The essay “Mother Tongue” written by Amy Tan tells readers that she had two different types of languages that she speaks. One is used for the public and the second used at home with her mother. During a large conference she was telling about a book she had written and was using Standard English. Suddenly she remembers that her mother was there and never heard Ms. Tan speak this way. When Ms. Tan was at home with her mother they spoke in the same way and fashion. Many times, in the writer’s…

structure located at 813 Baugh Avenue in East St. Louis. There are five classrooms on the first floor as there are two grades of students taught by one teacher. While one class is being taught the other is working on their assignments. On the second floor of the school, there is a spacious hall. In addition, the basement is used for society and club meetings. Mass usually starts the day at 8:00, but the actual school day begins at 9:10 and ends at 3:30. From 1915 through 1924, the five…

Spanish books in the classroom is a brilliant idea. ELL students are learning a second language, but that doesn’t mean that we are trying to eliminate their first language. This will show ELL students that educators not only care about their education, but want to involve their first language into the classroom as well. I think labeling items in Spanish also helps ELL students recognize the item in their language and the second language that they are learning. These items are every day tools…

It was at this time that Spanish changed for me because I was going to learn how to read, write and speak this language more fluently. It’s the first day of school and I’m already in my second class of the day which was Spanish level 1 and 2 for beginners. The class room is over its capacity because there are roughly about 10 students without seats so they have to sit on the floor. The first week of school was pretty simple in this class…

William Butler Yeats’ poem “The Second Coming,” provides the reader with the mental image of a dark and desolate world on the brink of collapsing. The first line of the poem gives the reader an image of something spiraling out of control. In this case, we can just simply assume it is slowly accumulating storm. As time passes, the storm grows in strength and begins to wreak havoc upon the earth. This storm could represent the United States’ current economic problems and that it is progressively…

Canadian primary and secondary school students who were studying French as a foreign language. According to Gardner (1985 b) “The linguistic goals focus on developing competence in the individual’s ability to read, write, speak and understand the second language, and there are many aspects available with which to assess these skills.

This led to no constitution being made in order to do this. The second implication is that the government is not accountable. An example of this is when someone robbed a bank and the police that arrested the person had to ask higher up people and it eventually landed up to the prime minister and he called his wife. This…

being a role model, having patience and kindness. Also to have stability for the kids, they need someone who is a stable person in their life. Students have impacted my life in so many different ways. For example with you, to know that I taught you in second grade and you want to become a teacher, that impacts my life greatly. I had a small part of your education, but I feel so gratified. When kids come back to me and they remember something that we did together, it impacts me a lot. I always…
