@diana26x Hi Diana! I agree that VR can help get the students attention more than the traditional way of teaching! As well as, giving students a break from the traditional pencil and paper learning is a great way to "wake" the students up to become more engaged for sure!

@mrssierrag Hi Sierra! I believe using VR in a classroom is definitely more engaging and interactive as well! Hopefully we will see it being used more often in the future as it will let the students find learning more fun!

[Elysha Totten @elyshatotten]

The use of virtual reality can be a great way for the students to become more engaged and retain information better through their actions instead of just reading a book. #EDU214

I found this website to be very helpful and focuses on language acquisition. Frontiers | Editorial: Language Acquisition in Diverse Linguistic, Social and Cognitive Circumstances | Psychology #eng211sp21 https://t.co/MEj20v1SlM

[Elysha Totten @elyshatotten]

This is an example of the stages language acquisition. #eng211sp21

It’s so crazy to think that Nicaraguan Sign Language didn’t exist until 1980. That’s only 41 years ago. #eng211sp21

I do believe that people view certain languages more aesthetically pleasing than others. However, I find it disrespectful if someone were to say that a language is ugly. #eng211sp21

The first time making an annotated bibliography, I found it to be a lot of work, and finding myself getting bored of reading all of the articles/resources. But I now think it's very beneficial and worth the time and effort. #eng211sp21

[Elysha Totten @elyshatotten]

Personally, I find annotated bibliographies very useful and helpful when you have more than 3 resources. #eng211sp21

[Elysha Totten @elyshatotten]

Annotated bibliographies are very beneficial when writing research papers. They keep you organized and help you understand your topic more/better. #ENG211sp21

I did not know that semantics used to refer to it’s development instead of it’s meaning in a language. #eng211sp21

[Elysha Totten @elyshatotten]

Without grammar, we wouldn’t be able to really understand each other. Even if we were saying the same words in different arrangements of the words, it wouldn’t mean the same thing. #eng211sp21

[Elysha Totten @elyshatotten]

I’m very unsure and confused on what Spelitzian is. #eng211sp21

Developmental stuttering is actually more common in males than females. #ENG211sp21

[Elysha Totten @elyshatotten]

Stuttering occurs most often in children ages 2-6 when they are developing language skills. However, all ages can experience stuttering. #ENG211sp21

A fluency disorder is an interruption in the flow of speech. #ENG211sp21

I found it interesting that german learners are taught the manner-place-time rule when learning engish, even though it is not a rule of english. #eng211sp21

[Elysha Totten @elyshatotten]

I did not know that there was more than one meaning for the word “grammar”. #eng211sp21

[Elysha Totten @elyshatotten]

After reading the NY Times article I realized how many “terms of exclusion” I use in my everyday vocabulary. Which I feel I should change because it’s not very nice to say about strangers. Like calling someone a creep, yet I don’t personally know them, that’s rude. #eng211sp21

[Elysha Totten @elyshatotten]

It's hard to believe that there might be people that still use Shakespearean language, but with no evidence and it all being word of mouth, it could be true. I, personally, would have a hard time understanding them though. #eng211sp21
