@chrischavez044 Hi Chris! I definitely agree VR is the future for educators! If VR is implemented more into lesson plans and therapy, it creates the opportunity for kids to learn in ways they never knew existed. Engagement in classrooms will increase, allowing the students to learn even more.

@holiday3190 Hi Laura! I had never thought of using VR in this way before. This seems like a fantastic way to help children with autism with sensory sensitivities and improve communication capabilities. As a future speech pathologist, this is a great thing to keep in mind! Great thinking! (:

VR can be an excellent tool in the classroom to help students become engaged in exciting interactive lessons! Virtual reality earth exploration is a great example of what can be done with VR! Anywhere in the world at any period of time can be explored through VR!

The “Rebel or Yankee” assignment was pretty fun! I enjoyed clicking through the answers and seeing which pronunciation comes from which region! Had no idea people from southern Wisconsin and Massachusetts call a water fountain a “bubbler”!

After living in the Nevada for so long, I don’t really notice a certain dialect or accent here! But I definitely can hear accents from other parts of the US! What do you guys think is a word/pronunciation specific to the Nevada or the South West?

How do you say the word caramel?

I say care-a-mel, yet the rest of my family pronounces it car-mel! I never noticed before that I pronounced it different until just the other day! Isn’t it cool that even people who grow up in the same house can say it different?#eng211fall22

This article offers great videos and explanations of language acquisition early theories (such as behavioralism), Universal Grammar, and other research found on the subject. I recommend reading it!

This case study proves the innateness of UG. The innateness hypothesis argues that the ability to acquire language is innate. The naturalness of these children creating their form of NSL proves this hypothesis. The fascinating part is the fact it became a full-fledged language.

[Jaidaella Rich @jaidaella]

I found the Nicaraguan Sign Language case study extremely interesting! The fact that NSL hadn’t existed before but when put into an environment with others communicating using signs they naturally were able to create their own form of sign language. #eng211fall22

I often see children learn language through imitation. I wonder if this is where the concept of “children are like a sponge” comes from. Kids seeing the world, absorbing, repeating what they see and gauging if it’s good or bad based on the reaction they are given. #eng211fall22

3. Make sure it’s in the correct style! (In this case, it’s APA format!) I’ve totally accidentally written my entire bibliography in the wrong style once. Oops!

[Jaidaella Rich @jaidaella]

I’m gonna be honest, annotated bibliography’s can be bit intimidating! But here’s some tips to writing a great bibliography:
1. Find interesting but factual sources! Analyzing and writing about an article that doesn’t interest you can make summarizing it difficult.

2. Make sure you ask yourself questions about the article you’re reading! Evaluate how useful it will be in your research and how credible it is!

[Jaidaella Rich @jaidaella]

The word semantics is derived from the Greek word “Sema” which means “signs”. This helps us understand that semantics is the study of meaning, signs, and symbols, used for communication. #eng211fall22

[Jaidaella Rich @jaidaella]

Myth 10 is crazy! Language without grammar is nearly a contradictory statement in and of itself. Grammar are the rules that a language follows, and without these rules the language can be almost impossible to understand.

[Jaidaella Rich @jaidaella]

Without grammar, language would essentially lose it’s meaning and it’s significance. With no grammar, word order doesn’t matter, making a language nearly incoherent. #eng211fall22

The Powerpoint presentation really helped me specify my topic. I made sure to narrow my search by clarifying the age range I was interested in searching and where. I chose to research American school age children and adolescents.

[Jaidaella Rich @jaidaella]

The topic I chose to focus on for my research paper was language disorders in school children and adolescents in the United States!

[Jaidaella Rich @jaidaella]

I’m actually quite excited to write this paper as the topic I picked pertains to my major in Speech Pathology! Understanding speech and language disorders as a SLP is essential in the work field.

[Jaidaella Rich @jaidaella]

@angel095_g Haha! Yes, I definitely agree! I have two younger brothers in middle school and the way these two boys speak, I swear it sounds like a whole other language! I thought I was up to date with all the new slang and stuff, but clearly not! Lol!
