The main reason we chose this course is because all three of us have the exact interest in Discourse Analysis. The subject itself is a broad topic, therefore we choose to focus on unIslamic expressions, both verbally and sign language that are used by Muslims English speakers. For example, "Oh My Gosh!" and "Touch wood". Adding on, we find that this course is very interesting for the reason that we can connect it to the common issues that Muslims English speakers are dealing with. Thus, this project can be an eye opening for Muslims to be aware of their language use as well as helping them in reflecting their Muslim identity in more appropriate way.
Good rationale.
