Speech And Writing, By Sylvie Thivierge Spoken Language

It is crucial when it comes to promoting interest in writing that students are confident in their skills. If students do not exemplify confidence then the writing process will be very daunting. In order to promote confidence in the classroom, the teacher can encourage that student’s write about things that interest them, whether it is journaling about their weekend, or writing fictional stories. When the teacher gives opportunities for students lacking

Misty Adoniou, associate professor in Language and Literacy, tutor’s schoolteachers on how to appropriately educate children when it comes to literacy and using distinctive languages. Adoniou’s reading “Improving kids’ literacy - a little knowledge can go a long way” is about informing teachers on how to accurately demonstrate the parts of learning and developing all the right reading and writing skills to be intellectual and socially capable, as language is used to communicate.

It has been shown that if students start at an early age to learn to read and write their learning in all content areas will improve. It is for this reason it is important for secondary teachers to understand early reading acquisition as to incorporate those reading skills in lesson to accommodate students with reading deficiencies. Educators can understand the building blocks of how a student learns and develops into a successful reader in order to help them develop their reading skills. If teachers understand reading acquisition they can better assess their students’ reading level. As such, the role of professional judgement in understanding the selection of reading or writing material is to know their students reading needs and select materials

In today’s workforce, jobs are heavily based upon the skills that one has and how well one can perform them in their field of study. A major component skill that lacks in many young people today is writing. Writing plays is an important role in life, one needs it to communicate with other people. If young people are not taught this in their years of schooling and do not learn to master it, consequently they will come out on the bottom with poor writing skills. Which in

[Attention Getter] There are 775 million people in the world who are illiterate. Consequently, writing is essential in today’s world. If an individual were to look at society, the most successful people can write well. It is what separates the powerful from the weak.

By improving literacy, society should provide all the students with a chance to succeed and support them to stay in school, so as to encourage skill development. No Students fall through the cracks in the education system.

Students should care about learning how to write at the college level because it is part of the foundation of learning how to comprehend readings. Learning to understand any type of readings can help in the workplace as well as college. This is because the reader will be able to fully the grasp the idea of what is being told to to them. Therefore, the best way to learn this skill is being able to be a writer that knows how to “influence a student's comprehension”(Alhabri 2). This could also help in the workplace because you know what to do in order to get the job done effectively.

As days go by, I find myself realizing that I need to improve my literacy skills, I was never known as the reader or the writer, I was just not interested in the subject even though I knew it was very important. In fact, I always tried avoiding writing assignments like they were the plague, but I could never avoid them as they were school assignments, and of course they were grades. So it was either do them or fail.

Abigail Walthausen, a high school English teacher, a writer, she stated in the article “ Learning Cursive is the Basic right” (the Atlantic magazine, December 13, 2013) that nowaday, the amount of High school student who are weak in language knowledge. Walthausen said,”Today more and more I met high school students who, though they can read, sometimes well and sometimes poorly, are ashamed whenever they are confronted with the need to sign a document.” In other words her point is that school’s language Art education is having an tremendous issues in educating high school students. Walthausen also says that student will never know the language art as long as they never get to practice it everyday. Walthausen stated “ Sustained instruction in

“Speak”, written by Laura Halse Anderson, was a novel that contained many lessons of great significance. The significance of the title itself explains how the protagonist, Melinda, battled with inner demons about if she should talk about her being raped over the summer, or if she should just keep it to herself. Silence plays a huge role in this novel. Melinda remained silent to others for majority of the book, but as a reader, I was exposed to her thoughts. Anderson (1999) writes, “The whole point of not talking about it, of silencing the memory, is to make it go away” (p. 80). This sentence alone explains Melinda’s reasoning as to why she kept quiet and the role silence played throughout the novel. She believed that if she did not talk about it, the memory would somehow be removed. I believe that Melinda also kept quiet because she was afraid no one would listen and they would not believe her. Truth played the role of relief in the novel. When Melinda finally found the

Learning to read and write as a child is an experience that all can relate to. The average child learns to read and write at the early ages of three and four. Developing literacy at an early age is crucial to academic development as well as to performance in life. Early development can be just what a child needs to stimulate their minds, which in turn is assisting in the evolution of their future. The early and latter stages of development in a child’s literacy journey are the makings for their reading and writing skills. It also plays part in their analysis of obstacles as well as their developed or problematic literacy future. A child

There are differences and similarities when comparing speech to writing. What is the correct way to write? What is the correct way to speak? There are varying ways on how to do both these things. The vast number of languages, accents and dialects are astounding. In the United States, one can go to different parts of the county and hear many other languages used or incorporated into everyday use. When one speaks to their family, do they not speak differently than when surrounded by personalities in Academia? The same goes for writing. Doesn't one write differently in lets say, a diary then when he or she writes a Thesis Paper? Comparing the work of Amy Tan and Primo Levi provides a greater understanding of what’s at stake when we speak as opposed to when we write.

In his article, Speaking of Writing and Writing of Speaking, David Crystal tells us that many people would state that the difference between writing and speaking are so obvious that it doesn’t even need to be discussed. Speech is transmitted by vocal chords and writing is making physical marks on a surface. But, as he continues to explain, the differences between speech and writing are far more intricate and detailed (Crystal, 2005). To identify the distinctive features of spoken and written language it is crucial to distinguish the differences (Gee et al. 2011)

Reading and writing are two of the most important tools in my life, because without them I would not have an education. They form the basis of a class; for example, completing a lab in chemistry would not be possible without following a written lab procedure. These two skills are taught at such a young age, and as education advances students must continue to strive to reach a higher level. I can remember in elementary school, we were always pushed to reach the next reading level once we had successfully mastered the one we were on. It was always a competition for my sister and I to be at a higher level, I usually won. Even though I was excelling in reading it was the complete opposite for writing. It is something that has never come easy

Writing is one of the four basic skills to be taught for the students. It is a way for students to express their idea and opinion. The important of writing can be seen in daily activities when they need to write short texts such as memos, invitation letters, sympathy notes, brochure, article, business letters, applications letter and many others. Through writing students can transfer their experiences and knowledge to others. So, they should be able to produce sentences and develop it into paragraphs and essays. It is active thinking process of the students to plan, arrange and express idea in order the text could be understood by the readers. A good writing helps avoid misunderstanding between the writer’s idea and the reader’s opinion.
