English Language in Discourse Oriented Pedagogy

Having the insight as a former student and a present educator, Linda Christensen wrote about her views on the way English is taught to students in her essay“Teaching Standard English: Whose Standard?” Christensen

    English teachers play an extremely important role in our country’s education system. The whole role of an English teacher is to teach students literature, how to write grammatically correct,

Placed students had higher grades because their course grade mean was higher and the standard deviation was lower than the continuing students. This means that the average distance to the mean was every 1.04 of each student making the gap longer than the average distance of placed students which was .62.

Male students are performing below other students in Math; the achievement gap between Male students and non-Male students is 8%. LEP students are performing below other students in Math; the achievement gap between LEP students and non-LEP students is 29%. FLEP students are performing better than non-FLEP students; the achievement gap between FLEP and non-FLEP is 22%

Each year, schools across the nation are seeing an increase in the amount of English language learners they are receiving. Teachers of all grade levels are finding it harder and harder to teach these ELLs because of lack of or little to no proper training. So the article, Setting the Foundation for Working with English Language Learners in the Secondary Classroom aims to show you the ideas and strategies that current and future teachers can incorporate into their daily class lessons to make them more effective in meeting the academic needs of ELLs and in helping them learn the target language.

Test scores show more comparisons but other measurements show how well the school is performing.

Standardized Tests offer a snapshot of the academic skills of a large sampling of students of the same grade

First, the author assumes that the difference in performance can be directly attributed to the difference in the amount of homework given. Perhaps the quality of the teachers in Marlee is better than that of the high schools in Sanlee. Or, it could be that the schools have different standards for their students. Is there standardized testing in Attra? Perhaps students in Sanlee are failing in other subjects, not science or math. How are they doing in these other classes? Without the answers to the questions, the author can not assume that the homework makes a difference in student success.

Research Question 4: Are the general education students’ language arts scores higher than C PASS students? Does a significant mean difference exist?

First, research confirms that the SIOP Model benefits English language leaders (ELLs). I believe an essential component to the success of the SIOP Model is the teacher-centered approach that clearly emphasizes what the students need to succeed academically. I compare the significance of the “teacher-centered practices” (Conlin & Daniel, 2015, p. 173) to parenting children. Oftentimes, parents say, “I know what’s best for you;” or “Do as I say.” With teachers acquiring knowledge and experience in the field of education, it seems rational for their actions to direct student learning, explaining why the

English is a very misunderstood field, in which people who pursue it are often criticized or ridiculed because many people do not understand its purpose or possibilities. However, how it is viewed from the outside is not the foremost issue. There is much dissatisfaction within the field itself due to many problems. In today’s society, English is done by educating students in the “proper” way of reading and writing, stifling creativity, and perpetuating an elitist system of study.

This essay will outline the recent history of national legislative changes affecting English-language teaching and identify the current operating policy and

English Language is traditionally viewed as a code made up of words and a series of rules that connect them together. Language learning here, involves only vocabulary learning, and the rules for constructing ‘proper’ sentences. In most schools in Meghalaya, grammar is being taught at a very early age and students are expected to understand complex idiomatic phrases at the secondary level. Linguistic terminologies, rules of grammar, complex vocabulary, proverbs and their meanings have to be learnt by heart for them to overcome their board examinations. Such a situation only confuses the learners at a
