7.4.COMPETITION
Through analysing and assessing competition, it is decided to avoid, rather than attack. This will be done through the ‘Product differentiation and development’ approach. This will be done by developingthe existing product of English language and teaching it in a user friendly manner to second language learners making sessions interactive and interesting.
Through benchmarking all that was identified was normal English language centres while the few ESOL centres were not within the target market, therefore it is decided to implement a Blue Ocean Strategy (as mentioned previously) to be the only one of its kind in the area.

The only competitor identified is a tie up company with the British Council and targets only the lower end of the market. The competitive advantage ‘English WalkwayJ’. has over this competitor is the USPs it offers which is mentioned within.
My segment is niche markets of average to upper class parents, who have a requirement of helping their children to gain a globally recognised certificate. ‘Spending more study hours in the practical use of English to obtaining a better education at a higher price’ would be the focus of ‘English WalkwayJ’.

Many popular theories of second language acquisition have been analyzed throughout history. The socialization of L2 learners, their present emotional state that is present at time of acquisition, as well as the comprehensible input and output with the use of scaffolding play a major role in second language acquisition. Let us also not forget the importance of written expression as well as reading comprehension with these L2 learners. Each play a role in language development. However, I believe that in acquiring a language, one must use a variety of techniques that work together to create a balance within the learning environment. Furthermore, all L2 learners learn differently and so a variety of resources will need to be used based on the ability of each student. There are many theories that have been developed by highly qualified experts in the field on linguistics. However, I will address those areas that I agree with as I present my personal theories on second language acquisition.
Education serves as the greatest gateway to advancement and progress in our society. However, not all students are provided a fair opportunity to reach their full potential. To address this problem, I founded the Herndon STEM and ESOL Academy in 2014 with the hope of meeting the unaddressed needs of unaccompanied young immigrants from the 2014 American immigration crisis to the Washington DC metropolitan area. The program seeks to aid non-English speaking students in their quest to master English and to connect them to resources that can help them transition to life in the U.S. while still celebrating their culture. Our ultimate goal is for students to reach far beyond their original dreams, onto a greater future.
Many kids in school are wanting to learn a new language away from their native language but many students are wondering what language is going to help them the most in the future. English is the clear answer for these students that are wondering what new language to learn for a number of reasons. Through different articles through the book “Language: A Reader for Writers” it discusses how language is the most successful and most useful language to speak. College students who want to learn a second language, that have not learned English, should learn English because it is the most widely used language in the world and it is the most useful language to learn.
The Competition Model is based in the assumption that forms of natural language are created to communicate. Thus, second language learners are faced with the conflict between
Healthcare costs in the United States are on a continual rise with no relief on the horizon. As the population ages and lifestyles differ from one individual to the next, healthcare third party payers such as commercial insurance plans, employee health benefit plans, the Medicare program and state Medicaid programs are searching for strategies to lower the costs associated with providing healthcare benefits to their beneficiaries. Disease management programs are emerging as a way to help decrease the high cost of health care typically associated with chronic illness by coordinating care between the patient and their
Ford has five major competitors and they are General Motors Corporation (GMC), Toyota, Nissan, Chrysler and Honda. Below is a comparative market share graph based on the U.S automobile market between the years of 2012-2013.
The five forces is a framework created to help analyze the level of competition and their business strategy within an industry. An industry structure can drive competition and profitability. The structure of the five forces differs by industry. In the pharmaceutical market, powerful rivalry between dominant manufactures such as Johnson & Johnson, Novartis and Pfizer and the bargain power of hospital and pharmacies that places huge orders for pharmaceuticals are strong, while the threat of substitutes, threat of entry and the power of the supplier are more gentle or benevolent. Companies aware of the five forces help them understand the structure of its industry and establish a position that allows them to be more profitable.
America is characterized with excessive competition and innovation within its capital markets. This competition within industry groups provides a foundation for this innovation can occur and flourish. As firms become more profitable, competitors enter the market in attempt to steal market share and retain profits for themselves. This gives rise to competition between rival firms which results in new products and services for society. All parties theoretically show incur economic benefit. Companies make an adequate return on investment in the form of profits while society gains access to new and innovative products. Such is the nature of capitalism which is the backbone of American enterprise (The Buzz, 2011). The technology industry is no different in this regard. Competition has given rise to new and innovative solutions to many consumer needs. In fact, the technology sector has provided products society never deemed necessary until they were created (i.e. Apple's IPod). Motorola has been at the forefront of this innovation and has entered markets previously dominated by older more established companies. My aim with this document is to provide competitive insights in regards to Motorola.

English is one the most important and spoken languages around the world. This is present in many fields such as the economy, politics, entertainment, and others. For this reason, it was necessary to identify the benefit of learning a second language through the use of an interactive activity in one of the educative institutions of Tungurahua.
There are four very important language skills a teacher of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) needs to know, these are reading, writing, speaking and listening. Listening and reading are receptive skills; speaking and writing are productive skills. The British Council, on their website state, “The language skills of speaking, listening, writing and reading are often divided into sub-skills, which are specific behaviours that language users do to be effective in each of the skills.” However, the teacher will only focus on the four basic skills in this essay.
