Before the 19th century, English was not considered a discipline and the purpose of it is still debated. Throughout the years, new cultural, social, and philosophical trends have influenced the way English is taught and studied. During module 1, different videos were shown, and several readings were assigned that helped me to relate all the material. In this synthesis essay, I will describe what I learned throughout the videos and the readings by making connections among them.
Grade 12 University level English should not be mandatory for admission into all universities programs. I believe this because many people who are wanting to go into university may really struggle in English. This becomes an inevitable problem for aspiring students since the college level English is not considered in university. I agree that English is an important subject and should be a mandatory course in Grade 12, however knowing that students are not as successful in it. I think there should be an option of College/University level English that would allow students that have difficulty, pursue their studies in a university.

Despite a relatively ignorable population of people coming from non-English backgrounds, education is primarily conducted in the English language. However, the issue at hand is not primarily at the cultural limitation but the fact that “monolingualism” is still the standard that is practiced in most schools in America. Introduction In an article entitled “6
Educators and students alike have historically argued over the significances of offering various alternative language courses. One recent yet continuing argument that takes place on American college campuses is the importance of college students taking foreign language classes. The issue that bothers students is whether or not the foreign language courses should be required to graduate from college. Some people believe that this idea is overstepping set boundaries, while others believe that it is progressive steps in the right way. The absurd idea that the rest of world will conform and learn standard American English is laughable.
Speaking English is rarely observed. The intermediate or +2 level acts as a bridge between school level education and higher level education. Considering the students from intermediate board, much emphasis is given to core subjects and students are thoroughly prepared for IIT, AIEEE, BITSAT, EAMCET etc. During these two years study, the learners are not exposed to language learning be it English, Sanskrit or Hindi expect for two or three months before the final examinations. Language is learnt as a subject to pass or acquire a very good percentage.
Language is also supported throughout different types of activities that support the EYLF and curriculum. One example is art and how there are many different experiences it offers children to be able to express themselves through various mediums such as music, movement, dance and craft. These mediums offer a tremendous opportunity to support literacy skills and assist in the development of language. Dance is an example, for an activity where children can experience and not only learn about the way animals move, but also the animals names are in Aboriginal words for example, Kangaroo. Therefore, educators will firstly need to find out from their local Aboriginal community of what animals are native to the area in which the preschool is located.
Foreign languages are offered in many high schools nationwide in the United States. However, learning a language so late in one’s life does have its downsides. A person might speak with the vocabulary of a small child by the age of sixteen. There are numerous other reasons why languages should be taught early on. Foreign languages should be taught in elementary schools because learning a language provides cognitive benefits, is easy for children in particular, and is useful in the work force.
With that much variation with modern-day English, attention must be made by educators to how the variation has occurred. Accordingly, they must also respond in a manner that exemplifies equal learning opportunities for all classes and cultures (Boyd & Brock, 2014, p.19). Educators also acknowledge that literacy is an enhancement of the written and spoken language (Gee & Hayes, 2011, p.11). Rich-meaning literacy lessons encourage students to become engaged with all literacies; these literacies encompass the elements of the written word, visual and audio media, digital and multimedia texts (Green & Campbell, 2006, p.6). The period in time, geographical location, cultural influences and social-standing, all play an equally important role in the creation of the English language.
Introduction: The English language is generally acknowledged as a global language, in view of its numerous functions and preference over several other languages around the globe. The tradition of English teaching has been drastically changed with the remarkable entry of technology. Technology provides so many options as making teaching interesting and also making teaching more productive in terms of improvements. Technology is one of the most significant drivers of both social and linguistic change. At present the role and status of English is that it is the language of social context, political, socio cultural, business, education, industries, media, library, communication across borders, and key subject in curriculum and language of imparting education.
Its originality can be seen in the in scription of the map and accurate orientation. In ancient Greece, even if Homer was n ot a mapmaker, his geographical descriptions in Iliad and Odyssey almost made readers to regard him as a master cartographer. Hesiod’s poems written probably durin g the 8th century BCE gave the statement of the ancient geography. Through the lyr ics of Works and Days and Theogony he showed to scholars of his generation some defin ite geographical knowledge.

Elia Urumova 12/1 Problems of the Modern Education System Research Paper The origins of the educational system in Europe comes from the tenth century, where it was created to train the clergy.
