...It's hard to believe that the final english class of my highschool career has for the last time, come and gone by. My education level has increased exponentially due to the rigorous course my teacher has designed for the students. Dual Enrollment English class taught me far more than just how to write a well written academic paper for my next four years in a college environment. Looking back on the second half of the semester, I can look back and appreciate all of the time spent preparing all of my essays, speeches, and notes for discussion. Throughout the semester, I definitely hit some speed bumps along the way; however, overcoming these dilemmas is what I will be able to carry with me throughout college. The class taught me how to be able to stand at the front of the classroom and speak about topics that I was less familiar with than familiar with, importance of priorities, how to write a well composed piece of literature in an academic format....

The new peace in Europe caused a fundamental shift in the...

...last year about writing. I felt like I have grown dramatically with my writing. I know use stronger words when writing an essay that means something. As well as that, I know enjoy writing long pieces or even short essays. This semester taught me how to improve on being a writer, and how to open my mind to new things. While first proceeding through this class, I had no idea how I would feel writing essays every other day. I felt like I was going to be miserable and get behind fast. In the beginning, I knew I had to come up with a better attitude and put my mind into my work. When we first had an essay due, I was a little nervous because I did not know what you expected of us. Now, I write my papers the night before it is due usually and I do not hesitate to press submit. While in English 111/112, you have...

...The main purpose of this paper is to make an analysis on the different sources of English law, and discuss the extent to which external sources have affected English law. A basic knowledge of English legal history is important for anyone wishing to study English law, for a number of reasons. Although the UK’s modern legal system, following centuries of legal reforms, is vastly different from that of the 11th century, many fundamental principles and philosophical ideas present in the modern legal system derive from centuries past. Equally, many existing rules of law have their origin in legal history and to fully understand the reason for the current legal norms, it is necessary to appreciate the historical events surrounding their creation (Boxford, 2006, p. 34). Some argue that the English legal system is too conservative and reluctant to adapt to modern conditions. Whilst this claim should not be over-exaggerated, it should also not be ignored. The UK today represents a country with an extremely rich legal history, but also one which seeks to play an active role in the modern global environment. A source of law means the process by which law comes into existence. English law is mainly derived from legislation (both Acts of Parliament and delegated legislation), case law, and European Union law. Custom is a minor source of law. English law, established historically Westminster courts (common law) and Chancery Court (equity), is a right of judicial practice, not only...

...English and Englishes in the Philippines: A World Englishes Approach to MTBMLE Isabel Pefianco Martin, Ateneo de Manila University Abstract ! In the past two years since DepEd Order 74 (series 2009) was implemented, teacher training sessions have been conducted that focussed on the development of teaching strategies and the preparation of instructional materials for teaching in multilingual settings. One area of utmost concern among basic education teachers, and often a source of anxiety to both teachers and parents, is how to approach the teaching of English using the first language (L1). This presentation hopes to address these concerns by proposing a World Englishes (WE) approach to English language teaching (ELT) in the Philippines. Introduction ! Just recently, a college freshman who interviewed me for his research paper on mother-tongue based multilingual education (MTBMLE) asked why I supported its promotion even it meant possibly losing my job as an English teacher. The question did not surprise me as it was something that I often encountered whenever teachers, especially English teachers in Metro Manila, are confronted with this unfamiliar creature that is MTBMLE. ! To many stakeholders of the English language--lawmakers, school administrators, teachers, and parents--MTBMLE is perceived as a threat. It is specifically perceived to be anti-English. These perceptions may be traced to beliefs about English that may largely be considered as...

...research is situated within a tradition of sociolinguistic research. General Calendar: The notations for WEEKS show a recommended schedule for working on the project without having a frantic rush at any one time. 1. WEEK 2: In class this week, you will choose a presentation. Carefully consider making your data collection project tied to this presentation. This is because you want to have a good understanding of some of the extant research on your topic around which you can structure your project. Previous research also gives you 1) good insight into how to narrow a topic of appropriate size for focused study, 2) insight into the theoretical and research questions that sociolinguists ask. 2. WEEKS 3-4: Make a final decision about your research topic. First, read the options, below, under “Project Topics.” Choose one of these, perhaps as part of a group doing the same topic. You still have to collect data and figure out how you will do other parts of the projects that are...

...RESEARCH PAPER JHUMPA LAHIRI’S “MRS. SEN’S” (INTERPRETER OF MALADIES) Name: Babar Ali Kaiser Student ID: 1142131 Instructor: Dr. Christina Sommerfeldt Course: English 111 Term: Winter 2007 Jhumpa Lahiri, through the stories in her book “Interpreter of Maladies”, sheds light on the experience of immigrants from the subcontinent who face difficulties in adjusting and integrating and as a result feel homesick and isolated in a new world so different from their homeland. The short story “Mrs. Sen’s” is about a thirty-year old Indian woman who migrated to the United States with her husband. Her husband is a professor of mathematics at the university and is gone all day leaving Mrs. Sen behind by herself. She feels lonely and isolated when her husband is away and she therefore baby sits an eleven year old boy named Elliot. She thinks of the times she had back home “sitting in an enormous circle on the roof of her building, laughing and gossiping and slicing fifty kilos of vegetables through the night” (115). She attempts to find the life she had in India but finds it hard to do so in this society which is new to her. Her only connection to the society is the little boy, Elliot. The short story “Third and final continent” is also about a young woman just like Mrs. Sen, who migrates to the United states after getting married but unlike Mrs. Sen, she adjusts well to the life in the United States. At the start of the story, Lahiri describes Mrs. Sen’s apartment as...

...forms of diversity include ones physical appearance, sex, race, age, ethnicity, speech patterns and language. Those that are nonvisible include characteristics such as religion, national origin, illness and sexual orientation (Clair 2005). When discussing diversity in the work environment, most often times they are discussing the outward, visible characteristics, however invisible social identities are common in the workplace. Gender is one of the most common viewed issues when looking at diversity in the workplace. The glass ceiling and equality issues are analyzed and discussed frequently. Discoveries have been made that support the idea that woman should be on more Boards and should be making more decisions on allocations of monies. This paper seeks to address how diversity impacts an organization and how managers can make diversity work for them. Introduction According to Gibson, Ivancevich, Donnelly, and Konopaske (2012), Diversity is a term that describes the cultural, ethnic and racial differences in a population. A more comprehensive definition by Gibson et al (2012) indicates that diversity is “an array of physical and cultural differences that constitute the spectrum of human attributes. There are six dimensions of diversity which include: age, ethnicity, gender, physical attributes, race, and sexual/affectional orientation” (50). All of these elements ultimately have a strong effect on an individual’s behavior and attitudes. The six characteristics listed...
