This document provides information and strategies for enhancing one's vocabulary. It defines vocabulary as the body of words used in a particular language. Some key ways to build vocabulary mentioned include reading widely, being aware of unfamiliar words encountered, using a dictionary, and regularly studying and reviewing words. The document also discusses using context clues like rewording, synonyms, antonyms, and details in a text to determine the meaning of unfamiliar words based on the context provided by surrounding words.
This document defines and categorizes the different parts of speech in syntax. It discusses lexical categories such as nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, determiners, prepositions, pronouns, conjunctions and auxiliary verbs. It also examines phrasal categories including noun phrases, verb phrases, adjective phrases, adverbial phrases and prepositional phrases. Examples are provided to illustrate different parts of speech and how they are arranged to form sentences.
The document discusses verbs and verb groups in English. It defines lexical verbs and auxiliary verbs. Auxiliary verbs can indicate tense, aspect, modality, or voice. There are two tenses in English - present and past. Future is indicated using auxiliary verbs like "will" rather than as a separate tense. Aspect includes perfect (have + past participle) and progressive (be + -ing). Modal auxiliaries do not indicate tense and are followed by the infinitive form of the verb. Primary auxiliaries are have, be, and do. The order of auxiliaries is tense/modal, perfect, progressive, passive. Do is used for negation, questions, and emphasis and is followed by the infinit
This document provides an overview of syllables, including their nature, structure in English, and principles of syllable division. It defines a syllable phonetically as consisting of an onset, nucleus, and coda. The English syllable structure is described as having optional onsets with one or more consonants and codas with up to four consonants. Principles of maximal onsets and sonority are introduced for dividing syllables between words. Examples demonstrate possible consonant combinations in onsets, codas, and ambisyllabic consonants.
This document defines and provides examples of different types of ambiguity:
- Lexical ambiguity occurs when a word has more than one meaning depending on context.
- Homophones and homonyms are words that sound the same but have different meanings or spellings.
- Polysemy is when a word has multiple related meanings.
- Metonymy is when one concept is used to represent another closely related concept.
- Structural ambiguity occurs when a phrase or sentence structure allows for multiple interpretations.
This document discusses native speaker intuitions about words and lexical categories. It notes that we intuitively understand that words exist as independent linguistic units, even though there is no clear acoustic evidence delineating words. It then discusses how words can be categorized into lexical categories or parts of speech based on semantic definitions, morphological evidence like suffixes, and syntactic evidence like distributional tests that show how words can be inserted into frames depending on their category. Overall, the document examines how we intuitively understand words and lexical categories even without clear-cut evidence, drawing on semantics, morphology and syntax.
The gerund is a non-finite verb form that ends in "-ing" and can function as a noun. As a noun, gerunds can serve as the subject, object, or complement of a sentence. However, gerunds retain qualities of verbs as well, as they can take objects and are often used after certain verbs like "enjoy" and "consider". It is important to understand whether a verb ending in "-ing" is functioning as a gerund or present participle based on how it is used in a sentence.

This document summarizes the Period of Emergence in Philippine literature from 1935-1959. During this time, Filipino writers gained mastery of the English language and began writing patriotic and resistance literature as various groups of writers emerged. Poetry and prose took on new forms to express the struggles of Filipinos during and after World War II and their longing for independence. Literature was used as a tool to assert Filipino identity. The excerpted poem "When I See a Barong-Barong" by Maximo Ramos describes makeshift neighborhoods that formed in war-torn Manila and expresses pride in the Filipino spirit for surviving difficulties.
The document discusses the sounds of General American English. It is divided into three main sections: vowels, diphthongs, and consonants. For vowels, there are 11 distinct vowel sounds. Diphthongs combine two vowel sounds within one syllable, and there are three diphthong sounds in English. Consonants are speech sounds made with partial or full obstruction of air flow, and there are 25 consonant sounds classified as either voiced or voiceless.
This document discusses the different types of context clues that can help readers understand the meaning of unfamiliar words: [1] Definition/explanation clues provide a direct definition within the text; [2] Restatement/synonym clues restate the word's meaning; [3] Contrast/antonym clues contrast an unfamiliar word with a familiar antonym; [4] Inference/general clues allow readers to infer meaning based on the context. The document provides examples of each type of context clue and guidance on using context to determine a word's definition.

Prosodic features are aspects of speech beyond phonemes that deal with the auditory qualities of sound, such as pause, pitch, stress, volume, and tempo. Pause can demarcate grammatical units or indicate hesitation. Pitch affects meaning through rises and falls, showing feelings. Stress emphasizes words and alters sentence meaning. Volume increases for stress or to show emotions. Tempo can indicate states like impatience or reflectiveness. These features are difficult to represent fully in writing.
This document discusses sentence fragments and how to identify and fix them. It defines a sentence fragment as an incomplete sentence that is missing a subject, verb, or complete idea. Examples of fragments are provided and fixed by adding subjects and verbs. There are three methods to fix fragments: attaching the fragment to another sentence, adding a subject or verb, or removing the fragment-causing phrase. Sentence fragments should generally be avoided in formal writing.
1. Transition and transfer predicates are verbs that express movement or change of location. Transition predicates involve movement of the theme alone, while transfer predicates involve an agent causing movement.
2. Common transition predicates focus on the goal, manner, path, or cause/purpose of movement. Transfer predicates involve an agent changing the location of either the theme alone or both the agent and theme.
3. The structure of sentences involving transition or transfer typically involves a theme/actor, source, goal, and sometimes path. The time frame also involves the theme/actor being at the source at Time 0 and goal at Time+.

Final demo technical vocabulary for drama and theater Lesson Plan TMDI FormatCharlene Che Belmonte
This learning plan summarizes a 60-minute English class for 9th grade students on technical vocabulary for drama and theater. The class will begin with introductions and then the teacher will provide context for why it is important to understand technical theater terms. Students will participate in modeling and group activities to learn terms like crossfader, prompt book, and green room by matching images to their definitions. For assessment, students will complete an independent practice worksheet identifying additional technical terms from images. The lesson aims to familiarize students with technical vocabulary to enhance appreciation of drama and theater.
This document discusses different types of definitions, including technical definitions. It explains that technical definitions can describe a term through description, comparison to something familiar, examples, or illustrations. Technical definitions often explain technical terms and jargon. The document provides examples of technical definitions for terms like "aileron", "flash drive", and "computer". It also discusses operational definitions as applying a specific meaning to a word within a particular context or group.
Technical vocabulary for drama and theaterTelle Figueroa
Theatre or theater is a collaborative art form that uses live performers to present an experience to an audience. Performers communicate through gestures, speech, music, dance, etc. The specific place of performance is called a theater, derived from the Greek word meaning "a place for viewing." Some key figures in the development of modern theater include William Shakespeare and Henrik Ibsen.
An inference is a conclusion drawn from evidence and reasoning rather than being directly stated. It allows readers to make assumptions and draw conclusions from implied clues. For example, if someone hears a bang and crying from upstairs where their toddler is in bed, they can infer the toddler fell out of bed, or if someone hears their mailbox close and their dog barking, they can infer the mail carrier delivered their mail. Inferences require readers to think for themselves rather than being directly told.
Truth and relevance of ideas in a material viewed.pptxherzeli
The document discusses viewing as an active process of comprehending visual media. It explains that effective viewers go through three steps: pre-viewing to prepare and make predictions, viewing to understand the message by interpreting and summarizing, and post-viewing to respond and reflect on what was viewed. Some example viewing activities are outlined, such as picture analysis, written responses to emergency situations, and a quiz on viewing stages and statements.
Modals are helping verbs that express ideas like possibility and permission. Common modals for requesting permission include can, could, may, and would. "Can" and "may" are informal while "could" and "would" are more polite. For example, "Can I borrow your pen?" is informal while "Could I borrow your pen?" is more polite. Modals are also used to give, refuse, or ask about permission in the past.
This document discusses colloquialisms, which are informal words or phrases used in casual conversation rather than formal writing. It provides examples of colloquial expressions commonly used in American English. The document explains that authors may incorporate colloquialisms into literature to make dialogue feel more realistic and authentic to different regions or communities. Using character-specific colloquialisms can help readers connect with characters and add variety.
Metonymy is a figure of speech where an associated thing or concept is referred to by the name of something else closely related to it. It is commonly used in both literature and everyday speech. For example, "pen" can stand in for "written word" and "sword" for "military aggression." Metonymy is based on an understood association between the thing referenced and the thing used for reference, unlike metaphor which relies on analogy. Examples of common metonymic references include "Hollywood" for the American film industry. Its main purpose is to add variety and interest to writing rather than repetitive phrasing.
Using conditional-in-expressing-argumentsJohnSmith5397
This document provides information about using different types of conditionals to express arguments:
- Zero conditional uses present tense and refers to general truths and habits (e.g. "If you leave the object, it drops").
- First conditional uses present tense and simple future to refer to likely future situations (e.g. "If you don't hurry, you will be late").
- Second conditional uses past tense and "would" to talk about unlikely or improbable situations (e.g. "If I won the lottery, I would buy a house").
- Third conditional uses past perfect tense to describe actions that could have been different if past conditions were different (e.g. "If

Practice examples are provided for students to identify context clue types and define sample words. Tutoring help is available for students needing additional support with vocabulary in context skills.
This document provides information about vocabulary instruction and development. It discusses the importance of vocabulary knowledge, different types of vocabulary words, and strategies to increase vocabulary. Some key points include:
- Vocabulary is essential to comprehension. Both breadth (number of words known) and depth (how well words are known) are important dimensions of vocabulary.
- Vocabulary can be learned indirectly through conversations, reading, etc. or directly through explicit instruction of words and word-learning strategies.
- Context clues, structural analysis of word parts, and dictionary use are strategies to develop vocabulary. Wide reading is also important for implicit vocabulary learning.
- Vocabulary interventions should address words of varying frequency and difficulty across three tiers
Nouns name people, places, things, and ideas. Verbs express actions and states of being. Adjectives describe nouns, while adverbs describe verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. Prepositions show relationships within sentences and introduce prepositional phrases. Understanding parts of speech helps improve writing and serves as a foundation for proper English grammar.

Scandinavian literature consists of writings in the North Germanic languages of Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Denmark and the Faeroe Islands. The geography of Scandinavia influenced its literature, with Norway and Sweden located on the Scandinavian peninsula and Denmark located on a separate peninsula. After Christianity was introduced around 1000 AD, Latin began to replace runic alphabets and a rich tradition of medieval literature in Latin and the various Scandinavian languages developed. Major authors and periods of national literature emerged in each Scandinavian country from the 19th century onward.
Administrative Order No. 378 created a National Steering Committee in 1998 to implement Project RISE (Rescue Initiative in Science Education), a 5-year teacher training program run by the Department of Science and Technology. The project aimed to improve the competencies of elementary and secondary science and math teachers through 180 hours of supplemental training in areas like general science, biology, chemistry, and physics. It sought to address issues like many teachers not having majored in the subjects they taught. While the free training helped provide teachers more content knowledge and teaching strategies, budget and time constraints limited its ability to significantly improve student performance in science and math. This document discusses reviving Project RISE through new legislation.

LGUs play an important role in supporting basic education in the Philippines. They provide supplementary funding through the Special Education Fund (SEF), which is allocated for basic education. In 2005, LGUs spent a total of PHP 11.9 billion on education, with 86.5% from the SEF and 13.5% from the General Fund. The SEF was meant to be used exclusively for activities like teacher salaries, school buildings/repairs, textbooks, and teaching materials. LGUs are considered major partners of the national government in delivering basic education services, and their financial support through the SEF is critical to achieving education goals.
Technology integration in teaching involves using technology resources like computers, digital cameras, and the internet to enhance classroom instruction and improve student learning. The focus should be on meaningful student activities using technology, not just using technology for its own sake. Teachers must learn how to incorporate technology into their lesson plans to facilitate active engagement, meet varying student needs, and provide authentic learning experiences. Technology is becoming essential in teaching and learning as it develops 21st century skills students need like critical thinking, communication, and using the right tools for tasks.

Biology is the study of living organisms including their anatomy, physiology, and behavior. Personality is defined as distinctive characteristics that form an individual's character. The biological perspective focuses on how personality traits manifest through biological factors like genes, brain structures, and neurotransmitters. Genetics and twin studies provide evidence that personality is influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. Specific genes and areas of the brain, such as dopamine and serotonin pathways, have been associated with certain personality traits.

The document discusses Carlos Ghosn's views on leadership. It states that Ghosn believes an excellent company enriches its shareholders, customers, employees, and society. Leaders must balance short-term and long-term goals and make decisions based on value creation rather than emotion. According to Ghosn, having "professional craftsmen" who make balanced, value-based decisions will determine whether a company is respected or not by society.
This document discusses power structures that influence schools. It outlines four main power structures: 1) The state/province which establishes orderly programs and backs local board decisions, 2) The local community which dictates attitudes and determines the extent of controversial issues discussed, 3) The board of education which exercises power over staff based on education laws and its own rules and regulations as well as some members' positions in the community, and 4) School administrators whose power is directly derived from the board of education and who are "strong" based on the authority granted by the board.
This document discusses different types of authority and behaviors of people in positions of authority. It outlines 3 types of authority: 1) authority based on rational grounds like legally constituted positions, 2) authority based on traditional grounds deriving from long history like monarchy, and 3) authority based on charismatic grounds where the leader has exceptional characteristics. It also describes how staff are organized and behave depending on the type of authority, with bureaucracy having impersonal obedience to positions rather than people.
Leadership is both a research area and practical skill regarding an individual's ability to lead others, with a focus on personality, physical traits, behavior, and relationships between leaders and followers. Leadership can be studied as either a mature or immature science, as well as an art involving the skillful application of leadership behaviors and techniques, such as charismatic leadership. Researchers have defined leadership as processes involving inducing subordinates, directing groups, transforming followers, and focusing resources to accomplish goals.
Indigenous women and girls in the Philippines face significant challenges in accessing education. Social norms sometimes prevent indigenous girls from attending school so they can help with domestic work instead. While female literacy rates are slightly higher than males, indigenous girls have less access to education due to living in remote areas without basic services like schools. Ensuring education is available in indigenous languages and improving access and participation for remote communities is important to addressing these inequities.

The lesson includes activities like group work to organize shapes into a bar graph, analyzing sample bar graphs, and applying understanding to answer questions from a bar graph. The goal is for students to understand how to properly construct and interpret information from bar graphs.
The document provides a detailed lesson plan for a mathematics class on evaluating algebraic expressions. It includes objectives, subject matter, instructional procedures, evaluation, and assignment. The lesson involves identifying steps to evaluate expressions, applying those steps through group activities, and showing appreciation for group work. Students work in groups to evaluate expressions when given values for variables. They are evaluated on accuracy, timeliness, and cooperation. For an assignment, students evaluate expressions when given different values for two variables.
