Introduction of Myself

I'm very honest, I like sincerity from others and me.

I ENJOY: Good friendships, conversations, a good book, freedom and expressing myself, being with people I love and what's good music for me, but specially my love to GOD.

I HATE: Lies, hipocrisy, rumors, critical people and comparisons.

I LOVE: What I selected as a future, I love teaching and my family and boyfriend.

I WISH: Only one thing, that I could have my Daddy with me.

I ALWAYS: Give my best on anything I do.

Chapter 2- Grammar Schmidt

Reflection:

Grammar is not only a set of rules that tell us how to write or speak, but it helps us a lot while doing it.

ESL teachers develop some skills such as repetition, transformation, question and answer, etc. to help their students remember the information correctly and prevent them from understanding messages or information incorrectly.

It is very important that students understand the grammar because its the base of the language, if you know how to write, you automatically know how to speak.   Chapter 2 Grammar Schmidtt

1. Applied Linguistics- Cook

Reflection:

                Humans need language for almost everything that they have to do, in Applied Linguistics, we have to be able to deal with problems related to language, so if we have a problem we have to: understand it, analyze or investigate about it and then ask someone to give you their own opinion about the subject.  Applied Linguistics also has some other subjects related to it, some are more independent than others, such as sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, etc.

2. Prescribing & Describing-Cook

Reflection:

After reading and making the presentation I understand that theory is the way language is viewed by experts and practice is how we use it throughout life. 

Children have a great trouble dealing with grammar and the correct use of language because most parents don’t correct them since they were little and they take their errors to school and have to work really hard to correct them if their parents keep on using them at home.  At school, they must follow the grammar rules and speak like the teacher does, she will always correct them.

Standard language is the one used at school and dialects is the language spoken at home and in our social life.  Language might have a lot of variations because people according to their social life or nationality use it in different ways and some people don’t tolerate this which leads to disagreements.
