This document discusses the effects of technology and bilingual education in classroom settings and on students. It finds that technology can increase student motivation and self-esteem by making learning engaging. It also improves design skills as students learn to create for different audiences. The need for bilingual education is growing as the number of English language learners rises. Research shows that developing students' first language supports learning a second language. Effective bilingual programs recognize and build on students' existing skills and are culturally appropriate.

Realization of the Grapheme 'er' by Learners of English as Foreign Language T...ijtsrd
This research work sets out to evaluate the spoken productions of foreign learners of English the case of students in the English Department of the University of Doba, i.e. students of Level One, who were 200 in number. To carry out the investigation, reading activity of a text was used to collect data. Variationism by Labov 1963 was the theory used to guide the analysis of data. The investigation arrived at the results that learners have very poor performance in the pronunciation of English sounds, which is due to the influence of French and lack of English practice. To improve the learning of EFL, students are recommended to practice English intensively and extensively.

This study aims to examine the effect of being a foreign student on academic performance of upper elementary students at St. Therese School. A questionnaire was administered to 26 students to collect data on their demographics, including gender, age, parents' education and occupation, and family income. The results showed that most respondents were female, aged 12-13, with college-educated parents in white-collar jobs, and family incomes between 20,000-30,000 pesos. The study aims to determine if factors such as being a foreign student influence academic performance.
The Importance Of International StudentsErin Torres
The document discusses the benefits of international students studying in the United States. It notes that international students make up around 4.2% of total students in the US and their numbers have nearly doubled over the past two decades. The top reasons international students choose to study in the US are the reputation for quality higher education programs and the ability to study a wide range of subjects. However, international students also face challenges adjusting to a new culture and language barriers. Universities and communities benefit economically from international tuition dollars and greater diversity on campus.
Thinking about college out of state (from new work labtop)Rebecca Joseph
This document discusses advantages of attending college out of state or living in dorms, including exposure to new communities and students from around the world. It provides tips for finding colleges, such as researching schools that are a good match based on academic profile, interests, and talents. The document recommends resources for identifying summer programs, fly-in programs, and schools, such as websites, books, and social media. It emphasizes that most colleges want a diverse student body and will cover costs for underrepresented students.
International Student Immigration StudiesSonia Sanchez
The document discusses international student enrollment trends in the United States, finding that enrollment of foreign students has steadily increased over the past few decades, growing on average 3.4% annually from 1980 to 2013, with the exception of a dip following 9/11 between 2003-2005. It also examines factors like the influence of foreign students on graduation rates and performance of domestic students in US universities, as well as methods used to analyze these impacts through regression analysis of enrollment and degree conferral data. The study aims to understand how the presence of foreign students may generate externalities that affect both teaching performance and time to degree completion for domestic students.
Here is a draft 300-word persuasive essay on the benefits of studying abroad:
Studying Abroad: An Experience Every Student Should Have
Studying abroad is one of the most enriching experiences a college student can have. Not only does it provide life-changing personal and professional growth, it also helps develop global citizens. For these reasons, I believe studying abroad should be an integral part of every student's college education.
Studying in a foreign country immerses students in a new culture, forcing them to adapt to different customs and ways of life. This type of cultural immersion cannot be achieved anywhere else. It expands horizons and helps students gain a new perspective on their own culture and identity. On a personal level
The principal provides an update on the second semester at Sperreng Middle School. He thanks parents for their support during the first semester and encourages continued partnership with teachers. Safety procedures are being reviewed in light of recent events. Upcoming MAP testing dates will be provided and students are encouraged to prepare. The school continues building relationships through character education programs. Bring Your Own Device usage is growing and being used positively in classrooms.
The document discusses a case study on the impact of an experiential learning (EA) program that was implemented at Denver Law. It describes a series of surveys administered to incoming 1L classes from 2013-2016 and outgoing 3L/4L classes from 2015-2017 to explore how the EA program affected student enrollment, experience, and post-graduation plans. The findings from the surveys are reported.
The document discusses three main challenges that international students face: culture shock, lack of social support networks, and language barriers. Culture shock refers to difficulties adjusting to a new culture and way of life. International students lack social support networks compared to domestic students. Language barriers, especially for those whose first language is not English, can make academic and daily life challenging. The document uses the experiences of international students to explain these common challenges.
The document discusses lowering the voting age from 18 to 16. Those in favor argue it may increase voter turnout among young people. However, the response argues that 16-year-olds tend to make rash, uninformed decisions and lack the maturity and responsibility of older voters. Lowering the voting age could exacerbate issues with voter participation rather than improve them. Overall, the document argues the voting age should remain at 18 to ensure wise, informed leadership from older generations.
U.S. universities have dominated the world as the most popular university destinations for students from around the world over the past few years. In this presentation , you will learn about the major benefits of studying in the USA and how top study in the USA consultants can assist you.
Millennium High School is located in Lower Manhattan and enrolls approximately 550 students in grades 9-12. It offers a rigorous academic program with required classes in English, math, science, history and foreign language, as well as electives. Students must complete community service hours, reading requirements and exit exams to graduate. In addition to academics, the school focuses on college preparation, after-school programs, and developing student leadership through activities.
Communication Between Students And Foreign LanguageKimberly Williams
The article discusses whether foreign language classes should be required for high school students. It notes that many colleges require 2 years of foreign language study in high school. However, colleges often do not require further foreign language classes. The article argues that requiring foreign language classes in high school has cognitive benefits for students. Learning a foreign language can improve brain function and lead to higher IQs. Exposure to foreign language and culture also creates a more diverse and inclusive learning environment for students. In conclusion, the article makes the case that foreign language requirements should stay in place for high school students due to the academic and social-emotional advantages.
Dwight international school-short term programiamprosperous
Dwight International School offers summer programs including ESL programs, academic programs, and a bridge program. The ESL and academic programs aim to nurture students' potential and build skills like leadership, while the bridge program helps international students enter North American high schools. The summer programs provide opportunities for cultural exchange between students from Dwight International and other Dwight schools internationally.
The document is a satirical article summarizing the additional subjects that will supposedly be added to the curriculum under the Philippines' K to 12 program. It lists subjects like botany, accounting, traffic law, driving colors, and math refresher. However, it also includes absurd made-up subjects like defense of the ancients video game skills, social media courses, and how to fake illnesses. The education secretary is quoted announcing a second list of subjects, including swimming during floods, legal terminology in conversations, and skills for escaping difficult situations. The article mocks the new subjects through ridiculous satirical examples.
The document discusses various options for international students to study abroad. It covers popular destinations like the US, UK, Canada, Australia and others in Europe. It discusses factors for students like quality of education, costs, scholarships, post-study employment opportunities, immigration prospects and changing policies. The document also provides information on the application process, requirements like admissions tests, documents needed, and selecting a program and university. It lists various education consultants that can help guide students through the process of studying overseas.
The UK education system is divided into four main parts: primary education from ages 5-11, secondary education from ages 11-16, further education which is optional after 16, and higher education. The curriculum is organized into key stages with mandatory subjects like English, maths, and science at each level. Teachers must complete initial teacher training with further opportunities for leadership roles like headteacher available after gaining experience. Examinations play an important role in the UK system with tests like the 11-Plus and GCSEs.
This academic resume summarizes Divinity Amos-Richards' excellent academic record and extracurricular activities. It shows that she has maintained high honors throughout high school with a weighted GPA of 4.3. She has received many academic awards and has been active in clubs related to business, debate, robotics, and community service.

Here are the 4 students I would choose and why:
1. Raymond - With a 2380 SAT score, he is clearly very intelligent and would add academic strength to the student body. His early graduation also shows strong motivation and time management skills.
2. David - His 1525 SAT score is strong and as the child of missionaries he would bring diversity of experience and perspective to campus.
3. Debby - Her 1480 SAT score is excellent and her year with YWAM demonstrates strong character, leadership ability, and commitment to service - all valuable traits.
4. Robert - While his 1050 SAT score is average for the college, choosing a student from an underrepresented demographic like Brooklyn would promote

4. Dear Parent/Guardian,
Did you know that motor vehicle
crashes are the leading cause of
death for teens in the United
States?
We all talk about the dangers of
drunk driving and the im-
portance of wearing seat
belts. But there is another trafϐic
safety issue you must make your
teen aware of so they can stay
safe behind the wheel: distract-
ed driving.
In 2010, 3,092 people were
killed in crashes involving a dis-
tracted driver and an estimated
additional 416,000 were injured
in motor vehicle crashes. Sadly,
our youngest and most inexperi-
enced student drivers are often
the most at risk. In fact, eleven
percent of all drivers under the
age of 20 involved in fatal crashes
were reported as distracted at the
time of the crash. This age group
has the largest proportion of driv-
ers who were distracted.
Distracted driving comes in many
forms. It can include electronic
distractions, like navigation sys-
tems and cell phones, or more
conventional distractions, like in-
teracting with passengers and eat-
ing.
Unfortunately, texting is the most
dangerous of all distractions
because it involves manual,
visual and cognitive distrac-
tion simultaneously. Sending
or reading a text takes your
eyes off the road for 4.6 se-
conds. At 55 mph, that’s like
driving the length of an entire
football ϐield blindfolded.
Student safety is the No. 1 pri-
ority at East Central High
School. During the month of
October, Public Service An-
nouncements will be shown to
supplement our effort. Howev-
er, we need the support of par-
ents and family members to
supplement this effort.
So, I’m asking you to join in by
encouraging your teen to pay
attention to the road at all
times. Remind them that
-Jake Griffin

EAT DINNER WITH YOUR FAMILY NIGHT
The East Central Family, Ca-
reer and Community Lead-
ers of America (FCCLA) hosted their
5th annual “Eat Dinner with Your
Family Night” on Monday, Septem-
ber 24, 2012 in the East Central Caf-
eteria. During this event over 60
families from the East Central High
School FCCLA and Sunman Dear-
born Middle School FCCLA enjoyed
a dinner of Lasagna, green beans, ,
and breadsticks prepared by the
ECHS Cafeteria. The salad and des-
serts were prepared by the Miss
McConnell’s Culinary Arts Class.
Eat Dinner with Your Family Night is
a national movement to inform par-
ents that the parental engagement
fostered during frequent family din-
ners is an effective tool to help keep
America’s kids substance free.
Whether you’re cooking a gourmet
meal, ordering food from your favor-
ite take-out place or eating on the
go, rest assured that what your kids
really want during dinnertime with
their parents! Family meals are the
perfect time to talk to your kids and
to listen to what’s on their mind. The
more often kids eat dinner with their
families; the less likely they are to
smoke, drink or use drugs.
FCCLA members created placemats
with statistics about the affects of
spending time together as family.
During the East Central event, fami-
lies were given a container full of
questions to provoke discussion.
After dinner, they also had families
work together, while having fun
with team building activities includ-
ing how many balloons can the
family blow up and stick on their
family member. The Polito family
won the contest and received a
$25 gift card to Kroger. It was an
event enjoyed by all who attended!
This project was funded by a grant
from the Dearborn County CASA
organization.
Family, Career and Community
Leaders of America is a dynamic
and effective national student or-
ganization that helps young men
and women become leaders and
address important personal, family,
work, and societal issues through
Family and Con-
sumer Sciences
education.
The organiza-
tion has more
than 210,000
members from
50 state associ-
ations and the
District of Co-
lumbia, Puerto
Rico, and the
Virgin Islands.
Since its found-
ing in 1945,
Family, Career
and Community
Leaders of Ameri-
ca has involved more than ten mil-
lion youth.
Family, Career and Community
Leaders of America is unique
among youth organizations be-
cause its programs are planned and
run by members. It is the only na-
tional in-school organization with
the family as its central focus. Par-
ticipation in national programs and
chapter activities helps members
become strong leaders in their fami-
lies, careers, and communities.
If any East Central or Sunman
Dearborn Middle School student is
still interested in joining FCCLA
please feel free to call Mrs. Osman
at 576-4811 ext. 11302.

This fall we will be adding a couple of new programs in the library and continuing
others. We will once again be sponsoring the Eliot Rosewater Book Award programEliot Rosewater Book Award programEliot Rosewater Book Award programEliot Rosewater Book Award program. Under
this program, students read from a list of books and rate those books from 0-5 stars de-
pending on how they liked the books. Polling results from our students are added together
with those from student all over the state to elect a winning book. Last year’s winning Ro-
sie book was Perfect Chemistry by Simone Elkeles. The 2011 winner was Hunger Games.
Voting takes place in late April so students have all year to read books from the list.
This year we will offer an AR StoreAR StoreAR StoreAR Store where students can use points earned from their
Accelerated Reader Reading to buy item from our AR store. We will be using the year to put
together some great prizes for students to earn with their reading points. Watch for more
about this later.
The Scholastic Book ClubScholastic Book ClubScholastic Book ClubScholastic Book Club offers some fantastic deals for students who want to buy
books to keep for themselves. Forms are available in the library for students or staff who
would like to take advantage of these offers. A good selection of books is available at huge
savings. The library will take care of compiling and ordering and getting the books to any-
one who buys. Forms and money need to be returned to the library. This is the first order of
the year. Other orders will follow if enough people are interested. This is NOT a fundraiser,
just a good opportunity for those interested.
