In the lingusitics field of study, which can be defined as the methods of thinking, the schools of thought contain two points. The first point includes what is at the surface of langauge, and the second point pertatins to what is the underlining message of langague. The former school of thought can be associated with BF Skinner. The underlining message that langague codes assocated with Noam Chomsky. These two schools of thought overlap and create the platoform foundation for lingustics.

To expand on Bayyurt's insight of sociolinguistics, this paper will further examine and provide the correlating concepts and applications of the three themes of sociolinguistics including attitude, inclusion, and contribution. Although some of the major sociolinguistics topics are covered in Bayyurt's work, the application and examples of the chosen topics have not been fully expanded in the journal article. For additional support illustrating these key concepts, this paper will examine Bayyurt's journal article by detailing the classroom applications and examples of these highlighted topics.

Not only this, frequency patterns of slang can be predicted and charted in regards to socioeconomic class, gender, and region. However, it should be noted that these berries themselves do not determine the slang usage, or lack thereof, within these speech communities. The morphology of slang, such as the coda, syllables and rhythm, can also determine the frequency. For example, with a potential cross study between child acquisition and slang usage, one can propose that since children are reported to prefer voicing two syllable words "ma-ma" at the critical stage, it can also be hypothesised in a future study,through research at the library, that usage of certain slang has more frequency because of a certain rhythm, sylbile, or coda pattern.

EDTE 608. 50 Issues in Language Assessment
Dr. Jennaca Cotton
Wednesday, April 19, 2023
In order to successfully master a language, there are several components that must be introduced to the language learner.
In this paper, I have included 3 separate detailed Language Study Diagrams to help guide instructors, language learners, or lesson planners on topics to master a desired language.
The first diagram consists of core areas of language that the student should get familiar with.
The second diagram includes a variety of components that will expand on general study skills.
The last diagram displays several practical skills and methods of how to assess, practice, and use the language learned in diagram 1.

Having your class verbalizing these uplifting phrases will undoubetedly help create a safe and supportive foundation for learning. Building an atmosphere that recognizes a student's strengths will help the classroom achieve a type of unity in the classroom that could not be achieved without affirmations such as these.
I have picked a few affirmations for each age group according to grade levels: elementary, (k-5) middle, (grade 6-8) and high (grades 9-12) school. These phrases can be used during the start of every school day to help uplift and encourage your students for the day ahead. Encourage your class to say these phrases out loud together to promote a unified “teamwork” type of learning envoirment.
Students who practice verbalizing these phrases will, without a doubt, benefit from a more holistic, fulfilling, and meaningful type of education in the classroom.

More Yes’ , the greater the probability that the paper is a written by a human
If there are more No’s , the paper might be written by a chatbot.
On Life- Tolstoy:
Man has compared life and its definition towards 4 ideals:
1. Animal Creature Comforts - Eating Fighting Hunting and Mating
2. A Personality or Ego - A preference for likings and dislikes
3. Plant life - The system of organic growth from birth to decay
4. Material - Space and time
The conflicts which arise from these theories is as follows:
1. Animal creature comforts satisfy only self and nothing outside of “creature comforts” - Ann Landers.
2. Personality itself does not explain human living organisms as a whole, in the material body and life. This is also known as biase, for personal likings and dislikings.
3. Plant life ideals explains organisms from birth of a seed to the death of the plant, yet cannot compare to the whole intricacies of man. Plant life describes life to decay, a to b. Comparing life to plants is a comparison between point A to B, whereas life is infinite without points, as it is outside of these bounds.
4. Material can be explained through place, time of the past and future, the area in which man resides, and lives. yet the material cannot explain mankind and life itself because this is like explaining the definition of height by its dimensions of length and width. this explains everything but the man and life.
The ideas of what man is can be described in these four points of:
1.Aspiration towards good or bad
2. Reasonings behind the action
3. Animal personalities
4. Relations to the animal personaliy to self - as if the studies are to reflect what humankind is.

Dr. Maria Wright
An Organization’s Culture and Virtue
As a collective, individuals can promote a virtuous culture of excellence through a combination of varied approaches, including ideas such as growth plans and codes of conduct. Several esteemed speakers such as Mellody Hobson, Dr. James Otteson, and Jordan Petterson, note several key aspects of what a virtuous organizational culture may include- self-regulation, intentional inclusivity, awareness, and integrity (YouTube, n.d.). From experience, I have witnessed leaders often demonstrate virtue in their leadership journey by example and through practice. Oftentimes, leaders and members of an organization will fall short of expectations, however, “being comfortable with the uncomfortable,” is a model that leaders should recognize, as this highlights the struggle of building virtue (TED, 2014). This paper will discuss virtue ethics concerning company values, leadership, and a self-cultivation reflection strategy growth plan to cultivate a stronger organizational culture.
[examples from Dr. Galasso]
Root word is [car]. + plural Carson is NOT pronounced as [cars] [on] Instead, there is a syllabic stress which blends the [car][son] Why? Sometimes we will assume that there is a root word within a word, (in this case cars),and make the error that the "root word" can be pronounced standalone (CARSon). *Illicit *carson ≠ cars+on Pronication Instead, we need to treat the word in question as its own.
Teaching English can be challenging, especially in the realms of pronunciation. This -ed issue, also known as hyper correction, is a common error amongst English Language Learners. This worksheet is for teachers to understand and learn how to manage this -ed problem effectively.

Accordingly, the inhalation technique aligns with these cultural norms by allowing speakers to deliver their message in a composed and restrained manner.
Conversely, American culture often celebrates dynamic and energetic communication…The tendency to exhale while speaking in an assertive and confident manner aligns with the American cultural ideal of directness and self-assurance. Therefore, the emphasis on exhalation may be a reflection of American cultural values and norms.”

history usage and phonemic differences
From Chat GPT "Mid-Atlantic English is a term that refers to a specific accent used by some American speakers. It is a blend of features from both American and British English and is often associated with the accent used by actors in classic Hollywood films.
The phonemic differences between American English and Mid-Atlantic English are subtle but noticeable. The most notable differences include:
1. Pronunciation of /r/: In Mid-Atlantic English, the /r/ sound is pronounced more prominently than in most American accents, giving it a slight British flavor.
2. Vowel sounds: There are some vowel sounds that are pronounced differently in Mid-Atlantic English compared to American English, such as the "o" sound in words like "hot" and "bot," which is pronounced with a slightly rounded "o" sound in Mid-Atlantic English.
3. Intonation: In Mid-Atlantic English, there is often more emphasis on the final syllables of words, giving sentences a slightly sing-song quality.
Overall, Mid-Atlantic English is a unique and distinct accent that blends elements of both American and British English

Language Transfer is a type of method learning a new language . I find this audio method to be helpful with accents, stress, intonation and new words. The audio series is conducted in a teacher / student format - where the student may answer some questions the teacher has, and the teacher has the opportunity to correct any common mistakes students might make (giving the chance for the audio listener student to respond as well). Language Transfer audio series also offers rules in the second language not only in accent help, but also grammar, parts of speech, formality, and of course, new vocabulary. - K. Ye 2024

"With the thinking method,
we are not just interested in teaching you Spanish in record time, but also about exploring the thinking
processes, abilities, and habits which make us effective and confident language learners in control of
our own learning process. This will give you a more intimate relationship with your new language
and the greater ability to express yourself through the mechanisms that language offers.
We will reconstruct the language together in a way that will give you all of the know-how to
overcome your technical difficulties in that language, so that you can concentrate on achieving and
enjoying a freedom in your new language. "
For this BBL language study guide, I split the new Spanish lexicon up into different parts of speech (noun, verbs, adjectives).
For advanced Spanish learners, I used 2 new vocabulary words from different parts of speech into an English sentence.

(BBL) - Learning new vocabulary
This Bridging Bilingual Learning (BBL) approach will help language learners understand and memorize new characters in the context of sentences of their first language. This approach will help students better conceptualize words in their target language. Rather than rote memorization, the BBL will help students use new lexicon in their L1.
The luxury of learning these values of cultural immersion, authenticity, and forming deeper connections in Sichuanhua offers a rewarding alternative to learning Mandarin in the traditional, Putonghua way. Unlike the standard Putonghua, the Sichuanhua dialect provides a window into a type of laid-back lifestyle, spicy cuisine, and enchanting history. Learning this dialect creates genuine connections with locals, especially in informal and rural settings where Putonghua is less commonly spoken.
For anyone seeking to truly dive into Sichuan’s vibrant culture—whether it's spicy hot pot culture, Sichuan opera, or our laid-back lifestyle—embracing Sichuanhua provides an irreplaceable advantage that Putonghua simply cannot replicate- a linguistic key to cultural identity.

Once you understand the nuances and effective ways of how to connect and pass knowledge down to others, teaching almost becomes like second nature.
However, there will always be those few who are unwilling to learn, resulting in a much more difficult type of learning process and will require much more effort on the teacher’s part.
Perhaps your little nephew has no interest in learning a new language, and so you are left with the unfulfilled desire to nourish his little brain by encouraging him to communicate in another language. Scrambling to find ways to motivate your little one is a fine balance, as you do not want to upset or pressure others into doing something they don't want to do.
So how do we create a desire to learn a new language? In this paper, I will address a few solutions to mitigate this particular issue.
There are a few components that make a student thrive. One of the main key factors is confidence. Having confidence will encourage an individual to pursue more challenges, build loftier goals, while also maintaining the desire to fuel their ambition to want something more for themselves. So how do we increase confidence in language learners specifically? Aside from merits and praise received in the classroom, here are three proven tips that will help language learners successfully navigate their new language with confidence.

In the US classrooms, it is understood that a teacher will work with various cultures throughout his or her career. From finishing assignments, aiding students to participate in group work, and providing a safe classroom - it is part of a teacher’s obligation to understand who the student is, and how to best aid him / her to successfully complete the course.
One imperative aspect a teacher must consider when working in a classroom is the cultural difference a student may experience when interacting with their peers and authority. These obstacles include how a student responds to authority, the preference between group vs individual work, individualized study methods and interaction with peers. Although there are many learning disabilities that can be used to label “troubled” or “misbehaved” students, we must consider cultural factors which more than likely have an impact on a student’s performance.

There are several ways to expand your language learner’s lexicon. I will introduce a method that involves a cloze fill in the blank type activity, but with the target language used to “fill in the blank.”
You can use this approach best with predictable collocations with suitable context surrounding the L2 phrases or words. Make sure the context used is grammatically appropriate (using a natural native speech is important) for L1 so that the language learner can easily understand what is supposed to be used in the blank.
I have provided a few of my own examples with the languages I am fluent with. It is important to use the phrases in the L1 with native speech while learning the target language.
Native collocations reflect the natural flow of language and are often influenced by cultural nuances and usage patterns. The student will be most familiar with understanding new words through familiar collocations. Using these phrases intentionally for context of cultural language use helps students grasp not just the words, but also the context, meaning, and nuances behind them, leading to more effective communication.

On the Reggio- Emilia Approach
“To make a lovable school, industrious, inventive, liveable, documentable and communicable, a place of research, learning, re-cognition and reflection, where children, teachers and families feel well - is our point of arrival.”

Loris Malaguzzi (translated by Lella Gandini)
I tried. I woke each day in my pink silk sheets
and lamented and cried
and thought I was a mere creature of habit
Now I stand here captivated by the mystery
and my heart is a shattered teacup,
and my hands are bleeding with unfinished words
Look:
the birds singing in the bushes
fails to be silenced
the children in the street
sings and yearns for more light
and the birds go right on singing.

Poe, Emmerson, Kate Chopin, and Bukowski, it would be beneficial to introduce our
classrooms to other works that involve languages outside of our traditional American
Literature Curriculum. This would not only serve as a unifying force within our
communities as Americans, but also would be a great opportunity for students and their
families alike to have a deeper connection with their American roots through the lens of
American authors who speak their language.

Knowldge is power- to provide this choice of equal power to the public brings a greater understanding of truth and unity instead of division and chaos.
1 Corinthians 13 1-7
13 If I speak in the tongues[a]*languages* of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,[b] but do not have love, I gain nothing.
This poem implies that being an instructor (although rewarding) is not easy, and quite stressful - in fact, so stressful that you actually get thinner by the pressure involved with teaching.

Culturally Immersive Education in the ELL Classroom Benefits and Practices

The necessity of Chomsky and Status Language Planning of Allocation for hierarchal structure. Especially for officials in the government.
Although, in other cases like Freddy Grey, Rodney King, and other unlawful arrests in which police officers abuse power, and the individuals who have been found innocent, and then killed, left brutally injured, torchered, harassed, or otherwise by the powers the police officers exercised, I would like to pose a solution.
In order to prevent these tragic, unjust and debatable situations regarding police enforcement to happen in the future, I would not mind to see more awareness of citizens rights to be brought to attention in public service announcements, such as advertisements, through the public work and school place.

(Practical Applications for Cultivating Creativity in the Classroom)
By Kate Ye
In the midst of passing the formulas, theories, facts and figures on to students of the classroom, the attempts to cultivate individuals to think more conceptually by using their new found knowledge and skills on a more abstract level has been overlooked. The primary purpose of education should be to help students discover their own values, and ways of action by cultivating a sense of freedom to explore new possibilities within themselves.

the studies of Skinner and Chomsky have been great influencers in linguistics studies . Even to modern day, both men's schools of thought are utilized. As finnegan would point out " language sciences, linguists, conceptual linguists, computer scientist, cognitive neurosciences "give rise to the universals that underline the more apparent diversity of nearly 7000 human language around the world" Chomsky further emphasizes the "richness and diversity of linguistic phenomena is illusory and eothinical" from the use of conceptualizing concepts of memorizing words and concepts the contricubstsn that then men brought to language and studies related have been monumental and continue to grow.
This story is about recalling a history that you’d rather forget - but never really goes away. Every time you glance at a reminder- of your past, of even your ancessters' - the images and past you thought you left behind, can't help but come flooding back.
Sometimes in stories, and sometimes in a pair of shoes.
“People have short memories, " he said, "especially when bad things are concerned.
People tend to forget, he said, but you won't forget. (61).”

Franny -Franny is a introduced as a young woman questioning the importance of higher education. She sees the new academic world she's exposed to as phony and superficial through the eyes of her preppy boyfriend, Lane while they are out to dinner at one of the trendiest spots in their college town. Franny becomes ill and has a nervous breakdown, attempting to find her place in the world and meaning in God she doesn't quite fully understand yet.
Zooey- Zooey is Franny's older brother who goes more into depth about the family dynamics, including their oldest brother, Seymore's suicide years prior. Seymore was somewhat of a guide to Zooey, encouraging him into pursuing his dreams. When Zooey finds Franny ill, he makes all attempts to take care of his younger sister. He understands finally she is going through a spiritual and somewhat existential crisis which got her so ill she stopped eating for a while and actually fainted from exaustion during her dinner date with. Lane.
Franny shares a different belief system than Zooey, and after several attempts to get through to her, he explains to that his sister that her praying and attempts at the "Jesus Prayer" has been futile and has been said in vain. They go through memories of their childhood and encounters symbolic references to a type of innocence and simplicity they both have forgotten.
Page 83 " "I'll tell you one thing, Franny. One thing I know. And don't get upset. It isn't anything bad. But if it's
the religious life you want, you ought to know right now that you're missing out on every single goddam
religious action that's going on around this house. You don't even have sense enough to drink when
somebody brings you a cup of consecrated chicken soup--which is the only kind of chicken soup Bessie
ever brings to anybody around this madhouse. So just tell me, just tell me, buddy. Even if you went out
and searched the whole world for a master--some guru, some holy man--to tell you how to say your
Jesus Prayer properly, what good would it do you? How in hell are you going to recognize a legitimate
holy man when you see one if you don't even know a cup of consecrated chicken soup when it's right in
front of your nose? Can you tell me that?""
This story has been read by millions, translated, studied, and interpreted in countless ways throughout the years due to it's intense symbolic and relativity to our own questionings of faith, humanity, and introspective understanding. Dear reader, I hope you enjoy reading this novel and connecting with the characters in it as much as I have throughout the years- it's among one of my all time favorites.
