The student has learned a lot of Spanish vocabulary covering various topics like school, hobbies, medical terms, and parts of the house. They enjoyed learning vocabulary through partner activities which made the material more fun and helped with understanding. While vocabulary comes easily, the student struggles with pronunciation, spelling, and grammar in Spanish. To improve, they need to practice pronunciation by listening online and asking friends, study spelling by doing more activities, and focus on grammar which is very different from English.

This student learned about speaking in past and future tenses, new vocabulary for everyday life, and communicating about school, education, and atmosphere this quarter. They enjoyed working with partners the most as it helped practice speaking. Grammar and speech were the most difficult, as Spanish has many conjugations, stem-changing verbs, and proper pronunciation is challenging without a strong base in English. The student will take a break from Spanish next year due to finding it overly confusing after four years of study.
kids speaking observation
The document discusses observations made about children's language development and usage. It notes that while children have a good speaking level, their language is not at an adult proficiency level yet. Children were observed making pronunciation mistakes and swallowing or omitting letters in words. Their sentence formation and grammar is also not fully developed. However, older siblings will often correct the younger ones. The document concludes that children use language mainly to communicate their needs, while adults use it for more complex purposes like literature.

The 1 hour presentation trotted out a system for teaching speaking to students of all levels and provides students with the tools they need to figure out pronunciation without a teacher present.
A good time was had by all!

공중보건의사로 근무할 당시, 저는 ‘의사의 전문 지식’을 공유하는 용도로 블로그를 활용했습니다. 그렇게 시작한 블로그로 인해 진료실에서 만나는 환자 수보다는 인터넷에서 블로그를 보는 사람이 더 많아졌습니다. 블로그 시작 1년만에 누적 방문자 1천만명이라는 기록을 세웠습니다. 많은 언론에서 주목했고, 그 공로(?)를 인정받아 2007, 2008년 다음 블로거뉴스 장려상과 대상, 2009년에는 유네스코 한국위원회로부터 상을 받기도 했습니다. 공중보건에 중요한 것은 ‘백신접종’만이 아닙니다. 대중이 건강한 행동을 하기 위해서는 건강한 ‘커뮤니케이션’이 필요합니다. 소셜미디어나 소셜네트워크서비스는 과거 미디어에 못지않은 훌륭한 공중보건 커뮤니케이션 도구가 될 수 있다는 것을 이야기합니다

The truth of spoken english business
Do Spoken English Classes really help? Students never get to question was everything in the material taught or was the money and time spent really justified. So how would one actually become the effective communicator one day. Such truths are well discussed
Pronunciation
1) Teaching pronunciation is important for communication but many teachers avoid it or believe it cannot be taught effectively.
2) Pronunciation is best taught starting with individual phonemes and having students practice distinguishing pairs of similar sounds before moving to words and sentences.
3) Three major barriers to good pronunciation are anxiety, learned helplessness, and issues with cultural identity, but teachers can address these through structured practice, positive feedback, and activities that emphasize acceptable variation in accents.

SLA #3
While finishing up this course, I do not feel as comfortable with my second language as I was hoping I would. I love the language and think it is absolutely beautiful, and as I have stated in the past I truly believe I would like to continue to learn how to better communicate in French.
With this being said I feel my self-esteem is low at the amount I have accomplished thus far, but still very high with the hope that I can push myself enough to at least learn a small amount of the language enough to carry on a small conversation if ever needed. My self-efficacy is pretty much right in the middle on a low to high scale. I completed many tasks, but my overall goals were not all completely achieved. Although I did not expect to be able to carry on a complete conversation within a four week class, I would have liked to be able to know a couple complete sentences. I know individual words, but they do not flow well enough to make a complete sentence someone can understand. Which brings me to my willingness to communicate, which I would have to say .
Data Analysis and Language Comparison
This document summarizes an interview with a Spanish-speaking student named Rodrigo from Peru who is learning English. It outlines some of the difficulties he faces due to differences between Spanish and English grammar and pronunciation. These include:
1) Words with multiple meanings in Spanish but singular meanings in English.
2) Unfamiliarity with English contractions, as Spanish only has two.
3) Errors with prepositions, past tense verbs, word order, pronunciation of vowels, use of articles, and double negatives - all influenced by his native Spanish.
4) Key differences like English having more vowel sounds, subject omission in Spanish, inflection for gender/number, and lack of contractions beyond "a+
5 speaking rules you need to know
1. Don't focus too much on grammar rules when trying to become fluent in speaking English. While grammar is important for exams, it can slow down natural speech. Instead, learn phrases that allow you to create many correct sentences.
2. Practice speaking the material you hear and read out loud. Many people can read and listen in English but cannot speak fluently because they don't practice speaking. Repeating material out loud helps speaking become automatic.
3. Surround yourself with English as much as possible by listening to audio lessons frequently, even when not studying, to accelerate learning just as being immersed in a language environment helps native acquisition.

Final reflections
Jessica Thompson reflects on her Spanish class this semester. She learned new vocabulary and grammar concepts covering topics like school routines, health, household chores, and daily activities. While she enjoyed learning the vocabulary, she disliked grammar due to its difficulty. Her grades dropped when she stopped studying daily but improved again when she resumed regular study. She found memorable study techniques like singing and partner work helpful for learning vocabulary and pronunciation. Going forward, she plans to focus more on grammar in addition to vocabulary when taking other language classes.

Ancient Chinese society held strict patriarchal Confucian ideals that defined women's roles. Women were expected to be submissive to their fathers, husbands, and sons, focusing on domestic duties like cooking, cleaning, and child-rearing. They had little education or independence. However, some documents also note that women played important roles as mothers and wives, and a few texts argue they had virtues and potential beyond the domestic sphere. Competition among imperial consorts and empresses was intense and sometimes deadly as they vied for power and position. Footbinding was a practice that modified women's figures and movement from a young age to conform to ideals of femininity, status, and ethnicity, though it caused great pain.

Reflection midterm
- 1. I have learn a tons in spanish two. Including a whole bunch of vocabulary about schools, extracurricular activities, things about the doctors office and words about the house. I have also learn about grammar and how to say commands. I have enjoy learning the vocabulary because of the activities that we have done so much with actually learning the vocabulary. Partner activities are the funnest because one can have some one to help them out with the work in spanish that he does not understand. Also with the partner activities you can learn how the other person speaks and if they are better then you in speaking they can help you. I also enjoy it because learning a language alone is boring but when you have someone to learn with then it can be a lot funnier. Working with a partner is what I have enjoyed most in spanish two. Through vocabulary comes easy to me I do have a lot of trouble with pronunciation of the words, spelling and grammar. When it comes to pronunciations I say the word wrong most of the time. Some people say that I sound like I am saying the words right because I have the accent down but truthfully I can not say half of them right. Spelling is another spot that I have trouble with. Spelling words has always been difficult for me. Finally the worst thing that troubles me is grammar because it is so different then that of english and I have trouble with english grammar. So as you can see I need to improve on pronunciation of the vocabulary, spelling of them, and finally grammar in spanish. I need to improve in these subjects because if I do not everything is going to be harder as I progress in learning of my spanish. All of these things are very important in spanish because they build on through all the spanish. I can improve on pronunciation of the vocabulary, spelling of the words and the grammar in spanish. The way I can improve on the pronunciation of the vocabulary is to listen to how they are pronounced on the website quizlet. Also I could ask one of my friends that are also in spanish or working harder on saying the words over and over again. To improve on the spell is to work more on the words. I could do some more of the activities on quizlet and maybe write the words a couple of times to see if I can get
