Creating a Language Rich Environment
Introduction
Children learn best in environments that support optimum creativity as well as development opportunities. As such, teachers must strive to foster a learning environment that enhances language acquisition among students. Learners can grasp different languages with the right practice, instructions as well as encouragement. Every teacher has a responsibility to have a classroom set up with specific learning areas as well as plan for their use (Celic, 2009). The ways in which he or she creates the opportunities for productive language acquisition can enable learners to lower their mistakes, allow learners at different educational levels interact with one another, as well as create a natural learning environment that teaches and provides various opportunities for language learning (Piper, 2012). Therefore, I have designed a classroom floor plan with three centers- the computer corner, the collaborative work table and reading corner- that do not only promote literacy, but also language acquisition.
The Classroom Floor plan
This floor plan is specifically designed to provide children with the opportunities on how learn and use language in natural ways. The three primary areas designed for promoting language learning and use include the computer corner, the reading center as well as the collaborative worktable.
The Computer Corner
The computer corner has 2 computer desks than can be used by between 2 and 3 learners at a time. The computer area supports language development among learners by providing them with the opportunities on how to use a computer, play interactive reading game, print words for learning as well as use other educational programs that promote reading as well as language acq.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. Introduction
In a second grade classroom there are
many different technological
resources that can be utilized to aid in
instruction. In classrooms that have
English language learners these
technological resources can be
extremely useful in helping these
students succeed. Teachers need to
know about the resources they can
utilize in their classroom and how they
can benefit the students to their
fullest potential.
3. Scenario #1
A second grade teacher is using an
interactive white board during a
science lesson. The lesson was
about the water cycle and how
water moves through each part.
4. Aide in Demonstrating a Concept, Skill,
or Strategy
An interactive white board aides in demonstrating a concept, skill, or
strategy. Really an interactive white board can do so many more things but is
particularly helpful in this instance because teachers can use many different
resources from one place and display them all on this board.
To introduce the lesson the teacher can present a presentation, show a video,
or play an interactive game. Students and the teacher can do different things
by touching the screen and navigating how the activity is prepared to go.
An interactive white board is useful in this sense because it can focus on one
concept, skill, or strategy but allow the flexibility to use many different
resources all at one at the front of the classroom. It also allows for the
teacher to talk through the lesson while using the resources.
5. Scenario #2
In classrooms everywhere there are
computer, now more commonly
laptops. Students use them for a
variety of things from research, play
games, do assignments, and even
online assignments that are sent
directly to the teacher.
6. Providing Feedback
It is becoming more and more common for students to do assignments on the
computer. The assignments could be needed to be printed or sent directly to
the teacher over the internet.
Teachers can use computers to provide feedback to students in a multitude of
ways. When assignments are submitted electronically, teachers can provide
feedback on that assignment that students can see at home. The feedback
can also come quicker since the teacher does not have to write anything by
hand.
Teachers can also use computers to provide feedback by using rubrics. Rubrics
can be created on simple software such as Microsoft Word and can use simple
language for English language learners.
7. Scenario #3
Story Time for Me is a website that has
a library of stories that are animated
and read by people aloud. The stories
also have the text on the screen and
highlight word for word as they are
read so the students can see what is
being said.
8. Building Vocabulary
Story Time for Me is a great resource in building a student’s vocabulary,
especially one that is an English language learner.
English is a tricky language and sometimes words sound differently than they
are spelt and the other way around. By seeing the words as they are being
read the students can learn what these words look like. They are also hearing
these words in context and can understand their meanings by using context
clues for the words that they already are familiar with.
Teachers can arrange for students to watch these stories (they are also
animated) during class time or at home in their leisure time.
9. Scenario #4
The students are instructed to work in
small groups to complete an
assignment. In some groups there are
English language learners who are at
different proficiency levels. The
students who are not at a higher level
proficiency level can be given a hand
held translating device. This device
can be used to translate the
assignment as well as conversation
with the group.
10. Cooperative Learning Groups
Translating devices are useful, especially when they are small and portable.
Group work can be intimidating for anyone, especially an English language
learner. In this situation there may not be another student who speaks their
native language and able to translate what is going on that the student may
not understand. By having a hand held translation device the student can look
at a paper or listen to what the others are saying and translate what is going
on.
To help the English language learner the students who are proficient can write
down what they are discussing so that the student who is translating can keep
up. The student can also translate from their native language to English to
include themselves in the conversation.
