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.
Finding what is most helpful for meeting the goals set out in the standards may be difficult for a new teacher. Setting high standards and clear goals for students help set them up for their future, make them feel valued and have a goal to reach for. Close-Reading is a careful and purposeful way of reading that help the students to actually comprehend what they are reading and in turn makes reading more desirable. Additionally text-based evidence aides in the understanding and comprehension by providing students with well structured and purposeful text. There are so many times in my life I wish I could go back to my early education years and pay closer attention to what I was being taught.
Modifying a Lesson Plan for English Language Learners (ELL) By Linda Brown Teaching Literacy to ELL Students E6536 Instructor: Ella Benson Argosy University As the number of English learners increases in schools across the United States, educators are seeking effective ways to help them acquire the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in the classroom. The SIOP Model* is a research-based and validated model of sheltered instruction. Professional development in the SIOP Model helps teachers plan and deliver lessons that allow English learners to acquire academic knowledge as they develop English language proficiency. The Center for Applied Linguistics is an excellent place for educators to gather research-based tools for working effectively with English Language Learners.This is a model, I will use to create a lesson plan for ELL students. The key points are to clearly post, refer to, and review learning objectives and language objectives.
These views can be compared to Boud et al. (1985), cited in Farrelly (2010: p.26) which states that reflection is; “A complex and deliberate process of thinking about and interpreting experience in order to learn from it.” These three definitions demonstrate that reflection is a process of evaluating an incident and changing things, in order to provide better understanding and practice. This is supported by Schön (1983) who described that reflection is the way in which the knowledge that underpins practice can be discovered and improved. Miller et al. (2008) suggest that in order for professionals to challenge their practice, they must reflect on their practice.
Therefore they hold that nurture or experience is responsible for language acquisition. There is substantial research evidence that supports a nativist approach as there is for the empiricist approach. The strengths and weaknesses of the approaches and the research evidence will be discussed and evaluated further. The two opposing sides have debated whether language acquisition is a domain-general process (empiricists) or a domain-general process (nativists). Chomsky, Pinker and Fodor are nativist theorists and their ideas and theories will be discussed first.
Donald Bear, Marcia Invernizzi, Shane Templeton, and Francine Johnston (2008) explain that there are two purposes for word studies. First is to help students develop a general knowledge of English spellings. Second, word study increases their specific knowledge of the spelling and meanings of words. Word studies are developmental because teachers must differentiate instruction for different levels of word knowledge (Bear et. Al, 2008).
And this too, is far from the truth for some students, but not for others. ESL (ELL) is a term that should either be qualified when used or discarded as a general term. The assessment of ELL/ESL/EFL learners is a significant foundational process for teachers to determine the appropriate teaching and learning programs for their students from kindergarten to the mature adult level. ELL assessment traditionally includes measures of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. There are three basic kinds of assessment instruments.
My Problem When Learning English Studying is important thing in my life. As a student, I always study in order to I can reach my dream in the future. English is important things that must be mastered in the modern world. We can not deny that. If we want to be successful in our study or in our job, we must master it.
According to one of the fundamentals of tiered learning, flexible grouping can be an asset and an overall goal for building skills and lifelong learning habits for the future (Carol Ann Tomlinson, professor at the Curry School of Education at the University of Virginia). The assessment of a foreign language classroom is different from Math or Science in that the answers may differ and vary. The quality that foreign language teachers look for in the final product is more important that the quantity. With careful planning and clear rubrics, formative assessment and tiered learning can be combined in a foreign language classroom. The final product should display the quality and variety that all languages and cultures provide.
A view of where the versatility, riches and diversity of the language lies may be seen here, this paper shows not only a summary of the history of the English language, but also the significance of studying it in depth. The paper also shows several reasons why constituencies such as creative writers, tutors, English speakers and even immigrants who may be learning English should study the history of this language. Why the Philologists We Should Care About Language History. Studying the history concerning the English language may be of paramount importance in the contemporary world. Some words we use when speaking could have different meanings in other places, English being a language used globally, it may be of immense significance for a native to learn its origin.
