The document discusses the importance of understanding multi-word items in English for future teachers and language learners. It explains that multi-word items can provide deeper comprehension of English vocabulary and how words are formed. It also notes that different variations of English, like British and American, can affect multi-word items. Finally, it stresses that knowing multi-word items can help future teachers anticipate difficulties their students may face and prepare to teach vocabulary in a way that helps learners understand and use items appropriately.Reflection 
Reflection KarlaEssmann

This reflection discusses how reading the text "Vocabulary connections: Multi-word items in English" helped the author better understand lexical analysis concepts from their course. The text clearly defined different types of multi-word items and emphasized the links between words rather than treating them as isolated units. It helped the author not only identify various multi-word items but also learn better ways to teach them, which is important as a future English teacher. The text is also highly relevant to the course objectives by characterizing word formation processes and analyzing words, as well as categorizing multi-word items and identifying types such as phrasal verbs, compounds, and idioms.Reflection 3

This document discusses different types of dictionaries and their appropriate uses for language learners. It begins by explaining that dictionaries are an important learning tool but many teachers do not teach students how to use them effectively. It then describes bilingual dictionaries, monolingual dictionaries for native speakers, learner dictionaries designed for language learners, picture dictionaries, and production dictionaries. While bilingual dictionaries can provide quick translations, learner dictionaries are better for developing independent English skills when students are ready. Both have roles to play and teachers should guide students on the appropriate uses of each.Teaching vocabulary to advanced students

This document discusses teaching vocabulary to advanced English language students. It notes that while students can learn many words, they must also be able to use them appropriately in terms of style, register, dialect and other factors. When teaching new vocabulary, teachers should consider items that are meaningful to students and limit the number of chunks to around seven items, as larger amounts can be difficult to learn. Teachers should also foster student independence by having them use dictionaries and context clues as well as work together to understand unknown words. Preparing lessons that consider students' skills and environment is important for future teachers to meet their students' needs.Reference Grammar by Marichelle De Guzman

The document outlines what constitutes a reference grammar, including an introduction about the language and its speakers, the main body organized by grammatical structures, and sections on index, bibliography, and abbreviations. It also notes strengths like being designed to teach about a language and serve as a reference, but weaknesses include lack of clear distinctions between languages and accounting for language variation. Finally, it implies reference grammars serve mother-tongue speakers wanting to learn more about their language and linguists making comparisons to other languages.Reference Grammar by Marichelle De Guzman

This document discusses morphology and vocabulary acquisition in the English language. It explains that morphology, the study of word formation, can help learners of English break down unfamiliar words into constituent parts to determine meaning. However, it notes that some words cannot be analyzed this way due to consisting of a single morpheme or having an unknown meaning. Additionally, idioms present difficulties as their meanings cannot be derived from individual words. The document also discusses other challenges like clitics, words not listed in dictionaries, and changes in vocabulary over time. Overall, it analyzes the complexities of the English lexicon and how morphology can aid but also has limitations in understanding new vocabulary.ITL 520 Week Three Assignment: Content Area Thinking, Language, and Literacy

The document analyzes a teacher's perspective on a course book used for teaching English. The teacher finds the course book provided by the Chilean government to be important, but thinks it focuses too much on grammar and needs more engaging, communicative activities.

The document summarizes a course assignment where students evaluated an English textbook used in Chilean public schools. They analyzed that the textbook was quite plain and lacked current information and images. One key aspect realized was that teachers have the ability to decide whether to use the entire textbook to organize lessons or select and adapt materials appropriately according to students' needs, as the author's professors had done by choosing activities based on the class level and preferences. Coursebooks can be useful tools if used properly with students' needs in mind.Coursebook

The document summarizes a unit in a language course that introduced the course, differentiated between language acquisition and learning, and studied the implications of L1 and L2. The theories of Cook, Krashen, and Freeman & Freeman were analyzed and compared through assigned works. The student found the unit useful for learning relevant language teaching theories and enjoyed writing the paper, seeing it as an opportunity to correct mistakes, which they try to reflect with their own students.2nd unit reflection

This document summarizes the key things the author learned about the lexical approach to teaching English as a second language. The author learned that the lexical approach focuses on (1) teaching language in chunks rather than isolated words to mimic natural language acquisition, and (2) prioritizing vocabulary over grammar. Through practice teaching, the author observed students understanding whole sentences first before focusing on specific words, showing how the lexical approach helped students comprehend language in a more holistic way.Language in Society
- 1. The following reflection is based on the text Language in Society/Society in Language and it is focused on the main contents covered in this section. This chapter it is mainly centered on the differences between linguistic concepts. Firstly, there is a big amount of examples of languages and dialects that exist in Papua New Guinea; which I think were confusing and excessive. Even though I got confused by some many names and comparison, as long as I read, I found some more interesting points of view and explanations. The confusion among linguistics terms such as language, dialect and accent is perfectly common in our reality as language learners, but I realized that once you read this material the confusion disappears. I have to admit that this time the examples did help me understand the explanations. One of the things that got me thinking is the difficultly that represents to linguistics to define terms such as language and dialect because even though it seems as simply question, it is not because all of the matters that contribute to this definition of concepts. I believe this material is a good help for everyone who is learning English, but especially for future teachers, because we have to be able to differentiate the diverse terms and be capable of providing good examples to our students in the future. This chapter clarifies common mistakes related to linguistics terms that we usually make and states that it is not easy to define terms of linguistics matters. This may not be the best text I have ever read, but it helped me improve my knowledge and vocabulary due to some specific vocabulary. Camila Cuevas Araneda.
