Describe The Differences Between English Language And Iraq

Learning English as a foreign language demands learning the four skills of the language which are reading, writing, listening and speaking. The four skills of language are divided into two groups: the productive skills (writing and speaking), and receptive skills (reading and listening). In this paper much attention will be paid mainly to one category of language skills and those are productive skills. In my experience as a teacher of English in Egypt, I have met many students who have some challenges with writing and speaking English. This essay will spot the most common challenges that my students faced and how they overcame these challenges.

In this research, I’m going to focusing on the English as a language is being taught in many countries oversea today including Thailand. In fact, you’ll be surprising to know that English is required for many of the students in many countries. Unfortunately, it is not necessarily taught as well as it could be because of heavy teaching load, class sizes and adequate technology. Learning an English today still's has been challenging for many countries and specifically in Thailand. In Thailand, the student often gets too overwhelmed with English and mentally tune out in the classroom because English was their least favorite subjects. On the other hand, the students don’t have a resource at school or they don’t have it enough. Furthermore, many students just go to English class and switch back to Thai as soon as they out of school. English isn't used locally in Thailand. Although, there still a lot students continue care about English language because English has been the most ordinarily utilized language internationally and the language of traffic control and the majority of academic journals. It’s the most common language on the internet and the language that travelers use to communicate with different native speakers.

As this research is a case study, the participants of the study were chosen from the students of the Department of Foreign Language Education (FLE) at Middle East Technical University (METU).FLE students at METU are generally graduated from teacher training high schools. In high school, they are usually taught English very well. However, the English lessons in high schools are commonly based on grammar and reading skills. Listening and especially speaking are the least important skills because of the fact that the university entrance exam is prepared to measure students’ grammar and reading skills. Unlikely, Department of FLE at METU aims to make its students fully qualified language teachers. For that purpose, its curriculum includes listening and speaking courses, as well as reading, writing, grammar and English

We decided to do our Middle East Project on the country of Iraq. Iraq is sort of triangle shaped, with mountains, desert, and a large river valley. It is bordered on the east by Iran, on the south by Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, on the west by Syria and Jordan, and on the north by Turkey. Iraq is almost 20 times the size of New Jersey. The geography of Iraq falls into four main regions; the desert west of the Euphrates river, Upper Mesopotamia between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, the northern highlands of Iraqi Kurdistan, and Lower Mesopotamia, which includes the plains that extend from Tikrit to the Persian Gulf. From earliest times Iraq was known as Mesopotamia, which means the land between the rivers, because such a large part of the country

Although this method began to lose its popularity in the late 1960s, Audiolingual method and materials continue to be used today. The Audiolingual method was adopted for teaching foreign languages in North American colleges. Dialogues and drills form the basis of audiolingual classroom practices. Dialogues provide the means of contexualizing key structures. Correct pronunciation, rhythm, intonation and stress are emphasized. The language may be presented orally first; written representations are withheld from learners in early stages. Drills and pattern practices are features of the Audiolingual Method. Below there are some common characteristics of different drills: (Brooks, 1964; Richards & Rodgers, 1999).

X-Marwan is currently fluent in four languages (Armenian,Turkish,English & Kolem), since he moved here at a young age he was able to pick up the english language very fast and hardly ever has a problem with miscommunication, nonetheless he tells me that there

These students may find it very difficult to participate in English tasks and will quickly tire when constantly having to converse in English.

Oral communication for English language learners can be easier than learning how to read and write. English language learner’s students might have a fear of speaking however it is the teacher’s responsibility to make the student’s feel comfortable in speaking the English language. When English language learners learn the English language then they will be able to communicate with people and in the classroom. In the article An Urgent Challenge: Enhancing Academic Speaking Opportunities for English Learners, it was mentioned that in order to engage English language learner students in a conversation, a teacher must have to model and clearly teach them how to engage in a conversation (Wilson, Fang, Rollins, & Valadez, 2016, P. 53). This is what

Iraq is located in the eastern portion of the Fertile Crescent. The Fertile Crescent is the region of the Middle East and North Africa that is considered more fertile than the other arid parts of the region. This area was significant to early civilization’s success. Iraq is the 58th largest country in the world. The geography of Iraq can be divided into four main regions. The regions are the desert in the west and southwest, the upland between the upper Tigris and Euphrates rivers, the highlands in the north and northeast, and the plain through which the Tigris and Euphrates flow. The Tigris-Euphrates river system has a large impact on Iraq and gives Iraq rich soil, which helps with agriculture. All four of these regions are very diverse.

Iraq is a beautiful country with many sites and plants. It has many kinds of natural beauties such as its wild oak, hawthorn and pine trees. Most of their trees are in the Zagros Mountains. Though many parts of their forests have been reduced to little bushes of little growth but they are working on reforestation. There are not many trees on ground level because of the little rainfall. Winter is the rainy season while summer is the dry season. This is why crops in the winter are not watered while crops in the summer are watered. The weather in winter is quite warm during the day but comes close to freezing at night. The general climate is semi-arid in the northern mountains. Though there is not much water and its mainland is desert there are a number of animals who have been able to adapt to this climate. Some animals who live in Iraq are the gazelle, antelope, cheetah, pig, hare, and hyena. Most of a few sea animals are in the Euphrates and Tigris rivers two of the biggest rivers in Iraq. Both rivers drain into the Persian Gulf. Iraq has many natural resources. Iraq has some of the largest petroleum reserves in the world and the also have large amounts of phosphate rock, sulfur, and natural

Firstly, student learning can be enhanced through language sharing. Students from culturally diverse classes are usually come from different places, for example, Europe, America and South Asia. Different countries have their own mother languages. For American, they speak English as their mother language and they can speak very fluently with the accurate American accent. Through classroom interaction, Hong Kong students can learn English more accurately with correct accent and

From the beginning of Iraq’s history, it has had numerous challenges, conflicts, and changes within its borders, which have aided in the evolution of its culture and have advanced it to where it stands today. Dating back to ancient times, the majority of Iraq was part of ancient Mesopotamia, which consisted of many diverse cultures that stays constant throughout history (). Its current economic hardships are rivaled by its once booming economy, driven by its oil production (). In the past century, Iraq has gone through three major political transformations (). These changes have brought forth a new and improved era for the Iraqi people, but not left without its confrontations. A once proud and strong Iraqi Army has had its difficulties and

Medical education in Iraq was one of the best educational systems in the region, especially during the 1980s. Following this golden period, the educational system suffered from regression and descent in both the academic curriculums that are taught and teaching techniques of both undergraduates and post graduates physicians. This was due to multiple factors including the wars, sectarian conflicts and financial sanctions which had a lasting effect on medical education and training. Today, medical education and training in Iraq face multiple challenges resulting from a lack of facilities, financial support, and doctors' migration due to violence and political unrest.1, 2 there are few articles published on the medical education in Iraq. The purpose

In recent years, the Iraqi nation has endured a crisis that will forever remain in the hearts and minds of the Middle Eastern culture. However, the outcomes of the War on Iraq will not change the long-lasting and passionate traditions and memories that have been held in the country for decades. One major event that happened in Iraq’s history is that on October 3, 1932 Iraq was established as an independent nation. Iraq has always been a country in which respect and generosity have been highly valued and play an important cultural role in everyday life. Additionally, approximately ninety-five percent of Iraqis are Muslim, and therefore Islam is the official religion of this nation (Gutierrez 1). Furthermore, Iraq is a

For the purpose of this assignment I chose Feruza, an Eritrean high school graduate. She was born and raised in Eritrea and came to live in Jeddah only five years ago. She studied English in an elementary school in Eritrea and continued studying it in an Eritrean International High School. She is not happy at all with what she has learnt during those years. She explained that during her elementary school years her teachers heavily focused on writing while neglecting speaking. When she continued her learning process here in Jeddah, her high school teachers focused only on speaking but not at the level she was expecting.
