The concepts of loanwords and globalization support the idea that English is absorbing words from other languages and incorporating them into its own. The present day world has increasingly become interconnected through what is known as globalization. According to Odegova and Zabulionite (475), “this interconnection, “has spelled the need for people to adopt words used by different languages.” For instance, Spanish words such as “tortilla” and “Desperado” are now common among the English speaking people. This discourse might be viewed in a negative light. However, as a matter of fact, the loanwords evidence the degree to which culture is ...

Communication within Discourse Communities

Discourse, from Latin discursus, means written and spoken communications. According to Michel Foucault, discourse is a series of signs because they form statements and reports in an organization.

A people who share certain interests imply a discourse community. In so doing, the group has a common language through which they communicate. A log is another way in which how something is said or written and can be just as important ...

Final Summary Paper

Communication is a complex process that involves words, voice volume, and a tone, body language, the topic of discussion and the communication history between interlocutors. Communication can be called effective, when the recipient understands the message and expresses its meaning back to the sender. Interpersonal communication takes place when two, or more people, exchange their messages and have the roles of a speaker and a listener. Nevertheless, a lecture cannot be called interpersonal because only the lecturer speaks, while the audience listens. One-way communication is also a communication, which is called broadcasting. Interpersonal skills show, how effectively people get ...

Chapter 2: Literature Review

Introduction Poor student development has been established to stem from the inability of teachers to effectively manage classroom behaviour, also stemming from ineffective instructional strategies. As teachers show a diminished capacity to support and respond to students’ needs, student rates of misbehaviour and poor academic performance will continue. The unproductive, unengaged environment of classrooms run by teachers without adequate classroom management skills results in a need to examine the efficacy of classroom management as a practice in addressing these problems. The following literature review examines the existing literature related to classroom management, providing a definition of classroom management, determining its effectiveness, and ...

The inability of teachers to manage classroom behaviors contributes to poor student development (Stevens & Lingo, 2013; Funnell, 2009). In response to this limitation the ineffective manner of any adopted strategies utilized will affect the socialization of students and stunt any true learning or participation on the part of the student.(Shook, 2012). A lack of effort set forth by teachers to maintain effective classroom management reflects a lack of support and responsiveness on the part of the students.

A teacher's accomplishments are made up of student learning and teacher efficiency, and can be traced to the ability of the teacher, ...

David Mamet brings to the American theatre a particular sensitivity to the ways in which language is used, apart from its communicative function, to give shape and meaning to its users’ lives. His characters tend to come from closed worlds with their own cultures, myths, codes and jargon – old men, swinging singles, minor criminals, high-pressure salesmen and Hollywood hustlers (Berkowitz 190). Mamet believed that the language the person uses always defines the way he or she behaves. He makes an emphasis on language as a weapon, a mean of standardizing, identity and power, superiority, but not as a usual tool of communication.

When writing, authors describe their universe, sharing it with their audience through the communication process. In engaging in this complex process of translating their own world in words meant to make others see it through the writer’s eyes, authors usually adhere to a subjective writing. Even when writers proofread their work they might consider that there is nothing that they would add or change to the initial draft, as they comprehend what they wrote specifically because they are the initiator of their own ideas. However, transmitting the meaning of their words or structured writing to the audiences might not ...
