  • Female ELL Student Analysis

    314 Words  | 1 Pages

    Many female ELL students are coming from countries that may not place importance on the education of females past a certain level which may be an educational demotivator for many of our students. Much of the job as an ELL teacher is to develop a relationship with the students, one of trust where they are comfortable enough to make mistakes and to ask questions for clarification on the background and vocabulary that they do not understand. The use of language is transactional, where we are constantly negotiating meaning to make ourselves understood. A student’s identity is closely linked with who they are in society or what they view their societal role should be. Learners are conditioned by the encounters that they have experienced, and how

Rather everyone in the workshops is working together. Here dialogue is more direct and meaningful and applied to each student’s style of learning. The sole purpose behind this idea is that both students and teacher share work and experiences within a safe and comfortable environment. The “Community of learners” seeks to eradicate oppression. These consist of caring and loving environments and promote a sense of belonging among students while providing authentic encouragement. These types of models, such as the problem posing and the “community of learners” inspire new ways of thinking if adopted properly. It is important to keep in mind that everyone in society has something significant to contribute.

    All of us are trained in the use of speech, to communicate what we mean in a way that other people will understand. And most of the time, others understand what we mean. In a telephone conversation, we communicate through speech alone. In a face-to-face meeting, part of the communication is carried in a non-verbal form, what is often called “body language” or “body movement”. In the next paragraphs, I am going to show what are the positive and negative of “body language” and why it is important to us.

  • Body Language Essay

    1314 Words  | 3 Pages

    The current multilingual society places an emphasis on the knowledge and application of language, be it English, Spanish, Chinese, etc. However, there is one universal language, commonly overlooked, that links every ethnicity and cultural background together: body language. Despite this omnipresent quality of body cues, the majority of the public does not understand the impact body language creates and the information it provides about a person. Every individual, regardless of age, sex, culture, and ethnicity, exhibits these uncontrollable gestures. From an instantaneous dilation of the eyes to a subtle turn of the feet, these involuntary actions become the key to unlocking the mind of an individual. Body language, however, does have variations such as between genders and regions. Male body language is generally more assertive and aggressive than that of females. The term body language includes all forms of communication without spoken words such as facial expressions, presentation of oneself, arm gestures, distance between two people, etc. (Pease) Verbal communication is used to express factual information while non-verbal language is used for “negotiating interpersonal attitudes.” (Beattie) This non-verbal communication has its roots during the primitive periods of development and is the link between humans and their evolutionary roots. Although humans have separated themselves from the ‘lower minds’ of animals through spoken language, people still demonstrate these involuntary movements in their everyday routines. Body language is an intrinsic mechanism which reveals the individual’s state of mind by forcing the external body to reflect the int...

    The class was English and students were still preparing for the new school year. The teacher spent some time continuing to get to know her students, which often led to wordy and time consuming answers by students. However, in the end, this could build a stronger relationship between teachers and students. In this observation, I found this technique beneficial and in the post-observation, I noted that asking the students “What is the lesson we’re learning?” led to a stronger connection to students and the goal and objectives of the

This can inform individuals to better understand the use of body language when conversing with other people. It is also important to take into account individual differences. Different cultures use different non-verbal gestures. Frequently, when observing these gestures alone the observer can get the wrong impression, for instance, the listener can subconsciously cross their arms. This does not mean that they are bored or annoyed with the speaker; it can be a gesture that they are comfortable with. Viewing gestures as a whole will prevent these misunderstandings. Non-verbal gestures are not only physical, for example; the tone of voice addressing a child will be different from the way it is addressed to an adult.

    Education is an ever-changing part of society. A classroom teacher is faced with new challenges and obstacles that have never been dealt with before. Students come to the classroom with different life stories. Every student has strengths and weaknesses that surface in the classroom environment. Teachers must understand and focus on utilizing each student's strengths and work to improve weaknesses. Students learn in a variety of ways. The classroom must be a safe zone that appreciates student's viewpoints and allows room for mistakes. When topics in the classroom are related to "real-life" experiences, the information is more likely to be retained. Students learn from one another. The ideas and perspectives that each student brings to the classroom can bring insight into what is being learned. Students have to be allowed to explore new ideas, try them to see if they work, and sometimes fail. When students are encouraged to explore, they begin the process of becoming lifelong learners.
