From the first research question, we can conclude that, from what we gathered from the data, mastering English language is a key to teach in English school, (Clark and Paran, 2007). Language inefficiency or speaking English with accent can cause multi-faceted problems (Coughlan, 2013). The situation can be complicated if a teacher has other weakness(es). In fact, in such situation having other strong point like strong behaviour management could be decisive, especially if behaviour problems are common
the overarching influence of language in human culture. My Individually Designed Major in linguistics reflects this interest and prepares me for the application of linguistics in the field. Linguistics is the scientific study of human language. According to the Linguistics Society of America, such a study includes the structure of languages and the variance in language systems among other topics (Macaulay and Syrett). My core courses emphasize the history of language, its development, its perception
Did English achieve its world-wide status because of its linguistic features; in other words, because it is more logical, more expressive, simpler or perhaps has a more richer vocabulary than other languages? The answer to this question is no, English did not achieve its world- wide status because of such reasons, it was not the language that was the cause but more the people who spoke it, more accurately, discovered, conquered, traded, influenced and spread out their culture which their mother tongue
CHAPTER I. GENERAL INTRODUCTION 1.0. Introduction All over the world, language is a very important tool of communication. It is used in everyday life because of the need for communication options or expressing feelings. Successful communication must involve a speaker and a listener (interlocutor) who both understand the language being used. To make sure that a language is known, it implies proficiency in the four language skills: speaking, listening, writing and reading. According to Gary Rybold
populations for the reason that this language is the second most used worldwide meaning that more people are starting to use it as a base where in a near future this language will be required to be able to get a well-paid job. The student that will be following the course along with me is Chris Illán Gonzalez, he is an eleven-year-old boy that was born is the U.S. but brought to live in Mexico at the age of two. This caused that he couldn't develop English as his first language making room for Spanish to
paper, I argue if our modern-day society needs a global language such as English. English as a global language is necessary because it is more efficient, globalization, and most people already have some knowledge of English. English is of great importance in many places around the world, for this reason, it would be an excellent candidate to be the world’s lingua franca, or a global language. English is of importance to become our universal language, because with the globalized society we live in, communication
English plays a very significant role as a global language. Sung (2014) posited that English has now become a global language; it is increasingly used by speakers from different linguistic and cultural backgrounds for intercultural communication. English language has become the world’s most powerful global language. Friedman (2009) stated that the dominance of the United States of America in the 20th and 21st centuries have truly led to the spread of English language (Crystal, 2003) as the international
to travel, find a job, or find entertainment, the English language will most likely be somewhat involved. This comes as no surprise since English has been referred to as the unofficial language of globalization (Corrêa De Almeida). Globalization is attractive to many because, “it is the interaction and integration among the people, companies, and governments of different nations” (Globalization 101, 2016). With this in mind many seek to learn English to gain better job opportunities or to simply have
conversation, the English language has evolved tremendously. Users are accustomed to utilizing slang words and shortcuts to get their point across. In addition, autocorrect or spell check are not always on or available, so simple grammar mistakes can go unnoticed. These factors promote informal articulation and have led to the devaluation of formal speech. With technology continuing to progress and social media’s growing presence, the future of formal grammar in the English language is unclear despite
never thought I would incorporate these many languages in my life, but I am glad I have, for they are very applicable. No doubt, learning a language can take a lot of time and effort, but their benefits outweigh their disadvantages. Monolinguals, especially in the United States, should become fluent in another language because of increased global communication, business and career benefits, and cognitive improvement. First, knowing more than one language expands one’s global perspective and communication
