...Due to the fact that English Language Learners can be easily misunderstood and mistaken for having a disability if their language skills are still developing, it is important that an early assessment of their ability to learn and comprehend is properly identified. If the student (s) seems to be having a hard time grasping what they are being taught, a teacher would consider that perhaps there is more than just a language barrier; possibly a learning one as well. “Once students are identified as struggling, educators need to determine whether the difficulties are due to English language learning a learning difficulty, or both. Students may need to be taught differently depending on: the root cause of their difficulty, considerations of developmental...

...Discrimination against Deaf people in the Workplace. Imagine you’re Deaf and you’re trying to obtain a job, but every time you request a sign language interpreter to be present during the interview you get a call or email stating that you are no longer being considered for the position. There is no explanation as to why and if there is an explanation, it’s an unjustified one. Usually it’ll be the same answer, you’re not going to be able to do this job if you can’t hear. Or, this job is going to be too hard for you since you’re Deaf. Then, when further pressed on the matter you’re completely ignored. Finally, after much struggle, you manage to get your hands on that much needed job, but suddenly you’re shunned by some fellow coworkers or you...

...that the deaf community faces. The reason that this is such a large obstacle is that communication within a workplace is vital to ensuring successful completion of tasks and accomplishing goals. Programs have been put in place, and legislative measures have been introduced, to assist these individuals in not only gaining employment, but also in maintaining a healthy and happy work environment that can lead to career longevity. The first step to ensuring open channels of communication among both the deaf and hearing communities is to form a standard of education. After Arizona entered the Union in February of 1912, one of its first state legislatures enacted a provision to form the Arizona Schools for the Deaf and Blind (Arizona State Schools for the Deaf and the Blind, 2011). Starting classes in October of that year with just 19 children with hearing loss, the school continued to grow over the years to eventually become a public corporation. This school has many services for eligible students; including early childhood and family education, to athletics, and even career and technical education. This program was introduced through the legislature to assist the deaf and hard of hearing in living a normal life just like any other person, while still fulfilling individual needs required by their disability. Education on the part of the individual alone is not enough to ensure that the path to...

...Amber Kiker Kiker 1 Professor McCarthy English 102 August 12, 2015 Deaf Employment in the Professional Sector Profound hearing loss affects millions of people in the United States today. According to the Gualledette Research Institute there are currently over a million people between the ages of 6 and 65 who are Deaf (Harrington 1). While several state and federally funded programs have been implemented to support early and post-secondary education for the Deaf, evidence points to a significant lack of job placement assistance for Deaf young adults transitioning from college to independent living. Deaf graduates often return home to live with family due to an inability to obtain employment reflective of their academic achievements. Currently in America the most common type of employment held by Deaf individuals is limited primarily to the service and manufacturing industries. The objective of this research is to investigate the professional sector of employment in the United States to uncover the driving mechanisms behind the non-presence of the Deaf Community, specifically those with post-secondary education, and to examine what steps are being taken to resolve this apparent disparity. In the hearing world, graduating from college is the beginning of an exciting chapter of a young adult’s life as it represents the transition from higher education into the world of professional employment. It is the time one gets to put into practice the skills they have...

... The increase of ELL's is putting added stress and pressure on the educational systems and the teachers are forced to train themselves to accommodate for the students and their families. Integrating new programs to accommodate the ELL's in the school can be very challenging not only for the school and the teacher but for the learner and their family as well. It is difficult to teach a non-English speaking student English when they have not yet mastered their own native language. How well the student knows their native language has a huge impact on how well they will learn a new one. Learning a new language can also be difficult because of the slang words and figurative language that we all use everyday. It is challenging for schools to create and teach a curriculum that fit the needs and standards of the ELL 's. We as teachers, need to pay attention to the needs and learning styles of our students and incorporate successful techniques and strategies that have been proven be efficient and successful in language accommodation in other classrooms. As most teachers begin to modify their curriculum they will find that it is easier to...

...implementation (commonly referred to as coding[1][2]) of algorithms in a target programming language. Source code is written in one or more programming languages. The purpose of programming is to find a sequence of instructions that will automate performing a specific task or solving a given problem. The process of programming thus often requires expertise in many different subjects, including knowledge of the application domain, specialized algorithms and formal logic. Related tasks include testing, debugging, and maintaining the source code, implementation of the build system, and management of derived artifacts such as machine code of computer programs. These might be considered part of the programming process, but often the term "software development" is used for this larger process with the term "programming", "implementation", or "coding" reserved for the actual writing of source code. Software engineering combines engineering techniques with software development practices. Computer Programming Principles : Program Design Computer Programming is the process of writing, testing, troubleshooting, debugging and maintaining of a computer program. Good programming practices mix art, craft and engineering discipline. This book will teach you the basic principles of computer programming and good programming practices. What this book will not do is teach you to use a specific programming language. This book may also be useful as part of a course on computer theory, computer engineering...

At present, it has established its own status in the international community. By using their intelligence and effort, the interpreters have made great contribution to smooth the communication between people who speak different languages. With their talents and techniques, the interpreters help people to overcome language barriers and serve as a bridge in intercultural communication. It is not until 1980s that the research on interpreting has been carried out in China. Ever since the reform and opening-up policy, research work on translation and interpreting has gained more and more attention from scholars. The number of the publication of articles concerning translation and interpreting has been increasing quickly. However, the study of translation in China still falls behind that in the western countries, and the research on interpreting theories and teaching is still a weak area in translation studies in China.
