English Language Test Sample

Being in this class gave me insight on the way that I learn. I’ve had my share of jobs along with schooling and various other learning experiences. Some good, some bad but I can honestly say that I never noticed the pattern on how I learn. Now I know I learn more by being more of a hands on person. Also utilizing my thinking and problem solving skills has helped with my growth. I also found it important to use my reflective observation too. Mostly combining different learning styles have helped me in life to understand the way I learn and the benefits that could come if I use my strengths to further my ambitions.

When it comes to teaching English Language Learners, math is often an under researched topic because it is thought to be a language of numbers (Janzen, 2008). A misconception that many educators share is that because math uses symbols it is not associated with language or culture (Bresser, Melanese &Sphar, 2009). Not all English Language Learners are the same, and often times ELLs enter a new classroom that requires proficiency on both mathematical and linguistic levels. ELLs come in with different levels of schooling, some come from a situation where they have been attending school regularly, so the transition is not as hard as it is for the students who really have not attended school on a regular

The article “English Only” Laws divide and Demean by Warren Blumenfeld states the author’s view against enacting a law making English the official language of the federal government. Mr. Blumenfeld’s premise in "English Only" is that the law is unnecessary and divisive in the United States. He is seeking a call to action in his home state of Iowa against the “English -only” law because he believes that it will negatively impact the beliefs that our nation is founded upon, rather than celebrate and promote our uniqueness as a nation of people from different cultures seeking the freedom to be individuals. He is an opponent of this law since he believes it has the potential to create prejudice and discrimination toward our citizens because

The English language, although used by almost all across the United Kingdom, has been mutated and altered in so many ways that sometimes we cannot even understand it ourselves.

1) Display and use cultural diverse equipment and resources within the service like choice of music to play and storybooks to read. 2) Avoid making assumptions or unintentionally creating labels as this will demonstrate to the children that discriminatory and bias comments are acceptable. It is likely to reflect badly on the children, to others and to the wider community . It will not only set a poor example to the children, but more crucially, it will engrave incorrect ways of speaking and behaving in society. 3) Make a conscious effort to use language that is not bias, will not divide students unnecessarily and is inclusive. For example, "Okay everyone..." is less likely to reinforce gender divisions than "Okay, boys and girls..." 4) ) Do not ignore discriminatory behaviour by making it clear that you will not tolerate any offensive, racial, ethnic, religions, sexual jokes, slurs or behaviours. Do not just avoid the problem as your silence may give the impression of tacit approval. However, if you are unable to respond immediately at the time that the incident occurred, instead respond as soon after as possible before the problem becomes

The pre-service teacher believes that Serge was not assessed adequately. The test was not valid for Serge and with invalid information you cannot place a child based on the results. The mother also claimed that Serge was very intelligent at home and she feels that Serge was just having difficulties picking up the language. Even though the school tried their best to assess Serge and place him correctly, the test was not accurate on Serge’s capabilities. Serge was found to have an average range of intelligence after he took a nonverbal test, but when he took the verbal test they found that he had a learning disability. We have to remember that second language learners often do not verbalize a reply. Second language learners go through a “silent” period where they will write

Overall, being able to compose an acceptable essay and fine tune my grammer are the most important goals I have this year, besides passing the AP English Language Test. Writing notes from a Powerpoint or collaborating in small groups is the ideal way for me to learn. In my opinion, discussions are only satisfying when everyone in class knows the material thoroughly. Also, this summer I studied SAT vocabulary which increased my ability to understand what I was reading and also apply those words in my conversations. You can support me by conducting vocabulary tests and timed writing assignments.

In an effort to gain useable and positive feedback from English language learners, teachers must use ongoing assessments. Whereas standardized tests only give information on students during a certain part of the year, ongoing assessments will allow teachers to monitor students’ progress throughout the year. Informal assessments are very beneficial in monitoring the progress of students. One type of informal assessment is the use of role playing. During role playing, students are given opportunities to speak in English dealing with different situations. This assessment will let the teacher observe how well the student is comprehends the scenarios and how they respond to them. This type of assessment is effective because it allows students to put the English language into use increasing their English

Similarly, Longenecker and Fink (2005) assert that the benefits derived from training are manifold, and these include; exposure to new and better practices and ideas for application, leads to reflection, self-appraisal and retrospection, motivates employees to improve performance, encourages career development planning, helps identify specific performance problems and challenges an employee to think differently, to name a few. Other benefits are a more flexible workforce, improved performance of existing employees, decreased supervision, higher skill levels and reduced learning time, thus reducing learning costs, improved organisation morale, and to ensure for succession (Molander 1989).

When analyzing the performance data from the employee surveys the Human Resources department provided, we found most employees are not happy coming to work on a daily basis. We further reviewed the data from the Workforce Administration team and found there was a major need for attendance incentives to reduce absenteeism. Furthermore, we reviewed the data provided by the root cause analysts and identified through the customer surveys that the customers were not happy with the overall service provided by the employees. Different people have different needs and learn at different speeds. The best approach to try and captivate everyone is giving the big picture in the beginning of the class. After giving the big picture, the trainees will get a play by play, broken down in segments on each piece that is being covered in the training environment. Going
