The Importance Of English Education In English

English has always been one of my favorite subjects because it allows me to use imagination and creativity while always learning something new. I constantly read and even participated in a small book club. I also began writing short stories in a journal and sharing them with others. I love being able to write whatever I may think of and turning it into something more. The passion I have for English has stuck with me for years and I have been trying to share it with others.

English has never been an easy subject for me. It is something that I've needed to work at constantly in order to achieve a grade that I am satisfied by or more likely, my parents are satisfied by. Throughout high school I have been a person who is naturally gifted in mathematics, physics and chemistry. These subjects are straightforward to me because I knew if I worked harder I would obtain a higher grade, but with English it always seemed that even if I put in more effort it wasn't a given that I’d see better results.

English is a hard language to learn, for there are numerous elements of effective usage and writing. Many people, including me, struggle in writing because of a lack of knowledge. Since middle school, English was not a strong suit of mine. I struggled with the simplest of tasks often taking a considerably longer time to complete a task than the other students. Unmotivated teachers and a lack of interest resulted in remedial writing skills. To put it simply, I had little confidence in my writing and I dreaded taking the class because of the writing involved. In spite of my fears, I took the course and I was able to perfect and challenge my mediocre writing skills.

Since the beginning of American history, there have been massive influxes of immigrants entering the country with similar desires and motivations. America is known for its vast amount of opportunities, privileges, and most importantly, freedom that it is able to grant to its people. This, along with many other reasons, is why immigrants choose to come to the United States. When these groups of immigrants arrive, they bring their own unique traditions, customs, and of course languages to this country. America is one of the few countries that has such a culturally diverse population and the U.S is heavily impacted by it. It is this diversity that makes America what it has become and, nevertheless, produces the problems that it faces, as well. English is a global language and is commonly used in America. This is why many would like America to adopt English as the official language. This issue has come up most recently in the House of Representatives. The English Language Unity Act of 2017 (also known as H.R 997) was introduced and was made with the intent of making English the official language of the U.S. As previously mentioned, we are a country filled with various languages and so we cannot build a barricade and require people to comply. Martha Jimenez, an attorney for the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund, says, it is a “tool of oppression”. An assertion that I stand by, because this bill endorses cultural assimilation, foreign speakers to lose touch with

First of all, it necessary to know the reasons why learning English is so important and how is it important for us. English is one of the worldwide languages that most parts of the world use it as their official language and use it for communication. In case of learning in the university, if we have good English skill then we will have more opportunity to learn in international program and study abroad. Next is in the daily life, English is all around from messages on our phone until notice in

I knew from the first day I started high school I had no desire to go to college. My main goal was to graduate high school even if that meant doing only the bare minimum. Which is exactly what I did. I didn't know how important an education was until after high school. Once graduating I enrolled into cosmetology school and even there my instructors advised me to get a degree, which I still was against. After receiving my cosmetology license I began working at a beauty supply store. I found myself knowing what I wanted to say but not knowing how to get it across without talking in ebonics when educating customers. We had a lot of Hispanic customers and only had one employee who spoke Spanish. On her off days I would find myself trying to translate as much as I could from what I could remember from high school Spanish classes. However I spoke Spanglish, a mixture of English and Spanish, which left me feeling embarrassed and frustrated that I couldn't communicate like I wanted to. This prompted me to go back to school for a degree in Spanish and work on my English skills. In her article, “Spanish Lesson,” Christine Marin writes about being raised in an English only household despite being Mexican-American and learning the power of her Spanish language and being bilingual. In the article, “Homemade Education,” Malcolm X describes being street articulate but not knowing how to express himself how he wanted to through letters. Malcolm X and Marin have both overcome learning

What inspires a man to forge his linguistic capabilities of his primary language from sub-rudimentary level, into an art form? Well, as I am only a singular individual, I cannot answer for the entirety of society, but I can give you a record of a period of my life that motivated me to attempt to excel at learning the English Language. So, what inspired me to learn the English Language better than what I knew beforehand? The answer is not as straight forward. I had many things that happened to me around the same time, the first event was my experiences in Speech and Debate. The Second was what I learned in English Class and History Class. Finally, was me learning military tactics, and philosophy. All of these events helped me to come to the conclusion that in order to be an excellent leader and be a persuasive speaker or writer, one must know the language of his subordinates, peers, and superiors, and be able to communicate effectively with them.

The place and importance of English is the whole educational system of India has been a subject of much heated debate and the heat has not yet subsided. It is alive and burning problem gripping the minds of all people, high and low, and it has been discussed threadbare, upside down and inside out, in parliament, public forums and the press. And yet we are no nearer a solution. Public opinion in different states and different language groups is pulling in different directions ‘each varying from the other all variants from the truth of realities.’ We have not achieved a consensus and enlightened opinion and hence solution has not yet crystallized.

I am interested in 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.

English Language Learners (ELL) are students who are learning English as a second language. These students are put into a regular classroom setting with no proper curriculum for ELL’s to learn English properly. Their ability to understand the language is minimum, reading levels are below their own grade level, writings are done incorrectly and their form of speech as well. The effects in not learning English properly prevents them from advancing in Math, English and other subjects. Besides this becoming an obstacle ELL’s also face scoring low in exams and assignments done poorly. If this issue prolongs being fixed into a proper way it’s long term effects will affect these students. The importance in separating ELL students into a separate classroom will increase their ability to advance faster in their academic needs. I do not think it is wrong for these students to be placed in a different classroom because doing this can improve their understanding in English.

Many Americans due to the fact that they have been in America they believe that the English language is easier to master than another language. Moreover, U.S college students believes that since they speak English frequently throughout the day they have mastered the English language. However, this may sound like common sense but it not true. Studies “from the U.S Department of Education shows that many high school seniors are graduating unable to read at grade level and one in four cannot read at even the most basic level” (abcnews.go.com). These studies completely refute the theory that mastering the skills of English is unnecessary. Malcolm X who “was one of the most articulate and powerful leaders of black America during the 1960s” even struggled with the English language (palomar.edu). In addition to that, he was born in America too. Evidence to the previous claim is in “Learning to Read,” where Malcom X said it himself saying, “Trying to write simple English, I not only wasn’t articulate, I wasn’t even functional.” Malcom X did not let that stop him. He performs some effective techniques in his pursuit of enhancement that college students emulate if they want to improve. Practicing, Reading, and learning new words are three effective techniques that college students should use to reach their mastery level of the English language.

Whilst it may be easy to think that language immersion is all about moving to a foreign country, the truth is that it is actually more about creating an environment around you.

In order to effectively teach English as a foreign language it is essential to understand not only the learners current ability level but also their desires and goals in learning a language. By combing these two aspects, an efficient and practical lesson plan can be designed. In this case the student is already highly proficient even fluent at times in English, and was determined to be around MM2D level (ITTO 388). Because he studies international business, he is learning English primarily as a potential occupational skill. Furthermore, because he is already proficient at casual speech and understanding, it makes most sense to focus on areas he has less experience with, in this case formal writing and occupational vocabulary as these skills will likely be essential for his future employment.

How do you learn how to speak English very fast? Is it possible to accelerate your English speaking ability? Is it possible to make massive improvements in only 2-3 months? The answer is yes. But of course, to make massive improvements requires massive intensity and effort. So, how can you do it? How can you improve super-fast? What do I recommend for this kind of goal?
