Role-playing videos of linguistic assertiveness strategies

<p>These seven short videos show various linguistic assertiveness strategies in practice.</p> <ol> <li> <p>A ML speaker is greeting a group of people in a neutral way, not using the ML explicitly.</p> </li> </ol> <p>2. A ML speaker is greeting a group of people explicitly in the ML. By doing this, the other ML speakers can be identified much more easily.</p> <p>3. An example of pole position and of bilingual conversation. The first speaker starts the conversation in Welsh and although he gets an answer in English, her response tells him right away that the person he&#39;s talking to understands Welsh and that there is no reason to switch to English.</p> <p>4. If someone doesn&rsquo;t understand you the first time, that doesn&rsquo;t mean he or she doesn&rsquo;t understand the ML. Just repeat what you were saying.</p> <p>5. An example of using pole position, repeating what you are saying and pointing. In very contextualised situations it usually gets you what you want without switching to the DL.</p> <p>6. Another example of using 1. pole position, 2. repeating what you are saying and 3. pointing.</p> <p>7. The strategies of pole position, bilingual conversation and how the ML speaker does not immediately switch to the DL, but instead translates the key words in the DL.</p>
