Anticipated problems and solutions
Problem: Eventually is a false friend with the Spanish word “eventualmente” (de forma incierta) which in
English should be translated as by chance, occasionally.
Solution: Use CCQs to explain difference. Request examples using both expressions from students and ask them to think and explain difference in meaning.
Problem: Incorrect word order, students place eventually after a verb and before a direct object i.e. She found eventually the lost dog. This word order would be correct in Spanish: Encontró finalmente el perro que habia perdido.
Solution: Ask the students for sentences with eventually and, on the board, write different combinations of the same sentence, given by the students, by changing the position of the adverb. Mark the
Tattoos have recently become increasingly popular in youth, due to the hidden meanings and symbolism that they are endowed with. Helen Day’s opinionative blog entry, The Power of Ink, asserts that the significance of tattoos have diminished due to the fashionable aesthetics that tattoos project. A highly casual, yet acknowledging tone characterises her blog entry, which is predominantly catered to young Australian readers who are interested in receiving a tattoo. Accompanying her blog entry is a number of comments which both support and criticise the new phenomenon of tattoos. Poignantly complementing her article is an image of Ta Mako tattoos, a Maori form of body art, and the front cover of the written work “No tattoos before you’re
In most literature, syntax takes a standard form that most can recognize. Despite this standard form, the author still has a great deal of leeway in developing sentences to create moods and convey thoughts. The author may choose longer sentences or shorter sentences. He or she may use larger words that flow or shorter words that help break up the passage. The possibilities are virtually endless.

While some individuals struggle to speak English, there are others who go through daily challenges of language discrimination that not only affect their identity but their perspective on the language itself. The texts each demonstrate the treatment one receives when they are seen as not intelligible enough to speak English ‘properly’.
The provided information in the classrooms and lectures always have small incorrectness and mistakes. Speakers need to be careful about their information but it is inevitable to make mistakes.
7:10, she had exactly ten minutes to eat, before cleaning up at 7:21 and leaving at 7:25. Locking the door she headed out, gleaming at her watch seeing that she was on time. Being on time wasn’t a surprise to her, since she left the apartment everyday at the same time, and then came back at the same time.

My language is just that, mine. In certain settings and company, it may not be the best way to speak and that is why I incorporate code-meshing and code switching in my everyday tongue. The language I use on a daily basis, in a comfortable, setting reveals a lot about me. My language could tell you where I’m from, about my family, what kind of household I grew up in, how structured my school system was, it tells you about my friends, the crowd I keep, the things I like to spend my time doing, and so on. In my opinion, I believe my language mainly reveals the structure my single mother provided for us while growing up in my area, my love and care for my family and friends, and as well my intelligence and respect for myself.
Next, the students will look at the last sheet of their packet to help them create a concluding sentence for their conclusion paragraph.
Researchers, such as Corder (1967) define the word ‘error’ when people do not follow grammatical rules or structures. At the basis of the accuracy-fluency controversy is the question of error. Once thought to be deviant behavior, error is now seen as a neutral phenomenon in learning of all kinds; learning to ice skate, to type, to analyze literature, to speak a first or second language. Of course, errors in written language can be due to intonation, memory lapse, or indifference and in an in-class writing situation, NES (Native English Speaker) as well as EFL (English as a First Language) students will make hasty performances errors. Generally, EFL errors are neither random, nor sporadic or deviant, instead they are systematic, regular and

Problem: Students still are confused with the context. Why is there a question at the end?
Clauses are groups of words which express an idea and contain a predicate (i.e., a conjugated verb) and a subject, although of course in Spanish the subject is often merely indicated by the verb ending. They can be divided into two categories: independent clauses (which make sense in and of themselves) and dependent clauses (which need to be used with an independent clause to form a complete sentece). In general, the the indicative, the conditional, and the imperative (command forms) are used in independent clauses; some exceptions will be given in section I below. The subjunctive mood is found primarily in dependent clauses, but of course the other moods can occur there as well,
Wh-movement is a mechanism that helps express a question. With a wh-word in a sentence one should expect to see a particular word arrangement. Wh-movement is referred to as this term because most inquisitorial words start with ‘wh’. It is found in a variety of languages all over the world, however in Languages such as Chinese, wh-movement does not have to take place, whereas wh-movement is optional in French. It is recognized as being one of the most widely accepted discontinuity types, with the other three being; Extraposition, Scrambling and Topicalization. As wh-movement naturally results in a discontinuity, thus the moved constituent ends up in a situation that is detached from its
6. Conversation employs a vernacular range of expressions It usually takes place in an informal context. That is why contractions, double negation, and use of extended forms stated as incorrect by the prescriptive grammarians can be found. Also in this group would be included regional dialects.
