DIPTI PETHE YEAR : 2012 -2013 INDEX Introduction Aims and Objectives Meaning and Nature of Language English Language and Literature in India Role of Language in Teaching Literature Sociolinguistic Contest in Learning and Teaching English Language Conclusion Bibliography INTRODUCTION Sociolinguistics is the descriptive study of the effect of any and all aspects of society, including cultural norms, expectations, and context, on the way language is used, and the effects of language use on society. Sociolinguistics differs from sociology of language in that the focus of sociolinguistics is the effect of the society on the language, while the latter's focus is on the language's effect on the society. Sociolinguistics overlaps to a considerable degree with pragmatics. It is historically closely related to linguistic anthropology and the distinction between the two fields has even been questioned recently. It also studies how language varieties differ between groups separated by certain social variables, e.g., ethnicity, religion, status, gender, level of education, age, etc., and how creation and...

...Incidental and Intentional Learning JAN H. HULSTIJN 1 Introduction There are two popular views on what it means to learn a second language. One view holds that it means months and even years of “intentional” study, involving the deliberate committing to memory of thousands of words (their meaning, sound, and spelling) and dozens of grammar rules. The other, complementary, view holds that much of the burden of intentional learning can be taken off the shoulders of the language learner by processes of “incidental” learning, involving the “picking up” of words and structures, simply by engaging in a variety of communicative activities, in particular reading and listening activities, during which the learner's attention is focused on the meaning rather than on the form of language. These popular views on intentional and incidental learning reflect, at best, only partially the ways in which these terms have been and are being used in the academic literature. Some empirical researchers attribute to them only a specific methodological meaning, in the context of laboratory-type learning experiments. Apart from this methodological sense, incidental and intentional learning have been given various interpretations, sometimes indistinguishable from two more widely used terms, namely implicit and explicit learning, respectively. There are virtually no experimental L2 grammar learning studies which are explicitly presented as “intentional” learning studies...

...TIFFANY SEACE 10/07/14 EDU 737 Assignment 5C 1. • “Differentiated instruction is not about adjusting your teaching to meet the needs of children receiving special education. It’s about meeting the needs of everyone in your class- regardless of their individual situation.” i. This idea was also seen in the UDL video. The idea is to adapt the curriculum instruction to the needs of the class, rather than the other way around. This allows every student to access information, become engaged, and be challenged appropriately. It is important to push those who are talented or gifted, or continue to push those who understand certain topics already, as well as be nurturing to those who are struggling or have specific disabilities. In order to have a classroom that meets this standard, I will be sure to learn as much as I can about the students (from the students themselves) in the beginning of the school year. • “Differentiated instruction is about giving students multiple options for taking in information and making sense of ideas.” i. All students learn differently. Even those who seem to pick up information quickly, or paced with the curriculum, obtain information in different ways from each other. In order to nurture these different ways of obtaining skills and information, we need to give students different ways to explore what we are teaching. In my classroom, I would give the instruction of the ideas, but then allow practice of skills, or exploration of information...

...Adam George English 1010 Authority figure versus Authority Model Teaching Styles Any teacher who has ever taught in a classroom setting will quickly say their style of teaching is different from other teachers. A good teacher knows that it is very common for a class of students to be at a variety of levels in any particular subject and that all students do not learn in the same way. In order to be effective, teachers will definitely need to use different teaching methods to reach all their students. Having different teaching styles is very important for teachers to adapt to their students’ learning abilities. The two most popular teaching styles used by teachers today are the authority figure and the authority model. One of the most popular and widely used teaching styles is that of an authority figure. This teaching style puts the teacher as the center of attention and all the students must focus on the teacher. A formal authority teaching style tends to focus on content. This style is generally teacher-centered, where the teacher feels responsible for providing and controlling the flow of the content and the student is expected to receive the content. All information received by the students will be handled quickly by the teacher. The teacher will often maintain control of the class by using a loud voice or some other type of attention-getting-tactic such as not speaking until the class is quiet. This style of teaching only produces short-term results with students...

...Reading competence Hedge (1990) as cited by Yah Awg Nik et.al,(****)agrees that reading and exposure to language help students to improve their writing performance. The authors also agreed with the Ministry of Education of New Zealand (2004) that a student who is familiar or has a mastery of a topic, can eventually produce a proficient and effective writing output. However, there are students who are poor in reading which results to failure in correcting and monitoring their writing output. The study made by Yah Awg Nik et.al (****) concludes that extensive exposure to English Language has enhanced the writing performance after they had given different instruments and being assessed. This is in accordance with Hedge’s (1990) argument that exposure and reading extensively are beneficial to effective writing skills. They also added that writing maybe difficult and demanding but frequent exposure in reading and writing will help improve writing performance. Intelligence Farris in Garnace (2006) admits that thinking and language are related to each other and their development occurs at the same time. Learners that have proficiency in speaking, listening, reading and writing can deal effectively with the tasks that have something to do with the thinking strategies. Motivation Factors The studies of Bandura, (1986); Ellis, Lenz, & Sabornie, (1987); Paris & Winograd, (1990); Wong, (1994) asserts that students with writing problems frequently are unmotivated because...

...Teaching Philosophy Statement I am not yet a teacher but have had a strong desire to be one ever since I was a child. I recall playing with my sisters and I loved playing the role as a teacher. I grew up in a bilingual environment. As a child I knew how to speak and read Spanish but, I was lacking grammar skills. I wanted to know my home language fluently in all aspects. Therefore, I want to facilitate my future students to be able to learn a second language. My drive is to pursue a higher education to my students that way they could become successful life. I am going to act like a guide to them and promoting respect to all my students. It is my life aspiration to be an excellent high school teacher who motivates students to achieve the highest level of education. Not only I am pushing myself but also, I want to be a teacher to push my students to excellence. Perseverance is my motto, and I want to pass that on to my students. I want them to see my example: I’ve worked hard and never once gave up on what I wanted to become –their teacher. I believe that my role as a teacher is to give my students the tools necessary to be successful. In order to accomplish this goal, I will find ways to teach each student based on their needs that way all my students will feel capable and successful. Another way that I would help my students is by incorporate themes, projects, group work, to make my students active learners. I want to inspire Spanish and English speakers to ascertain their...
