Being in Mr. Bostwicks class I’ve learned a lot. My grammar has improved. I have learned better study habits and I think I have really grown with my writing abilities. Mr. Bostwick has taught my an easier way to set up my paragraphs. One of Mr. Bostwicks many mantras he has us memorize is something I think really helps me and it goes a little something like this “ words make up phrases and clauses, phrases and clauses makes sentences, sentences makes paragraphs, and paragraphs makes composition.” Altogether I give mister Bostwick my SEAL of approval.
Historical context pertains to logos, which appeal to the reader’s common sense and beliefs. This tool is important because it brings the reader to feel confident that English has been, and will continue to be, spread across the world. The author states specific examples in history that have promoted language growth and links them to the same factors pertaining to English. Crystal makes his point that "A language has traditionally become an international language for one chief reason: the power of its people- especially their political and military power." (355).
Unit 9 M2 In this assignment I will be doing a comparison between two different types of agents by looking at their differences and similarities. I will be looking at call centres and multiples. Thomas Cook and STA Travel Differences Thomas cook has retail agents that they operate which are located in the high street. This allows customers to come in the retail shops and get brochures and book their package holiday. The customers come to the front office of the retail shop and this is where the travel agent welcomes the customers and they must make a good first impression.
Summary Response Amadeo Constanzo is the author of “Do You Really Think You Are a Good Writer?” and he believes that if you are in a remedial class English then “instead of wasting time and energy on negative thoughts, use the energy and time to improve your writing” or other skills. Constanzo supports remedial classes because even the best athletes train to be better just like a writer practices to become a better writer. I very much agree with Constanzo because the majors I currently have would eventually deal a lot with presentation documents. I am also in remedial English and I know that it would help me becoming a better writer. Benjamin Franklin once said “If a man empties his purse into his head no one can take it away from him.
In closing, the importance of bilingualism, from my point of view is evident in everyday life. Whether it be I’m pressing 1 for English to speak to a customer service representative or saying hello to someone who may not have English as their primary language, I am constantly coming across the importance of having that as an option for our future generations’
This is my first year in the ESL class of Essex County College. I have learned many things in my ESL 103/104 class. But there are things I`ve done well and wrong. Also I would like to evaluate this year in terms of how I improved my English skills (speaking, writing, reading and listening). Most of the things I've done well in this class.
In an article called the impact of Authentic Literacy Instruction on Adult Literacy practices shows that teaching adults to understand English as it correlates to their daily lives makes a significant difference. Where traditional practices in the classroom are helpful to some students, authentic learning practices such as role playing and mimicking real life situations to make connections for the adults helps many other students (Purcell-Gates Et all. 2002). These practices can be used everyday anywhere at any given time. Inevitably, creating a connection visually realistically or even hypothetically can simplify the concepts of grammar, listening speaking and writing
I am now in college; I know how to communicate with American people in English. I can say I had past all the stages of adjusting to a new culture. In the process of adjusting to the culture of America I learned to value my country for all the beautiful memories I have from there. And love the American culture. Even though the process has not been easy I am happy to be here because now in this country I can fulfill my
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. I am extremely excited to be a new teacher during the same time the Common Core is being implemented. I look forward to helping my students meet their goals and seeing them prosper in reading and writing. I want to be that teacher that the student remembers when they are grown up and that teacher who makes a difference in a students life.
