Academic Roles And Academic Leadership

In “I Won’t Hire People with Poor Grammar. Here’s Why” Kyle Wiens explains that Kyle wants to hire a people who have great grammar and he gives a reason why he said that. He regards grammar as an important part. His company which is iFixit is one the biggest online repair manual, that’s why employees need a good grammar to make the best manual. Kyle thinks good grammar makes a sense of successful business. In addition, his company thinks reliability is made through good grammar especially on the internet. Of course, writing and reading are less important than those who create manuals in their office. However, the company practice grammar test for all employees such as sales managers, staffs. This is because distinguishing the even small part

If the world was a piece of sheet music, I would be the time signature. I would be the source of consistency to bring an entire population of people become of one accord. I make a difference on my team and in my community by being the pulse of the environment I'm in. This impact is embodied in my love for building and teaching.

In this activity, each learner would receive the written task and an Article Machine (see Appendix 1) created from a model presented in Explaining English Grammar by George Yule. After a period of individual activity the students would be told to check in pairs by reading the text aloud to one another. Finally the exercise would be corrected as a class with the teacher nominating students to present their answers.

As being a member of the Associated Student Body, I have experienced many leadership roles. We aspire to create events in which our student body can be more involved in at our school and increase school spirit. What comes along with having a small school that does not follow traditional high school experiences, such as football games or big pep rallies, it becomes difficult to bring out student appreciation for our school. As a leader of ASB, my biggest obstacle is to create a school environment as close to the high school experience, in order to provide our students the opportunity to look back at their high school years as one of the most memorable years of their youth. This year, our biggest challenge was to put out the best Junior Ball

The University Writing Center (UWC) and the Academic Success Center (ASC) are two of the university initiatives that help students enrich their academic experience. While UWC assists students in improving their written and oral communication skills through one to one consulting sessions, online resources, and workshops, ASC works to enhance students’ intellectual performance through academic coaching, supplemental instruction, drop-in tutoring sessions, and peer mentoring. Both of the organizations take a collaborative learning approach to encourage students to develop necessary study skills for academic success and increase student retention. ASC offers various student development programs; however, our focus for this proposal will be on drop-in tutoring services offered by ASC.

The demand of involvement of grammar in the literacy curriculum has decreased exponentially over the years, as more and more technology has been released. This could be good for many people to use proper grammar without learning it, yet could impact lives negatively as well. In a survey showed by managers "75 percent said it was worse for an applicant to have a spelling or grammar error on his application than for him to show up late or... swear during an interview..."(Fogarty). Managers state that grammar

The study of leadership in higher education brings with it a multitude of concepts, theories, and topics to learn, and as a novice researcher, it is important to explore as many of these concepts as possible during your degree program in order to gain a better understanding of the magnitude the study of leadership in higher education covers. Throughout a doctoral program on leadership in higher education, candidates will encounter hundreds of scholarly articles and empirical studies that fall in the purview of postsecondary leadership. When reviewing these articles, it is important to analyze and synthesize each piece of research to determine the methodologies used by scholar-practitioners and identify best practices in educational

Within the collegiate setting there are a variety of interactions among professionals and students. These professionals are often in leadership positions within higher education. Posner (2004) explains, “Leadership development is now an integral part of the education program of college students, with courses and activities scattered throughout the co-curricular experience” (p. 443). Effective leadership at the university level is imperative to higher education with its recent characterization of being “amidst an identity crisis” (Smith and Hughey, p. 161). In the following sections I will outline the five fundamental leadership

“There are many instances, however, where reality and what we are taught do not correspond as to actual “correctness”, the actual acceptability, of what we are told to avoid”, states Hall (14). The liberal view is amoral because there is no standard for anyone using language and grammar. There is an attitude of nonchalance when analyzing what the linguist believes, therefore what is socially acceptable will work, for the linguist. Hall also states, “It is easy, on the one hand, to see that those who talk or advertise in this way and offer to cure our errors in pronunciation or grammar are simply appealing to our sense of insecurity with regard to our own speech.” The idea that linguists believe correct pronunciation and grammar usage being enforced affects one’s insecurity is amoral. The criticism of grammar and speech should encourage a person to use the correct rules and pronunciation which can lead to building confident speakers and writers. If linguist continue to find correcting affecting insecurities, individuals will never understand why preserving language is so

When I entered my current position in Associated Student Body (ASO), I entered with a vision and ideas for the school’s structure and methodologies. Up till then, our student government was a “one man show”. In order to change that, I recruited 3 judicial courts members, whom I guided on a daily basis, re-defined responsibilities and tasks throughout, and spearheaded the formulation of a new research methodology. The new methodology gave our ASO an edge over other colleges and universities, and established the organization as a brand name for quality service and commitment.

Without leadership, the simplest of things can be frustrating. John C. Maxwell, author of 21 Irrefutable Law of Leadership, once said, “A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.” Leadership is everywhere. Leadership can start from a plethora of places. From school, clubs, home, church. We can be leaders in everything we do. Leadership is not following the in-crowd. In education, leadership can sometimes be lacking. It is the principals, teachers, or sometimes the students themselves. Anyone can learn to be leaders. It is not going to be easy, but once we, as leaders, or teachers, get to where we are going, it is the most amazing thing ever. There are different laws of leadership to learn, but we are not going to name any of the laws. We are just going to learn the main ideas in all twenty-one laws. Each law can stand alone. If you apply the laws then people will follow you. If you do not apply the laws you will not be able to lead anyone. Once the laws are learned, practice them and apply the laws to your live as a teacher. For starts, we have to get a game plan.

The concept of power is an applicable leadership concept. Leaders use power to decipher whether they have the ability to acquire the commitment or obedience from their workers/officers. Leaders that are educated or trained under the old-paradigm, have low levels of expectations of others around them, and tend to use

This study investigated how both teachers and ESL students perceive written corrective feedback (WCF), focusing on their perception about the usefulness of different types and amount of WCF as well as their reasons for having such perceptions.

It is not uncommon to say that grammar instruction plays an important role in language teaching. Regarding the status and importance of grammar teaching, a variety of opinions have been made. Batstone (1994) states that “language without grammar would be chaotic: countless words without the indispensable guidelines for how they can be ordered and modified” (p. 4). More vividly, Wang (2010) makes two similes. She compares grammar to the frame of a house, which is a decisive factor to ensure the solidness of it. Additionally, she regards grammar as a walking stick, whose function is to help and support students to learn English. Thus, the nature of grammar instruction manifests its own significance as it helps students

The role of the EAP tutor transcends the limited framework of language teaching, to involve institutional awareness and a detailed knowledge of specialized discourse. An EAP tutor needs to research and assist students in understanding and constructing texts in their disciplines and to actively ‘engage with the disciplines’(Dudley-Evans and St John 1998).
