This study presents the effects of mother tongue interference on the academic performance of secondary school students in English language as second language.
The document summarizes two case studies on language acquisition:
1) A 3-year study of Wes, a Japanese man learning English in Hawaii, which found he improved in communication but still had inaccuracies.
2) A study of two boys, J and R, learning English requests in a London classroom over 1-2 years, which found they progressed through developmental sequences to perform requests formulaically.
The studies illustrate the complex nature of second language acquisition and importance of considering both accuracy and ability over time.
The document summarizes two case studies on second language acquisition. The first case study followed a Japanese man named Wes learning English in Hawaii over three years through naturalistic exposure. It found that while his grammar accuracy did not reach native levels, he developed communication abilities. The second case study compared two boys, J from Portugal and R from Pakistan, learning English in a classroom setting in London. It found that both were able to perform simple requests and their abilities developed sequentially despite different first languages. The studies illustrate the complexity of second language acquisition.
The document summarizes two case studies on second language acquisition. The first case study followed an adult learner of English in Hawaii over three years and observed his development, finding he improved in communication but still had inaccuracies. The second case study compared two boys learning English in a classroom in London, finding they both progressed through developmental sequences of simple requests in similar ways despite different first languages. The document also discusses defining features of language acquisition like the use of errors, formulas, and systematic learning over time.

The document discusses several topics related to first, second, and foreign language learning. It addresses the critical period hypothesis, which suggests that younger children are better able to acquire language. However, many studies have disproved this hypothesis. The influence of a learner's first language on acquiring a second language is also examined, through concepts like the competition model. The role of teachers is important for foreign language learners who depend on instruction. Overall, the document provides an overview of factors that affect learning multiple languages at different ages.
This document summarizes the linguistic abilities and errors of an 8-year-old English Language Learner from Puerto Rico in the 2nd grade. His biggest weakness was reading, being approximately one year behind. Some common errors included issues with digraph pronunciation, fluency, spelling vowels incorrectly, word order mistakes, and improper use of verb tenses. These errors can be attributed to transfers from rules in Spanish to English. The summary recommends teaching connections between English and Spanish while also directly instructing the new rules of English.
The document discusses the history of curriculum development and syllabus design in language teaching. It notes that syllabus design is one aspect of curriculum development but is not identical to it. Throughout the 20th century, changes in language teaching approaches drove changes in methods, including the grammar translation method, direct method, structural method, reading method, audiolingual method, and situational method. Vocabulary selection considers factors like frequency, teachability, similarity, availability, coverage, and defining power. Grammar selection examines simplicity, centrality, learnability based on acquisition order, and gradation approaches including linguistic distance, intrinsic difficulty, communicative need, and frequency. Early approaches to syllabus design made assumptions that units of language are vocabulary and

The document discusses the nature and characteristics of the English language, as well as its role and objectives in the Indian school curriculum. It outlines the three language formula recommended by the Education Commission of 1964-66, which suggests teaching a regional language, Hindi, and English at different grade levels. The objectives of teaching English as a first language focus more on literary development and appreciation, while the objectives of teaching English as a third language emphasize developing practical communication skills for personal, academic and professional use.
Characteristics of Eng as International Languagerachadapornkh
This document discusses English as an international language from three perspectives - Global English, World Englishes, and English as a Lingua Franca. Global English refers to the spread of American English through media and culture. World Englishes recognizes localized versions that have adapted to other cultures. Lingua Franca English is used for intercultural communication without relating to a single native culture. The document also examines how non-native English speakers may express identity and culture through the language, drawing on phrases from their own language or an emerging ELF identity. It questions whether English is truly used only for communication or also cultural representation.
The Influence of Mother Tongue in Learning EnglishUCsanatadharma
This document summarizes an undergraduate conference on English language teaching, linguistics, and literature in 3 parts. The background discusses English as a global language and how a learner's mother tongue can influence English. The findings analyze how sentence structure and pronunciation in the mother tongue of Spanish, German, French, Javanese, Bataknese and Papuan languages influence English. The conclusion recommends expanding language knowledge and stresses being proud of one's accent as long as it is understood.
MOTHER TONGUE INFLUENCE ON ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNING SRJIS
Language is a method of communicating ideas, emotions and desires by means of a system of arbitrarily produced symbols for physiological as well as psychological survival. In a multilingual Indian Society, where English acts as a second language, our aim of teaching English is not to develop British or American accent but to help the learners to overcome regional accents, wrong pronunciation and gradually train them in proper articulation. The aim of this article is to discuss the mother tongue influence in the process of English Language learning and how a teacher can help to overcome some of the problem encountered by an Indian learner of English as well as to improve his/her communicative competence.
This document provides an overview of some key differences between speaking and writing, and discusses how different language teaching methodologies have addressed these differences. Specifically, it notes that speaking involves more immediate face-to-face communication while writing allows for more removed communication. It also discusses how grammar-translation and audio-lingual methods did not differentiate between speaking and writing skills, while communicative approaches place more emphasis on realistic tasks and fluency over accuracy. Finally, it raises issues for language teachers to consider regarding grammatical accuracy, communicative competence, and their role in teaching speaking versus writing.
The grammar-translation method originated from teaching Latin, which was widely studied in the 1500s. It involves translating texts word-for-word from the target language to develop reading skills and mental discipline. Grammar rules are explicitly taught and practiced through drills and translations. There is little focus on speaking ability, listening comprehension, or cultural understanding. While still used, it lacks advocates and theoretical justification due to its limited development of practical language skills.
This document discusses strategies for teaching English language learners (ELLs). It notes that ELLs often develop decoding skills equivalent to native English speakers but lag behind in reading comprehension. Several literacy skills important for ELLs are identified, including vocabulary development and reading comprehension strategies. The document provides recommendations for teaching ELLs such as integrating content, literacy and language; scaffolding based on English proficiency; and explicitly teaching academic vocabulary. It emphasizes the importance of interaction, native language support, and knowing students' cultural and linguistic backgrounds.
This document discusses the changing role of English as a global language. It introduces Braj Kachru's three circles model of English and defines a lingua franca. Varieties of English like American, British, and World Englishes are examined. The document also explores sociolinguistic influences on language and debates around appropriate models for English language teaching. Factors like English as a foreign, second, or international language are considered.
The document discusses Filipino languages spoken in the Philippines. It notes that the Philippines has over 100 languages and dialects, with Tagalog and English as the two official languages. Filipino languages did not originally have the 'F' or 'V' sounds. The document outlines the evolution of Tagalog to Pilipino to the current Filipino language, established in the 1987 Constitution. It is predicted that by the end of the century, most Filipinos will speak a form of Filipino, which incorporates elements from various Philippine languages as well as English, Spanish, and other foreign languages. Filipino has been influenced in its vocabulary by languages like Sanskrit, Arabic, Chinese, English and Spanish.
This document discusses concepts related to bridging between languages and multilingual education. It defines key terms like mother tongue, second language, early-exit and late-exit transition programs. The document also summarizes research that shows the benefits of mother tongue-based multilingual education (MTBMLE), which includes students developing stronger academic skills when initially taught in their first language before transitioning to additional languages. MTBMLE programs support students' language development, academic achievement, and socio-cultural growth.
The document discusses supporting English language learners in early childhood classrooms. It highlights that the preschool years are critical for development, especially emergent literacy skills. English language learners face learning these skills while also learning a new language. The document explores realities of working with young ELLs, language acquisition, and best practices. These include using repetition, concrete examples, expanding language, predictable routines, careful grouping, and selecting supportive activities and books.
The nature, goals, and sequence of English And Filipino Languagechristopher Geaga
This document discusses the goals and content of language subjects like English and Filipino in basic education. It notes that students spend thousands of hours learning these languages from grades 1 through 4, yet there remains a prevalence of non-readers. The two language subjects are described as tool subjects, and proficiency is basic to academic performance. Six unique properties of language are also outlined. The purpose of teaching language is for students to gain ownership of social practices and participate effectively in life through organizing thought, analyzing problems, and accessing cultural expressions. Goals in English and Filipino are then discussed, followed by the scope and sequence of language subjects which includes listening, speaking, reading and writing.
This lecture introduces a module on core issues in English language teaching. It discusses the history of English and Arabic in Sudan, from their introduction during colonial times to current language policies. It notes the linguistic diversity in Sudan, with over 170 languages spoken. English was the lingua franca in Southern Sudan under British rule but Arabicization policies in the 1960s-1990s marginalized English. Two civil wars were partly due to imposing Arabic in the South. The 2005 peace agreement made Arabic, English and indigenous languages official, with no discrimination on language use. The future of English after South Sudan's independence is uncertain.
The document discusses several topics related to language use and education in the Philippines based on questions asked:
1. The Philippine Constitution establishes Filipino as the national language and mandates its development, while also recognizing English and regional languages. It requires the government to promote Filipino in official communication and education.
2. The attached DepEd order implements rules for using English as a medium of instruction per Executive Order 210.
3. One teacher said students' performance in subjects like Araling Panlipunan and Filipino declined due to multidisciplinary integration, but other teachers interviewed did not necessarily agree and emphasized properly aligning integrated concepts to the subject and students' readiness levels.
4. Non-
This document discusses approaches to teaching speaking skills in language education. It covers topics like the purposes of speaking, what needs to be taught, and how some methodologies have addressed teaching speaking. It notes that speaking skills involve both bottom-up skills like pronunciation and top-down skills like discourse structure. Methodologies discussed include audiolingual drills, communicative approaches using tasks and role-plays, and addressing vocabulary, pronunciation and interactional routines through modeling and practice. The document questions whether textbooks fully cover issues like cultural rules, politeness and register.
The document discusses the benefits and realities of language immersion education. It begins by outlining common myths about immersion, such as students becoming fully bilingual by 5th grade or learning a second language negatively impacting English development. It then discusses factors that influence second language acquisition and provides evidence that academic instruction in a student's home language does not interfere with English learning and leads to higher academic achievement overall. The document aims to provide parents a realistic understanding of immersion education while emphasizing its cognitive, academic and social benefits.
The document introduces the major dialects spoken in the Philippines, which are Ilocano, Tagalog, and Cebuano. These three dialects, along with other indigenous languages, are historically related and derived from original Indonesian as part of the Austronesian language family. The document defines a dialect as a particular form of language associated with a specific region or social group. It also lists the 8 major dialects spoken in the Philippines, with Tagalog being the most commonly taught language.
THE NATURE, GOALS, AND CONTENT OF THE LANGUAGE SUBJECT AREASGlory
This document discusses the nature and structure of language. It covers the main components of language including listening, speaking, reading, writing and viewing. It identifies causes of non-readers in the Philippines such as lack of parental involvement, inappropriate teaching materials/techniques, and poverty. The core building blocks of language are defined as phonemes, morphemes, phrases and sentences. Syntax, creative/dynamic properties, and meaning are also examined. The purposes of language teaching in the Philippines are outlined, and the constitution's provisions around Filipino and English are summarized, along with DepEd's plan to use 12 major dialects as the medium of instruction starting in 2012.
The document discusses mother tongue-based multilingual education (MTB-MLE) in the Philippines. Some key points:
- DepEd issued an order in 2009 to institutionalize MTB-MLE, using students' first language as the primary medium of instruction from preschool to Grade 3. Additional languages like Filipino and English are introduced gradually starting in Grade 2.
- MTB-MLE helps students understand lessons better and develop a sense of nationalism and cultural identity. It reduces dropout rates compared to only using English for instruction.
- The Philippines has over 180 languages but some are endangered. MTB-MLE aims to preserve local languages and culture.
- Studies show positive results from MTB
Students perception about the English Learning Process at Fernando Alberto th...Ramon Ventura
This document summarizes a study on students' perceptions of the English learning process at Fernando Alberto de Fillo Public High School during 2016-2017. It finds that the main difficulty students face is the lack of their own school building, which is affecting students' ability to learn English and other subjects due to issues with concentration, organization, and environment. The study aims to identify factors impacting English language teaching quality with respect to gender, urban/rural areas, and other subjects. It also seeks to understand causes of slow, difficult English learning and make recommendations. The methodology includes interviews with English teachers, students, and the school director to understand their perspectives on the problems affecting English acquisition.
This research proposal examines factors that influence English language students' pronunciation of final consonant sounds. The study will interview and record 12 students at the University of Quintana Roo performing pronunciation tasks to analyze how their English level, mother tongue, pronunciation consciousness, and learning strategies affect proficiency. Data analysis will use variability and central tendency techniques to describe relationships between these factors and pronunciation accuracy.

Action research , complete..docx white paperXimme Naranjo
This document discusses the effects of phonological awareness on English reading abilities in English language learners. It defines key terms like phonological awareness, morphological awareness, and language interference. Phonological awareness refers to the ability to identify and manipulate units of speech like syllables and phonemes, while morphological awareness is understanding word structures like prefixes and suffixes. The document argues that developing these types of linguistic awareness can help reduce interference from students' first language and improve English reading fluency. Speaking, writing, and word analysis activities are recommended to help English learners build phonological and morphological skills in their second language.

A study on intonation as a means of conveying deontic modality in English.pdfNuioKila
This document summarizes a thesis on intonation as a means of conveying deontic modality in English. The thesis was written by Nguyễn Thị Hằng Tuấn for her MA in English Linguistics at Vietnam National University, Hanoi. It examines the use of intonation to express obligation and permission as types of deontic modality in English. The document provides background on the study, including its rationale, aims, scope, methodology, and design which involves analyzing theories of intonation and modality before investigating common mistakes Vietnamese learners make and providing pedagogical implications.
This document summarizes several key issues in bilingual education in the Philippines. It discusses 1) the difficulty of defining the functions and roles of English, Pilipino, and Spanish in schools, 2) problems determining when to introduce and transition between these languages, 3) low academic achievement that can result, 4) issues of divided linguistic allegiance between languages, and 5) the problem of language mixing. It emphasizes the complexity of language issues in the Philippines given the desire to use native languages, English for economic reasons, and the role of Pilipino as a national unifying language.
This document discusses a proposed research study that will analyze how intonation patterns in Spanish affect English spoken by Spanish speakers. Specifically, it will look at how Spanish intonation patterns influence English tag questions. The study will select 4 Spanish-speaking English language learners at the B2 level to observe their speaking tasks, recordings, and interviews. It will use a case study approach and data triangulation to compare observations with interviews and tasks. The goal is to determine which aspects of Spanish phonology influence English intonation acquisition and identify differences in intentions between Spanish and English tag questions.
The document discusses the history of curriculum development and syllabus design in language teaching. It notes that syllabus design is one aspect of curriculum development but is not identical to it. Throughout the 20th century, changes in language teaching approaches drove changes in methods, including the grammar translation method, direct method, structural method, reading method, audiolingual method, and situational method. Vocabulary selection considers factors like frequency, teachability, similarity, availability, coverage, and defining power. Grammar selection examines simplicity, centrality, learnability based on acquisition order, and gradation approaches including linguistic distance, intrinsic difficulty, communicative need, and frequency. Early approaches to syllabus design made assumptions that units of language are vocabulary and

Working With Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Students
Chapter 9
Cultural Differences in the Mainstream Classroom
Cultures differ from one to along the following dimensions (Brown & Lundrum-Brown, 1995).
Axiology – The interpersonal values held by members of a cultural group.
Ethos – The beliefs that guide social interactions among members of a cultural group.
Epistemology – Ways of knowing and learning.
Accommodating Cultural Differences in the Classroom
It is very important that you learn the cultural background of your students in order to build a report with the students.
Learning cultural backgrounds can be achieved by doing the following:
Read about students’ home cultures.
Talk with family members to find out about their home literacy practices.
Talk with community members or colleagues who are familiar with students’ home cultures.
Linguistic Differences in the Mainstream Classroom
Cultural Diversity and Linguistic Diversity are two different things. Linguistic differences refer to the different languages of different ethnic groups.
Languages and Dialects. Often times different socio-economic classes have different dialects. There has been a great debate over the past few years about the following:
Ebonics – Is it a dialect or is it incorrect grammar?
Should we accommodate non-standard dialects within the classroom?
How does English Compare to Other Languages?
There are certain aspects of the English language that make it difficult to learn. The English language has more sounds than any other language. There are as many as 3x more sounds in the English language than any other.
Consider the following aspects when analyzing the English language:
Phonology
Morphology
Syntax
How does English Compare to Other Languages?
Aspects of the English Language Cont’d
Pragmatics
Writing Systems
What Do We Do to Support English Language Development in the Mainstream Classroom?
Make the classroom a space that is conducive to learning for English language learners.
Provide “comprehensible input”.
Encourage language production by English language learners.
Draw English language learners’ attention to linguistic forms.
Include home languages in the mainstream classroom.

Working With Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Students
Chapter 9
Cultural Differences in the Mainstream Classroom
Cultures differ from one to along the following dimensions (Brown & Lundrum-Brown, 1995).
Axiology – The interpersonal values held by members of a cultural group.
Ethos – The beliefs that guide social interactions among members of a cultural group.
Epistemology – Ways of knowing and learning.
Accommodating Cultural Differences in the Classroom
It is very important that you learn the cultural background of your students in order to build a report with the students.
Learning cultural backgrounds can be achieved by doing the following:
Read about students’ home cultures.
Talk with family members to find out about their home literacy practices.
Talk with community members or colleagues who are familiar with students’ home cultures.
Linguistic Differences in the Mainstream Classroom
Cultural Diversity and Linguistic Diversity are two different things. Linguistic differences refer to the different languages of different ethnic groups.
Languages and Dialects. Often times different socio-economic classes have different dialects. There has been a great debate over the past few years about the following:

The document provides a history of language teaching methods from the 1500s to present day. It begins with Latin being the dominant language of education in the 1500s, though French, Italian, and English gained prominence in the 1600s. The 1700s-1900s saw the promotion of Latin in schools through grammar-focused instruction. In the 1800s, modern languages began to be taught using the same grammar-translation approach. Reform movements in the late 1800s advocated for a more natural approach focused on speaking, resulting in the Direct Method in the early 1900s emphasizing communication over translation. However, these natural methods proved difficult to implement in schools. Throughout the 20th century, debates occurred over the best language teaching methods to use
1) The study investigated how university students improved their English pronunciation through the online tool Voki.
2) 22 students used Voki to practice pronunciation of minimal pairs, diphthongs, and connected speech.
3) Results found most students agreed that using ICT tools like Voki helped improve their pronunciation and they enjoyed integrating technology into learning.
1. A study examined the use of the online tool Voki to improve English pronunciation among university students in a Pronunciation module.
2. Students engaged in activities on minimal pairs, diphthongs, and connected speech using Voki and were surveyed on their experience.
3. Results showed most students had a positive attitude towards using ICTs for pronunciation and believed it helped improve their skills, though some struggled with certain pronunciation elements and network issues arose.
The document summarizes a study that investigated Thai university students' attitudes toward different models of English pronunciation. A questionnaire was administered to 387 first and second year students to collect information on their experiences with native and ASEAN varieties of English, as well as their attitudes toward native, intelligible, and World Englishes models. Results showed that students had more favorable attitudes toward native-like pronunciation as the goal of learning English despite recent discussions promoting intelligible models.
This paper investigated factors influencing students’ pronunciation. Pronunciation is one of the important aspects of the learning of English. When mastering English pronunciation, many non-native English speakers have difficulty pronouncing certain words that contain the phonemes not used in their native languages. This paper also reported several aspects that might influence pronunciation. The pronunciation aspect investigated in this research paper was the English interdental consonants [θ] and [ð], which are not available in the Indonesian language sound system. This qualitative research used interviews as a method for collecting primary data. The researchers interviewed twenty participants from the English Language Education Study Program (ELESP) of Sanata Dharma University, Yogyakarta, Indonesia, related to the pronunciation of the two interdental consonant sounds. The findings showed that the mother tongue, age, and teacher instruction on target language exposures affected the ELESP students’ (mis)pronunciation. Pedagogical implications of the findings are English teachers can assist their students in overcoming pronunciation challenges involving the two interdental consonants and pronunciation textbook writers should provide more pronunciation practices focusing on [θ] and [ð] sounds.
This excellent article describes the current use of different technological gadgets that are being used in different contexts to teach and learn English using technology. Dr. Richards also explains its academic relevance through hands-on examples.
The document provides an overview of the curricula for languages in the K to 12 Program in the Philippines. It discusses the background and rationale for learning languages, which is to effectively communicate and understand the world. The design of the languages curricula recognizes the importance of learning in the first language to establish a strong foundation for literacy development. It introduces new learning areas for the first language in Grade 1 focused on oral language and reading/literacy skills. Starting in Grade 2, Filipino and English are offered simultaneously to build on skills learned in the first language and transition to proficiency in those languages. The overall goals of the curricula are to develop literacy, communicative competence, and cultural identity.

This document outlines a bilingual education project at the Eustaquio Palacios school. The project aims to motivate students to learn and speak English by having 12 11th grade students receive training and help teach English to elementary school students after school. The student teachers use materials and lessons provided by the school to teach classes in English using methods like Total Physical Response. Results of the project showed increased motivation for both the high school and elementary students, support for elementary teachers, and evidence that elementary students are learning English before high school.

Resumen: This workshop is about uses of technology in elementary school and some useful applications and websites which we use in our school for teaching and learning English. Some of the most important things to consider when teachers use ICTs to work with children include: respect for their learning styles, skills, needs, interests and internet use.
Ponencia presentada por la profesora Alejandra Molina Pérez en el Encuentro de Experiencias Significativas e Innovadoras-2016. Resumen: Esta experiencia de aula para grado cuarto de primaria tiene como base metodológica el Currículo Integrado y el enfoque Preview- Review. La intención es articular las diferentes áreas curriculares sobre la base del pensamiento complejo planteado por Edgar Morin y la pedagogía crítica de Paulo Freire. Por último, se pretende articular estos referentes teóricos al aprendizaje del inglés.
El trabajo gira en torno al texto “Colombia, mi abuelo y yo” de Pilar Lozano. Desde este relato se desarrolla el trabajo de integración con las áreas: ciencias naturales, lenguaje, matemática, geometría, tecnología, educación artística e inglés. Esta última a través de la metodología preview-review (presentación y repaso). El aprendizaje se construye a partir de las preguntas que los niños y niñas se hacen al abordar el texto, unidas a las temáticas y conceptos que se desprenden del mismo. En este contexto, las lenguas (español e inglés) y el uso de las TIC son los medios a través de los cuales se construyen los saberes en las diferentes áreas (Preview).
Las temáticas que van surgiendo a través de la lectura del texto son llevadas al inglés a manera de cierre (Review). Esto se hace a través de videos, talleres escritos y canciones. De manera diaria se organiza el trabajo en inglés por medio del uso de órdenes, instrucciones de trabajo y diálogos cortos acerca del tema de clase. La evaluación se realiza a partir de trabajos escritos y la interpretación de canciones en inglés.

9. 1. Silent Way: Caleb Gattegno. Based on a humanistic approach that
encourages the learning by discovering. Independence and
autonomy and responsibility in students is an important issue.
The teacher is a facilitator and there are material or elements such
as colored rods, charts, stones used to introduce vocabulary (colors
numbers, adjectives, verbs and syntax)
2. (Barrera Benitez, 2009): When learning English, we must know its
phonetic because:
a. It doesn’t exist any correlation among them because the words are
pronounced differently to the way they are written.
b. The improvement of the pronunciation and recognition of the stress
of the Words.
c. Recognition of the American or British accent.
d. When a person knows he or she has mistakes in pronunciation, he
or she can feel inconfident.
10. PHONETIC
According to Lador & Fries (1999) phonetic is the
study of the physical sounds of the human
speech.
Llisterri Boix (1999, p.17) says that Phonetic is
“the study of the sounds used in natural
languages and taking into account that the
sounds of speech are primordial elements of the
communication system when establishing a
division inside the phonetic; taking into account
the vocal and the hearing nature of language”.
