As Zentella has studied within these three families, she finds an assortment of variation, even in individuals that come from the same family. The author argues that children coming from similar backstories range differently in their expertise in the language of their immigrated parents and the standard language of their residency. She concludes that because each family’s outlook on learning a second language and each individual’s preference challenges one another, one’s ability to learn a second language varies as well; there is no solid explanation as to why some people from the same background are more advanced in Spanish rather than English, and vice versa. Most people would not have taken into account of all the different contributions that this author describes, including gender, social preference, location, and personal beliefs. The common person would assume that acquiring a second language is possible for these families because they are surrounded by it, and that they would be able to maintain both their primary and secondary language. However, the author does analyze the contrasting opinion through observing the differences found in her study. She finds that the development of each person greatly varies to where each has different learning abilities and preferences. Where they live, whom they are in contact with, gender, and even their own personal behavior affects their unique growth. Since all have varying opinions, their decisions and values are placed accordingly to their own desire; in conclusion, these are all major factors in how people’s language skills

The assessment method that I chose was to ask the students questions about what they

Learning a new language seems to have only positive effects. However, for a Mexican American, accomplishing this goal brought him drawbacks in the interaction with his family. In his essay, ‘’Public and Private language,’’ Richard Rodriguez describes the difficulty in learning a new language and the sacrifice he makes to accomplish his goal. Richard Rodriguez shares the difficulty for older people, as they learn a new language; however, for younger generations is easier to learn a new language. Also, the new language creates a lack of communication for Richard Rodriguez.

[The formal and informal assessments in the learning segments provided direct evident throughout the learning segments as I was able to incorporate relevant and meaningful assessments with my students. In the first lesson, students will be assessed through an observation during the anticipatory activity. I will use a Smart Presentation in this lesson and have the students determine which items have the greatest/least quantity. I will collect the data using my clipboard. In learning experience 2, students will, again, be observed. I will use a checklist ensuring students are able to read quantities from left to right as well as being able to recognize the three key vocabulary terms for this unit –

The test consists of different forms that can be filled out. The parent form, which consists of 232 question items. A teacher form, which consists of 193 question items, and an adult form consisting of 236 questions. The questions are answered based on a 4 point Likert type rating scale. You will score 0 for items that are “not able”, 1 on items that are “never”, 2 on items that reflect “sometimes”, and 3 on items that reflect “always”. This test takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes and should be administered in an interview question/answer form. Pattison & Oakland (2008) explained that significant limitations in adaptive

Initially in this assignment, I intend to describe and evaluate two different assessment methods, which I use to assess the progress of my learners.

In Chickasaw County Mississippi, to the parents of Peter and Mahaley, Silas Abbott was born. Him and his family were owned by Ely and Maggie Abbott. Ely and Maggie had 3 girls and 2 boys who Silas loved as brothers. Silas was one of the 8 children on the property. None of the children were ever sold or given away. His mother was the only slave that was sold into the Abbott family. His mother cooked, washed, and ironed.

Silas’ parents and his uncle's family were given a home a 20 acres of land to run a gin. His job was to drive two mules while his brother also drove two and two more in between them. They were also to

Question: Explain the main types of assessments and explain how you conduct or could conduct an initial assessment of learners

Rigel was given a worksheet to complete from the teacher. On the worksheet was a capital B and a lower case b. Below the B’s were pictures of things that started with B.

himself during the activity. The second task required the child to use four or five word sentences. I asked the child to tell me what he wanted to do for his birthday. The child replied “I want to go to the phone store and I want to go to IHOP”. The child was able to use a fifteen word sentence. The child paused multiple times during his thought process in formulating his sentences. The third task evaluated the child usage of the past tense. I asked the child to tell me what he did yesterday. The child replied “I played the game; I played on a friend phone, watched a scary movie at night, and went to bed”. The child was able to use the past tense to describe his prior day. The child had continuous movements swaying side to side in his chair

Many second language acquisition theories have been developed over the years. These theories examine the avenues in which second language is acquired and the avenues in which they are

Individuals should have an easy time completing this assessment. The format should prevent any inaccuracy in responses. The questions are written at a sixth-grade level. This could cause a problem for some individuals who can’t

The notion of “critical period” closely connecting with “plasticity” for language acquisition is a period, somewhere in childhood or at puberty, after which leaning language becomes markdly more difficult. First proposed by Lenneberg in 1967, Critical Period Hypothesis predicts that “younger is bertter”, complete acquisition of speech can occur only before the end of neurological plasticity and speech acquired after this event will be acquired more slowly and will be less successful. He notes that the age at which persistent aaphasic symptoms result from left-hemisphere injury is approximately the same age,around puberty, at which “foreign accent” became likely in SLA. Researchers differ over when this eriod comes to an end. A particularly convincing study made by Johnson and Newport suggests that the period ends at about age 15. grammaticality judgment was tested in a large group of subjects who had immigrated to the United States at

1) Develop a chart (matrix) of 1000−1,250 words that compares and contrasts the different types of assessments, the characteristics of each, and for what situations each is best suited. It should address the following:
