Lecture 3 Differences writing&speech
This document discusses the differences between writing and speech. Some key differences are that writing is usually permanent while speech can be corrected or changed as it is spoken. Written language also tends to be more complex with longer sentences and clauses, while spoken language contains more repetitions and interruptions. Writers can make use of formatting and layout techniques that are not available for speech, while speech utilizes tone, volume and other audio elements to provide context. Some grammar and vocabulary are also only used in one form versus the other.

This document discusses the influence of a learner's native language, Arabic, on acquiring English grammar. It outlines six major differences between Arabic and English grammar: word order, article use, verb agreement, the verb "be", object repetition, and question formation. These differences lead Arabic learners of English to commonly make errors like placing verbs before subjects, overusing definite articles, and omitting forms of "be". Understanding patterns in learner errors can help teachers adopt effective teaching strategies to improve language acquisition.
Berry u11a1 language comparison
This document compares and contrasts the key features of the English and Spanish languages. It discusses how Spanish uses the Latin alphabet and has consonant and vowel sounds that coincide with spelling. Spanish is considered an inflectional language where words change form to indicate relation to other words. Both English and Spanish have aspects of inflectional, isolating, and agglutinative features. The document also explores differences in phonemes between the languages and how punctuation is used. It provides examples of how the differences between the first language and new language can cause errors for English language learners and implications for instruction.

The document discusses the differences between the Spanish verbs "ser" and "estar". Ser is used to describe permanent characteristics of a person or thing, such as nationality. Estar is used to describe temporary characteristics or states of being, such as being lost. Examples are provided to illustrate when to use ser versus estar, such as "Yo soy Americano" versus "Yo estoy americano", and "Estoy perdido" versus "Soy perdido". The document advises learning basic phrases using these verbs to be helpful in real situations.
Difficulties for Spanish Speakers Learning English
This document highlights common grammatical difficulties for Spanish speakers learning English, including differences in pronouns, adjectives, plurals, articles, and subject dropping. Native language influences, such as Spanish rules for possessive pronouns and adjectives, can cause learners to make errors like using possessive pronouns that agree with objects or placing adjectives after nouns. Teachers must be aware of potential transfer errors to effectively address them.
Speaking and writing
There are differences in how language is used in speaking versus writing. Verb tenses, forms, and voices are used differently, with present and simple verb forms predominating in speech. Speech uses short utterances rather than complete sentences and does not use punctuation or layout. It allows for corrections and relies on tone, volume, and pacing to provide context. Writing is usually permanent and can communicate across distances, while speech is transient unless recorded and used for immediate interactions.

Language Comparison (Korean, Japanese and English)
This document summarizes and compares features of Korean, Japanese, and English languages. It discusses phonological and morphological differences such as consonant and vowel phonemes. Korean and Japanese are topic-prominent languages that rely on word endings, while English is subject-prominent and relies on word order. The writing systems are also compared, with Korean having a unique alphabet created for phonetic representation. Implications for teaching a second language are that differences can pose pronunciation challenges, but understanding morphological features can help literacy instruction by relating words across languages.
Spanish verb tenses
This document provides an overview of Spanish verb tenses and grammar structures. It begins by discussing the importance of mastering Spanish verb tenses and conjugations when learning the language.
