Abakar Baraka Mrs. Tschirhart English III AP- 5 September 22, 2014 Aria: A Memoir Of a Bilingual Childhood Discussion Questions 1) Richard Rodriguez ’s essay can be read as a discussion of two detached educational philosophies— educating in the public language and bilingual education .The first method, educating in the public language is teaching the student in the language of the society instead of the language that they are used to at home. With this method of education, the student creates a clear distinction between the public language and the language spoken at home, which becomes a “private language” to be spoken only at home. The student develops the idea that the “private language” is not socially acceptable or appropriate and

The debate between supporters of Pro-Bilingual Education and Pro-English Education is a battle that will stand the test of time. In recent years, it has become a politicized dispute and is no longer just a language issue. It has become an issue of culture. English will continue to be the dominant language of the United States, but the population of LEP students will continue to grow.
Module Response 5: Bilingual Education Programs & Teaching Bilingually 1 Based on your new, or perhaps revised, understanding of bilingual education programs and the rationale for teaching English learners in the U.S. bilingually, and maybe even based on your own experiences teaching in the schools, what do you believe is the best way to teach English learners a) the English language, b) academic language and content, c) critical thinking skills, d) skills that would prepare them for post-secondary education, e) experiences that would help them to lead productive lives in our global society? The Texas Education Agency (TEA) defines English Language Learner (ELL) as a “Student of limited English proficiency” means a student whose primary language
While we generally think of cooking to be a skill rather than an art, Babette proves that it is indeed an art and should not be discredited. An art is simply an expression of creativity, generally in a physical form. Babette certainly shows a great level of creative expression, creating a meal which, though foreign to the community, changes their perspective and allows for the reinstatement of spirit within their party. When Babette first comes to Berlevaag she cooks without excess, her food is “as plain as possible” (pg 7) and we are unable to see the artistry she is capable. It is only once Babette spends all of her winnings in the lottery on a glorious feast, however, that we finally are able to understand how talented and passionate she
Moses Maximov Jorge Villalobos English 100 September 22, 2014 Bilingual Education Draft 1 Bilingual education is a term that describes the different kind of educational programs such as English as a Second Language. Bilingual education methods involve teaching students school subjects in their native tongue, while they are being taught English. The main purpose is to keep the children from falling behind in other subjects while they are learning English. This program is provided to teach English as a second language until the students are ready to be in all English class setting. There is an ongoing debate where people are in favor of bilingual education, and against it; however, I believe that bilingual education should not be implemented in K-12 because and it is too costly for United States government to maintain this program, and it may create a slow learning
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world,” Nelson Mandela. Education has always been one of the most influential keys to life in society. However, this key is more prevalent today than ever before. For millions of people, their childhood and teenage years consist of schooling. The Common Core was introduced nationwide in 2009, and this curriculum has forever changed American education.
While common core can be argued that it creates higher standard of education, removing it would be a fine by many teachers in Florida. Removing common core would take less stress off of the educators and in-turn students alike. Common core does not even accuraltely judge a child's knowledge effictively. It is for these reasons that if Common core is removed, that it would benefit the educational system. Common core adds stress to teachers.
This is because culture has been seen as a great factor that influences the learning of students while still in schools. As an educator I will be able to understand that the students under my care come from different backgrounds and their learning preferences might differ. This will be important as I will be able to figure out programs that would fit to the requirements of these students coming from backgrounds that are diverse. This will enable me to provide an environment that is caring and make their accommodation comfortable therefore promoting their learning. However, despite this hostility the issue of bilingual education has proved to be effective to the students who use English as their second
The ever-evolving world contribute learners, educators, school administrators, scholars and everyone involved in education; to face a series of challenges during the 21st century. Certain factors such as immigration, the pursuit of job and education abroad, technology, and globalization have provoke bilingualism and biliteracy to become two of the most important challenges for the new millennium. Nowadays, there are more people on the world becoming bilingual than monolingual. Hence, bilingualism is worth studying than monolingualism. Besides, it enhances the understanding of human language faculty (Myers-Scotton, 2006).
Bilingualism in Schools Sophia Y Learning a second language can greatly improve people's lives; it helps them and their countries in a very large number of ways. Multilingual people are far more successful in life because the knowledge of a second language opens up a great deal more opportunities (Fotheringham, 2018). Bilingualism is scientifically proven to improve cognitive performance (Brockless, 2017). It can also positively impact how empathetic a person is (Ruiz, 2017). In addition, having more bilinguals can improve the economy (Wagers, 2018).
Introduction Bilingual education is an academic approach followed by some instructors, which is using the native language for new English learners for instructions. Within the international context, bilingual education has become a necessity due to the high number of immigration, colonialism and the great number of local languages (Yushau, B. & Bokhari, M.A, 2005). This approach in instruction has reflected back positively or negatively in many dimensions such as social, psychological, and pedagogical. However, bilingual education instruction is an effective way of teaching English as a second language, in case of well implementation it can be seen as an educational advantage. This literature covers a wide variety of opinions that revolves around a topic that researchers find it controversial, this review will highlight the major question and findings which emerge in order throughout the literature.
However, “the clear conclusion emerging from data sets is that even in two California districts that are considered some of the most successful in teaching English to LEP students, oral proficiency takes 3 to 5 years to develop, and academic English proficiency can take 4 to 7 years. The data from the two school districts in Canada offer corroboration” (Hahta, Butler, Witt. 2000, p. 2) There is a common fallacy that bilingual education or bilingualism will have adverse effects on the learning of the majority language. Cummins (n.d.) states “A finding common to all forms of bilingual education is that spending instructional time through two languages entails no long-term adverse effects on students’ academic development in the majority language. This pattern emerges among both majority and minority language students, across widely varying sociolinguistic and sociopolitical contexts, and in programs with very different organizational structures”
Have you ever been in a situation where you’ve been made fun of, or heard someone else being made fun of? I am sure the answer to that question is yes. Or maybe, you’ve insulted someone else without realizing the true meaning behind it? Ultimately, this is because language is more powerful than we think. Words and language can be used as weapons, and it may be hard for people to understand that certain words can be thought of as insulting to someone else but may not seem that way towards you.
