@elyshatotten I think this is very disrespectful as well. No language is “better” or “prettier” than another. All have a purpose and are great in their own ways as this is the way people communicate.
@JessLocklier I found this very interesting because I couldn’t believe it only became a sign language in 1980. Even more amazing that the deaf children were able to create their own.
I enjoyed reading about language acquisition. I didn’t know there were so many cognitive stages of development when it came to fully being able to speak. #eng211sp21
@elyshatotten I agree! I think it gives my paper a lot more structure and keeps me on track, as well as making the actual writing process faster when it’s time to create the paper.
While reading about my topic of stuttering, I discovered that many children with stuttering difficulties may feel anxious and embarrassed and this can carry on to their adulthood. I find it sad that peers make fun of their classmates for things they can’t control. #eng211sp21
After not creating an annotated bibliography for many past papers, I found it to be very helpful and wish I would have done these more. I like having everything planned out and I feel more confident about writing my paper! #eng211sp21
This week while learning about semantics, I learned about the differences between a homography, a homonymy, and a homophony. Very similar words with closely related meanings! #eng211sp21
I wanted to write about speech disorders because my career goal is to be a speech pathologist. This topic interests me a lot and I’m ready to learn more about it. #ENG211sp21
For my research paper, I decided on writing about the most common speech disorders in children. I’m going to talk about how therapy can help correct each disorder and the prime ages for each occurring. #ENG211sp21
@elyshatotten I think this is interesting too! You would think that it would be a rule of English..I guess people who are learning just have diffferent ways to learn the language since it is so difficult
Teaching children about syntax would help children learn better in my opinion. I think this is a huge part of speaking and it’s crazy to me that there is not more emphasis on it. #eng211sp21
