobs?

事实题：哪些工作需要什么语言？

Conceptual: For what purposes does someone use two or more languages at work?

概念题：人们在工作中，为什么要用两种或更多的语言？

Debatable: How do reports about multilingual work help anyone?

辩论题：报道人们报道关于多种语言的工作，怎么能帮助大家？

Research micro-presentation

研究报告 yánjiū bàogào

With continuous advice from your teacher, prepare a visual slideshow presentation based on the following:

choose, or modify, one inquiry question, above,
find answers from valid online sources
- keep a copy of links to each source
use online tools (Google Translate, ChatGPT, etc.) to describe the basic information you found to answer the question.

Your slides should include:

- your question in Chinese, pinyin, and English
- one slide per answer to the question
  - with one or more images
- citations, pasting in
  - each link to the source of your answer to the question
  - each online tool used to get the words or sentences used on that slide

Again, check with the teacher frequently on:

- if the question makes sense to you

- if the source of information is okay to use

- if the sentence from the online tool works for your context
