1. Reflection: The English Language.
Language is the most important and the best human ability to communicate what
we feel, want and many others types of expression around the world. The vast majority of
humans are born with the ability of acquire language naturally and improve this ability
with the right environment. The Language is a creative expression used in every aspect of
our lives, and has been in constant development since ages. The English Language is one of
the most important languages around the world, and one of the more widespread
languages now a day. English is a Western Germanic language which was born in the
Anglo-Saxons kingdoms of England, its natives speakers are the equivalent of the 5.52% of
the entire global population.
The text The English Language is tremendously important for us, as in-training
English teachers, for this text tells us about history of the language and its development
through the eras. In relation with the course, Lexical Analysis, the text takes an important
role because in order to know how to define this language and how English has grown
through time, we need to learn about its roots. We also need to take into account the
differences between the Modern English and the Old English, thus we can analyze it and
learn why we use some words or why some words are easy to learn in comparison to
others.
In our humble opinion, we think that as future teachers is seriously meaningful to
know and learn about how this language was born and developed, because in order to
teach the language to our future possible students, we need to really know what we are
talking, and we need to be able to handle every aspect of the language we are improving.
