In this research, I’m going to focusing on the English as a language is being taught in many countries oversea today including Thailand. In fact, you’ll be surprising to know that English is required for many of the students in many countries. Unfortunately, it is not necessarily taught as well as it could be because of heavy teaching load, class sizes and adequate technology. Learning an English today still's has been challenging for many countries and specifically in Thailand. In Thailand, the student often gets too overwhelmed with English and mentally tune out in the classroom because English was their least favorite subjects. On the other hand, the students don’t have a resource at school or they don’t have it enough. Furthermore, many students just go to English class and switch back to Thai as soon as they out of school. English isn't used locally in Thailand. Although, there still a lot students continue care about English language because English has been the most ordinarily utilized language internationally and the language of traffic control and the majority of academic journals. It’s the most common language on the internet and the language that travelers use to communicate with different native speakers.

You can implement active participation for an activity with an individual by following these steps:

Every day, people make noise whether it be gibberish or intellectual thinking. It comes to many of us naturally and we use our voices all the time to communicate with others, to sing, to yell, and to ….. But many of us are left to ask, what is voice? Voice is a way to express yourself intellectually, make other minds think for themselves, and analyze the world around them causing change in society.

By “using active voice in” my writing means people would be able to understand what I am talking about quicker (Cardon, 2013). For example, I need to make it clear in my sentences to who is doing what (Hale, n.d.). For example, the homework is done; it should be I got my homework done. Another example, the ball was thrown; it should be he threw the ball (Hale, n.d.).

The first paper of the semester, the exploration paper, encouraged us to explore a piece of writing. This paper ultimately prepared us for the second assignment. To begin this task, I developed an idea about the true meaning and the purpose behind the story. In class, an important lesson taught me how to use active verbs throughout entire passages. This proved to be a struggle in my development of writing skills. I often found myself mixing passive verbs with active verbs, sometimes in the same sentence. Another useful lesson I learned included how to look at my story by Cisneros from an argumentative view instead of a personal view. As a result of these challenges, I learned how to become more aware when mixing these passive

Language is a cognitive function that most of us take for granted. It starts from early on, some say at conception, and it develops in complexity as we get older. It is an essential part of communication and without it its development would be greatly hindered. This natural process requires complex structures and reasoning, the bringing together of sounds and words to develop concrete ideas and thoughts. In this paper we will discuss the components of language and how it relates to cognitive processes.

Nowadays, the roles of English around the world have changed rapidly. English only served as the first or the second language of certain countries some years ago. Recently, English has a new role as a language which is used as a means of communication between people with different

In his career as a writer, Coelho has found an abundance of success: “Since the publication of his first work, The Pilgrimage, in 1987, he has sold 65 million books, making him the best-selling author in the world - above John Grisham, Tom Clancy and the seemingly unassailable J.K. Rowling”(Day). But for such a popular author, his books remain highly criticized, with almost always the same gripe from every critic: the simplicity of his style. Many cynics have dismissed his books “as "spiritual twaddle", "tosh," and "something David Hasselhoff might spout after a particularly taxing Baywatch rescue”(Day). The ironic thing about this is that Coelho’s simplicity is what allows for his writing to be successful in the first place. The simplicity allows for a wide variety of readers to connect at a greater level and at the same time put emphasis on the ideas themselves because there isn’t anything else to stand

With the development of living standard in society, studying aboard has become more and more popular. Not only because of English as the world language is an agent to connect countries, but also speaking English fluently will be beneficial for the future personal development. In order to study oversea smoothly, the first step is to go through the language--English. Generally speaking, English has been divided into two different types according to the purposes which are English for Academic Purpose (EAP) and General English (GE). It is obvious that EAP teaches the knowledge which will be suitable for a higher education whereas GE is mainly focus on daily communications. Therefore, the teaching style or perhaps teacher’s role in the class is also different. In this essay, the writer will illustrate two different classifications by Harmer and Scrivener, after compare and contrast the two the teacher’s role, the writer will select one of the classification and justify it. Finally, the chosen classification will be put into practice ( justifying with the radios provided).
