In this paper, I shall critically review an article, entitled ' Thinking the Textbook in the ESL/EFL classroom by Wang Wen-Cheng, Lin Chien-Hung and Lee Chung-Chieh.' I shall also shed a light on the issues that have been argued in the article. Additionally, I will take down some notes about the subject matter of the article from my point of view, and after I pick out the issues of the article, I will add my concern about it and how is related to me and to my students in the process of teaching English in the classroom. The authors in the article have argued that textbooks are crucially significant in the process of teaching in the classroom since it provides novice teachers with guidance in the course and it also guarantees the structure, consistency, and coherent progress in the class. They have also presented that textbooks happen learners' needs of having something to work from and use it for homework for further study.
I get the rough conception in my head and progress it into actually writing. At first, before starting to write, I gaze at my computer screen and think about how I will actually start it, to the best of my ability in order to get the readers attention. Like everyone, I try to get the first words out, which is the only troublesome thing for me in the essay. After that, my mind starts to work like a computer and the rest of the sentence flows right in. This process happens to me while starting a new paragraph as well.
Not only will I use this source in writing my paper, but it will also be used as a frequent teaching tool as I continue my education. Higginbotham, A. Leon, Jr., et al, Race-ing Justice, En-Gendering Power: Essays on Anita Hill, Clarence Thomas, and the Construction of Social Reality, Pantheon, 1992. Toni Morrison wrote the introduction to
It will be assumed that you have read the text and have some introductory knowledge of the work to be covered each lesson; failure to do so may affect your progress in class. Your teacher will then teach you the concepts and show you how to do the examples in the workbook thus ensuring you have exemplars when completing additional questions from the workbook and texts. Your teacher also has all the worked answers to the additional questions in this workbook and you must check your answers when you
I began to see how negative scripts could cause problems. Before I journal about myself and my English is poor. I feel awkward but I will feel strong with my writing. I would like to continue writing an English diary, about the things I have thought about during the day, and if someone can give me suggestions about my English writing. It will be a good practice for me to brush up my English.
You will also have exams on the reading material that you read as well as homework. You may be required to watch a video associated with your reading material. Your assignments are graded, and you are given feedback on the work you turn in. Another similarity is the use of text books. Even though a course may be taken online, text books are still central to learning related information.
Code Mixing and Code Switching in Bilingual Educational Program of English Department Student of UNJ Most of students who are used to speak English and Indonesian in speaking class are open and familiar with bilingualism. The students always use their national language to communicate but it is not impossible for them to use English outside the speaking class in order the communication between them. However, it is not always happen when bilingualism is used in certain speech community like speaking class community. That is the reason that influences the students use code switching and code mixing. Khmert, Yim, Nett, Kan & Duran (2005) stated that code switching is an effective communication mode available to proficient bilingual speaker for interaction between other individual who share both language.
Setting my goals for writing a academic paper, I expect to have the abilities to use basic and advanced skills to produce good material. My challenges for writing for others, involve abiding by the instructions given, be precise and practice professionalism. My goals for this course are to become more proficient in reading and writing effectively. In my university career, I expect to use my lessons from this course to take on the challenges of my future courses, that require great use of reading and writing. From a professional view, I will use the knowledge obtained to become competent in my line of work.
For example, learning to decode followed by fluency is the first step followed by independent reading, reading with absorption, and ending with critical reading. ("Stages of reading," 2010) According to Chall, each student will progress through the stages in their own time and that development in learning to read can be affected by interactions with their environment. (Chall, 1983) I can support my students' development by understanding what to look for at each stage. I can also assist in their growth and development by knowing what works for them instructionally. The later may require some detective work but I welcome the challenge.
HOW I CAN IMPROVE MY STUDIES FOR GRADE NINE I can improve my studies for grade nine by building good study habits, work harder on your assignments and talk to your teacher(s) about my grades. I can start doing this now in my second term of school. I can build good study habits like review the lesson plan prior to class, take my quick notes neatly in class, if you read the material before class you will have an idea of what doesn't make sense and concentrate of your teacher's explanation, don't make notes on what's already in the book, it wastes your time and attention, if it's repeated more than twice it's going to be on the test and plan your breaks in the short and long term. I should skim through the textbooks to review the lesson. I take quick notes, but they are not clear so I should start colour coding my notes.
