Tamra Kaspryzk: A Study in the Grammar of Guaranai

Written by admin on Jul 17th, 2009 | Filed under: university of arizona

Tamra was a senior majoring in Spanish at the university of arizona. She spent the summer of 2008 in Paraguay studying the Paraguayan-GuaranĂ­ dialect, which is spoken by indigenous populations in South America and is the second most commonly spoken language in Paraguay after Spanish. Kaspryzk’s motive was to understand the phonetics and morphology of the language. Among her most notable findings was the use of compound words. Tamra noted that “family member relations in this language are marked differently.” That goes for a person’s place and often age in a family. A sister might use two words for “brother” depending on whether she is referring to an older or younger sibling, said Kaspryzk. Tamra graduated in May 2009 and was awarded the College of Humanities Van de Verde Memorial Scholarship.

One of the unique experiences available to undergraduate students at The University of Arizona is the opportunity to engage in original research. UA undergrads work alongside research professors, graduate students and post-doctoral fellows, often in paid positions, and often are included as authors on papers published in academic journals. Nearly 30 students presented their work at the 22nd annual Undergraduate Research Forum, held on February 25, 2009.

BYE BYE BILINGUAL: Bilingual Education

Written by admin on Jun 14th, 2009 | Filed under: arizona education

Does bilingual education, teaching non-English speaking students academic subjects in their native language while they learn English, help students or hold them back?
