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 ...

- Introduction
- Bilingualism has been defined variously as the ability to converse or speak and understand more than one language. In a stricter sense, bilingualism implies the ability to speak two languages though multilingual speakers, i.e. those who speak and understand more than two languages are often referred to as bilinguals. In recent years especially due to the world reaching the pinnacle of globalization where there is virtual interconnectedness of one end to the other, bilingualism has become more of a norm rather than an exception. The knowledge and expertise in more than one language has been viewed as a ...

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 ...

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: ...

What are the differences in language development between early and late normal development children?

What are the differences in language development in early childhood between children with typical development patterns and children with attention deficit disorder?
What are the differences in language development in late childhood between children with typical development patterns and children with attention deficit disorder?

What are the developmental difference in language acquisition between early and late childhood stages for children with attention deficit disorder?

Introduction
Language development has been a principal issue of interest in developmental psychology, especially with consideration of multiple external and internal factors that can affect this aspect of learning – both in early childhood and at later stages. Pungello and colleagues (2009) summarize the existing research stating that early language development in children is principal for ...

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 ...

INTRODUCTION

The Common Core State Standards Initiative (also known by its other name, the “Common Core”) is a comprehensive list of things that students should know in language arts and mathematics only—the Common Core does not deal with science, languages, physical education, and so on (Mathis, 2010). The “Common Core” is the curriculum that an educational assembly in the United States has decided is appropriate for students of each grade level across the United States (Bomer & Maloch, 2011). The Common Core has been incredibly controversial since its inception, but has been introduced in a number of states in grades K-12. The ...

Abstract

Television is a strong media form that can have significant influence to the minds of the minors. Behavioral and psychological effects of television have been documented in research studies, but what is most significant is how literature reviews demonstrated the impact of television shows in the communication of minors and their mindsets. Television, in its various media forms, has the ability to influence behavior and may result in persuasive effects in the use of words and other forms of communication in order to attract its viewers, especially the minors. As the young audience is exposed to television in its ...

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 ...

Introduction

It has been established in a separate review of related literatures that bilingualism can have numerous direct and indirect advantages and disadvantages. Although bilingualism does not only affect a state’s educational system, this paper would focus on its effects on an established educational system. Some of the pertinent findings about bilingualism and its effects on the educational system include buy may not limited to the ones that suggest that:
There is a set of social factors that may be used to determine the likelihood that individuals within an educational system would adopt bilingualism. These factors are social input, ...

Swearing holds a unique place in society that is rife with contradictions. It can elevate one’s image as bold and assertive, and simultaneously diminish another’s image as uncouth and aggressive. It is perceived as unacceptable language in the classroom, yet essential on the sea deck. There is an innate hierarchy in swear words or phrases, which is constantly shifting. Societal change largely dictates acceptance or rejection of obscenities. Some words or phrases become acceptable within common vernacular and others mutate into objectionable vitriol. Words that were heard only in watering holes are now common on primetime television. In ...

Bilingualism affects children learning capabilities in such that they lack understanding of a second language away from their mother tongue. 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. Some of the causes of the problem are due to parents migrating to other countries, where their children are not able to settle and understand the new language.
Some of the previous studies show that once some of the families have moved to new areas, the main challenge is that the ...

Relationship between Preschool Programs and Kindergarten Readiness
Schools today are undergoing a lot of challenges in terms of funds. With budget cuts for early education and limited resources of funding, school readiness to formal education is becoming an area of concern for schools, teachers, and parents. Schools are striving to manage their educational responsibilities by reducing their financial obligations through minimizing the number of teachers and increasing the number of students in each class. This strategy by many schools could not go by without impact on educational performance of students. This impact extends to affect the ...

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?

Family literacy is a program that aims at elevating the language and literacy skills of parents and their children through parent and child learning, and the acknowledgement of parent’s responsibility in the development of their children’s literacy and language development. I agree with Darling’s argument that family literacy is relevant for families since studies reveal that individuals with high literacy levels have higher chances of getting employment, to work more, and earn more than individual with lower qualifications, and would like to investigate this claim (18). Hence, my topic will be Relevance of Family Literacy.

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), ...

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 ...

Using a controlled randomized experiment, the study will involve 6th grade school going children from one city. Before the tests are administered in the factors, as music and mathematics, letters seeking permissions from parents will be sent. The letters ...

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 ...

The present research will explore language acquisition through reading and music. While previously a significant amount of studies examined the potential connections that exist between language acquisition and intensive reading, there are a limited amount of studies that explore the link between music and language acquisition. Subsequently, this study will set out to not only draw conclusions regarding whether or not a connection exists between an individual’s reading and vocabulary acquisition, but if a connection exists between listening to music and such comprehension.

As noted, the prevailing research question is the impact of reading and music on language ...

Tax Research Project 2

Introduction:
In 1976, Congress amended the tax law to include Section 280A (Lawyer, 1985) in the Internal Revenue Code. Congress’ reason for the amendment was due to concerns that people were renting out their vacation homes so that they could deduct personal expenses that would not, under normal circumstances, be deductible (Lawyer, 1985). Section 280A required vacation home owners to assign expenses connected with the vacation home either to personal use or rental use. Congress apparently hoped that Section 280A would limit or control the business deductibles for expenses sustained on a vacation home during the tax year when ...

A REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE

Mainstreaming is described as the process of integrating disabled children in the normal education program. This entails presenting special needs children in the normal school curriculum apart from their special education program (Jones, 200). This consists of putting the special needs students in a regular class with the rest of normal students and making sure that they interact with the normal students. In the past ages, physically and mentally handicapped children were shunned away by the society. Most of them did not even attend schools and on often occasion, some were closed in hidden places the rest of their lives. ...

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 ...

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 ...

Nonverbal communication has become important in the modern world. One thing that is worth nothing is that the world has today become more integrated than it was a century ago. This has been made possible by the technological and communication advancements that have been realized in the past century. This phenomenonhas been around for many years. Advanced technologies and communication networks have allowed people to both move and communicate across territorial boundaries. However, it is worth noting that the world is not homogenous in terms of culture. Different regions of the world have different cultures that are distinct from others.

Psychology: Exploring the Relations of Micro Expression to Professional Performance

According to the studies conducted by Albert Mehrabian in 1971, in communication process, around 93% of human communication takes place through non-verbal mode. He divided the communication process into three parts; words (7%), tone of the voice (38%), and body language 55% (Mehrabian, 1981). Among non-verbal modes of communication the commonly used mode is the facial expressions. The face of the person expresses his/her emotions. Yet, some part of emotions is sometimes not clear to everyone. We all are not experts in identifying each and every expression of the ...

France has been debated on their expatriates’ citizen lately due to the expansion of expat workers. It is seen negatively as some politics state that it is a “lose of brains” for the country because of the crisis and fiscal pressure of the government (Biacabe & Robert, 2014). The French system is often criticized due to the high risk that entrepreneurs are facing when they open their business in France. For instance, as Jean Tirole who awarded the Nobel Prize in economic, explained the French labour ...

Abstract

Games that are created for purposes other than entertainment are called serious games. The art of applying games on a day to day actions is known as gamification. The gaming elements in serious games can be utilized to simulate reality in teaching and training environments (Crookall 2010, p. 898). Deep learning is a new approach to education and disregards the traditional method where the teacher was the all-knowing authority who passed down facts to the students (Fullan and Langworthy 2014). The traditional method did not view the learning environment as a factor that could affect the learning process. Adult ...
