For many centuries, poetry has been at the center of communication and expression. Poetry has progressed, and styles have changed.

Activity 2 In order to carry out this task properly, I have analyzed the corresponding content of Yule’s book (Yule, 2010). Instructions: Answer the following discussion project from Yule’s The Study of Language: There is a principle of syntax called “structure dependency” that is often used to show that the rules of language structure depend on hierarchical organization and not on linear position. For example, someone trying to learn English might be tempted to think that questions of the type…

Cognitive psychology concerns both language and thought and has been well known just since the 1950s. From ancient Greek times, just philosophers and metaphysicians concentrated on the study of nature of language and thought. Language is an arrangement of symbols and guidelines that is sorted out progressively, from phonemes to morphemes to expressions and sentences that communicate meaning. In this essay I will try to analyse and reflect on my thoughts about the relationship, language and…

In the world of one-pagers, beat sheets, drafts and synopsis. Scene by scene breakdowns can get lost in the shuffle. Writers often forget about this process altogether, which is a huge mistake on their part. Scene by scene breakdowns are a writer’s trump card, as they benefit from this process in countless ways. Perhaps the most common reason for skipping the scene by scene breakdown process is simply because not everyone has a clear definition, or idea of what it actually is. The unfortunate…

IDEOLOGY In contrast, Street (1984) stated that an 'Ideological' model of literacy "accepts that literacy varies from situation to situation and it depends on the belief" (Barton, 1994: 25). This means that reading, writing are cultural practices, and are learned in specific cultural contexts (Baker & Street, 1991:2). In (Cabral, & Martin-Jones 2008). Ideological model argued that using literacy and numeracy cannot be generalized across cultures, and cannot be isolated or treated either as…

Cultural identity is usually inferred on the basis of one’s sense of the act and the stance meanings. Of course, although some acts and stances are closely associated with particular cultural identities, other acts and stances are resources for constructing a wide range of cultural identities. The action is represented by touching, reaching, manipulating, and transforming not only ways of knowing objects, but also fundamental conceptual dimensions of cultural objects (Ochs 1993). It is…

Basically, we are aware that there are two forms of language learning. The first type is second language learning and next is foreign language learning (FLL). Learners from English language speaking environment are categorized as English language learners (ELL) and theylearn English as a second language. In contrast, foreign language learning is when the language studied by the learners is not spoken in the native country of the learners. There are key differences which are relevant to teaching…
