Preserving Endangered Languages As An Art Form The article “Why Do Language Die?” by Noah Tesch reminds me a conversation that I had with a Cherokee when I visited a Cherokee Preservation festival several years ago. When I asked if they are speaking their native languages, he told me that the government requires their younger generations to learn whatever are in their culture, including learning the Cherokee language, because their language is near extinction. Languages are not only a way to…

made fun of. I had a cousin, who had a speech sound disorder because her family would speak to her in both English and Spanish. So, when she attempted to speak, the words that would come out her mouth would be gibberish. No one knew what she was saying or even trying to say. People and even her own family would make fun of her because of her speech disorder. They would call her an alien, weirdo, and other names because of the way she talked. She needed speech therapy and after a couple of years,…

until the names of objects, as well as the names of actions are implanted into his or her long term memory. The better the attention span of the infant is, the better his or her language development will be.

know already, the class is based around giving speeches and learning to better project your ideas to a public audience. Whenever I am about to give a speech, I go back to the night of the Distinguished Young Women Program. I think about how well I did and how I felt when I won that award.

Also, sometimes different kinds of sounds were played when he stopped saying anything. His voices and…

Informative Speech Self-Assessment The Informative speech I presented in the class was my first experience of speechmaking on a nonscientific subject.

The speech I make was well-organized because It helped me effectively connect the main points, and supporting points I wished to shared with my audience.

When it comes to speaking in front of people, I get nervous. Whether there are a few people in the room or a huge auditorium full of people. It has been an obstacle for me throughout my life. From show and tell in 3rd grade to big projects in high school, I always became flustered. I’ve always been scared of not being good enough, until one day I decided to make some changes. During my Junior year of high school, I joined the Texas Association of Future Educators (TAFE). I enrolled in TAFE…

1. I believe there were some positive aspects of my speech. Firstly, I was not a nervous when speaking in front of the audience. This allowed me to have the speech flow smoother than last time. I was not expecting the audience to be as large as it was this time; but I think the increase of people might have helped easy some of my anxiety. My video seemed to be clear enough, the audio was not as good as I had hoped. I am proud I finally got the laptop to work with me and stayed relatively calm…
