The Exploration Of The English Language

The benefits English language learners (ELLs) receive from Guided Reading are the same as all other students. However, when a modified approach is used ELLs benefit the most. Language learning opportunities gained by ELLs are those that native speakers acquire implicitly. Language and literacy learning opportunities including detailed vocabulary instruction, variables concerning second language (L2) text structure, such as semantics, syntax, and morphology are enhanced and enriched by modification. Some researchers have determined that ELLs are not generally ready for English reading instruction until they are intermediate stage of English language acquisition, while others advocate that reading and a second language are best acquired simultaneously (Avalos, Plasencia, Chavez, & Rascon, 2007, 319). In working with ELLs at

English 111 has made a positive impact on me as a student. I have learned a lot in English considering the short amount of time I have spent in the class. English has always been one of my strong points, but I have always looked to find ways to improve my English skills. During the class I learned several new techniques and skills to improve myself as a student. I am glad I had a smart professor to help guide me along the way.

In the article, “Aria: The memoir of a bilingual childhood” Richard Rodriquez explains the difficulty to learn English at a young age. He is building up skills that will help him speak fluently to the public. He began to lose the connection with his family from not speaking Spanish when they helped him to develop his English. From the essay, Rodriquez heard so many words in the public that it was a mystery to him. There were syllable words that he began to discover from people talking to him in the public. It shows the potential that he has to make an effort to understand the English from what he hear from another person communication. It brings him to develop the variation what he had learned Spanish to English. It also shows in the essay that he was more challenge to understand his parent accent in English to the public.

The students’ linguistic background is 100% Spanish speaking and most of them are considered linguistically proficient in their native language. Although most of them do not present any difficulty speaking conversational Spanish, some of them present some inconsistencies at the time to use academic language.

Pen᷈a-Brooks and Hegde (2015) interpret ethnocultural dialectical variations as the phonological characteristics, properties and rules of the linguistically diverse child’s primary language. When assessing bilingual children it is important to recognize the ethnocultural dialectical variation of the child’s primary language. Since different languages produce different sounds, differ in phonological patterns, and grammatical rules. Pen᷈a-Brooks and Hegde (2015) argue that for a bilingual child their secondary language would be influenced by the rules, and properties of their ethnocultural language. For example in a bilingual Spanish-English child, the American English will be influenced by the dialectical variations of Spanish. For instance

As per the 2013-14 Department of Education report, 43.3% of New York City students talk a dialect other than English at home. Before the end of grade school, most bilingual students don't have adjusted biliteracy. Moreover, their bilingualism could be portrayed as subtractive, or prompting the loss of the home dialect. With a specific end goal to bolster these percent of students a bilingual training project was framed. Half of all ELLs (English Language Learners) were conceived here in the United States. There are projects that can offer these students some assistance with succeeding in doing great in English and the home dialect when they get out into the world.

Everyone has a different interpretation of the word, “invention”. However the word is simply defined as; a new device, method of process developed from study and experimentation. An invention is just a mental fabrication; it’s a falsehood (Dictionary.com 2013).1 Although in the essays, “Why I write” by Joan Didion, “Life in a new Language” by Eva Hoffman, and “Basmati Rice: An Essay about Words” by Audrey Thomas, each author has their own view on the English language, how they each began inventing their own writing styles, and also their reasons for why they chose to become writers. These are the three things that make their definitions of invention very particular and their own.

English is the official language of many countries all over the world and is spoken more and more every day("How English Evolved Into a Modern Language."). Modern English is the product of the invasions of England over a long period of time("Where Did the English Language Come From?"). Throughout history English has influenced and been influenced by many different languages("A Brief History of the English Language."). Historically, English is divided into three periods: Old English or Anglo-Saxon, Middle English, and Modern English("What Are the Origins of the English Language").

The setting of the study was an Inter-American magnet school was one of the oldest dual immersion schools in the US. It populates about 640 students ranging from pre-k to 8th grade. There were 52 participants. 30 of them were heritage speakers and age they began learning English was :(9 of them by birth, 14 since preschool, 5 since kinder or first, 2 since 3rd or 4th grade) 17 knew Spanish as a second language and ages they began were (6 since preschool, 8 in kinder or first, 3 in 3rd or 4th grade) and 5 were late arrival in which all 5 arrived in US during 6th or 7th only two years before study. The measures were focused on dual immersion students overall written, reading, and oral abilities. Two measures were used to test students’ oral Spanish. One was the Spanish Language Assessment Scales-Oral, a standardized exam. It includes identifying vocabulary items displayed in ten drawings, a multiple choice listening comprehension section, and listening to a story and then retelling it while viewing picture prompts. Another way they were tested was by the Foreign Language Oral Skills Evaluation Matrix (FLOSEM), The FLOSEM assesses oral language proficiency in five domains:

The History of the English language video one, has left me confused, intrigued, and more passionate about where languages come from. The study of languages has always been a passion of mine, how other people across the global community and how there are similar words in each language has always had me thinking. The English language is a newer language compared to most however, in today's world it is one of the hardest and most known languages in the world.

Scholars have named English the world’s “most influential language,” due to the number of speakers (360 million) and the number of countries in which it is spoken (Nicole Martello). The United States, contrary to popular belief, does not have an official language. The U.S. Constitution did not set English or any other language as its official language. However, the United States should set English as its official language because it would not affect first amendment rights, it unifies American citizens, and saves tax payer money.

In communication, language becomes the primary way of delivering or sharing information.

Therefore, development my English cause to studying in the international program, interact with the English language, the last is adding an ability to myself.

English has a convoluted history, spanning many millennia and cultures throughout history. The English we all know and love today started its journey way back in the late Stone Ages. The people who spoke this early concept of English are known as the Neolithic or Indo-European people. These people lived in Eastern Europe and Central Asia sometime after 5,000BC, although different sources state anywhere between 3,000BC – 7,000BC.

The development of the rules of English grammar were given from the every written language. We always think about who has given impact or development of the grammar rules, and who has made them.
