...Immigration Helps the United States The United States is known as the land of the free. “we see a reflection of our parents' and grandparents' journey—a powerful reminder that our America is not so much a place as a promise; not a guarantee but a chance; not a particular race, but an embrace of our common humanity.” (Clinten, Bill) This is the land of opportunity. Immigrants can be beneficial to the US. Because immigrants are an incredible benefit to the United States, the government must help these desperate people to overcome the enormous barriers they will face. Immigrants help boost the United States economy so the United States should help immigrants overcome cultural and language barriers. Immigrants can actually be beneficial to the US. Immigrants mean more workers, consumers, and a better economy. Due to immigration are population keeps increasing so there is always someone to do the jobs Americans do not want to at a lower price. Immigrant labor helps the US retain cheap prices. ( Duignan, Peter) Immigration helps our economy in other ways as well. Due to immigration we have a lower unemployment rate. Immigrants bring more skilled and unskilled people. We need people without high school diplomas to do the low skilled jobs...

...Introduction According to the Oxford Dictionaries online values are “one’s judgment of what is important in life.” One’s values do shape their perspectives and influence their actions in their lives. Values determine what people stand for and what they believe in. It is vital that teachers know their values in education -- teaching and learning. Values in education are the corner-stone whereby the processes of teaching and learning are moulded together into sharing knowledge, skills and experience that help a society to form new ways of doing things as well as innovating and creating new things. In this statement, values in education are referred to as a representation of teacher’s beliefs that underpins gratification of their needs in education -- the intended outcomes of teaching and learning in the society. Sources of Values in Education There are many sources of values in education and this statement will briefly mention a few sources namely: governments, professional boards, religions and religious institutions/establishments, and ideologies. It is worth noting that values in education, and indeed in society at large, are subjective, dynamic, fluid and do change with time. In this respect, values in education not only reflect the societies’ values but also influence societies in forming new values in education. Thus, across the world, the purpose of education is to shape the populace so that it fits into the society and function as it is required (MacIntyre, 1987)....

...Collaboration, Adaptability, Problem solving, critical thinking, conflict resolution. For communication skill I started interacting with students share stories with them and listen to them. Handing in assignments with grammarly correct sentences and correct spelling. It might not be the best at least they will understand and know what I'm capable of. When I had an English class in last semester, I have to write reflection of the stories I red in pages long. One day my professor told me communication doesn't need to be long, short and get to the point can also be more effective. Next time when I worked on a similar task, I reminded myself from what my professor said on the communication I imply them on the task it allows me to save time, I have more time, and my paper become more effective than longer version I wrote in pervious assignments. Teamwork and Collaboration is everywhere around me that can't be ignored. I always like to work independently because of the facts that some people doesn't like to take responsibilities, not showing care or commitment. Almost every group project I had done over years in school someone does 99% of the work, someone doesn't have no idea what's going on the whole time, someone always said going to help but never show up, someone always disappear at the beginning but show up at the end. But I can't say majority of people are like this, I had collaborate with many good individuals on assignment and projects. In school majority of the courses want student...

Unlike fingerprints, the iris can be scanned from a distance of six feet away whether by surveillance or still cameras, or on an unsuspecting person is being photographed and spied upon. Dr. Marios Savvides, Director of the CyLab Biometrics Lab, along with a group of researchers are working on breaking ground in the enhancement of iris scanning as well as coming up with the creation of new technology. Savvides is focusing on the image quality and device efficiency, which are two problematic areas used in biometric authentication(“Iris and Facial Recognition”, 2014). The images used in iris scanning are usually low quality and contains random reflections in or around the iris and pupil that could possibly impact the performance of iris segmentation. Savvides and his researchers have developed a better image quality which shows a more vigorous iris segmentation. This allows the iris segmentation of the image to be performed in a matter of 3.37...

...Business Communication Business Communication and its effectiveness as a success factor to its firms Introduction Communication is defined as the process of transferring information and meaning between senders and receivers, using one or more written, oral, visual or electronic channels. Simply put, communication is the exchange of information between people. It is important to get feedback from your audience and vice versa for the process of communication to take place effectively. The feedback can be either positive or negative. Business communication is any communication used in an organisation with an intention to promote a product, improve service or with the intention to make a sale. This type of communication also occurs within the organisation between the management and employees. It has purpose and a lot of attention is given to detail. Business communication has undergone a lot of transformation as a result of the growth of information technology that has changed the whole concept of communication. In the past, businesses had a model of communication that left very little room for interaction and conversation with the receiver of the message. Currently the model that works and is now used by most organisations is one that gives room to both conversation and interaction with the receivers. Communication is very vital in any organization. Like blood in our bodies, it is the channel that gives life to the organisation and without it, organisations would not be...

...Making Use of English Subtitled K-Pop MV in Exploring Students’ Extensive Reading Comprehension YUNINGSIH Telkom University, Indonesia yuningsihlegiman@gmail.com ABSTRACT Studies on captions and subtitles in EFL learning gave positive effects on comprehension and vocabulary acquisition (Chung, 1996, Neurnan & Koskinen, 1992; Price, 1983; Vanderplank, 1988, 1993). Using song in ELT was highly impressive and motivating (Murphey, 1992; Lied, 2000). This study was designed to investigate the use of English-subtitled K-Pop MV in exploring students’ extensive reading ability. In this case study, five students, four girls and one boy, were selected. To collect the data, document analysis and an in-depth interview were conducted. The findings showed in comprehending the song, the students’ interpretations were still shallow and relying heavily on summary of narrative with very low-level inference. Meanwhile in vocabulary acquisition, it helped their better understanding wider range vocabulary, either in English or Korean. In addition, using K-Pop for learning English was more interesting and enjoyable, it is also motivating. Overall, using English-subtitle on K-Pop can be used as an alternative way to enliven extensive reading. Keywords: Subtitle, comprehension, extensive reading, interpretation, inference.

...Darius Phillips Professor Cuthbert English 99 September 5, 2014 Journal #1 Migoya, David. “Getting Carded.” Along These Lines, Writing Paragraphs and Essays. John Sheridan Biays and Carol Weshoven Summary In his essay, “Getting Carded”, David Migoya talks about the serious problems that befall college students when they start using credit cards. These problems don’t bother the credit card companies at all, who aggressively market cards to this young population, counting on statistics indicating that once students start using a particular type of card, they stay loyal to that type throughout their adult years. The companies are also willing to take risks on students because they know that parents will often “swoop” down and rescue them by paying off their large debts. According to Migoya, most students are too irresponsible to use a credit card wisely. They use it to buy unnecessary purchases like beer and pizza and see the card as an extension of their income instead of a “tool of convenience.” As a result of spending money they don’t have, they get into massive debt. More insidious than the debt are the late fees and high interest rates. “Put simply,” says Montoya, “a student who consistently pays only the monthly minimum is likely to hit financial ruin quickly.” Migoya emphasizes that these early credit problems follow students as they enter the adult world, making it difficult to get low interest rates on major purchases and even affecting their ability to be hired...

...Personal Pedagogy Statement: Being a Witness, Teaching English Cherise Mayes Azusa Pacific University November 4, 2013 Language and Second Language Acquisition Language is not fixed or limited to words and a series of rules that connect them together. Language is a rich form of communication and social practice involving interpretation and meaning making. Language is our system of communication before anything else; it bridges knowledge, beliefs, opinions, and emotions from one being to the next while creating a bond between them. To learn a language is to understand the relationship between language and culture. How people learn a second language varies systematically and involves the development of listening, speaking, writing, and reading skill sets in the target language. Penny Ur (2012) gives some theories and main ideas on how one acquires second or foreign languages. Intuitive acquisition, habit-formation, cognitive process, and skill learning are defined and probably some of these theories have truth in them. (p. 7) But not one of these alone can underline the complexity of the process of learning a second language. Concrete learning drills in writing and reading literature, acknowledges grammar, uses translation methods, and creating a learner-centered environment where naturalistic communication is utilized. Students and the Teacher: Playing their Parts The student role is being an active learner within all four skill sets, writing, speaking, listening...
