This document discusses language and communication. It defines language as a system used by a cultural group to express thoughts and feelings. The key linguistic elements that make up all languages are discussed, including phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics and pragmatics. The document also explores why language is culture-based, the language environment, communication styles and roles, and cognates - true cognates that share meaning/spelling across languages versus false cognates that appear similar but mean different things. It stresses the importance of understanding cognates in Philippine languages that have been influenced by Spanish and English due to the country's history of colonization.
The document discusses Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education (MTB-MLE) in the Philippines. It notes that under DepEd guidelines, there are 19 major local languages used as the medium of instruction from kindergarten to grade 3. 12 languages are currently used in MTB-MLE programs, with 7 additional languages added in 2013-2014. The goals of MTB-MLE include developing students' second language abilities, academic skills, cognitive development, and lifelong learning through the use of the mother tongue as the primary language of instruction.
The document outlines the fundamental requirements for an effective Mother Tongue Based Multilingual Education (MTBMLE) program according to the Department of Education. It notes that using a child's first language as the primary medium of instruction until at least Grade 3 helps facilitate understanding of subjects. The requirements also include developing instructional materials in local languages, continuing education for teachers on using the first language to develop students' thinking skills, and ensuring support from parents and the community.
Mother Tongue Based - Multilingual Education (MTB-MLE) in PhilippinesDåLé Rǝnomǝron
This document discusses mother tongue-based multilingual education (MTB-MLE) in the Philippines. It defines key terms like mother tongue and multilingual. MTB-MLE uses the children's mother tongue in the classroom to facilitate learning Filipino and English. The goals are to develop cognitive skills to operate in different languages, and to preserve Philippine culture. The Department of Education implemented MTB-MLE for 12 languages, and recently added 7 more dialects. Benefits include reduced dropout rates, repetition, and increased student attendance and learning. Not using the mother tongue can lead to learning difficulties and loss of heritage language and culture.
The document discusses mother tongue-based multilingual education (MTB-MLE) in the Philippines. Some key points:
- DepEd issued an order in 2009 to institutionalize MTB-MLE, using students' first language as the primary medium of instruction from preschool to Grade 3. Additional languages like Filipino and English are introduced gradually starting in Grade 2.
- MTB-MLE helps students understand lessons better and develop a sense of nationalism and cultural identity. It reduces dropout rates compared to only using English for instruction.
- The Philippines has over 180 languages but some are endangered. MTB-MLE aims to preserve local languages and culture.
- Studies show positive results from MTB
This learning module provides an overview of key concepts related to child and adolescent learners and learning principles. It is divided into four modules that cover basic concepts of human development, developmental theories, development at various stages, and learning theories. The first topic introduces the 14 Learner-Centered Psychological Principles developed by the American Psychological Association, which are divided into cognitive/metacognitive, motivational/affective, developmental/social, and individual difference factors. The principles emphasize that learning is most effective when the learner constructs their own understanding, thinks strategically, and is influenced by environmental context. Future teachers are asked to consider how to apply each principle through classroom activities.

This document provides an outline for a course on teaching English in elementary grades. It discusses various topics that will be covered in the course, including perspectives on first and second language acquisition, methods for teaching language skills like listening, speaking, reading and writing, and developing vocabulary and comprehension skills. The course aims to teach strategies and techniques for addressing specific language skills and assessing ESL students. It will cover developing lesson plans and using literature and technology in ESL instruction.
Linguistics is the study of language. The document outlines four major views of language: structuralism, transformationalism, functionalism, and interactionalism. Structuralism views language as a system of observable elements like sounds, words and sentences. Transformationalism sees language as innate and universal, governed by an innate language acquisition device. Functionalism emphasizes the meaning and functions of language in communication. Interactionalism considers language a tool for social interactions and relationships through conversation.
This document discusses three teaching methods for language acquisition: part-to-whole, whole-to-part, and balanced. The part-to-whole method teaches the smallest language units first and builds up to more complex concepts. Whole-to-part starts with full texts and breaks them down. The balanced method focuses on both language parts for accuracy and whole texts for meaning. It helps learners build competence and confidence in skills like listening, speaking, reading and writing in a meaningful and accurate way. Key terms discussed are accuracy, meaning, and the work of Susan E. Malone on mother tongue education.

The guiding principles for teaching and learning mtb mlePaula Marie Llido
The document outlines 8 guiding principles for teaching and learning in a multilingual environment:
1) Learning builds on existing knowledge in the first language.
2) Strong development of the first language facilitates learning additional languages and academic achievement.
3) Using multiple languages enhances cognitive flexibility and higher-order thinking.
4) Discovery learning occurs through guided practice and application of new concepts.
5) Active learning through peer interaction, hands-on activities, and discussion helps build confidence.
6) Language learning requires a focus on both meaning and accuracy.
7) Transferring knowledge between languages is normal but may take two years for basic communication skills.
8) Students thrive in welcoming environments that value their home languages
The document discusses research on literacy in the 21st century. It covers:
1) Traditional literacy skills are still important but must be supplemented with new literacies like digital, visual, and screen literacy due to technological changes.
2) Research shows people read more slowly and less deeply from screens due to distractions. This may impact comprehension and higher order thinking.
3) Students demonstrate poor reading behaviors online like rapid clicking and scanning rather than deep reading. This impacts their ability to complete complex tasks requiring comprehension. Traditional literacy remains essential for online literacy.
The document describes Grace Goodell's Reading Skills Ladder, which outlines 16 reading skills in a progression.

A common language is one of the most important features of a community. Language is a means of communication that conveys culture and traditions. It is a social phenomenon that allows people to interact and cooperate. Language is symbolic, systematic, vocal, non-instinctive, and conventional. It is acquired through social learning rather than innate instincts. A first language is acquired naturally as a child, while additional languages are learned later in life, requiring more effort. Understanding students' language backgrounds is important for effective education.
Language is basically a means of communication amongst the associates of society. Language is a fundamental aspect of the appearance of culture and tradition. A language is a tool that conveys our culture, values, and traditions related to group identity. It is an important part of human connection. Even though all species have their own methods of communication, humans are the ones that have proficient at cognitive language communication.
The work of speech organs necessary for making speech sounds is called articulation. According to
The specific character of articulation, especially according to the presence or absence of the obstruction speech sounds are divided into vowels and consonants. The most substantial difference between vowels and consonants is that in the articulation of vowels the air passes freely through the mouth cavity, while in making consonants an obstruction is formed in the mouth cavity or in the pharynx and the flow of the air meets a narrowing or complete obstruction. Vowels have no fixed place of articulation, the whole of the speaking apparatus takes part in their formation, while the articulation of consonants can be localized, and an obstruction or a narrowing for each consonant is formed at a definite place of the speaking apparatus. In producing vowels all the organs of speech are tense, while in making consonants, the organs of speech are tense only in the place of obstruction. Voice prevails in vowels while in most consonants noise prevails over voice. Vowels are syllable forming sounds while consonants are not, as a rule.
Twins Are Sometimes Observed To Make Up Their Own LanguagesSheila Guy
This summary discusses George Orwell's view on the relationship between thought and language as expressed in his essay "Politics and the English Language".
1. Orwell believed that thought and language influence each other - corrupt or unclear thought can corrupt language, and corrupt or unclear language can corrupt thought.
2. He saw issues emerging in modern English language use, such as dead metaphors, pretentious diction, and meaningless words. Orwell argued these things negatively impacted political language and discourse.
3. For Orwell, clear and honest political thought needed to be expressed through straightforward language using clear meanings and without nonsense phrases. He felt improving writing standards could help clarity in political life.
Language is the most powerful system of communication between humans. It is a system of symbols and rules that allows for meaningful communication between individuals and across cultures. For a system of communication to be considered a language, it must meet certain criteria, including having standardized rules, a community of speakers to give it vitality, a sense of identity and history for its speakers, autonomy, and characteristics of being systematic yet flexible. The building blocks of any language include phonemes, morphemes, and grammatical rules that specify how these elements are combined.
The document discusses methods of word formation in English. It begins by introducing linguistics as the scientific study of human language, which can be broken into three categories: phonetics, semantics, and syntax. It then provides a brief introduction to the main methods of word formation in English, including affixation (adding prefixes and suffixes to words to form new words), compounding (combining words to form new words), and conversion (changing a word's class without changing its form).
1. The document discusses the study of meaning, including how children acquire language and the knowledge speakers have about their language.
2. It examines meaning from the perspectives of psychology, philosophy, and linguistics. Key aspects of language include it being a systematic, conventional symbolic system that is learned and constantly evolving.
3. A speaker's semantic knowledge involves having a vocabulary and understanding how to pronounce and combine words to communicate meanings to others.
Language and culture are closely intertwined. A language carries the culture of the people who speak it and influences their worldview. As children learn their first language from parents and community, it transmits culture from one generation to the next. The relationship between language and culture is complex; they influence each other as they develop and cannot be fully separated. Speaking a new language means interacting with a new culture in ways of thinking and communication styles.

Unit 1 Importance of English as a second language.pdfshahjehan31
English is an important second language in Pakistan that enables global communication, opportunities for growth, and access to education and employment (Paragraph 1). It plays a key role in today's interconnected world and acts as a lingua franca connecting people and cultures (Paragraph 2). English serves various functions in Pakistan, including facilitating access to information, cultural exchange, career prospects, and academic excellence (Paragraph 3).
- Human communication develops from an early age, beginning in the womb when fetuses can hear the mother's voice. Babies then progress from crying to understanding words and producing simple two-word sentences.
- The brain has specialized regions like Broca's and Wernicke's areas that are involved in language production and comprehension. Damage to these areas can cause aphasia and impair language abilities.
- When processing speech, sound is analyzed in the temporal lobe and auditory cortex before being distributed to other brain regions for higher-level language processing. Communication is made possible by complex and rapid interactions between different brain areas.

- The brain has specialized regions like Broca's and Wernicke's areas that process language. Damage to these areas can cause aphasia and impair language abilities.
- Language develops through both innate and learned processes. Theories debate the extent to which language is innate versus learned through conditioning and social interactions.
Language is a complex system of communication that humans learn through both innate and environmental factors. It involves using symbols according to a set of rules. Children progress through several stages in acquiring language, starting with babbling and moving to one-word, two-word, and multi-word sentences as their vocabularies and understanding of grammar increase. Theories on language development include nativist, behaviorist, and interactionist perspectives on the roles of biological predisposition, environmental learning, and social interaction.
This document discusses the nature of language and sociolinguistics. It begins by defining sociolinguistics as the study of the relationship between language and society. It notes that language and society are deeply interconnected. The document then discusses several key aspects of language, including its symbolic and systematic nature. It defines terms like lingua franca, vernacular language, and standard language. It also discusses pidgin and creole languages. Finally, it lists 10 characteristics of human language, such as its arbitrary, social, symbolic, and creative nature.
This document discusses the relationship between language and culture. It argues that language is central to culture, as culture is transmitted orally through language. Understanding another culture's subtle meanings requires knowledge of its language. Different languages reflect different ways of categorizing the world and processing information. As cultures see the world differently, their languages express different beliefs and values. Language influences thought processes and is integral to cultural identity.
Human beings can communicate with each other probably in their mother tongue. Able to exchange knowledge, believe opinions, wishes, threats, thanks
Language is a system of communication based on words and the combination of words into sentences.
This document provides an introduction to the topics that will be covered in a course on linguistics. It discusses definitions of language and what it means to know a language. It describes the key components of grammar, including the sound system, word structures, sentence patterns, and relationships between sounds and meanings. It distinguishes between linguistic competence and performance. It also introduces the concept of universal grammar and lists several types of grammars, briefly describing descriptive, pedagogical, prescriptive, reference, theoretical, and traditional grammars. The first unit discusses theories about the origins of language and the second unit provides an overview of the development of writing systems.
This document discusses linguistic and social inequality. It begins by introducing the concept of linguistic inequality and how people's language use varies based on their social status. It then describes two main types of linguistic inequality: 1) Subjective inequality, which relates to perceptions and prejudices about others' speech, and 2) Communicative inequality, which involves knowledge of appropriate language use. The document goes on to discuss linguistic prejudice in more detail, how it manifests in educational settings, and how speech can influence stereotypes and social judgments.
