Introduction

I Am an Arab student, and also an English teacher in my country, here in Saudi Arabia. I thought that it was important to chip in at a few talking shortcomings of KSA understudies. Along these lines, I chose to pick my friend Amjed Albalawi as my objective understudy. Amjed Albalawi is 22 years of age, and has a one year and four-month tyke. He has been in the United States- as resides at PA since August 2013, and learned at the Civil engineering in the University of widener. These days, he is occupied with the Civil engineering program in widener University. Overnight, Amjed Albalawi saw herself extremely keen on learning English, so he endeavored to meet that objective. In any case, feels that he needs to enhance his talking aptitude close to the next English abilities obviously, so He didn 't falter to permit me to work with some of his shortcomings, and right them.

    Phonics Mastery Survey

    Two examples of other informal reading assessments are the Phonics Mastery Survey and Phonemic Awareness Assessments. The Phonics Mastery Survey is an informal tool for assessing various phonics elements. This assessment measures a student’s ability to recognize consonant sounds, rhyming words, consonant digraphs, long vowel sounds, words with CVC patterns, consonant blends, variant vowel sounds, and syllables in words (DeVries 2011 p.112). A student’s ability to use knowledge of sound/letter correspondences to decode words, determines his or her ability to read individual words. Knowing the skills that the students possess will assist the teacher in selecting reading tasks that offer the most effective reinforcement of those phonics skills.…

    The reason I chose to weigh Seraphina’s Promise, chapter quiz 25/25 is because this assignment is based on the student’s ability to listen, comprehend, and answer questions pertaining to the text through a paper test. The book will be read orally, chorally, or listened to via audio and the students will work with a partner to answer the questions. Therefore, I feel that this style of assignment should be worth a smaller percentage of the student’s grade.…

    It has come to my knowledge that there is a limited amount of spots in the ENG 102 class for next semester. I am one of the best candidates to continue into ENG 102 and thrive in Ms. Laduca’s learning environment. Although I do not fear that I have not already earned my spot, I will proceed to justify my case. I have been an adroit student of Ms. LaDuca’s for the last year and a half; she knows exactly what kind of student I am. Since seventh grade, I have been an ebullient honors student in the top ten percent of the 2016 cohort and have not received any grades lower than an A. I always exceed expectations, put in 110% of my effort, and achieve and maintain excellent grades at the same time.…

    I have always enjoyed mathematics and physics since I could remember, It was after my first interview with an admission counselor that I fell in love with Harvey Mudd College, as guided by an unknown force and led by my intuition. As a follower of analytical and logical thinking, I always used concrete reasons to analyze my impulses and thus prove it as rational. After a long time of reflecting and school research, I came up with three reasons. First of all, Harvey Mudd is exceptionally good in mathematics, which is my major interest. I consider mathematics as one of my lifelong pursuits because it always excites me and brings me big surprises.…

    Teachers Knowledge and Perceptions of Phonemic Awareness and Phonics Instruction A well-known body of research concluded that the systematic and explicit phonics and phonemic awareness instructions improve early reading and spelling skills and prevent reading difficulties (NRP, 2000; Snow et al., 1998). Therefore, teachers’ knowledge and perceptions of these instructions affect the effectiveness of reading instructions. According to Mather, Bos, and Babur (2001), teachers were not knowledgeable enough about the concepts of English language structure (phonics terminology), even though the teachers had positive perceptions about explicit phonics instructions. For example, only 2% of pre-service and 19% of in-service teachers (293 pre-service and 131 in-service teachers) knew that box has four speech sounds.…

    Many children and adults at some point in their life require therapy from a speech language pathologist (SLP). Debra Edgar states that the 24th Annual Report to Congress on the Implementation of Individuals with Disabilities Education Act implies that “speech or language impairment was the most prevalent disability category” (par. 3). Speech or language impairment is becoming more frequent and the need for speech-language pathologists is growing. There are many concerns about the lack of speech-language pathologist and this all revolves around what people know about this type of therapy. The fact that communication disorders are “among the most common type of disabilities in the United States”, the knowledge people have of the profession needs…

    After School Tutoring

    • 581 Words

    The article that I chose to read was, The Effects of After-School Tutoring on an Individual ELS Student, written by Amanda Donahue (2002). The purpose of the action research project was to see if by participating in an After-School class with the teacher, the student would stay in school and inspire them to make progress in school. Since motivation is one of the main reasons ELLs drop from school, Ms, Donahue wanted to see if they had motivation and praise the students would increase their grades and performance, and essentially graduate from High School. I chose this article because it felt close to the issue that I am exploring in my action research project, the motivation for Long Term English students and see if I could implement it as…

    To start off I want to explain what brought me to this class. I have known that I wanted to work with individuals with exceptionalities since early high school, but I found a huge liking to the clinical side of things. I initially was looking at going into occupational therapy and my senior year in high school I shadowed a Speech Language Pathologist and absolutely fell in love. This is my second year at MSUM, but I am a junior credit-wise and have never thought about changing majors. I am also working on getting a minor in special education because it is something I love learning about and that knowledge will be extremely helpful in my future career as a Speech Pathologist.…

    Since the first day, time has been flying really fast. Starting a fresh new day, meeting the same teachers and same old friends, I still cannot imagine that I am now a senior! In my senior year, there will definitely be a lot of challenges and obstacles for me to conquer, but I believe that as long as I do everything step by step, I can beat down the difficulties in this senior year. When I was in junior year, I often heard last year’s seniors told me how hard is it to come up with a senior project topic, and they kept on reminding me to start thinking of my topic and finding my mentors. Luckily, I had research method class last year, so I knew how to do my APA style references and I had many presentations experiences last year.…
