Language is the way humans communicate with eachother. Most of us use it verbally, many use it in writing and other use sign language in order to communicate. Language is part of almost everything amongst us, we read it or hear it on a daily basis. If we are driving we read signs on the road, when we buy stuff we read labels and we could not read without knowing the language, and when we speak we also use language. But language does not stand alone, linguistics is a huge part of it. In my opinion, linguistics is by far one of the most intriguing subjects and classes I have ever taken before. I believe it is a subject everyone seems to be familiar with, yet not really aware of how and why we know the gist of it. Linguistics is the scientific study of human language and its structure, we study language because it teaches us how to communicate with others. Language is everywhere and part of our everyday lives, we use language to communicate with everyone around us. For many communication is vital as part of our jobs and for others it is a form of expression. Language is something that can make us feel wonderful and happy, if someone compliments you, it makes you feel good, but it is also something that can be used to hurt and make people cry, it is a powerful tool humans have. Language whether it be verbal or not has meaning and we must know the basics in order to communicate effectively. In linguistics we learn about the different perspective of language and the different
Distinctively visual representations allow the audience to envisage different purposes crafting emotions which stay with us forever. Graphic depiction is a fundamental characteristic within distinctively visual, thus the audience is able to be exposed to the intense illustrations exemplified by composers. Spudvilla’s portrayal of “Woolvs in the sitee” demonstrates the child’s inability to reconcile with himself. Contrasting to this notion; the playwright “Shoe-horn Sonata” to expose the brutal reality of POW camps during WWII. Therefore, distinctively visual forces the audience to succumb to the barriers society creates.

The English language is particularly complex in almost all aspects. Many of the words in the English language have different meanings for the same word. This is not unlike the definition of the different levels of usage. McCrimmon defines the three levels, formal, moderate, and colloquial, by their sentence structure, diction, and tone (McCrimmon 193). ¹ Using McCrimmon’s definitions, authors can determine what type of writing is applicable to each of the three levels. For the formal writings, an adequate example of where readers can find it is in a professional journal, and an appropriate place to find an example of the moderate level is in a weekly news magazine. Also, the best place to look for an example of the colloquial level is in certain sections of the newspaper. All of the levels of usage apply to these different types of writings and assist in defining what each level involves.
Many of their learning needs are similar to those of other children and young people learning in our schools. However, these learners also have distinct and different needs from other learners by virtue of the fact that they are learning in and through another language, and that they come from cultural backgrounds and communities with different understandings and expectations of education, language and learning”. (NALDIC, 1999).
Language is the way people communicate with each other. It allows us/them to express their thoughts and impart information through writing or speech. However, this exchange is not necessarily always objective as words and their meaning can/may be tainted by the speaker’s intentions. In politics, language is not only a powerful tool to conceal the truth and influence the public’s opinion but also a weapon against their opponents.
Presently there is a rising number of English Language Learners (ELLs) entering into classrooms all over the country. According to the three research studies that I utilized, there are several varied assessment approaches for teaching ELLs in reading (Davis-Lenski, Ehlers-Zavala, Daniel, & Sun-Irminger, 2006; Dreher, & Letcher-Gray, 2009; Ebe, 2010). English Language Learners (ELLs) consistently struggle with some aspects of reading because, they lack background knowledge in terms of the generalized text selections, which they are often given (Davis-Lenski, Ehlers-Zavala, Daniel, & Sun-Irminger, 2006; Dreher, & Letcher-Gray, 2009; Ebe, 2010). The data across all three journal documents agrees that there is an achievement gap where ELLs
Do you think Official English laws inflame prejudice against immigrants or provide all newcomers with a common standard of admission to the country’s political and cultural mainstream? That’s a good question because I was going to say if you go to another country to live; like say, Mexico, you should learn their language because if you don’t you are going to be lost in that country but Mexico isn’t going to force you to learn their language. I don’t think the United States should not force immigrates to learn English but if they are going to live, work and get out government benefits then yes thy should be taught
The Tropfest films Road Rage (2006) and Lemonade Stand (2012) both represent Australian stories and Australian voices. Both of the films explore the representation of Australians and show many different aspects of Australian culture. The film Road Rage expounds a different more emotional side to the typical stereotype of Australian men. Lemonade Stand also represents Australian culture, through the use of themes such as mateship and the Aussie Battler. Both of the films through the use of mis-en-scene and a variety of different visual and oral techniques show key aspects of Australian culture,

If I say that I am currently employed with a major petroleum distribution center, you may think that I am a highly qualified person making limitless amounts of money. However, I am using the power of language to merely say that I work at a gas station making minimum wage. Great historical figures throughout history have used the power of language, the ability to use words to their advantage, to inspire people to unite under one common cause and to change the world.
Most classrooms across America are multilingual learning environments. It is important that educators make sure all students feel welcome in the classroom beginning the first day of school so they can thrive in their education. Having a welcome sign in different languages as the students enter the classroom on the first day of school can help the students to feel like they are welcomed. When a student feels comfortable in his or her environment their minds can be at ease giving them a better opportunity at learning. This is especially important for English language learners. They are already presented with multiple challenges as they work their way through the school system so feeling welcomed and comfortable in their learning environment can be beneficial. An educator who create a curriculum to reach all students develop more successful students. Although all teachers are not bilingual and equipped to teach ELL students educators can use teaching strategies to make sure all students are learning to their fullest potential. This paper will discuss some of the struggles English language learners have, the struggles teachers are faced with along with some techniques that can used, and the benefits of making a classroom for everyone.
Language is something that we need and use for everything in our lives. Language is, “a symbolic communication system that is learned instead of biologically inherited.” (O’Neil, 2006). Language is communication that is either written down or spoken in words or sentences. We need to have a good understanding of language to learn, work and for our normal lives. You need to know language to be able to communicate with other people. Language has structure and meaning, for example words and sentences. Language also had tone, pitch, pace and volume. There are several types of language, receptive language, expressive language, emergent language. Receptive language is how you receive and understand language and expressive language is how
“A language is a system of conventional signals used for communication by a whole community”- A. C. Gimson. Language is an essential tool for communication as well as for self-expression. Language can be considered as a habit which is not genetically transmitted. It is acquired from the environment and therefore it is always subject to change. Language and linguistics go hand in hand. Language is a network of varieties and linguistics is the discipline that deals with the scientific study of language and its variations like dialect, registers, pidgin, Creole, etc.
In contemporary society the Standard variety of English is the most commonly used as it is respected and associated with a higher prestige. Its usage is also advocated by prescriptivists who believe that it is the ‘correct’ and only variety that should be used. Standard English is usually seen in formal settings, where its usage is necessary for official and public purposes. However, contextual factors play a vital role in determining the most appropriate variety to be used, which is supported by the Principle of Appropriateness. Certain contexts where a non-standard variety is necessary are in social media settings and in communities of different ethnicities, where they are undeniably required to create solidarity between speakers.
