Language education

by means of a specific pedagogical framework, using language touted as best practice in classroom education reveals, that such language is a persuasive tool that can empower or silence a teacher as a researcher.

Schools need to consider the community views, their amount of censoring, and student’s voice’s before using particular texts in curriculum and instruction.

about the connection between the current use of language and thinking. In the essay Frye says, “A student often leaves high school today without any sense of language as a structure” (148). I agree with this and there appears to be a rising generation of inarticulate and illiterate individuals in that do not make our future appear extremely bright.

In a certain way, the perpetrators did have compassion, and many of them…

discover the environment while language allows the child to be able to have meaningful social interactions.

Similar to the progression of a child with movement, a child learns language through their senses, making connections between what he hears, sees, smells, tastes, and touches.
