...CHAPTER 1 HISTORY OF LANGUAGE Language is a set of symbols of communication and the elements used to manipulate them. It is one of the most important innovations of men. Language can be used in different ways for different purposes. But mostly, its primary use is for communication. Language was considered to have a “life cycle” and to develop according to evolutionary laws. In addition, it was believed that language, like the human animal, has a “genealogical tree” –that is, that each language can be traced back to a common ancestor.” Ethnologue organization, the most extensive catalog of the world’s languages, presented a detailed classified list which currently includes 6,809 distinct languages. Although there are many languages, these are not uniformly distributed around the world. Some places are more diverse in terms of distribution of languages. According to Stephen Anderson (YEAR) of the Linguistic Society of America (LSA), out of Ethnologue’s 6,809, for instance, only 230 are spoken in Europe, while 2,197 are spoken in Asia. Among these 2,197 languages in Asia, 171 are spoken in the Philippines. Associated with language are the different systems of writing in the past. Hieroglyphics and cuneiform are some of them. But here in our country, alibata is the primitive form of writing. It is also known as baybayin which literally means “to spell.” It is used even before the Spaniards conquered our country. There are many languages which influenced our official...

...“Paraphrase” is a verb which means to re-write a phrase or sentence with the same meaning but using different words. Paraphrasing is a very important skill for most English tests, including TOEFL iBT, IELTS and TOEIC Speaking and Writing. In TOEFL iBT, for instance, paraphrasing is an important skill in the reading section, in the listening section and, above all, in the speaking and writing sections of the test. Here is a quick example of paraphrasing using a phrase from the paragraph above: 1. "Paraphrasing is a very important skill for most English tests." 2. "For many tests of English, being skilful at paraphrasing is extremely important." Notice how the paraphrased version (sentence 2) changes some vocabulary (e.g., “extremely” for “very”), changes the word order (e.g., “tests of English” for “English tests”) and changes the grammar (e.g., “being skilful at paraphrasing…” for “Paraphrasing is a very important skill…”) These are the three main ways to paraphrase and by combining all of these methods, you can achieve clear and accurate paraphrased sentences. The next sections will look at these methods in more detail. Paraphrasing Method 1: Use Different Vocabulary with the Same Meaning Most students try to use this method, but actually it can be difficult to use. The reason is that although English has many synonyms such as ‘large’ or ‘big’, it is unusual for these words to have exactly the same meaning. So, if you try to use a lot of synonyms when you paraphrase, you might...

...Strategy | Description | Informal Assessment | Differentiation/ Extension | Provide examples and non-examples | Use the word in an example relevant to students. Providing non-examples requires students to evaluate a word's attributes. | Students provide their own examples and explain why something is not an example. | This can be done orally or in writing, so to differentiate, some students may do the opposite of what the task requires if it helps them. | Writing in context | 1. Students construct sentences of their own making, confirming their understanding of a new word. | Students write their own sentences on the board in a relay fashion after consulting in small groups. | Students may use more than one new word in each sentence to show connections between words. | Word Sorting | Students use a list of words from in class reading and sort them into categories such as parts of speech, titles, or animals. | The teacher can ask students to orally list all the words within one or more of the categories. | Students draw a picture to represent each category of words. | List- Group- Label | Students list all the words related to a specific concept. Then the words are grouped by commonalities. Then each group is labeled. | Students share their lists with the class and add unfamiliar words from other groups. | Create a visual Semantic Map of the words on butcher paper and post on the wall for reference. | Analogies | Students identify similarities and differences between...

...| TEFL 4- Active with words | Home assignments | | | | Nelsi van Cleef | 2012/2013 | | Home assignment I: ICT Using ICT to teach/practice/test vocabulary http://mike.digischool.nl/ This website offers a broad range of subjects for pupils, from History, Turkish and Math, to English. The pupils can click on “Engels” and then on “oefenen”, where they can practice everything that has to do with the English language, for example reading,listening and speaking. Since this is about vocabulary they can click on “woordenschat”. In the vocabulary section they get 4 choices : woordengroepen, spreekwoorden en gezegden, schoolboeken and WRTS-lijsten. In each of these sections they can practice their vocabulary. The “spreekwoorden en gezegden” section especially appealed to me. This section gives a lot of English proverbs with the Dutch translation, by alphabet. Since there are a lot of sayings in Dutch, and the pupils probably know them, they can also learn them in English. As a teacher the teacher can write down a new proverb every day on the board and start the lesson with elaborating on this, for example: “A man’s home is is castle”. The way the teacher can elaborate on this is by putting this proverb in context, asking the pupils what this proverb may be in Dutch (Eigen haard is goud waard), and asking pupils to give an example by using it. www.freerice.com This website is a non-profit website that supports the United Nations World Food Programme...

...Encyclopedia entries are longer and more detailed than those in most dictionaries. Generally speaking, unlike dictionary entries, which focus on linguistic information about words, encyclopedia articles focus on factual information to cover the thing or concept for which the article name stands. (Wikipedia, 2014) The word encyclopedia comes from the Koine Greek transliterated enkyklios paideia, meaning "general education": enkyklios, meaning "circular, recurrent, required regularly, general" + paideia, meaning "education, rearing of a child"; it was reduced to a single word due to an error by copyists of Latin manuscripts. Together, the phrase literally translates as "complete instruction" or "complete knowledge.".Ibid. The word encyclopedia, which to us usually means a large set of books, descends from a phrase that involved coming to grips with the contents of such books. The Greek phrase is enkuklios paideia, made up of enkuklios, "cyclical, periodic, ordinary," and paideia, "education," and meaning "general education." Copyists of Latin manuscripts took this phrase to be a single Greek word, enkuklopaedia, with the same meaning, and this spurious Greek word became the New Latin word encyclopaedia, coming into English with the sense "general course of instruction," first recorded in 1531. In New Latin the word was chosen as the title of a reference work covering all knowledge. The first such use in English is recorded in 1644. (answers.com,...

...Language Education Through Multimedia Programming Learning a new language is not an overnight process; it requires time and effort on both the learner’s end as well as the educator’s end. Language acquisition is far more common than the typical American might believe. There are estimations stating as high as sixty percent of the world’s population is multilingual, meaning language education is far from a new topic (Richards 3). Although the multilingualism rates are not as high in the United States, globally multilingualism is the norm rather than the exception, both historically and presently. There are four different modes in which language is learned: listening, reading, writing, and speaking; all of which have been used since language education came to be in the early twentieth century (Richards 10). As language education has evolved alongside technology, the two have combined and resulted in a recent teaching method using multimedia programming. Many studies have been performed examining the effectiveness of language education through multimedia programs, looking specifically at the methods used amongst the variety of multimedia programs available. The ultimate goal of language education is oral proficiency, followed by reading and writing proficiency. Research on language acquisition has revealed this can most successfully be accomplished by associating unknown words with actual objects or imagery techniques; resulting in the creation of multimedia language educating...

...this poem as a reference to what he is sure will be his own death. However, as I think of this person being a professor would it be an irony that instead of being death it may talk about life as a teacher? For whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee, not to remind us of death but to remind us of our service to Mankinde. Does that bell toll for our students to get to class or does that bell toll to remind us of the commitment we made when we decided to be teachers of those students. Now that I have your attention the following information has been asked of me to be considered as I explain my plan for vocabulary instruction.

She has been a teacher for over 35 years and is very stern in her teaching ways. She loves the dictionary and has it on a podium in front of the classroom.

...for essential stage to acquire new vocabulary • Encouraging interaction in the newly provided scientific terms and learning how to read them. • Divide Words in prefixes and suffixes and use word walls or t charts for that. • Reading some of the chapter paragraphs to implement the use of new words in written sentences. • Provide active participation through shifting, so all students in turn participate and learn the linguistics of words. 2. Teacher uses the important content from each lesson and incorporates it in a number of spoken and written activities, like: • Listening to how the students speak while answering activity questions and re-adjust their pronunciation. • Role model presentations to show how students can present scientific topics to each other. • Use Narrated video for scientific experiments or topics that contains a lot of terminologies with highlighting the keywords. • Use word games at end of the chapters which readily encourages spelling check and oral interaction of words. • Using summary and article writing after partnering and reflection which in turns promote sentences structures development and oral interaction. • Paraphrase any nonadjustable oral communication and show facial expressions for any misunderstood parts.
