Why I Never Knew That Asians Who Have Been In English-Only Languages

Decent Essays
1. I never knew that spelling in English was hard because we learn to spell by the sound of the letters. In other languages, for example Chinese, their spelling system is represented by morphemes and syllables which is more accessible units than phonemes.
2. I never knew that it will take a non-English speaker seven to ten years to learn the language.
3. I never knew that Asians who have been in English-only classes would struggle with English proficiency at the universities. This seems to be because students, just like Asian Americans, haven’t received the correct instructions to master English language structures and patterns.

    (2015) write about four areas which are crucial to helping English Learners (ELs) avoid becoming lifelong English learners: access, climate, expectations, and language instruction. This article contained so much valuable information, but it really made me think about how deliberate educators need to be when teaching our students. It is easy to get caught up in just making sure that our students can “get through” the task at hand. Instruction, specifically for our ELs, needs to be intentional and thoughtfully implemented to help them to become English speakers. Teachers should utilize multimedia during instruction to help ELs access content (Echevarria et al., 2015).…

    Writing on the most basic level is more than just a string of symbols arranged for meaning. Chapter 2 of Rhetoric for Writing Teachers presents the working definition of writing as “a process of communication that uses a conventional graphic system to convey a message to a reader” (10). Understanding the dynamic interplay of the subject, message, reader, and writer is paramount to producing effective writing. Lindemann’s deconstruction of Roman Jakobson’s version of the communication diagram offers intriguing insight into the complex pathways of written communication, thus leading the writing teacher to a greater understanding of student writing difficulties. Students have often said, “Why do I have to take English?…

    other language structures such as phonology, syntax, semantics or pragmatics cannot be predicted at all. The third hypothesis expressed by Krashen is the ‘monitor hypothesis’, and it implies that consciously learned language could be used to monitor the natural output of speech when the following three conditions are met: the learner has enough time, the learner must focus on the form and not just on meaning, and the learner knows the speech rules (Krashen, 1981). Krashen (1981) explains that while these three conditions are necessary, they are not sufficient for monitoring to happen since the learner might not use the previously acquired knowledge. Ellis (2003) criticizes that Krashen sees monitoring mainly as a post learning process or tool…

So is the story of a young girl who immigrated with her family to the United States when she was just seven years old. In her essay “Hot Dogs and Wild Geese,” Firoozeh Dumas illustrates the challenges she and her family struggled with through her approach to anecdotal humor when they first moved to the United States from Iran.…

    Amy Tan a well-known English author, grew up experiencing language barriers. In her article “Mother Tongue”, Tan shows that English, like other languages is a form of expression and communication, and that “it can evoke an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, [and] a simple truth.” Language according to Tan, ties to one’s culture and identity. Tan’s dialect ties to her Chinese American heritage – the “broken” English that her and her mother spoke in private setting, is what shapes how Tan sees herself and the world around her. The way native English speakers treat Tan affects how she sees her mother.…
