English Research Proposals Samples For Students

The topic of my experimental study is “Pragmatics of the English fiction and the pragmatics problems of its translation”. The relevance of the study is determined by the need to better identify and comprehensively study the pragmatics of the artistic text and pragmatic problems of its translation. Pragmatic approach to the study of language phenomena contributes to the disclosure of the communicative purpose of a linguistic unit, its use as an instrument of the addressee action, influence and interaction, its correlation with the behavior and activities of the sender.
The language of fiction is a special system of signs, common ...

English as a Second Language

The influence of Arabic as a language is profound on many languages especially the influence on vocabulary. Indeed, many languages derive their vocabulary from Arabic in spite of the fact that the latter is largely used in Islamic countries.
1.2 billion Muslims worldwide employ the use of Arabic language in religious citations and prayers (Carter & MnCarthy, 2009).

Background of the Study

Teaching English, as a foreign language, to native Muslims or Arabic speaking country nationals may invoke questions that could be ordinary to ask for other languages as taught in the classroom. Such questions are spread in language literature and include personal questions like: ...

Teaching strategies for ESL students in the Mainstream High School English Classroom

Introduction
The rise of the English language as a basic communication skill needed in the corporate world has become one of the reasons why non-native English speakers find it of utmost importance and therefore, would enroll in English language courses.
The TESL First Annual Panel in Ontario (2007) published that at least in Ontario, Canada, teaching ESL or English as a Second Language dated back to post-World War II when a great number of immigrant soldiers were included. Hence, the rise for the need of a language program for newcomers was administered by the Ministry of Education. One and a half decade ...

According to One World Nations Online, Spanish, next to English, is one of the most widely spoken languages in the United States as well as in the world. Including second language speakers, there are currently more than four hundred million people who speak Spanish. When we say ‘Spanish’, one of the attributes we can connect to it is the notion of romance or of love. Love, however, is about communicating and the primary tool of communication is language. It makes sense therefore to conclude that ...

Education in the United States has forever been in the limelight for varying reasons. The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (No Child Left Behind), which was made a federal law by the then President, George W. Bush, in 2002; Children with Learning Disabilities; Technology-Assisted Learning, English for Foreign Learners; and Role of Parents in Education, to name a few, has been making headlines in the education sector for a number of years. The number of children leaving school education is growing alarmingly because of their inability to learn, or for personal reasons. It is for this reason that I have taken a special ...

Should English be made the official language of the USA?

An official language of a nation/state/any other jurisdiction is a language that has been given a special legal status, and is generally used by the government in all courts, parliament, administration etc. in that area (“Official language” – Wikipedia, 2013). The question of whether or not English should be made the official language of the United States of America has been debated upon since 1780. In fact, an amendment to the Constitution is proposed in almost every meeting of Congress, asking for English to be made the official language of the country (“Languages of the United States” – Wikipedia, 2013). This thesis presents the ...

The Effectiveness of Implementing Blogs in Reading Classroom for Adult English Learners

Introduction

The use of digital media in the classroom setting in higher education has been explored by researchers due to the growing prevalence of information access via digital media among young adults (Hsu & Wang, 201) and the emergence of new literacies. In particular, the use of blogs as a learning tool has been investigated in many previous studies. However, although previous studies have shown a positive relation between blogging and motivation, there are not that many studies that focused specifically on the impact of blogging on the improvement of reading and comprehension skills among adult English learners. As well, most of ...

When students seek to study internationally, or more specifically when international students seek to study at English-speaking universities, they are often instructed to take a test that measures their level of mastery as it relates to the use of English. Among the most common of tests used for this purpose is the IELTS. However, there is some doubt regarding the effectiveness of using these tests. As such, the primary research question of interest will be: In what ways are the IELTS tests inaccurate in assessing the verbal and written performance levels of ESL learners?

How does the IELTS Test ...

Background

The IELTS test is one of the most significant single measures of student ESL skills, as it relates to class placement, program acceptance and more. As such, I feel that it is imperative that these tests accurately measure skill and predict performance. Members of the educational community should be concerned with this question, because it directly impacts international enrollment and student success, as well as graduation rates, and program acceptance. The findings derived from the study could be used to improve program criteria, or testing approach in order to increase accuracy of placement, and improve student performance, among non-native ...

The Methodology: Quantitative study

Data: Written IELTS test score and performance in English 101/ entry level English class based on percentage grade in the course, and performance in entry level class in the student’s degree area, based on percentage grade in the course.
Why : I want to see if the performance band that a student scores in on the IELTS consistently correlates with their classroom performance, in order to determine whether or not it is an accurate predictor of student outcomes, or ability to meet the standards of performance in the classroom setting.

Data Collection: Questioners with closed answer questions regarding scores and level of performance.

In my essay, I will be defending my position that there is a universal definition of ‘word’ that can be applied to all languages. For proving my point, I will provide example of two totally different language systems; Chinese and English. These two languages are considered to be used by the most number of people in the world (Wan & Yim 507). First, I will discuss the case that the origin of these two languages system is similar. Both languages originate with similar rules: hieroglyphic words and eyes movement. I will provide many interesting examples ...

Introduction

As observed by the United Nations Convention, most of the international sanctions originate from political situations between two or more countries that share a common trade base or interact in business and commercial activities. Sanctions are thus defined as restrictions that are imposed on countries for political reasons but directly affect the economic situations in the affected country or the well being of the citizens involved. The international law of contract seems to care less about the effect of these sanctions on the citizens, who most of the time have no direct role in the cause of the differences in ...

When it comes to a language such as English, it is a challenge due to the psychological barriers hence, there is a challenge when settling in educational systems.

PART 1

In the question as to whether the US government should prohibit trade with countries that have poor records on human rights, it becomes apparent from the numerous research materials reviewed that indeed, trade barriers should be put in place, where a country fails to honour its human rights. Although no particular country in the world has a completely clean record on human rights, there are countries that have evidently crossed the line between the imperfect, but allowable human rights and the gross disrespect to human rights that can end up classifying the country as a ‘no go zone’ (Abbott, 2006, p.17), ...

My final project is going to focus on the representation of female masculinity in popular media and especially as seen in Orange is the New Black (OINB). The representation of gay women on television started back in the 1980s in the medical series called Heartbeat. It took so long a time until the 21st century for society to accept their existence. Television plays a very critical role as mainstream media, and many people find themselves glued to it. In order for society to appreciate gender diversity that has strayed from mainstream traditional gender relations, it is important to look ...

Introduction

Medical Case Reports (MCRs) are medical recounts of a pathological condition about a single patient (Helan, 2012). Authors of the medical case reports, who are doctors, tend to experience unusual, unique or interesting medical aspects in patients' pathology about diagnosis, treatment and adverse reaction to the treatment. Therefore, they are purported to write medical case reports which represent unique or rear patient conditions that can influence new studies and hence increased medical knowledge. Although the medical case reports have for a long time been regarded as much inferior compared to medical research articles, they are becoming recognised as just equally important. Since ...

Companies with internally appointed CEOs are known to be more profitable than companies with externally appointed CEOs. Researchers relate this to the accountability and competence of internally appointed CEOs compared with externally appointed CEOs who are mostly appointed ...

Background of the Study

Since the establishment of the People’s Republic of China (PRC), the role of China in the relation between Thailand and Cambodia has been quite evident. China has been involved in a number of ways, including the border disputes between Cambodia and Thailand, which started several years ago. Cambodia’s historical concern about Thailand’s inversion on its western provinces depicts a case where an ASEAN state has suspended diplomatic relations with another (Weatherbee 2008).
