Cultivation of the Global Language

Outpouring hearts and minds through Literacy and English proficiency

In processing both spoken and written language, the human brain employs a code to represent linguistic information.  Students with limited English proficiency often continue to experience difficulties with reading, even after mastering the basic skills needed for decoding English text. Limited vocabulary and lack of background knowledge contribute to difficulties with reading comprehension, which often persist into the college years.  

Language is now considered a skill, in fact, big companies, both here and abroad, are now looking for good English communication skills among potential employees.  Whenever we write or speak, we use it; whenever we make a promise or ask a question, we use it. In the statement of other ways of knowing are controlled by language. It is more sensible to say language gives some support or limit to our reason, perception and emotion. It influence our thinking and decision making. 

Some of the students are good in written communication but not that good when it comes to oral because some are shy to let others hear their English, or afraid to execute a wrong grammars or bad sentence.  However, we have to understand that English literacy and proficiency can help us a lot to express ourselves better to anyone especially for foreign people as this is the world’s international language. 

English language learners need opportunities to build background knowledge. Pre-reading activities can be used to identify gaps in students' knowledge and to introduce new concepts and vocabulary.   

The finding show that the majority of students believed that English proficiency is really important especially for the job opportunities whether locally or globally. It was also concluded that studying, practising, learning new vocabularies and reading English literatures are the major factors for students to have ability in English proficiency. It is also recommended that one must be determined to learn the English language and one must use to speak verbally the English language.

Totally EQUAL... Without DISCRIMINATION!!!

EQUAL RIGHTS, EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES

            Do you think that every person deserves an equal rights and opportunities?  For instance, does a shoplifter continue to have a right to liberty, or is society justified in taking that right away by throwing the person in jail. If you believe that the latter is true, then you do not believe that all people deserve equal rights. Likewise, unless you believe that an industrialist who sets up his own company that provides employment for over a hundred workers is just as admirable as a homeless person who has destroyed his mind, then you do not believe that all people deserve equal respect, either.

            How about this, do you believe that there is an equal right and opportunity for men and women?  For example, if a woman and a man apply for the same job, even though the woman has the better job skills and everything it takes to do the job, often times the job goes to the man because men look down on women, saying a woman is not fit to hold that particular job. When good and right jobs are offered to women, everyone will know that they can think of ways to improve the work place. They can work very hard but too often men always have it in their minds that women are not able to do anything. It is a proven fact this days that the work a man can do, a woman can also do. But often women are denied with job opportunities. I propose that both women and men be given the rightful opportunity to work.

If women are given equal rights and equal opportunities by the government and our society, they will then be able to contribute toward the progress of all. We must therefore know, that if you educate a man, you educate one person but if you educate a woman, you educate the whole nation.

I believe that women should have the same rights as men because God made men and women with no differences between them except in looks. I even think sometimes that women act smarter than men in many ways. Women also can be great leaders, whether presidents, school principals, or leaders of companies. In my opinion, women should be treated the same way men are treated.

Let us promote in our political and society forums the benefits of equal rights and opportunities for women because with the collaboration of both men and women development and progress will come about for our entire nation."
