@martin_aly70527 Hi Alyson, you bring up very good points and I do agree with you that VR can expose students to health risks and is something that needs to be greatly considered by schools looking into implementing VR in their school.
I think that VR in classrooms brings great opportunity to engage students in their learning as well as aid visual learners. Although I don’t think it really needs to be put into every classroom since there is already a plethora of technology in schools. #EDU214
The critical period for language acquisition is between birth and puberty. After puberty, it becomes much more difficult to learn a new language.#eng211sp23
I found it interesting that infants are born with the ability to distinguish between all the sounds of all languages, but they gradually lose this ability as they get older and learn their native language. #eng211sp23
"The Critical Period for Language Acquisition: Evidence from Second Language Learning" by Jacqueline S. Johnson and Elissa L. This article provides an overview of the critical period for language acquisition and the evidence supporting this concept. #eng211sp23
Another argument brought up in myth 8 was that things were better in the Good Old Day of strong moral discipline, but now we live in a day and age where a lot of peoples morals or opinions are different. #eng211sp23
I think children become really literate at early ages now more than ever especially due to their exposure of media wether it be YouTube, tablets etc. They are constantly able to learn new words extremely fast. #eng211sp23
#eng211sp23 The focus on “functional literacy” was really interesting to me. And looking at the example brought up involving the work place really helped me understand the three R’s.
@LockleyMarshall Hi marshall! I can agree especially after reading myth 8! I feel like a lot of the myths overlap regarding the concept of how the english language has changed overtime.
I think that the stereotype of women dominating the talking time isn’t necessarily true. I think if anything men do but then again it depends on the environment and circumstances taking place. #eng211sp23
