A2. Special factors and issues involved in identifying if a problem indicates a special education issue or normal language acquisition English Language Learners face a variety of unique challenges when compared to their non-ELL peers. For example, when assessing new English Language Learners, once such challenge is the lack of effective assessment tools. Many of the available instruments are not culturally relevant to the ELL student’s background, nor created at an appropriate level for their developing

Furthermore, all L2 learners acquire language differently and so using a variety of resources that are based on the ability of each student is neccesary. There are many theories that have been developed by highly qualified experts in the field of linguistics. However, I will address those areas that I agree with as I present my personal theories on second language acquisition. Description and Explanation of Personal SLA Theory Many second language acquisition theories have been developed over

are culturally Deaf routinely face many serious obstacles to obtaining mental health services (Mathos, et al., 2009). These barriers to appropriate mental health care can compound the isolating effect of having an auditory disability, being in a linguistic minority, and of having few persons with whom one can communicate. These problems combined with limited access to mental health services can lead to suboptimal functioning, increased substance abuse, and mortality from suicide and from non-suicide

V. Advantages of Task Based Teaching for the Marginalized Learners There is nothing like a single ‘Best Teaching Method’. However, empirical research over the years in various linguistic contexts have shown that TBLT is very effective for second language learners of any age and socio-economic background in acquiring language proficiency faster and more effectively. Although all second language learners stand to benefit from TBLT, the marginalized stand to reap the maximum benefits from this method

Data: Last weekend me and my friends went to Hillsboro to play laser tag. We walked off campus and from the very moment we got near the car it was expected that the guys would get first pick as to where they sat, because of how society places gender based norms upon us naturally we did not think twice as to ho this could have been a bad thing. We pile in and the car roars alive, we begin down the road and eventually come to a stoplight the driver(male 1) expresses a desire to race the car parked

Introduction – Language acquisition theory (TAKE OFF) Through the linguistic lenses, Stephen Kristen created an article based on second language acquisition theories on how humans develop an additional language and/or languages. Several hypotheses that exist on this topic, but one of them is relevant to how a second language is acquired. The Acquisition-Learning Hypothesis broadly emphasises two different languages can be acquired: 1) acquire the language, 2) learn the language (Krashen, p. 1). This

either by redintegration or language based accounts. Redintegration is the long-term knowledge of lexical forms of words that facilitate item reconstruction. Language based accounts suggest that STM is supported by temporary activation of long-term linguistic representations prior to recall. The present study examines phoneme-level errors to assess the predictions of the semantic binding hypothesis, which

How ELT has Helped Make English the Global Language Standardization of English Controversies It is not difficult to determine why English began its rise as the predominant language in the world. Britain, the progenitor of the language, once bragged that the "Sun never set on the British Empire." This is true in that the empire stretched to all areas of the globe, and the nation of England had influence beyond just its possessions. Because the conquerors spoke English, many of the citizens learned

researchers in realizing word strings better and better (O’keeffe et al, 2007). Crystal (2003) refers to Phraseology as the way for selecting words and phrases in order to use in a particular language or subject. Technically speaking, phraseology in linguistics is the study of fixed expressions such as lexical bundles, idioms, phrasal verbs, and all types of multi-word expressions (Granger &Meunier, 2008). Phraseology has received much attention over the past few decades and the pioneer of phraseological

For qualitative analysis we have used the method of stylistic analysis as proposed by Leech and Short (2007) in their book Style in Fiction: A Linguistic Introduction to English Fictional Prose.
