Language Observation Paper

This behavior is normal because the child is new to this language and situation. He's exposed to a new environment and on top of that, he doesn’t speak the language. I don’t think reefing him is the best option at this time because he barely has 2 months in school. I would be worried if he would speak it and understand it but he seems to understand some words that mean he is leaning the language. Everything that he sees and hears is new to him and he’s observing to see what’s going on. He first needs to feel safe, comfortable and welcome to start speaking to others. We will continue observing him see if he makes improvements and then will go from there.
Some strategies that I would use to help him are teaching him the basic words to take

And immediately after about three months I started to see a difference in the way my son spoke and even socialized with others.

Lacking the type of privilege Clare possesses in Abeng, Annie unknowingly opts for using her written language, rather than her spoken language, to shape her personal maturation. One early example of this is when Annie John, upon reading her textbook in school, stumbles across a picture of Christopher Columbus in chains. Smirking at this image of the oppressor in a state of oppression, she decides to “write under it the words ‘The Great Man Can No Longer Just Get Up and Go” (Kincaid 78). Here, by incorporating the caption under the picture, Annie…

    Ever since Medieval scholars began studying different civilizations centuries ago, culture has been considered an elusive and controversial concept—while some believe that culture is carried with us, like an invisible charm, others believe that it exists in the air around us, living in the things we say and the foods we eat and the traditions we pass down to our children. Some even believe that it doesn’t exist at all, or that it has all melted together into one incomprehensible mass of beliefs and values shared among all of us. Anthropology exists to study and explain how and why culture exists. Additionally, it helps to explain how humankind has created cultures which are so diverse and rich in tradition, and yet still somehow are strikingly…
