illusion that whoever can speak a language means he or she have acquired the language. He finally suggests that each second language learner has a different learning style and draws to the conclusion that highlights and embraces the cultural and linguistic diversity in the American education. Concerning the differences in second language acquisition between children and adults, McLaughlin proposes similar approaches to question the validity of the younger-is-better hypothesis and the idea that one

Humans are equipped physically and mentally to learn any language with equal ease. All human children go through same stages of language learning regardless of language they are learning. There is a close relationship between language and culture. Language reflects a way of thinking and culture’s interest and concerns are expressed and communicated by language.

Ronald Carter stated “Everyday language is full of verbal art, thus, literature and everyday language are not fully different, but there is some continuity between them.” Discussing the literary language and everyday linguistic creativity, one of which is of a higher niche, begs the question to what literary language actually is. Theories have been proposed to discuss and contemplate which illustrate its own idea of creativity in respect to the language and text it means

children of the mainstream communities secure an background of reading comprehension at a early age that allows for them to be “school-successful individuals” (Heath, 1982, p 54). The children are educated in “mainstream habits and values” of linguistics because their families have the resources to provide that for them. The community of Trackton is a working-class black community that places a high value on education; however, the children are “unsuccessful in school.” In Trackton, the adults do

denied from culturally and linguistically diverse students in the realm of education. The wealth of experiences they bring with them into the classroom are often checked at the door like a winter coat and forgotten by their teachers. When their linguistic skills are brought up in academic spaces they are often depicted in a deficit model and linked to the challenges said students may be experiencing in the classroom. Teaching for social justice works to provide a counter narrative for diverse student

Based on research findings, districts need to implement and developing ELD programs that have had proven success rates of making adequate yearly progress for ELLs. For years, psychologists and linguistic theorists have speculated on the acquisition of language and educators have studied these research findings to enhance their teaching pedagogy to accommodate their ELLs. Skinner’s Behaviorist Model proposes that individuals learn language by imitation

Some of the supports which I am going to incorporate into instruction and assessment are various types of manipulatives for mathematics, including counters, clocks, rulers, and calculators along with linguistic, visual and graphic supports. For science, I will make sure that students will have the opportunity to interact authentic and real-life supports, e.g. students will observe scientific phenomena, construct models, use manipulatives. I will also pre

Rhetoric, for Now and the Future Rhetoric can push users farther than the normal argument, and past the habits of the natural human mind. When one comes to understand the theory of words, argument and how opposition thinks, then can the situation fully be revolved for their favor and their future. Rhetoric is a valuable skill that should be taught in schools in order to assist in high school environments, and help prepare for a future in the workplace. As soon as high school begins, most students

concluded that not all information was confined to the hands during sign language communication. Researchers such as Baker and Padden and others have documented that ASL uses the face, head, body, mouth, cheeks, and eyes to convey specific and complex linguistic information. Baker and Padden (1978) distinguished the communication behaviors during the ASL discourse and developed five channels: (1) hands and arms, (2) head, (3) face, (4) eyes, and (5) total body posture (later, researchers would identify
