At the end of our last observation we watched a parent interview. During this observation we picked back up on this interview with the parent about her three year old boy. One of the first questions picking back up on this interview was the boy’s diet. The first question asked if his reflux made him have a limited diet. However, the mom emphasized that he is particular about how the food is arranged, but he’s not particular about what kind of food is on his plate. Next, the clinician asked what…

By analysing the language used in ‘The Last Judgement’ I will endeavour to explore the pageant’s intended effect on the audience, looking specifically at the significance of place and the pageant’s structure. The York Corpus Christi play is structured so that within one day the audience are told the story of Christianity from the creation of the world to judgement day, which, if viewed from an Aristotelian perspective, could be seen as having a tragic plot structure (a fall from good to bad).…

throats out, and in a terrible voice Napoleon demanded whether any other animal had anything to confess.” (Orwell). Napoleon violently murdered the animals after they confessed. Orwell wrote this to criticism Stalin’s violent ruling, and the similar phonemes appeared today in North Korea too. According to the website Human Rights Watch, “Kim Jong-Un’s power is built on the continued abuses inflicted on the North Korean people because he sits at the helm of a central government apparatus that…

similarities and differences to compare and contrast them. Similar to a linguist, he examines the different myths and creation stories of different cultures and looks to find elements that are similar, what he calls ‘mythemes,’ a play on linguistic ‘phonemes.’ These are repeating ideas that are found in multiple different areas of the world, and are overall the same. In fact, language and myth are intertwined as “myths are language in [a] sense - systems of thought.” This idea of myths as a…

When I first saw the word Othering, I have no idea about what is that exactly means. So I used my dictionary to search this word, but there is no any result, I didn’t think that was even a word. Even though I knew I need to broaden my vocabulary as much as possible, so I asked my friend who is the native English speaker what does that means and got the definition from professor immediately. After that I finally know the meaning of the othering, is how those of a majority look or view those of…

During the earlier years of Korea, the Silla kingdom (668 – 918) had much influence of the Korean people and their culture; the Korean people adopted the religion of Buddhism and it became the centre of their spirituality as well as their politics. It was during the Koryo dynasty (918 – 1392) of Korea that Buddhist-inspired art and studies were growing and thriving in Korea, and it was near the end of the Koryo dynasty where they adopted a new philosophy known as Neo-Confucianism. The Korean…

disability include reading decoding, reading comprehension, or speed of reading. The dyslexic is helped to identity, recognise and correlate the sounds of alphabets (graphemes). He is also helped to build focus on decoding with abilities to blend sounds (Phonemes) into words (morphemes) and break words into component sounds. With time the child is taught to focus on the content of the reading material and not just on individual words. The tactic of guided oral reading provides feedback to the…

Developmental or Acquired Condition. The problem is a developmental condition. Geoff began stuttering around the age of 3 years old, which would come and go, with periods of fluency that lasted 2 months. Because of these fluency periods, Geoff’s parents believed it would go away with time and therefore wasn’t seen by an SLP until he was 13. It was then that he was diagnosed with severe stuttering. Geoff’s stuttering is classified as developmental because the onset occurred between ages 2-5, and…

When educating children who are deaf and hard of hearing, there are a plethora of practices and teaching strategies available to educators. While some of these practices are based primarily on anecdotal evidence, others, such as the practice of Reading-aloud, have a fairly strong research base to work with. Although reading a story aloud to children seems like a fairly simple task, it is actually an incredibly important tool for teaching learners who are deaf and hard of hearing. Literacy…

Emotion has a big impact on how well we are able to perform and learn. As students we don’t give enough emphasizes on the effect that emotion has on how well we can learn. Students often find themselves frustrated on the fact that they are unable to learn a certain subject, but they never stop to think why that is. In most situations it had to do with the attitude or maybe a negative emotion they might be feeling. According to David A. Sousa’s “Mind, Brain, Education,” we develop nonconsicious…
