Read Mother Tongue by Amy Tan and answer the following question. Then “submit” your work.
Take note of and, if possible, transcribe a conversation you have had with a parent or other family member, with a teacher, and with a close friend. Write an essay comparing and contrasting the “languages” of the three conversations. How do the languages differ? How do you account for these differences? What might happen if someone used “teacher language” to talk to a friend or “friend language” in a class discussion or paper?
