ESL 5

ESL 5 is good class and interesting class. I still remember the first day of my attendance when I first walked in the classroom without knowing how to deal with complicate college-essays. For now, I can understand what are the main focus of each type of college-essay and how to begin with a rough idea and then develop a good organization with central idea. I have to say that this class is so different than those ESL classes I have ever taken in the past. Learning advance reach and compositional skills, college level fiction and non-fiction readings, novel interpretation essay, I believe everyone in this class enjoy the unique class contents during the past three months. With a such interesting class and team-work styles, ESL 5 class …show more content…

From the in class social media exercise and author invitation activities, I worked with instructor and group members to create a new social media tool. It became new experience I never had. I also engaged in the exercise for “Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist” interpretation. The novel itself is so different than the reading material I had in previous ELS classes. It first led my focus form reading the book to knowing the reason why the author chose the name for the novel. It was all because of the class exercises and activities. In the beginning I was not really interested in the detail of the background information of this novel. However, with those video activities and encouragements from Cathy, I began to research on the background information of the author. And of course, I discovered many information that are related to the novel. I think reading those description also helped me to improve ability in academic reading. Another good example of creative learning experiment was the marshmallow challenge. That exercise taught me about working with a group of people with different …show more content…

Because of the Ai technologies, I reduced so much time for searching unknown vocabulary by using paper dictionally. The research essay assignment provided me good opportunity for online researches. Through the library searches, I found that AIs are really creating a different benefits for schools and companies. The articles and online resource I found from google displayed how to use OSx and Windows 10 for quick research. It offered me a important resource to

  • Service Learning Class Reflection

    680 Words  | 2 Pages

    Most of the readings in the class focused on civically engaged activity that helped me to reflect on my personal and other people efforts to bring changes in society and the world. Through class readings I learned on what people are doing, and why are they doing certain activities or action in the society. The readings assisted me to reflect more on my journey about the past and the future. I reflected on the 11 years I lived in Brazil as a volunteer missionary, giving service to the marginalized. I testified the unjust system that hinders the poor and favor the rich or people of power. Some of the readings like

  • How Did Clarisse Change In Fahrenheit 451

    537 Words  | 2 Pages

    I found several ideas stated by other students to be quite intriguing. For example, Drew and Sophie discussed that the people in Fahrenheit 451 were being programmed just like the hounds. I found this interesting because an individual does not always acknowledge people manipulating others and controlling their thoughts. The fact that they are unable to think for themselves is awful and inhumane. People deserve to be able to know what can hurt them—such as drugs or alcohol—but they were unable to gain that information in their society. Also, Martha believes that Clarisse only showed up just to “get into” Montag’s head. On the contrary, I believe that Clarisse was a peculiar person who managed to change a man’s life.

    Teaching ELL students can be a challenging role, but it is an important one. I realize how dedicated these teachers are to their students. I also realize how important the proper training is to the teacher and think I will be better prepared because of the classes I am taking. Even though teaching ELL can tough, it is a very rewarding experience. I look forward to helping the ELL students in my own classroom and can use the information from this survey to continue to support their growth.

  • Reflection Of Writing: 'The Achievement Of Desire'

    1712 Words  | 4 Pages

    I feel as though this class has helped me become a more polished and professional writer. When I first entered English 110, I was extremely unsure and lacked confidence in my writing. I believe that this point can be partly attributed to the fact that I had always had my instructors holding my hand and helping me through the writing process in high school. My senior English teacher always reminded us that college would be much more challenging than her class was and then she would go on to tell us stories of professors who gave out zeros for tiny oversights within a paper. This combined with general apprehension about college life left me terrified. I had always been a strong writer in high school; I know how to form an argument and support

  • Independent Reading Project: Creating a Museum of Living Literature

    To add some variety to traditional teaching and learning strategies, a teacher might design an independent project where students work in teams and focus collaboratively on a single novel from the twentieth century. Each team would read a selected book and work together to create artifacts that would be shared with the other teams. Through collaborative work and sharing, students would be able to grasp the concepts and connections of several works of literature. The project outlined in section 5 will target twentieth century literature.

  • The Importance Of Literacy In Schools

    1750 Words  | 4 Pages

    When observing and studying ELLs, there are many advantages and disadvantages in a classroom and school for these students. In the classroom, ELL students have many individual opportunities to develop their literacy, especially in small reading groups. English learners also, are pulled aside by an ESL teacher during class hours to focus on reading and writing skills of English. According to Netten, Droop, and Verhoeven (2010), reading is “an activity which benefits from practice” (414). Many of these students struggle to become literate at a young age, but the more practice they receive the better they will become when focusing on developing literacy. Also, ELL students have an advantage when learning two languages because this makes them bilingual. The goal of bilingual education is to develop

  • Eg 105: A Reflection

    710 Words  | 2 Pages

    English 105 was a very helpful class. I hadn’t taken an English class since my first semester of senior year so it was good to brush up on my skills. The order of papers that we did was also encouraging because the farther we got in the semester, the harder the papers got. We started small and worked our way up to a 10-page paper. I didn’t believe that I would be able to write as many pages as was necessary, but my research was thorough enough that I had to cut information out. That was one of my proudest moments in this class. In English 105 I learned how to write a rhetorical analysis, a research paper, and an evaluation.

    This course has provided me with the insight and knowledge to know that English Language Learners are really valuable to our classrooms and that they may become discouraged because they feel discriminated or unaccepted. Through the stories of our classmates I have learned that my role as teacher is very important for these students and that I must work hard to make them part of my classroom and set them up with the tools to succeed in their education. As my classmates mentioned during our discussions, it can be very frustrating and often times discouraging.

  • Seminar Reflection

    We were asked to specify our personalized outcomes in the beginning of the year, one of the most important parts of this for me was critical thinking. Critical thinking is an easy phrase to understand however is a more difficult process to actually follow through with. I wanted to find multiple senses of the text. Seminar taught me skills in which I have become more comfortable with analyzing a text. For example, through asking questions and annotating my book I have been able to understand more of the author’s intentions. In class when discussing Virginia Woolf’s “ How to read a book” I added more than twenty annotations to my book during the discussion. Along, with many of my peers I was at first dreading to read this essay because I thought this was going to be a borin...

    English language has been rated as one of the most important international languages nowadays. It has been found at primary levels around the world. Teaching English as a foreign language is not an easy task and need a lot of hard work, especially for young learners. However, starting earlier is not the solution for producing better English speakers. EFL teachers of young learners have to follow some strategies and techniques to understand and teach young learners better. YL Students who aged 5-12 can not spend two or three hours sitting on chairs and listening to teachers lectures as adults do. They lose interest more quickly and less able to keep motivated on tasks for long time because these students have short attention spans and are easily distracted. YL Students will be usually learning very basic material but a skillful teacher has to design creative lessons that get students attention and participation during the class, such as moving around and speaking with one another. Interacting with each other improves their communication skills and even building confidence in using the language. In addition, young learners are generally very enthusiastic at this level about songs and games. In order to encourage everyone to participate, it is important to include your sessions with different types of songs and active games to make the lessons relaxed and fun. The teacher should be able to create different activities to encourage and activate students that everyone can enjoy learning in.

  • My English Class

    946 Words  | 2 Pages

    Before entering this class, I thought I was prepared for college English. I had incredibly capable high school English teachers, who taught me detailed mechanics, creative writing style, and of course, the necessity of practicing good grammar. On entering this class, I quickly realized how little I had actually learned in my high school English classes. While most of my high school English essays I wrote were based on literature, the majority of the essays I wrote in this class have been more experiential and centered on real-life issues. I expected to be writing essays on books I read and articles I analyzed, but that was not the case. This class showed me in a variety of ways that things are often very different than they seem originally
