Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

* This commentary significantly departs from the standard written form for contributions to The Forum over the years (i.e., 1992-1999). While commenting on one aspect of TESOL that is of particular professional and personal interest to me-the development and maintenance of minority Lls during childhood second language acquisition (e.g., Kouritzin, 1999, in press)-I present an argument for the importance of continued use of the familial heritage language by referring to documented accounts of my own experiences as the (White) mother of (biracial) Japanese-speaking children. I hope to augment the academic arguments in favour of bilingual education and heritage language maintenance with a more intense, lived, personal one. My husband and I wish to ensure that our children grow up bilingual-speaking, reading, and writing not only English but also their other heritage language, Japanese. The reasons for this imperative are threefold:

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
