The definition of culture in the Cambridge English Dictionary is as follows, “The way of life of a particular people, especially shown in their ordinary behavior and habits, their attitudes toward each other, and their moral and religious beliefs.” So the fact that no society exists without the culture has made the learners to be motivated to learn about the culture as well as the language of the target language to achieve pragmatic competence in the target language. As an EFL instructor, I have…

at another location. The survey conducted on these two topics, attrition and migration, have not included demotivation, but they have mentioned other reasons for these two issues.

“Religion has no place in schools.” Discuss. I. Introduction The enduring debate on the ‘separation of education and religion’ appears to be a perpetual endeavour that is never-ending. This essay sets out to discuss the statement that ‘religion has no place in schools’ and argues that such a statement is theoretically naïve and practically unrealistic. Specifically, the relationship between education and religion is a matter of degree depending on a particular society, and it is hardly the…

Rationale: After the second learning experience, the mentor suggested me to practice how to make the transition runs better by telling the children to pack their toys up then sending them to wash their hands for having their lunch. Telling the children to help their friends to pack up the toys in the classroom is to remind the children to become aware of fairness. Reminding the children to keep quiet when they are on queue while others washing their hands is to help them engage the class rule.…

Research In kindergarten, my teacher asked the class to draw what we wanted to be when we was grown ups. Crayons danced across sheets of ­paper to illustrate our dream occupations. Our drawings were hung in the hallway for our parents to see at Back to School Night, when looking down the line and seeing pictures of ballerinas dancing, firefighters putting out a blaze of fire, and astronauts leaping across the moon. To all of us these careers were seen as typical dreams of five-year-olds. Later…

The education system must go far beyond what they set the standards to be and that is how we can improve the education system. For example, when Davidson was in intermediate school, it was required to recite a speech in order to graduate but she did not possess the skills for it. Her teacher, “[Miss Schmidt] offered [her] the opportunity to write an essay instead.” (Davidson…

One out of every five students drops out of high school throughout the nation. There was a time where this nation had some of the most intelligent students worldwide but over the years there has been a gradual decrease in actual knowledge. What is the cause of this somewhat absurd statistic and who is to blame? Have the teachers relied too heavily on the banking-system and oppressed the creative and critical thinking aspect of schooling, or are students at fault for their economic status and not…

It is an inspiring tale of a school teacher who, despite unadorned odds, strained to make learning fun. It establishes, what a teacher could do when a chance is given and a little help. In the early 1920 's, Gijubhai could sense the futility of textbook.
