Reflection and Summary of Call for the Change by Kathleen Schenck

The third key point is understanding the language. At the end of the article, the author was skeptical of ever learning French. When fall arrived, while in class the author was called out by the teacher and scolded. It was at that time when the author realized that he was able to understand what was being spoken in French. He then states, "understanding doesn't mean that you can suddenly speak the language. Far from it. It's a small step, nothing more, yet its rewards are intoxicating and deceptive." This key point supports my claim because it shows that learning a new language is not an

ELL continue to rise year after year. In EDUC 628, the class delved into the rise of ELL in America and how the best teaching methods to approach each learner with. Every ELL student is unique and has different learning process. Although the semester covered a wide variety of topics ranging from dialects to teaching methods, every module served its purpose in providing a framework for future ELL teachers. Learning about how to teach ELL was significant to me because when I first entered the school system in America, I was placed into ESL and I have gone through the process of many of these teaching methods. EDUC 628 main focus was preparing students whose goal in the future was to educate ELL. The articles and readings assigned in the class provided a funds of knowledge going into each new lesson. Coupled with the readings, hands on activities such as the mini lessons and designing lesson plans provided each student with experience that will reflect on their teaching abilities in the classroom. In my paper, I will be provided a step by step synthesis of what was learned and accomplished every week along with a brief summary of the readings. I will probe deeper into the modules and lessons that piqued my interest the most and that also challenge my mindset.

Within this paper we will take a brief look at the Language Acquisition Principles and how they work on the behalf of ELL students. We will see how these principles can be applied within our own learning environment. There is much information from Walqui article that gives a brief overview of ELL students and how things looked in the past for these students. Now that times has change we will see how educators can make the requirements for ELL students better and more effective for teacher and students. Hopefully, as we look at ways of changing learning for our ELL students we must remember that every student learns differently. Even if you follow the principles from

How I feel about the argument in the text of learning english is it would be hard to do daily tasks around the community. The argument thats been amplified to know is to speech the language is everything. A assumption about learning english is people want to study the language to have a better career to start a better life there are programs like ELS allowing immigrant and refuges to study english as their second language. However, ESL program takes time to learn and immigrant and refuges don’t have the time with the long hours of work to the busy schedules. A viewpoint about learning a new language would be very hard on me and the pressure of feeling like the outsider of a new country. The purpose for me to read about the language struggle

In addition, the audience’s attitude can be seen as diligent for individuals whose first language isn’t English, it can give them a sense of hope. For others whose first language is English, it might strike up a similar feeling but in a different

"Substantial evidence exists to support dual language (DL) education as a viable and enriching method of supporting high levels of academic achievement for both English language learners (ELLs) and English-speaking students.

Transhumanism is a “is a politically and emotionally charged word that scientists are referring to as the augmentation of the human condition through technology, primarily to enhance human intellectual, physical, and psychological capabilities” (Jiang, 2015). Technological advancements play an ever-increasing part in our lives, more so now than any other time in mankind 's history. With advances in the fields of engineering, science, robotics, and neuroscience, I believe we are on the precipice of great and drastic change. This could equally lead to an ethical and social meltdown in our society. I think this fundamentally is a wrong idea because it goes against Gods creation, and core human values. Per (Ćirković, 2016), “Bio conservatives have argued against bio enhancement, as they believe that it is aimed at intervening in what has been ordained by God or given to us by nature.”

These feedbacks encourage me to do different essays. I focus on vocabulary and pronunciation because the context is very important for my communication and learning. It is necessary a sequence of rules, but make part of the learning. Learning the second language is not easy. Many students have troubles to learn English, and it may be related with their own language. For example, the methods of the learning and the rules are totally different such as pronunciation, writing, and listening. However, some institute and organization insist saying that the methods are not the main problem. Also, they say that is necessary time and commitment. For example, students necessarily need to study full time and bring all activities ready for the classes. In conclusion, the scenario involves more than follow rules and orientations. Learning the second language is a big challenge that the students need to

Due to the economic recession, some public schools have to reduce the cost of the ESL programs. In order to reduce the cost, Chen reports “some schools and states have created mandatory full inclusion programs, where ESL students are immersed in a regular paced English class, with students who are fluent in English” (¶3). This full inclusion program can have disadvantages and advantages to ESL students and fluent students. If ESL students were in the full inclusion program, then they were “in an atmosphere for learning”, but a lot of parents and educators argued that this program is “ineffective” for both ESL and fluent students. If ESL students were in the class with fluent students, then the teacher had to slow down “the pace of instruction”, which would benefit ESL students but not the fluent students. So, it is important that ESL students are in an ESL program to learn the language, even though it might take years to learn the language. Because learning a language takes time, public schools need a good ESL

During the past five months, I have worked with a group of ELL’s that are both motivated to achieve academically and to learn English as a second language. Plus, as the daughter of immigrants and as an English Language Learner, I know first hand that we are capable of achieving high academic standards. Therefore, I never believed the myths mentioned about ELL’s not being capable to achieve high academic standards nor did I believe that they are not motivated to learn. I did, however, believed that the best way for ELLs to learn the language was through exposure.

Ensure the Third Sector has opportunities to influence policy and service improvements based upon evidence and information.

I did too enjoyed this class all the material was related to serve the ELL students.  In some of readings differents strategies were point out by content teachers to instruct the ELL students. In my personal opinion,  there should be more training in assisisting and supporting ELL students in learning English. This class has been provided it me with a great source of  knowledge to teach the ELL student in more effective and efficient way.

According to Esposito, reading in another language is interesting but also challenging because he did not know how to speak Spanish before. We are all studying a foreign language which is English and we are totally agree with his perspective. We have done that experience and we went through the same circumstances. In the beginning it is hard but then we become more enthusiastic about knowing more in English, we want to spend so much time in promoting ourselves to be better in English. We just feel that we want to be perfect in speaking, reading and writing the language that we are learning. Esposito also mentioned in his article that when he read in Spanish he took a break after an hour of his reading. That is also one of the challenging thing,

Acquiring and learning a second language do not refer only to handling oral communication skills. It is more than that; it takes the students´ abilities in enhancing their lexicon, their management in syntax, and their perspective about words´ influences in people. Thus, summing this up, it is indispensable that ESL students have a grand deal about linguistic knowledge. In other words, ESL learners not only require speaking, but also reading, writing and thinking in English when they complete whatever English career.

Bilingual” (qtd in Shi, Steen 63). The objective of the ESL students is to learn how to speak, read, and write in English and know about the system of the school too. That learning will help them with other courses in school. ESL students have come from all over the world in America to study. Statistically, the number of immigrants in the USA is growing quickly. This quote shows us that
