Implication of Introducing Dual Language at an Early Age

Introduction

Learning a foreign language is a slow and progressive effort which requires constant and responsible practice. Independent study is absolutely necessary for progress, and the hours spent in the classroom are not nearly enough in order to achieve fluency. This is particularly true for languages which are considered difficult to master, such as Mandarin. In recent years, Mandarin has become one of the most important foreign languages studied in schools throughout the United States of America. Mastering Mandarin challenges students to a great extent, even though many of them choose to study this language. Consequently, many teachers use the ...

Introduction

People have always been fascinated about how language affects their thoughts or even the process of thinking. Considering this thought, is it then right to say that people from different language groups speak differently? This paper’s thesis statement argues that language simply serves as a medium of communication and is therefore only a means that can be used to interpret how unique and different people and groups of people are from each other. The argument that suggests that language affects people’s thoughts is based on the idea that language is what determines how moral or crooked one ...

It goes without saying that changing of culture influenced the changes in the education. What are the outdated courses? What assumptions did such courses make about socialization and identity? What languages were taught in the past and which are taught today? What cultural needs does education fulfill?

During several centuries, immigrants from different countries came to America and they brought their traditions and their ideas about the education of the younger ...

It has been long since I wrote to you, but after my last trip I decided to share my experience with you. I would like to tell you about my experience of travelling to India last winter.

The last one decade has been marked by a great evolution of how advertisements are translated. This process is currently known as “advertising localization” and focuses on dealing with having a successful translation of adverts from one language to another without changing the objective of the particular advertisement (Malmkjær & Windle, 2012). The act of advertising is an important tool when it comes to informing the consumer on the diversity of the products present in the market (Chidiac & Saliba, n.d). Various factors have led to the evolution with some including the trade intensification and the globalization of the economies. ...

I. Introduction Researches argued that there was little evidence to accurately determine the early language in England. While the region was inhabited by humans for thousands of years, and that the presence of culture was detected, it was noted that the English language has been only adopted for a comparatively short span of time. History revealed that the English language we have today is a product of the different spoken dialects of the Germanic tribes who immigrated to England sometime in the 5th century. The development of the English language is comparable to a division of historical periods, and ...

Introduction

The world of today is characterized by an abundance of plural societies, where people from different cultures, languages, races, and ethnicities coexist in a spirit of tolerance and harmony. The majority of these civilizations have experienced diversity as a result of particular global phenomena, including slavery, colonization, and immigration among others. The existence of assorted racial and ethnic factions in the contemporary society presents a challenge of inclusion and participation in diverse national issues, especially political processes.

The book by Michael Byram “From Foreign Language Education to Education for Intercultural Citizenship: Essays and Reflections” is devoted to learning foreign languages in terms of culture at primary school.

Teaching is determined by social, political, and economic position of the society. According to the author, internationalization and globalization leave an impact on the educational sphere, and language teaching methodology requires revision, with consideration of intercultural competence. On the other hand, language learning is ...

The preliminary title of the proposed research project is “A contrastive study of transitivity and intransitivity in formal and colloquial Arabic and English”. The final title of the research project is not carved in stone and will likely be subject to change, if some nuanced corrections are suggested.

Background

In the languages that are widely spoken in the world today, all verbs can be categorized as transitive, intransitive or ambitransitive. Historically, linguists have understood transitivity as a “transfer of energy from one entity to another” (Hoche, 2009, p. 148). It appears from this definition that transitive verbs presume the transfer ...

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 ...

Introduction

Over the last few decades, the Canadian education system has been characterized by ethnic and racial discrimination. Despite having the Ontario Human Rights Code that advocates for equal rights for all and freedom from discrimination, cases of ethnic prejudice have been manifested significantly, especially for the Blacks and Aboriginal population who have over time been denied access to quality education (Daenzer & Dei, 1994). These minority groups experience low-quality education, which leads to low academic attainment. Aspects of ethnic discrimination have deterred the minority groups and denied them a chance to pursue ambitions for social mobility and high levels of ...
