One learning objective is acknowledging mine and others’ range of linguistic differences as resources. This means that I see what is good in the way that others speak or write. Then I try to use this in my own writing. For example, when I am reading an article or just having a conversation with someone, I can take vocabulary or grammar from others, and use it in my own writing and speech.

I have developed this objective in this arena by reading others essays drafts in peer review and outlines in discussions. When I did this, I was able to see where there was excellence in my classmates’ writing. For example, I saw that my classmates had organized the essay in a certain way, so I also organized my essay similar to my classmates.
