Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hello friend! Welcome to Bubbleangela & Tamcharles' couple double quest thread. That's a mouthful ain't it? Ever since we first joined Gaia we've been amazed at some of the items that are out there. Many of them, sadly, are out of our reach... but that doesn't mean we'll give up.

So here's the story! Since my darling has this thing for cute things and she didn't really like the Angelic Scarf anymore... It came to me, on Gaia the cutest item is AFK!

And I figure if she wants to be super cute, I'll be super evil with a Devil Tail. Bwahahaha!

We are now restarting a double quest for the both those items together. Like in real-life, it's always good to have a partner and we think Gaia is no different. We're going to try our best to work together on this and pool our gold to reach our goals.

But when you compare it to how much gold we have together, we can't possible afford the rising prices. So as it stands, perhaps as a blatent display of chivalry, I decided that we'll both lay off other spending and focus on Angela's AFK. heart

So if you have a free moment please BUMP and if you're feeling extra generous, please donate. Anything will help!

Don't forget the sponsor links are located at the bottom! Might as well help yourself to some free gold while you're here.

Thanks!

18/08/05: Vending hasn't been as profitable for me as of late. But I'm still making some head way with my June 2004 investments. The prices have shot up about 8k in the past 4 days. My March 2004 haven't been as lucky with a small gain of a few k. I still have hope and I push on!

30/07/05: I've obtained a Sash! The offer was approximately 2.56 million in value. One step closer to my goal!

28/07/05: I've begun to liquidate all my investment assets to acquire an Angelic Sash (est. 2.5 million). It's going to be a tough little bit, but I think I can do it.

18/07/2005: Huge news to report! Empress Iris made a huge donation to our quest today. And I mean a combined 60k huge! So a big big thank-you is in order. On behalf of both Angela and I -- THANKS!

10/07/2005: The GCG is back! And as such I'm revaluing my offer and my quest. I'm now sitting at 54.328% of my quest total based on upper GCG values.

09/07/2005: No real news to report, just fighting the good fight against price rises. Like those KiKi's jumping up a few days ago... crraaazzzy.

01/07/2005: Happy Canada's Day from Bubbleangela and Tamcharles!

26/06/2005: Well it seems that although the price of the DTail seems to have held steady for the past little while all is not good as far as this double quest goes. The value of my 2004 Collection (containing both donation items as explained in the last post) has dropped approximately ~200k in value. As a result in conjunection with the other items in my investment stash (which holds the value of my DTail offers), I've lost about ~300k in total value. However I do have good news, hence saving it for last! A friend of mine, ex-questor and helpful bumper, Ma-Ajmala, has completed her Angelic Sash quest today thanks to a generous seller. Just click this link to visit her thread . As envious as I am, I'm also very happy for her. See? Good things to happen to good people.

20/06/2005: Well, I finally took the time to update everything here. DT's are now sitting at 5.1 Million (having doubled since March05). And I have an offer that's 3 months late. Ah well... razz Anyways, I would love your feedback on this next matter (post in the thread please). Should I use my 2004 Collection (it contains both donation items for each month of 2004 + all 2004 Event Items) as part of my DT offer? I estimate that it would be valued at around 3 Million, however I'll double check to be sure. What do you think? Should I? Thanks in advance.

17/06/2005: It's fixed! It's fixed! Editting of this post has been fixed! Stay tuned for updates when I get off work! biggrin

27/03/2005: Oh why oh why did the DT jump to 2.4 Million. My hopes of owning the said item has been dashed!

22/03/2005: I had to stop vending/exchanging on the 18th due to a dupe exploit but I'm back now. biggrin

14/03/2005: Just obtained an AFK for Angela! 332k to Lachesia! Thanks! She also donated to my quest as well! biggrin

13/03/2005: AFK prices are now at 315k+. Transferring funds to DTail quest.

10/03/2005: The AFK prices have jumped by 20k and now sits at 310k+. We were so close... so close.

04/03/2005: Angela and I have decided to abandon our NM/Angelic Scarf Quest and transfer focus on obtaining the AFK & Devil Tail as part as our new couple quest. Of course, proceeds from the previous quest will be used for this new quest.

25/02/2005 : The 2003 Angelic Scarf just jumped to 225k+ now but the GEN is still quoting 186k from Feb 6. Useless GEN. GCG all the way.

14/02/2005 : Happy Valentines Day! heart

07/02/2005 : Well I'll cut to the chase, I've obtained the NM Scarf so now we're going to work on Angela's Angelic Scarf.

01/02/2005 : Well I know we said that we might not be able to do it anymore but, here we are... still. The price has shot up a little bit again since the last update. This still feels like a losing battle. Oh well... sad

26/01/2005 : I don't think we can do it anymore... In the last 24 hours the combined value of the two Dec04 Scarves have jumped 13,000g in price. Sadly, both Charles and I don't think we can keep this going anymore. Thanks to all who donated but at this rate, we can't keep up. Our combined vending doesn't even hold up to the value appreciation -- oh well cry .

25/01/2005 : Ahhh, we're all blind! These new donation items rock! If you haven't seem them yet -- take a blinding gander at our avatars. It's like a Star Trek transporter xd .

18/01/2005 : Updated our little welcome rant and thank-you for the donations! It's very appreciated!

16/01/2005 : Thanks again for the donations everyone! Your so generous smile . And a very specialized thanks goes out to R. Aideial and Alexi_Jameson for their donations of 10,000g and 20,000g respectively! WOW! whee On a more serious note though, the prices have risen yet again...

15/01/2005 : Thanks for the donations everyone! Your so kind smile . Best of luck to all of you in your own quests!

12/01/2005 : Well I hope you like the new spiffed up layout! This is the start of our new quest for both of the December 2003 donation items. That's right, those elusive Nitemare & Angelic Scarves! Thanks to all the bumpers so far! And feel free to have conversations in here! We both don't mind! ENJOY! smile

01/01/2005 : Happy New Year! Best wishes go out to everyone! smile

25/12/2004 : Merry Christmas! ... *pants*... We'd honestly sing for you guys but we've been making our way around Gaia singing for all the storekeepers! How come they don't sing back to us? biggrin

20/12/2004 : Bubbleangela has recieved her Fairy Wings! Tamcharles has recieved his EMO Bag! Thanks everyone for helping out on these two quests! blaugh

11/11/2004 : A moment of silence to remember and respect please... Lest we forget.

31/10/2004 : Happy Halloween everyon... ahhh zombies! Give back my labcoat... grrr... they ripped and bloodied it. surprised

13/10/2004 : Added sponsor links as our way of saying thanks to all the bumpers!

12/10/2004 : The official start of our questing! Fairy Wings and EMO Bag!

Parents have always sought to provide advantages to their children. Some plan out the week of their children to include for enrichment courses such as language immersion programs and other such settings. Studies have shown that there are differences in young children who acquire one-language (monolinguals) compared to those who acquire two-languages (bilinguals). It has been discussed that bilingualism imparts mostly phonological benefits in the short-term and over the long-term, cognitive benefits to those students. However, it is this pretence to begin with this is an observation, after your discussion it might be a pretence, but not yet that has prompted parents to consistently encourage such programs even when the results are inconclusive. Parents and scholars some scholars have a reason to believe this depending on their data, alike often believe that bilingualism (is usually associated with early learning) will increase cognitive abilities in children. As mentioned before, past studies do show just that, however there have been many inconsistencies in the studies of bilingualism versus monolingualism. As such, there exist many currently debated issues which still need to be addressed. Bilingualism is often a desired trait and is considered to be prestigious and impressive. Perhaps to the dismay of ambitious parents, studies are now showing that cognitive benefit conveyed by bilingualism may be short-lived and that overall, there is no general cognitive benefit to bilingualism as previously thought.

Meta-linguistic awareness and phonological awareness

It has been asked whether or not bilingualism affects a child’s ability to acquire language compared to the progress of a monolingual child. Monolingual children have been shown to acquire language in stages as suggested by Gleason & Ratner (199 cool . There are many theories about child language acquisition, to briefly summarize; children will first enter a holophrastic stage in which they use single word sentences (usually a content word). After which, they will start to develop telegraphic speech and will acquire the ability to show possession. After that stage, children will then learn to use conjunctions to create compound sentences to eventually acquire the ability to paraphrase.good recap of Child language acquisition.

Bilingual children at the same level have been shown to display similar stages, however it was noticed that they also displayed advanced meta-linguistic awareness over their monolingual peers as explained by Bialystok (as cited in Chen et al., 2004). The results of the study explain that “[bilingual children] have more advanced word awareness and syntactic awareness and usually show an advantage in phonological awareness as well” (Chen et al., 2004, p. 150). This was supported by a previous study by Rubin and Turner (as cited in Chen et al., 2004) who found that first grade English-speaking students in a French immersion program had greater phoneme segmentation skill than their peers in an English program. Chen then explains that the advantage conveyed by bilingualism is a natural consequence of learning more than one language at a young age. He points out that there is a contrasting effect between the languages which makes bilingual children more attentive to the phonological form of the words. Wagner et al. (as cited in Bialystok, Majumder, & Martin, 2003) also found that there were advantages in bilingual subjects which contributed towards increased phonological awareness.

It should also be noted that in the study by Chen et al. (2004), they found that having richer phonetic input seemed to convey advanced phonological awareness early on, this effect was short-lived and that by the fourth grade, the monolingual children had caught up. A similar effect which lends support for the above observation, identifies that differences between monolingual children and bilingual children had disappeared over time were also observed by Bialystok et al., (2003) in their studies. An observable general consensus among the above studies is that there are advantages conveyed by bilingualism, although still debatable, the increased awareness effects did level off. Is it possible that this increased awareness during the initial stages of bilingual language acquisition may be crucial in some way even though such differences dissolve later. Additionally, by 4 years these children may be comparable, with the one huge and obvious difference that a bilingual child can speak an additional language, which then can contribute to other (e.g., social) advantages.

Possible detrimental effects

Another topic often debated when comparing bilingualism and monolingualism is whether or not having to learn two languages (double the workload) has a detrimental effect on language acquisition in one or both of the languages. It has been suggested that learning two languages in childhood is not the same as learning one language and has been implied to result in delays in language development (Paradis, Crago, Genesee, & Rice, 2003). They found that when learning two languages, the languages often did not develop in perfect synchrony. Genesee et al. (as cited in Paradis et al., 2003) found that one language would exhibit dominance over the other. This dominance was not restricted and was also observed to change over time depending on input from the child’s environment. Paradis et al. (2003) elaborated on the subject to suggest that this dominance indicates that bilingual children may have less exposure to each of the languages, as compared to a monolingual child. However, this was not supported by their study in which a monolingual group and a bilingual group were compared by using coded spontaneous language samples. After analysis it was concluded that bilingual children displayed difficulties in morphosyntax (tense) which were also observed in monolingual children. Other factors were found to show no differences and this lead the authors of this study to suggest that bilingual language learning does not interfere with the overall course of language acquisition (Paradis et al., 2003).

Optimal period for second language acquisition

There have also been arguments regarding bilingualism versus monolingualism suggesting that normal language acquisition must occur only in early childhood. Manis, Lindsey, & Bailey, (2004) also addressed this critical period hypothesis. They found that maintained exposure to phonological sounds in early childhood that were particular to a language being acquired would allow for those children to learn the sounds of multiple languages when exposed to them. In bilingual children, Kormi-Nouri, Moniri, & Nilsson, (2003) found that when comparing with monolingual children, having to identify two sets of speech sounds was advantageous as the integration of the two languages in children allowed for better semantic and episodic memory. The also found that this advantage decreased with age and in older speakers learning a second language. In both studies the critical period was suggested to end around school-age; providing support for observations found by Chen et al., (2004) that the differences between the two groups would eventually decline. In all three studies (Manis et al., 2004; Kormi-Nouri et al., 2003; & Chen et al., 2004), it was found that there was support for the critical period hypothesis. Age differences in relation to performance were also observed, children did acquire a second language better when the learning was done at a younger age. However as mentioned previously, the cognitive advantages were shown to eventually reach similar levels in both types of children. It’s good to see that you are comparing across studies. To give some additional information to the readers, I would encourage you to provide some additional information regarding subject number, age range, and data collection methods.

Equal competence in both languages

It has been suggested that teachers and linguists alike have argued that there is a transfer effect involved from the first language to the second language. This issue was partially addressed in the study published by Kormi-Nouri et al., (2003). They found that in their study, as the bilingual children aged, it was observed that there was not equal competence in both languages. This was similar to the observations and suggestions made by Paradis et al., (2003). The bilingual students developed their first language less than their second language, and in the comparison studies out performed the monolingual students. They found that the cognitive studies suggest that, “knowing a second language extends rather than diminishes the individual’s capabilities” (Kormi-Nouri et al., 2003, p. 51). It is then reasonable to interpret the results such that learning a second language confers a positive benefit rather than creating problem by giving that person access to situations and experiences that are unique to a bilingual person (Kormi-Nouri et al., 2003). This is also in agreement with some of the results presented by Chen et al., (2004) in which he found that learning a second language also confer a benefit (albeit short-lived) which allows the bilingual children to manipulate phonological units better than their monolingual counterparts. However to offer a countering opinion, both Paradis et al., (2003) & Bialystok et al., (2003) found that there were no clear and consistent advantageous effects provided by bilingualism. Based on their results of the children’s performance, they ruled out a conclusion about a general bilingual advantage.

Two opposing views and suggestions for further research

In conclusion, as most of these studies have shown (and even within this limited comparison); language acquisition within bilingualism and monolingualism is still being debated. We can see that there are studies which point in opposing directions. There are many theories and studies that have suggested that bilingual benefits may initially be present until monolingual students catch up (Chen et al., 2003). In the same vein, it has also been reported that students, regardless of a bilingual or monolingual nature, showed the same progress when considering the overall course of language acquisition (Paradis et al., 2003). A more optimistic suggestion found that second language acquisition confers more benefits than hindrances (Kormi-Nouri et al., 2003). Finally, contrary to the optimistic view, Bialystok et al., (2003) found that there were no advantageous effects provided by bilingualism. These conclusions, although each of due merit, are obviously in contention with each other. As Gleason & Ratner (199 cool noted, the disagreements and contrasting conclusions by researchers on the topic, reflect their interests in the different perspectives of bilingualism and second language acquisition.

To address these differences and disagreements, there obviously exists a need for further research into this topic. As suggested by Gleason & Ratner (199 cool , that future research will need to consolidate the differing perspectives to ensure a more holistic approach that considers the learner, the environment and the broader contexts of language acquisition. Another suggestion that seems appropriate for further research in this topic would be to address the bilingual and monolingual interactions in more than just one group of students. In many of the studies, it was observed that the subjects were either learning two mutually unintelligible dialects of Chinese (Chen et al., 2004), the languages of Swedish and Persian (Kormi-Nouri et al., 2003), or the languages of French and English (Bialystok et al., 2003; & Paradis et al., 2003). The interactions observed and conclusions derived from the above studies could have been unique to those combinations of languages. Another approach would be necessary to identify the deep-seated principles that could have remained hidden meaning?. Lastly, nearly all of the above studies indicated that there were one or more serious control issues Again, the reader would have been able to assess this as well if more informormation had been provided . For example, the researchers could not reasonably control language exposure outside of observation (in home for example). Again another approach (perhaps the holistic approach suggested by Gleason) is necessary to perhaps work-around or diminish the effect of these control issues. It is reasonable to assume that this topic will likely remain hotly debated, if not among academia then among ambitious parents. In the meanwhile, it will be very interesting to see just who gets the last say.

Guys here's something interesting about our newest GCG member. I know we were all skeptical about her but now I have proof and I'm very against her in such a prominent position of the GCG. Frankly, she's a liar and that's not even the tip of the iceburg.

Isn't a web master PhD supposted to know what that is? Unless of course... something is wrong.




Princeton... really? Yeah... if that's what they call clown college!




Error, degree does not exist! Error 2, program doesn't exist!



No surprise. It doesn't exist! I can't even find it on google!



How do you forget this sort of info?



Indeed, thesis tend to be for Masters, dissertations for Doctorates.



Seems to thinks that an oral defense is like a test.



Alumni can't remember her ID? Must not be much of an alumni.



Interesting PhD student wants another Bachelors. Doesn't that happen everyday? razz



A Doctorate with no knowledge of what a cirriculum vitae is. Scary.



Seriously... PhD interested in BSc (BA whatever)?



Next is where I do some talking.



Notice that I don't lie about my credentials.



Someone did a quick google search it seems.

Hello friend! Welcome to Bubbleangela & Tamcharles' couple double quest thread. That's a mouthful ain't it? Ever since we first joined Gaia we've been amazed at some of the items that are out there. Many of them, sadly, are out of our reach... but that doesn't mean we'll give up.

So here's the story! Since my darling has this thing for cute things and she didn't really like the Angelic Scarf or the AFK anymore... so she asked me for the Sash!

I had recently completed my Devil Tail quest and I figured that it would be worthwhile to work at it again. I've done it once so we'll do it again.

So like in real-life, hand-in-hand together, we are now restarting a double quest for the October 2003 Angelic Sash. It's always good to have a partner and we think Gaia is no different. We're going to try our best to work together on this and pool our gold to reach our goals.

So if you have a free moment please BUMP and if you're feeling extra generous, please donate. Anything will help!

Don't forget the sponsor links are located at the bottom! Might as well help yourself to some free gold while you're here.

Thanks!
