The berries can be lack of materials that can the put up in the classroom for visual aids. I have…

But when entered high school, I had to bury deep in a dream of becoming a doctor. When initially entered high school I decided to take English language education at state universities. The first semester of grade 10, I struggled to get any credit, and the result is not bad for starters early in high school. I think getting a good value it takes hard work, effort, and perseverance. I think the first start…

children learn best in their first language as a basis for bilingual and multilingual education. Studies indicate that six to eight years of education is necessary for the development of literacy and verbal proficiency required for secondary school academic achievement. Empirical evidence suggests that the ability of a child to learn a second language does not suffer if the primary language used for instruction in the entire primary school is the first language. The fluency in mother tongue lays…

years. A depressing cycle that can be broken by investing in education. Education in prisons is extremely effective for the prisoners and for the justice system. Jimmy Baca’s “Coming into Language” demonstrates the unjust American prison cycle perfectly through his personal stories and thoughts. Baca deeply values education and attempts to gain one during his time in prison. Through his stories readers see how even small amounts of education will drive people to want to learn more.

Second Language Pedagogy Speaking in a second language is regarded as important as the other skills; however, it has not received as much attention in the history of language learning. In the last two decades, speaking emerged as a distinct subdivision of learning, teaching and testing (Bygate, 2002). Historically, learning structural language, memorizing sentence patterns and literary language was prioritised over practicing spoken language (Rodgers & Richards, 2001). Structural language refers…

salsa and listening to music, my students dance the steps and sing the songs, participating in the action as they learn both the knowledge of Spanish language and the elements of the Latino culture. Through this type of active participation, students learn and form their own opinions and knowledge base. I define my approach to teaching the foreign language as rationalist, as I encourage critical thinking and desire among students to…

Subsequent work by the Nuffield Foundation in the 1970’s explored the effect of various classroom lay-outs on the quality of talk; but it was The Bullock Report (1975) which effectively gave official authorisation to oracy, capturing the importance of language in all its forms and its single minded response that ‘… by its very nature a lesson is a verbal encounter through which the teacher draws information from the class, elaborates and generalises it, and produces a synthesis’ (141).
