The Language Of Language And Language

Language is very individual, not everyone will think the same, this is the same for children, from the moment we are born we are exposed to the world of language, this isn’t just verbally, we use written language also. Language is something we do in our everyday life’s, it is something we learn from the world we socialise in and in our culture, children will mimic those around them and, learn language themselves by interpreting the world around them. We use language every day to express our thoughts, feelings, create and maintain social relationships. “All language written, spoken and visual-arises from cultural and social contexts and is understood by people in terms of their social and cultural backgrounds” (Campbell, R & Green, D. (2006). pg 2). This is where children in classrooms are influenced by social and culture backgrounds. How children learn in the classroom will depend greatly on their exposures they have had in life, does their culture practice of language and literacy compliment or conflict the practices that is expected at school. There is no right or wrong answer, it is very much expected that not all children will practice at home what is expected at schools, This is why as teachers, we need to be aware that not all children are the same, as we are not, they may use language differently , so “ Teachers are therefore faced with the task of observing children, locating their interests and needs as well as their uses of language” (Campbell, R & Green, D. (2006). Pg 6). Children want to feel they are in an insider regardless of their past learning, all schools should be able to assist children transition into learning at school. When it comes to teaching literacy and language, “All children are from differing language and cultural backgrounds, children with

Across the globe, the primary universal language that is accepted in English. To communicate effectively and interact in corporate and industrial environment at international level, an effective hold of language is must especially from students in colleges as they represent the future. But, there are very few countries in the world which have English as their first language. Therefore a level of difficulty arises for non-native speakers of English to adjust in the international standards of the language. Also, countries which do not have English as their first language struggle with the accent and dialect of their individuals where culture becomes an important factor in the use of Universal language English especially with use of slang words. This is an era of modernization and social media, internet communication plays an important role in exposure to the western culture in other countries of the world.

The reader disagrees with Rodriguez’s idea that other languages besides the primary language of a society cannot be used in the classroom. Rodriguez says that “it is not possible

Many kids in school are wanting to learn a new language away from their native language but many students are wondering what language is going to help them the most in the future. English is the clear answer for these students that are wondering what new language to learn for a number of reasons. Through different articles through the book “Language: A Reader for Writers” it discusses how language is the most successful and most useful language to speak. College students who want to learn a second language, that have not learned English, should learn English because it is the most widely used language in the world and it is the most useful language to learn.

What is the meaning of language? How big the role of language in your life? Have you ever realize the impact of language in your life? In my opinion, language is not as simple as people seen in general. Usually the way people see language just as a tool for communicating with others. For me, behind the general usage of language, it also has a big role in our life because a language has the power to stand and show each person’s identity. Inside the Gloria Anzaldua’s essay “How To Tame A Wild Tongue” and Amy Tan’s essay “Mother Tongue” claim that language is an identity. Because they show that language which they commonly use to communicate since the day they were born, showing who are they really are. Language as identity is very arguing phrases, it can be approach from a different perspective. This thing is exactly what are both of these essays are trying to do by approaching differently and using a different tone. Their life and experience give an impact to the way they interpret that language is an identity, and it also seen in each of their essays.

As a result, the language differences of these students are erroneously classified as speech impediments or learning disabilities. LeMoine states, “rather than throw away their faculty methods, teachers [tend] to throw away their students with language differences” (LeMoine, 1999, p. 67).

Have you ever experienced what it feels like to be bullied for your differences? I was in the 5th grade when I first encountered what it meant to be ridiculed for the way you speak. There was a time when my classmates made fun of another boy for the way he was speaking English. The boy was very quiet and only spoke to his cousin during class. The only language he was comfortable speaking was Chinese. My classmates at the time were taking turns recreating what they thought his language sounded like. Every so cruelly they mocked him in a way that was extremely racist; they were bullying him. I specifically remember one girl telling him, “Does your language sound like, ching chong, chong?”, she proceeded to laugh while she asked him. I never stuck up for him when I heard this, and I feel ashamed till this day that I didn’t speak up for him. Language shaming can come from anyone, and it takes many forms. In “Coming to Language” by Jimmy Santiago Baca, the passage gives us a personal experience, he has with language shaming from a teacher and how it affected his life and his journey of finding freedom through writing. In addition we see, another example of language shaming in “Living with Dyslexia” by Gareth Cook where he talks about his learning disorder and how it altered his relationship with teachers and his life. There is great similarity between Baca, Cooks and I’s encounter with teachers and language shaming. Since I’ve been in college, I have had three professors tell me

A baby is programmed to learn language-any language-but he isn't any more equipped to learn your language than he is to learn Portuguese. If he were adopted by a family in Portugal, he would learn Portuguese and not the English he will learn from you.

This source addresses multiple questions regarding the writing center working with “language 2” students, such as if they should use the same methods with language 2 students that they use with English speaking students that have a lot of issues with writing. It explains that not all language 2 students have the same issues with writing and that each student has a unique situation that should be treated with care and attention. Their overall goal is to see what happens when language 2 writers and tutor work together when the proper training is involved. This source helps expand my research by providing more questions and solutions to the common issues between tutors and “language 2” writers. It gives both the tutor and writers perspective and

For my sixth paper, I would like to talk about the “I” language. This language is a part of the language of responsibility. It takes an, “It” statement to an, “I” statement, making arguments or fights less possible. One example I have of this is from a situation I had at work with coworker.

A language is really a powerful tool in the world today and it’s ability to give power to people to dominate others was seen in different essays .Its influence can be witnessed in Bosmajian book ’The Language of Expression” where the essay shares the value of a human to have a name because humans  are defined by their name.However, a name can be a curse or a blessing. Language can be used in the degradation of human beings which can lead to loss of self -belief and devaluation of an individual a most recognizable place where this event occurred was between the Nazis and the Jewish society.The Nazis were successful to oppress the Jews through renaming the Jews as  “bacilli” , “parasites” , “disease”, “demon”, “plague”. because of the the way the Nazis presented the Jews, most people began to believe them, and this leads to the condemnation.People believed the best solution was to exterminate the Jews from the world entirely.

You Language and I Language grabbed my attention. What fascinates me is that YOU is reactive, and I is responsible.  I am guilty of having fallen prey to both.

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.
