very good reader from my few interactions that I have had with him and based on his scores when given the different assessments. He is able to pronounce the words and read without much struggle and according to his grade level. There are those words, which he sometimes stumbles upon, just like a lot of us do so as well today, but they are words that may be too advanced for him or not in his day-to-day vocabulary. But, just like any other student his age, there are a few things in which he can…

Language has been around for many centuries in human history. Language is the basis for society as it gives human beings a tool to communicate their ideas and beliefs. The sheer effect of a word can implications from declaring a war to a way to profess one’s love; words can alter life. Language is developing social institutions because it provides different people the ability to comprehend the other group, which is crucial for any growth in a country. Without any way to express one’s ideas, one…

by looking at the different parts of the lexicon as well as linguistic examples. This essay will begin by attempting to define the mental lexicon and the words that are stored within it. It will then look at the different processing components believed to be apparent within the lexicon, before looking at different theories as to how we access words within the lexicon.

interfere with the learning, safety, or well-being of others. The teacher’s goal is for the children to learn how to write a correct sentence by Christmas. She uses a lot of gestures, direct instruction, she stops and explain difficult words while she talks, how words can have different meanings. Miss Krag said that her job is to teach formal English not the informal that they may learn in the street. Other accommodation that I noticed is that she asked 1st grader students to write small…

Why can’t we praise their intelligence and use it to improve our society? These questions are argued in Leonid Fridman’s “America Needs Its Nerds.” In order to do this, Fridman uses rhetorical strategies…

Cliché is a word or sentence which is overused. For example, back in sec., meaning I will be back in short period of the time. If we think about this example, would you rather use back in sec., in business conversation, or I will be back in short period of the time?
