What I Learned From English Class

of English class, I aspired that I was going to be a great writer. As Loren Eiseley says in her poem, “The Snout” “It began with a strangled gasping for air” (Eiseley). College English came at an unbelievable speed. The material I learned from high school didn’t match up to the information I was about to encounter. To me the class felt like a dream that I have to pass to move on into a better place. But, ever since the class, I have acquired knowledge and developed many new skills in English like

at IVCC, I was surprised when my counselor told me I had to take an English Lab. I did not understand why I needed to take an English Lab, or why in the first place it was required for me to take it. After debating why I needed to take it, I told myself I would take English Lab and pass it. During the first week of classes, I was introduced to my instructor Mrs. Bubb and was handed an English Resume to fill out. Little did I know at that time, I would be learning all that I have learned so far

and I felt rewarded already. English class has been of great experience to me, learning new skills that may help me in my future endeavors. I first expected to only learn basic English writing such as, improving structure and grammar, but from what I’m learning right now are much more.

their schoolwork in order to receive high grades. When I began attending Shasta College, I understood that because of my age I may be treated differently than the average student. I did not want to be given high grades, I wanted to earn them and to be proud of my success. As a result, I aspired to place a large emphasis on every assignment I received. I deserve an A grade in my English class due to my persistence, hard work, and regular class attendance. Persistence is a key component in order

English classes are fundamental to a child’s educational growth. My past English classes have developed me into the student and writer I am today. My most recent English class, however, has made the most substantial impact in my academic career.

Previous to my junior year in high school, my English classes spent minimal time writing papers where citing information

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

” These are the thoughts that had gone through my head as I entered into English IV in September 2016. English, in the past, hadn’t been my favorite course. Analyzing poems, reading Shakespeare, and interpreting an author’s style in a novel are not activities I partake in during my free time, so doing them in class for grades was quite the chore. That is until I traveled to London in November of 2016. On that trip, everything I had learned about British literature, as well as England as a country

I learned a lot about the English language acquisition of a non-native speaker. I learned that immigrants have many different experiences during their journey to the United States. I came to understand that there are different types of language learners, such as, a native English speaker who has English as the dominant language at home. An L2 learner, whose first language is other than English, and an ESL student. ESL learners are considered an L2 learner who needs classes to acquire the English

I can 't believe this class is almost over; summer went by fast. I am happy that I learned numerous concepts that have helped me improve my writing, such as grammar concepts, APA format, word choice, persuasive essays, and cause and effect essays.

The FANBOYS mnemonic device I learned in this class will help me remember coordinating conjunctions (For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So). We need to use a comma + a conjunction (and

Since the second year of graduate school in Wuhan University, I have been a TOEFL reading teacher in Wuhan English New Channel School. After more than 3 years’ teaching, I find that I still need to study further on education because I did not learn much professional knowledge about teaching and education during my bachelor’s and master’s programmes.
