    Melina Marchetta once said “Because without our language, we have lost ourselves. Who are we without our words?”(Melina Marchetta quotes about language) Without words there is no passion or purpose for us to portray our thoughts and opinions.

    While making changes to the text I implemented specific strategies suggested by the report. Those strategies include: distinguishing academic language from everyday vocabulary, contextualizing vocabulary instruction, and contextualizing through familiarity with genre and structure. When identifying the main ideas and key words I prepared the text for the students by underlining, or highlighting the items. Another option that can be used is, providing a separate list to be used as a point of reference. For consistency, the structure of the passage that has been adapted should be clear and consistent, this was accomplished by beginning each paragraph, or section of the text, with a concise topic sentence.…

Combined with the nightmare portrayed in 1984 of a world systematically destroying their own tools to communicate with others, I decided to look into what effects language has on the expression of emotion in our society today. Language consistently conveys critical messages which are necessary to move forward.…

    Literacy is how we read and write, thus it is extremely important to involve literacy when teaching various subjects. These subjects include physical education, science, mathematics, art, and etc. Without reading and writing, we would not be able to retain the majority of the information communicated. As Fisher and Ivey specified “your cognitive interaction with the information presented would be extremely limited” (7). This being said, we can imagine what it would be like to sit in a classroom, only observing and listening to what is being taught.…

As far as i know, it has been reported that several languages become extinct every year.
