Language Reflection Paper

Dual-language (DL) programs purpose is to create bilingual, and bicultural students without sacrificing these students’ accomplishments in school. The goals of (DL) programs are to offer quality instruction for language minority students and to provide instruction in a second language for English-speaking students. (Garcia, 2005) DL programs also target for biliteracy (the ability to read and write in two languages).

English Composition I has developed my style of writing and my skills analyzing and researching topics to write a piece about a topic. Throughout the course, I got better at analyzing articles and pieces to get the meaning of the topic. With that improved skill I was more able to use the information given from the text and install it into my essays, with proper citation if needed. Before taking the English Composition course, I was not one to organize my essays in an ordeal order to clearly state the point of the work. Now with taking the course, I have learned to organize my essays, examine research for a topic, and develop an essay with proper mechanics, and revising skills. In writing my personal, review, analytical, and cultural

When I originally was registering my class choices for the Fall 2016 semester, I considered English 111 to be an undemanding course that I could pass without a lot of effort on my behalf. I had no trouble passing prior English courses, years ago, so I felt this course would be similar. What I had not anticipated was how much I honestly could learn, such as: how you should properly cite sources, how you should suitably prove your thesis and how you can accurately set up the flow of a paper. Although, the most informative part of English 111, for me, has been absorbing all the information on the different styles of papers that can be written. I believe that recognizing the usefulness of distinctive varieties of papers will help me throughout

Language has changed tremendously over the years which can be seen by the dwindling use of sophisticated vocabulary due to the fact that vocabulary used by other people has an influence on what words other people tend to use. Also, a person with higher authority, like the current President of the United States, language can cause a whole country filled with three hundred million people to say exactly what that person with power is saying. This is due to the fact that the leader has tremendous support which in result causes people to want to be like him/her. This changes their use of vocabulary which can cause an epidemic. In the case of President Trump, his simplified and overstated language is a true example of why sophisticated vocabulary

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.

After figuring out what the “issue” was and what it surrounded. It put me in a place where I had to really pause and think about where to go with this issue my young person was facing. Which I then told her I understood where she was coming and I will try my best to workout the situation. For instance, I reframed her with the question on how would she feel if being heterosexual quote and quote was the wrong way of living and knowing that persons don’t accept her for who she is. I then gave her a few second to marinate the question which she took a while before responding with I understand, but the bible said it is wrongful for a person to be dating the same sex and that the right way to live was to date the person of the opposite sex and that her parents let her know it's wrong.I took a step back and reflected on how I use to think when I was younger and how my surrounding use to portray the LGBTQ community as something that was not the right style of living.

As one watches the first episode of season one; one could see Sheldon as an introvert. I saw the person as a guy that tends to want to keep certain aspects in his life the way it has been; never wanting someone new to intrude upon his daily life. It does seem however that Sheldon does give in to his roommate’s ideas from time to time for the sake of being a good person, but at the same time he gives his protest in his own way by giving some form of logic to any of his roommate’s ideas. It is fairly easy to see he voices his displeasure in participating on whichever he is asked to join with others, but in the form of logic he explains is unnecessarily long when in reality all he would need to say is no; Sheldon would often outright voice his thoughts in pointing out any flaws. No one in the cast seems to be angered by this at all, so I could assume that everyone just does not get annoyed much by him.

As language diversity in our country steadily increases, there is a clinical need for bilingual speech-language pathologists. Being bilingual and coming from a multicultural background I can personally relate to the struggles these populations face. Currently, misdiagnosis among bilinguals and culturally diverse populations diminish the quality of life experienced by this group. This can be attributed to inadequate diagnostic assessments. It is my firm belief that the amount of research needs to increase regarding diagnostic assessments in order to better serve these populations.

English has never been my strong suit. I always hated English simply, because I never concerned myself as a writer. I always stuck to the bare minimum and was pleased to know that I passed. I honestly never tried hard in English because I never felt good enough. I did not see myself as a confident writer and I am not sure I ever will. Since, being enrolled in English 201, it supplied some challenges that I was not ready for and felt unsuited for. Along the way, I learn some valuable lessons that I will utilize in my college career.

I'm writing this in the hopes that whomever it is that I should contact for help with scheduling may find it. I am not entirely sure if it is currently going to someone whom it may concern as the only counseling email listed is yours. If you are capable of assisting with this plight, please disregard this paragraph, otherwise I ask that you please forward it to whoever will best handle it.

Language arts will help me in many ways when I want to stand out in my career. It will first make an appearance when I go to apply to a job. It will better my chances of getting the job over others if I have good language arts skills. Someone who has good grammar, knows how to document things, and can write a resume will stand out over someone who does not have good grammar skills. Also, by being able to document things in a good writing manner, I will excel in the career I want to be in. As a physical therapist, you have to be able to document how your patient is doing, what their patient is doing, and make side notes so that the doctor can keep up with the patient even though they do not see them as often as you. When documenting you should

This paper will describe my learning experiences working with English Language Learners (ELL) who were in the first grade; the students’ age ranges were from 6 to 8 years old. The students attended an elementary school that provided a curriculum specifically to fit their learning needs; the school develops lessons from an English only model. Restrepo & Gray (2007) suggested that English only models allow ELL students to learn lessons only in English with teacher’s aids or paraprofessionals offering occasional support to them in their native language. During my learning experience, I will note that the classroom teacher selected various materials to demonstrate the learning activities to students. I will create lesson plans visible

Language arts skills has always been one of my favorite studies in school. By having good language art skills it lets people hear and know you know what you're talking about. Having language art skills will help me write in a way that will be legible and make sense. One way it will help me reach my career goal as a medical assistant is it will help me communicate with my future employer to make them aware that I have the education they are looking for. It will also help me with my note taking skills, that way I can study and learn what I need to know.

For my Language Perspective Essay in this class, I wrote about my perspective and experiences on language, referencing to Malcolm X and Christine Marin from the book. By connecting my experiences of improving my articulation with Malcolm X and my experiences of cultural identity and discrimination with Marin, I was able to prove that the power of language is evident based on its influence in culture, expression, and identity. After learning about the Toulmin model, arguments, and rhetorical appeals in class, I have become more knowledgeable of how to write an essay that clearly states my claim and supports it with sufficient evidence. If given the opportunity, I would change my previous essay to address my mediocre writing style, my lack of appeal and analysis, and general formatting.

It was 23rd april, 2016, When me and my family came to this country. In starting me and my family started living with my dad’s sister. In starting none of my family members knew anything about this country, but my aunt she has been in this country since past 30 years. The first thing that we did when we came was that we got me and my brother in school. After that my mom and dad got their driving permit, as driving and education is the first important to thing to live in this country. And we started facing somewhat difficulties in finding job as my parents did some college and at that time my parents did not know how to speak English but they still knew how to understand English.
