Chapter 4 from Education Foundations talked about “Ebonics Debate” which is the language African American children are using. This is a language that they have been taught since they were in diapers from their parents.

Corrections from teachers may affect student’s attitude toward their teachers and school work. Another thing that is reading talked about was group identity.…
Speech and Language Therapy Assessments Each child with ASD is individual in their needs and ability so assessments should be chosen to suit Joshua’s in terms of his behavioural challenges and capability.

to find someone with more extensive background to be a support to our school. I would make sure to find a way to have available the professional development and resources my teachers needed to be successful with their ELL students. Most of my leadership decisions would be based on the population of ELL students. The current school where I am teaching has a very limited number of ELL students. However, I have taught at a school where the majority of the student population were ELL students.…
The divergence in educational outcomes in the Northern Territory primary and high school between Indigenous and non-Indigenous students has seen the highest illiteracy rates and low performing academia Australia, condensed widely in remote communities.

Though the two main language classes at my school are French and Spanish, the school also has an annual Language Day that emphasizes the multiculturalism of our school where each can share food from their culture or other aspects such as dance or a tradition. I emceed the cultural performances on Language Day this past year where we had song performances in various languages as well as…
University was outside the ordinary. Howard University had two courses designed to enable students to pass the language exams in order to get into graduate school. Schools may vary on languages taught in school; however, I believe it is important to be fluent in another language other than English.

new English curriculum standard suggests that the purpose of English teaching in primary school is to cultivate students’ interest in English. Game teaching conforms to the psychological characteristics of elementary students, which is conducive to the students’ physical and mental development. The game should not be “trick” but the bridge between learning and using in the class(Zhang Zhiyuan,2002). Primary school students love playing, singing, drawing, all full of curiosity. Teachers can,…

Yet, English was not easy to come by as it was a completely new language and new subject. However, I had many helps from my family, friends, teacher, books, and even television was a big help.

extensive language is critical for developing comprehension as students develop throughout the school years. Research suggests that the lexical development is the factor that supports the phonological analysis to the representation of the phonological system.
