Debrief Slide 35: H. G. Widdowson states (p. 104) that:

“Literacy can intensify a sense of self only if written texts are put in relation with readers’ selves, i.e., if they are read not just as linguistic products but as discourse.”

In your opinion, what is Widdowson referring to and why?

James Gee states (p.105) that: “Literacy”, says Gee, “is much more than just the

ability to read and write. It is an ability to signal one’s membership in a socially meaningful discourse community.”

What does Gee refer to when he states “…signal one’s membership..”? 9

Kramsch discusses in Chapter 6 the nature of the linguistic sign of language as:

The link between a language and its legitimate discourse community

The symbolic capital associated with the use of the particular language or of a literate form of that language

She concludes with the idea that these concepts are associated with language in relation to a person’s sense of self

Do you agree or disagree? Why?
