In speaking to other ELL students whose home language is different, ELL students, use English but due to the students’ limitations in their English proficiency, they expose each other to more broken English I will value the instructional power of a word wall by frequently utilizing, maintaining, and updating it.All too often, secondary educators miss important opportunities to build the literacy skills of all students. This is especially true in
Through their experiences there were many comparisons to suggest but some stood out more than others; such as, how each writer grew up learning do deal with their family and their English, and on that note what they are doing now to understand how their English language as a second language affects others. The first of the differences was experiences in family life. Each of the writers had very different experiences when it comes to family. Amy Tan had a term she explained as “different English” where Richard Rodriguez had a term he explained as “family quietness”. The difference in the two is that although Amy’s mother did have a hard time speaking the language clearer that the average English speaker she was able to have a language with her family that was English but they had a certain bond with it.
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
During the high school careers of many young Ontario students, they will be faced with a wide variety of texts of different beliefs, cultures and themes. While marvelous writers exist in all cultures, Ontario students should only study Canadian writers in order for them to become accustomed to their culture. By solely studying Canadian literature in a grade 12 course, Ontario students can better focus on their own Canadian culture, replace the archaic novels currently being read, and value the diversity that being a Canadian means. Students in Ontario taking an English course should only study Canadian literature because they are currently infested by the American culture surrounding them. There is a historical attachment to this issue as Canadians have always been a “branch plant” of another country, namely England and France.
11 December 2014 Drowning in the Discourse Julie Wildhaber says that “A strong, well-defined voice is the bridge between you and your audience: It helps your readers understand who you are, and it helps you engage them” (Wildhaber). For students in college, their audience will always be their professor. Along with expecting a strong voice, professors expect students, even first year students, to master and employ the many other writing skills that make up academic discourse. Most students tend to prioritize the more technical conventions of writing over the development of a distinguished and personalized voice. The conventions of college writing are very complex and if professors are more helpful and patient with first year students as they learn academic discourse, students will be better prepared for all future academic endeavors and they will have a better opportunity to strengthen and develop their voice.
I totally agree. High school teachers tend to go easy on their students, try to pass them but not help them with their future. I think that is one of the reasons for such a high dropout rate in college. And most of my friends end up in preparation courses for calculus and composition. More and more computer based lessons have been given to high school students.
American education emphasizes cultivating a student’s mind rather than requiring him to memorize mere facts. Students are encouraged to learn by doing, by expressing themselves and by discussing. While in China, students usually have to put into their minds a lot of numbers, facts, rules etc in order to successfully deal with their frequent examinations. Thus, education in China seems to put more emphases on oriented education and this consequently results in a lack of manipulative abilities. Second, the overall system frames in the two countries are different.
Other languages that are used in Thailand are Chinese, Lao, Malay and Mon-Khmer, while English use is becoming more prevalent in government and commerce (Walt, 2009). English is also being taught as a second language in secondary school and universities, which enables the English speaking visitor in Thailand to have little trouble conversing. This is significant to the nurse, as should be prepare for a translator if English is not very fluent, as medical terms may be difficult to understand, and the Thai patient may nod in approval without fully understanding what is being discussed. The official language spoken in Poland is Polish. It is spoken by most of the 38 million people who reside in the country (Littler, 2010).
Making sure they do their homework before sleeping or playing with friends and making them get up on time to go to school. After I came to the U.S, the strange environment brings more difficulties of study and daily life to me. Chinese high schools need to do much better job for teaching students how to be mature and to take responsibility for themselves, so students will be able to manage their own lives when they grow up. Parents in China prepare daily life and study problems very well for their children during the high school. They manage all of the life tasks and even help their children apply to colleges, but then, when their children go to other countries to attend colleges; those children like me are unable to handle those necessary tasks by ourselves.
Using Drama Activities and Techniques to Foster Teaching English as a Foreign Language: a Theoretical Perspective. Al Quds Open university. http://www.qou.edu/english/conferences/firstNationalConference/pdfFiles/muntherZyoud.pdf Appendix https://www.ted.com/talks/suzanne_talhouk_don_t_kill_your_language A Tedx Talk about cherishing your mother tongue. There is an increasing linguistic move towards a more Anglo-Centric world, however, this talk urges you to be proud of your mother tongue. I feel this is very important, perhaps not to students at trinity but to certain friends or students of mine who prefer English to their own language because they think it makes them sophisticates, smarter and more worthy of a place on the global stage.
