My Revised Essential Question: How are the skills of Speech-Language Pathologists useful in intercultural communications involving the pragmatics of language?

My Revised Foundation Questions:

1. What is Speech-Language Pathology.

2. How are pragmatics a part of language?

3. In what ways can Speech-Language Pathology be usefully involved in intercultural pragmatic issues?

Project Prospectus

Tentative Point: I intend to evoke thought concerning Speech-Langauge Pathologists occupying capacities that are not commonly discussed that involves intercultural pragmatic communication issues.

Genres Include:

1. BioWeb (it is about Icate fictional a clinician )

2. Poem ( it is about Icate fictional clinician )

3. Fictional Humanitarian Organization ( The Unity Corps), their voice will be represented by a public service announcement.

4. Fictional Global Corporation (Sentessity), their voice will be represented by a powerpoint presentation--given by one of their executives, Chez Luka.

5. Fictional Pediatrician (Dr. Kirkly) refers Popur Hai (a Asian bilingiual client) to Icate Bloomington .

6. Fictional Newletter ( Converse Newsletter), it focuses on intercultural issues that concern the Speech Pathology community. This newsletter is received by Icate at her private therapy center ( Achieve Speech Center) in Austin, Texas.

My project wil be connected by the newletter that Icate receives, the voices of Sentessity and Unity Corps will be conveyed through articles written in the newletter. The audiences I intend to reach with this project includes buisness owners, speech pathologist, families dealing with intercultural issues and public organizations interested in these types of ideas.
