In the article by Kyle Wein “I Won’t Hire People Who Use Poor Grammar. Here’s Why.” explains reasons as to why the owner of a business only hires educated, employees. If someone cannot tell the difference between simple words such as there, their, and they’re, the manager will not hire that applicant. That’s not the only thing Wein looks for in an employee. He is looking for smart, educated, employees who use good grammar. “Yes, language is constantly changing, but that doesn’t make grammar unimportant.

In the article “I won’t hire people who use poor grammar here’s why.” published in Harvard business review on managing yourself, Kyle Wiens argues that he have a zero approach which does not allow for any grammar mistake because it makes people stupid, and he believes that people who made mistake in grammar do not deserve to have a job. Further, he supports his thesis by stating that people who made an error in their writing will do error in their work and their life. In addition, he claims that language is constantly changing, but that does not ignore the importance of the grammar. Thus, this claim is supported by stating that good grammar is credibility.

It might be necessary to weigh the worth of grammar in proper English. The world for those who speak it is becoming smaller. Proper English is becoming part of an elitist group which is also becoming smaller. Possibly less stress should be put on grammar. Few people understand perfect business language but a growling cat is understood quite well. English grammar is a created language, having both seperatist powers and anglocentric values. Voice is universal and quite older than grammar. Standards within English speaking areas must be questioned soon for it is becoming smaller and less powerful everyday. A rising population will require social skills. Seperating these from educated grammar will lead to greater problems.(One country under God...)
To begin with, using Standard English is a great way to succeed in the workforce. Whether it is a corporate, retail or food service job it conveys education and intelligence. It shows you have the ability to express yourself clearly. When you talk people will pay attention to you and what you’re saying rather than being distracted by your poor grammar. For example, when I went for a job interview at Foot Locker I was hired on the spot for the way I spoke and carried myself. The hiring manager was impressed with the way I answered each question. It was said in such a sophisticated manner that it set me apart from the other candidates who applied for the same job. You do not have a second chance at a first impression. Poor English skills can make a bad first impression. It conveys that you are poorly educated or simply do not care. In my case it can make the difference of whether you get hired for a job or not. A...
After reading the two articles and watching the videos, I have learned that grammar can have a huge impact on the way people see you. With people using so much social media, the way people have started to talk to each other is to try and convey a message as quick as possible with as little words as possible. People forgot that when they go into a professional setting that have to take the time to think about what they say before they say it, unlike with their friends you will not have a second chance if you accidentally mess something up. I have also learned that the rules change as the times do, and something that people would do thirty years ago may not really apply for today, especially since news words are constantly being added to the
In math, the importance of foundations is emphasized in every lesson. As I am often told by my girlfriend, “Sure, I can do calculus, but don’t expect me to count to four.” I relate to nothing more when it comes to my relationship with written English. I can string together sentences and write an essay, but please do not ask me the difference between who and whom, and god forbid I need to use a semicolon. Somehow, I reached my senior year in the English department and I haven’t gotten a grasp on things that are culturally considered part of a basic education. English is a lot like math. There are variables that need to be placed into a formula but we no longer teach how these variables work. In the first chapter of Mark Lester’s “Grammar and Usage in the Classroom” the devolution of grammar education in the American classroom is examined,
I consider both of ideas and proper English grammar are important. In academic writing, the students have to put their own ideas and make researches to support his/her academic paper. Copying other’s ideas is unacceptable in academic writing and it will be plagiarism. That is why the student’ own idea is very important. On the other hand, proper English grammar is also important. Even though the student’s idea is very good and strong, the text needs to be grammatically true. Typos, spelling mistakes, and grammatical errors leave a bad taste. Therefore, both of ideas and proper English grammar are important.
Proper grammar in a workplace is vital. When speaking or typing our expressions are shown. Without using word efficiently, words tend to become false or misleading. The purpose of school is to educate us on the values needed in our future careers. Grammar was something stressed throughout all grades along with classes. In just about any classroom, proper grammar is expected when writing, presenting and even talking to someone of higher authority. Proper grammar is essential in a workplace to save money, save face and save time.
In the article entitled “How to Teach Grammar, Analytical Thinking, and Writing”, Lynn Sams (2003) voiced and suggested methods on how grammar and writing should be taught in the classroom. This article was published in the English Journal by the National Council of Teachers of English. Sams based her research on her 16 years of experience as a high school teacher and the instructional approaches she used with her sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth grade classes. Sams refers to grammar as “the relationship between structure and meaning” (57). The information in this article demonstrates processes of analyzing the structure of sentences and suggests students cannot completely understand writing without first understanding the basic concepts of grammar.
There are many approaches in regards to the teaching of grammar and not all of them are successful. The different approaches do derive from the way that teachers are taught to teach the subject and the way that they believe the subject should be taught. Teachers feel that certain approaches work better than others based on the success that their students have in their classroom. However, not every teacher takes that into consideration because they teach the way that they feel is best. I think that the most effective approaches to teaching grammar are the explicitly teaching method, linguistic perspective and traditional teaching methods. Those methods have successful outcomes the majority of the time and they make sure that the students are learning what they actually need to learn. It is crucial to focus on making sure that the students are learning every aspect of grammar rather than pieces and parts because it will affect their application and understanding of grammar as a whole. The different methods that are brought up throughout the paper allows for a better understanding of the methods that have been widely used by teachers and the reasons as to why they used those particular
The purpose of this study was to see if the grammar innovation worked well with students at Nong Lam University – Center for Foreign Studies, at the division 4, at Bien Hoa city, and to see if the traditional methods in teaching grammar were still effective in such a place with particular students in this area in Viet Nam.
...ough, is the education and the community the person was brought up in. Improper grammar can also give way to social class. Poor grammar usually hints a low social class. Conclusively, incorrect grammar can be caused by ignorance or lethargy. Are we willing to better our society and fix this grammar problem, though? If we are willing then we could be the beginning of a chain of proper grammar for generations to come.
Susan Adams and Kyle Weins have both written articles on the importance of using good grammar in the workplace. Each article gives numerous compelling reasons why this is a good practice. Susan Adams’ article first reason for doing so is in regards to how other people would view someone who uses bad grammar. She brings out that someone’s image can be damaged when they have improper speech habits; consequently their chances of advancing at work could be limited. Second, she shows how using poor grammar could cause a manager to view an employee as unorganized or unable to perform more advanced tasks. Finally, she brings out that someone who has poor speaking habits could be perceived as not having a firm grasp on the subject they are speaking about (Adams). Kyle Weins article also brings out some important points on bad grammar in the workplace. First, he shows that in today’s world people’s intelligence is judged based on what they say or what they type. The second point relates to how a manager could perceive someone with poor grammar. A manager could see an employee who uses poor grammar as someone who struggles to concentrate on tasks and doesn’t show attention to detail. Finally, he shows that peo...
