touch and experience can have a lasting effect on us. For my controversy paper I will be discussing how infants develop their language or communication skills from the way their parents talk to them. While talking to a baby who may not be able to talk yet or does not even seem to be responding to you may seem silly. But it actually has a lasting effect on their language development. Even from when they are so small something as simple as talking to them can make a difference in their lives. Parents

The CCSS I have chosen to highlight in this unit are consistent and build upon each other throughout the unit. The content and language learning targets are driven by the CCSS and pull language and skills straight from the standards. The standards used in lesson 1,2 and 3 are CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RL.2.2, CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RL.2.3, CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RL.2.7, and CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RL.2.9 is used in lesson 2, and 3

teacher is at the center and dominates the session. Now learner-centered and active participation is preferred to traditional lecture method. The trend of learning language through computers allows this to the students. This is what we call “CALL” (Computer Assisted Language Learning). This paper addresses CALL and Text book Assisted Language Learning. I have taken this as TALL. In these two major terms CALL and TALL, I’ve taken the two major areas for comparison. They are i.

During the book Night by Elie Wiesel the author uses figurative language to communicate something to the reader or specify a detail.

denotation changes from one place to another or from one discourse to another. They are form words such as pronouns, articles and prepositions among others. Deixis is the most obvious way in which the relationship between language and context is reflected in the structure of languages themselves. The main examples of deictic expressions are: personal pronouns (especially first and second person pronouns), demonstratives, specific adverbs of place and time, and other grammatical and lexical features which

improving education, language acquisition, support learning, and it is a great way to access to information. In fact, nowadays students depend on their machine such as computers, laptops, mobile phone to study in the classroom or outside the class. In addition, they use the internet to communicate with teachers and to help them do research for information they need to do homework. Although, technology is a substantial part of teaching and languages learning, in some aspect of languages learning may not

Literature Review Nowadays, metaphor is considered as influential in our everyday life and its traces are not only evident in the language but also in thought and action.

Fromkin’s article “The Development of Language in Genie: A case of Language Acquisition Beyong the “Critical Period”” analyzed Genie’s case from five major aspects, which include linguistic comprehension, speech production and phonological development, sentence structure, cognitive development, and linguistic development in relation to normals. His analysis helps us to understand the language learning process and how the environment plays an important of language learning. After local authorities
