Many may say what is English? I consider English to be a valuable aspect of a essential way uof life. Growing up I was the one who was fasinated with leaning how to read and spell, understand parts of English. Learning how to formulate words that would become a sentence. Focusing so hard on excelling in English I was having a hard time acknowledging the basic sentence patterens staying devoted I past it.
Middle-class schools focused around finding and then explaining how something was right. Teachers taught from the book and avoided answers to questions that weren’t in the book. Affluent Professional school was hands on. Students were able to ask questions to express their
He says, “The teacher talks about reality as if it were motionless, static, compartmentalized, and predictable” (para. 2) Whether the teacher is speaking of basic math or science information, or histories of past wars, the level of thought required by the student is all the same. This is the initial problem with the way we are educating students. Freire continues on to discuss deeper his concept of banking, and the problems with it. Education is really focused on memorizing information, not synthesizing it.
Despite good intentions, constant correction seldom has the desired effect. Such correction increases cognitive monitoring of speech, thereby making talking difficult. To illustrate, I have frequently taught a relatively simple new "dialect" to classes of pre-service teachers. In this dialect, the phonetic element "iz" is added
English composition class its useful to be taken since professor teach the students formal English, writing skills and grammar. When student learn how to communicate they will throughout and express in words that make sense. Some people argue that English courses are not required to be take in college as a result of its just waste of
Unit one also taught me to reevaluate how important certain priorities when it came to writing. I learned from the other unit one authors, Joseph M. Williams and James E. Porter, that when an essay is read by someone who is looking for grammatical error or plagiarism instead of content, they will often find the error and ignore the content. Although I do still know the importance of grammar and originality, this class and the grading style has let me put those constructs in the back seat until the editing process, instead of making them something I had to constantly worry about. I don’t believe that good writing revolves around grammar, but rather how well your words can convey a message to the intended audiences.
2. In general terms, reading involves decoding (i.e., fast, accurate, silent translation of isolated words) and comprehension (i.e., understand the meaning of words, sentences, paragraphs, etc.). Toby and Daniel are young readers. Toby has not developed decoding skills to the point of automaticity, whereas Daniel has. Using information processing theory as a basis, predict which student will do better on a reading comprehension test and
If you’re sitting in and not at a desk — in other words, if you’re a student — good grammar pays off in different ways: with better grades and an edge in college and graduate-school admissions. Teachers have always looked favorably on well-written sentences, and grammar has become increasingly important on standardized tests. This book alerts you to material favored by the torturers — sorry, the test writers — and provides you with some exercises that help you become familiar with common testing formats. (If you’re not clutching a number 2 pencil, don’t feel left out. The skills in those exercises help you, too, by
Phonological awareness is one of the most important education concepts of this decade. Teachers are talking about it, parents are trying to understand it, and publishers of early reading materials are trying to include it. Yet, it is a concept that is easily misunderstood. Some confuse it with phonics; others consider it a part of general print awareness. It is neither of these things.
I enjoyed this course because it helped me to identify several races. I think that this type of course needs to be taught the younger generation in grammar ages. The students are taught how to read and write, calculate mathematical equations and learn about our history. However, not much is taught in the form of teaching them about equality and to destroy prejudicial indifferences. This type of course, should also continue in junior high as well as high school.
