A Reflection By Shirley D. Guillermo 1
A Word About language Language is around us everywhere. Without it, life in modern society would be impossible. Business executives use words in planning production and in promoting their products. Politicians use language in discussing the issues, drawing up laws explaining their stand to the voters. Newspapers keep us informed through words. Teachers, lawyers ministers-none could do their work without language. The study of English helps people use language easily and well. It helps people to speak and write effectively, to understand the workings of language and to listen and read with profit and pleasure.
In Order To Speak and write, Develop a Lifelong Interest in Words Success in English requires a knowledge of words. Anyone must learn to study words- to pay attention to new words, to look them up in a dictionary, to watch for them in future listening, reading or writing. Words are interesting in themselves. They are basic building blocks in speech and writing because no one can communicate without words that convey exact meaning. Both in school and in every day life, people who went to do well must be articulate. They must be able to use words easily and well.
The Role of an English Language Teacher A key factor in developing the language skills of the students is a teacher who serves as their role model. The effects of teachers influence and knowledge on the language can be seen in the speaking, writing and reading ability of their students who will come out to be good in using the English language and reflective of the kind of education they have acquired from a teacher. As such, the role of an English language teacher plays an active part to prepare the students to face the challenges of the world as they grow older to be able to interact with others using the language.
The Importance of Knowing the English Grammar Thank you for the helpful explanation on the English Grammar. Having a good knowledge and understanding of it is very important for me as a language teacher. I know that MED 104 (Grammatical Structure of English) will be of great interest to me and my classmates, because we are looking ways on how to improve our teaching skills using the English language. Excellent! I really appreciate it very much. I definitely took away good ideas from the information. Now I know why I always insist my students to be careful with their grammar especially in their compositions coz I was a product of prescriptive grammar.
