Reflection text Entering an English course after practicing as a teacher for many years are both disturbing and exiting. Disturbing, because I challenge my own practice. How will it cope comparing to new theory and practice? Exiting, because I look forward to getting new inputs and knowledge, and to develop myself as a teacher. The result so far is approximately as I expected. In my first years of practice I spent much time to go through the text of the week, and to hear the pupils read aloud. Over
that my sister would tell me. Trends i see on my transcript are my english classes i took i get good grades. For me easiest classes for me are english. The hardest classes for me are math. My personal problems did not have any certain outcome on the trends of my transcript. I know if I put the time and effort into math it can be as easy how english is for me. My strengths are english and history. I feel that they are easy and because I do very well on them. My biggest
about reading and writing. Some activities I enjoy in english class include discussion days because I love sharing my opinion in addition to hearing what everyone else has to say about a certain relevant topic. Additionally, I enjoy analyzing poetry because I think that it is truly amazing and wildly interesting how everyone can interpret a single sentence differently, and I love hearing what others have to say. A strength I have in english class is reading, comprehending, and analyzing text. I
In my initial submission for Lesson 1, I recall being amused by the statement in the introduction of Navigating English Grammar that humans have always been fascinated by language. Then, and now, this still seems like an understatement to me. Language is an incredible facet to me and humans of all ages. To consider that an infant can communicate with few words and more gestures and then continue to develop the use of language as the number of words increase proves to be such an interesting phenomenon
The information covered this week was interesting and useful for me as an educator. The understanding of language development is highly critical for developing English among learners without any doubt. As an educator it is extremely important to be informed and familiar with the extensive process of learning proficient English for non-native students. The points that will be discussed in this synthesis are: Language Development, Biological development, technology in the classroom, and assessing
This essay will be about my reflection on this years English 4 class. This class has been helpful and has helped me improve on a bunch of stuff. Also I got to enjoy taking it with my friends and that made this year go by a lot faster. There are a bunch of things I have improved on starting with getting better on essays. I have done essays my whole high school year and every year it increases to get better and better and this year it did improve. Another thing I have gotten better with would be
decent level of English speaking skill from my home country, Singapore. Having said that, my English skills at that time were not entirely grammatically correct likewise I had limited vocabulary in my own “dictionary” which needed a lot of polishing when I first came to the country. Now that I have lived here for a few years, I had overcome my initial struggles with English especially, since English is the predominant language spoken here it is strongly recommended that Non-English Speakers should
Over the course of this semester, I have found myself becoming more and more appreciative of the English language. I admit that English class is neither my strongest nor my favorite subject, so when presented with the option of earning honors credit within my class, I took it on as a challenge and, halfway into the year, am very glad I did. Each assignment has forced me to evaluate the purpose of literature on a much higher level, a level which I likely would not have attained absent of the assignments
confidence that AP Upper-Mid English has been unlike any other English course that I have taken during my academic career. Put plainly, the material and in-class instruction of the class is revelatory in every sense of the term, and, overall, the organization and matter of the course was exceptional. In terms of the organization of the course as a whole, I believe that the English Department was able to successfully distill all of the dominant aspects of learning that an English class epitomizes into the
Speech. The English language has been hard for me to grasp. It still is today, in many ways. Of course, I have grown to love it and accept it, even indulge, in the challenge it presents. This did not come naturally, though. As a young child, I had a speech impediment. It was hard for me to make myself understood, even less so through my writing. Not only was it hard for me to write, but also to read. As a result, from the time I was four years old to the time I was nine years old, I worked with speech
