English is an international language that is used by the majority countries in communication, business, education, diplomacy, technology, and international organizations. Many countries agree to use English as a global language (Graddol 2006:87). Speakers who are using English more other languages to be the center of communication around the world. The globalization of English influences Thai education; consequently, Thai speakers cannot deny all significant trends around the country. However, we must survive in the competition with others, English language is thus necessary in education. It is a key to improve students’ language knowledge (Paradapat 2011). Thailand uses English language in developing for two aspects. First, English is an important language for Thai citizen in developing the capacity to enhance the international standards. Thai speakers also see others around the world speak English and use it is the universal language of communication in many places. In addition, the speakers who speak English have more opportunities of career achievement. Secondly, English is international language that Thailand needs to improve in education because it is a term of successful goal of ASEAN community in the year 2015. Moreover, English is an official language that using in ASEAN for communication and it affects Thai speakers to improve knowledge of English skill to compete in the economy with other countries (cf.Wright, 2007a; Phillipson, 2003; Tosi, 2003). Even though English is an important language, many countries have languages that represent their cultures; including Thailand has Thai language as a symbol to identify a beautiful culture. Thai speakers use Thai language to be a mother tongue that continues from an an... ... middle of paper ... ...dge (Teale & Sulzby, in press). The main goal of retelling is telling of the stories meaning by learning interactive and cooperative in class. Interaction of retelling stories is also depending on psychology that produce to teachers and students in sharing’s mind; and students retell the story from the ability of retelling stories as independently or autonomously (Teale, 1984). Therefore, this study investigates the use of retelling stories technique to develop speaking English ability and explore of autonomous learning when using retelling stories. Moreover, speaking English is quite important in communication because many foreign countries speak English. In 2015, Thailand will be participated in ASEAN Community to do a commercial market with other neighbor countries that Thai students should improve speaking skill to speak with foreigner (Sriprachayakul, 2013).
1. Growing up we all heard stories. Different types of stories, some so realistic, we cling onto them farther into our lives. Stories let us see and even feel the world in different prespectives, and this is becuase of the writter or story teller. We learn, survive and entertain our selves using past experiences, which are in present shared as stories. This is why Roger Rosenblatt said, "We are a narrative species."
Finally, a single story creates stereotypes of person and humanity before they create their own, it would impacts to themselves, their family, humanity, and education. This would be the most reason why students have to tell ‘multiple stories’ when they inform about something, not a ‘single story’. If a student talks multiple stories, they can fix the errors in the story because they get more information.
Alfred Hitchcock loved playing with genders and sexuality. In several of his films he castrated and demasculinized the man, such as Jefferies (James Stewart) being confined to a wheelchair without the opportunity to move and save a damsel in distress, Lisa (Kelly Grace), when the plot suggests it in Rear Window (1954). In other films, Hitchcock would implicitly place two male leading stars sharing an odd dynamic that suggests of a gay couple in Rope (1948), which turned out to be egregious for such conservative times—prior to the Sexual Liberation movement that began in the 60s. In fact, Hitchcock perpetuated it more than once, bringing back the subject in his 1951 Strangers on a Train, with Bruno (Robert Walker) and Guy (Farley Granger), as
Because humans are the only beings that tell stories, storytelling has become an integral element in human genetic makeup. Stories have been told for as long as mankind learned how to speak and communicate. The practice of storytelling has been passed down through cultural milieus, ballads, parodies, poems, autobiographies, journals, parables, and tales. In fact, many of these narratives have influenced how we learned and shaped our values, morals, and beliefs. Clark & Rossiter (2008) offer that narrative learning through stories, “involves stories heard, stories told, and stories recognized” (p. 65). In light of that, this paper will begin with a brief conception of narrative learning, followed by a personal narrative story that influenced my life as an adult, what was learned from this and why, and finally the importance of narrative learning as it relates to adult learners.
The storytelling is effective since help students to grasp the meaning of stories, such as- teaching important things, making easier to remember, helping solve problems, explaining the unusual, giving an opportunity to share the experiences of others, and channeling the student natural interests with what happens in the story into an effective engraving of God’s timeless truths in their hearts and on their minds. These indirect stories trigger the God’s unconditional love in their gentle
Throughout the field of business management organizations whether profit or non-profit struggle with finding the happy medium between leadership and its organizational culture. For the U.S. Air Force, the challenges become greater as organizational effectiveness and readiness are paramount to the ongoing mission and current world affairs. Previous tenets of leadership involved an authoritarian style, which offered little to no input or feedback from troops often leading to resentment and low levels of effectiveness among countless units (Lyons, Swindler & Offner, 2009).
The Vietnamese language is the mother tongue of over sixty million people that mainly live in the low lands of Vietnam (Churilla, 2000). Cultures that live adjacent to Vietnam use this language in their constant dealings and interactions with them. There are many other people outside of Vietnam that have moved away, and still try to preserve their own native tongue. Compared to other languages, modern day Vietnamese is still quite young, it’s only been around for a little over a century (Tu Dinh Nguyen, 1995).
To understand Thai culture, belief and value, it is important to understand the language use in Thai society. According to sociolinguistic point of view, Thailand is considered the “Diglossia Society”, where there are variety of languages use to serve a specialized function and are used for particular purpose. The purpose of the different language is to serve the different types of people. The standard Thai language is used with normal domain or normal people. Another language is used for “ High Function” or with the higher status domains such as with the monk and with the King and the Royal family. This kind of language is called “ Kam Racha Sap” /
Storytelling is a powerful tool that everybody own and is a part of everyday communication. Telling stories help us to learn about ourselves and others. “The process of finding our voices, naming our lives, and telling our stories is central to what I understand about the experience of empowerment” (Carter, 1994, p. 85). Through storytelling, we learn more about ourselves, our feelings, values and influences to people around us. By being aware of oneself, we acknowledges our “authentic voice with its hopes and fears, questions and confusion” (Carter, 1994, p. 85). We can adapt the stories to fit the specific listeners. Children are then being exposed to body language and facial expressions of the storyteller. It aids in their understanding as they connect to the language. (Isbell, 2002 p. 18). In turn, we help children to understand that they are all storytellers and fosters a sense of self and belonging in safe and secure community, nurturing the growth of self-esteem.

My perceptions of classmates did not change because for the most part because I did not have perceptions of most of the people in the class, and for those who I did have perceptions of, their stories were characteristic of them and did not surprise me. As mentioned in the first question of the reflection, our class was an anomaly, with most of the stories being about vacations. I thought that all of the vacation stories were either humorous or adventurous, but had no deeper meaning to them or “moral of the story.” In contrast, the remaining stories such as Ari’s and Luke’s gave me deeper insights about them because they talked about what was going through their heads in a traumatic situation, and what they took away from that situation. In my opinion, I think that the story exchange has created a more friendly sharing environment so that nobody feels vulnerable while telling a story, although I don’t think that anyone felt uncomfortable sharing a story before the
Storytelling is an interaction between two or more individuals speaking on an event using words, images, sounds, dramatization, props, etc. Stories or narratives are shared for the purpose of education, entertainment, cultural preservation, or teaching lessons. Narratives aren 't just interesting because of the story being told but how the story is being told. Narratives have many features that not only group them together but differentiate them as well. The person who is narrating the story is also given insight to when listening to, reading, or watching a
establish and maintain friendship; to construct and communicate a sense of self; to recast events in ways that are satisfying; and to participate in their culture. Kumar (1992) talked about real gains of storytelling as it promotes good listening; gives children training in prediction that further reinforces the child’s confidence in his/her ability to predict; to experience the world around them and gives meaning to their words. He further appreciated storytelling for its ‘pluralistic inheritance’ and that it should be celebrated as an oral heritage.
For example, business activities always use English. Some multinational enterprises company require employee to have a high level English skill, so that they can communicate with the partner very easily. Good communication can obtain high benefit in business. Many people of multinational company use English as a world language. You will hear business people use English in many cities. They need to understand English and use English to express thoughts and ideas. Also, English is always used in education. When teacher use English to teach, student can learn a lot of words that can be use in different subject. If student do not learn English as well, they should spend much more time on their study, not only in the knowledge, but also in English. Nowadays, more and more people learn English and English become more important to Chinese. Not only must children learn English from kindergarten but also people who do not understand English cannot work at government (IBJ, 2014). Therefore, English is considered as global
Even though there are advantages as well as disadvantages, the need for international language for communication, politics, economics and security is necessary and English is the best “language candidate” for that function. English is a language spread all over the world and it is used by millions and millions of speakers. According to my opinion, people should use English as a tool to communicate with all cultures but every country must keep their culture and language is a great part of it. In conclusion, language defines identity of a country and everyone should keep their language and explore others.
