This showcasesthe intricate linguistic dance that bilingual speakers engage in, which reflects a blend of linguis-tic choice and cultural narrative. This phenomenon is especially prominent in communities whereboth languages are woven into the social and cultural fabric, allowing individuals to fluidly navigatetheir bilingual identities [16], [17]. Beyond simple language mixing, code-switching incorporatesa sophisticated amalgamation of grammatical structures, cultural cues, and contextual relevance,highlighting the cognitive dexterity of bilingual

Thisallows students to manipulate aspects of the digital models by modifying current flow, shape ofcomponents, and orientation of the system to explore complex interactions between objects andfields. Activities then scaffold students to map these interactions to formalisms, such as Lorentzforces, Gauss’s Law, and Ampere’s Law, as well as abstractions, such as mathematical equationslike Maxwell’s equations.

The team at Southern Illinois University chose a group size of 5 middle or highschool students per group due to the larger physical dimensions of their activity, which meantthat 4 kits were constructed per classroom set with an expected enrollment of approximately 20students per class. The size of the classroom set also reflected the need for the kits to be portable.Both sets of kits were sized to fit neatly into one or two large plastic totes.

This process is complex as it requires not only wordrecognition but also an understanding of the delivery that reflects various emotional states [1].In utterance-level SER, emotions are classified for an entire spoken utterance, typically acomplete thought or statement. Here the emotions are considered as attributes of the wholeutterance, disregarding the temporal variations within it. The goal is to identify the dominantemotion conveyed in the utterance.Frame-level SER delves into a more detailed analysis by breaking the speech into smallersegments, often milliseconds long [2].
