Striving to complete a dissertation on language development can be an arduous journey, fraught with

challenges and complexities that often leave even the most dedicated students feeling overwhelmed.
Crafting a dissertation requires an extensive amount of research, critical analysis, and meticulous
attention to detail. From formulating a compelling thesis statement to conducting thorough literature
reviews and collecting data, each step demands unwavering dedication and expertise.

One of the greatest hurdles faced by students embarking on this academic endeavor is the sheer
magnitude of the task. The dissertation serves as a culmination of years of study and is a testament
to one's mastery of the subject matter. As such, the expectations placed upon it are understandably
high, adding immense pressure to an already daunting undertaking.

Furthermore, navigating the intricacies of language development poses its own set of challenges. The
field is broad and multifaceted, encompassing various theories, methodologies, and empirical
findings. Synthesizing this vast body of knowledge into a coherent and original piece of scholarship
requires a deep understanding of linguistic principles and an ability to engage with complex
theoretical frameworks.

In addition to the academic rigors involved, students must also contend with logistical hurdles such
as time constraints, resource limitations, and balancing competing priorities. Many find themselves
grappling with the demands of coursework, teaching responsibilities, or employment obligations,
leaving little time or energy to devote to their dissertation.

They often need to develop vocabulary and knowledge of linguistic features, such as syntax and
morphology. Sometimes derided as “drill and kill,” direct and explicit instruction simply means
making the components and requirements of complex literacy tasks obvious and salient, and it
generally can be done in motivating ways. Add Links Send readers directly to specific items or pages

learners are encouraged to read as they would do with their native language. Rather, knowledge is a
continuum that ranges from not knowing a word, to recognizing it, to knowing it roughly, to
describing it very accurately and knowing its uses in different contexts (Schoonen and Verhallen,
2008; Vermeer, 2001). When the tasks involve language-specific patterns (e.g., orthographic rules for
spelling, meanings of items), the data suggest limited or no transfer. Most adult language learners,
especially if they were born in the United States, report having good speaking skills, but according to
the NAAL only a third had literacy skills beyond the basic level (Wrigley et al., 2009). More

have restricted our focus to the bilingual case. Programs For English Language Learners This 10
page paper begins by identifying and describing learner types of programs being used to teach
English-language languages. Some students show global difficulties with language, decoding, and
comprehension of text. Extensive vocabulary instruction is incorporated into every lesson, integrated
across the curriculum. Articles Get discovered by sharing your best content as bite-sized articles. The
available research does not allow for conclusions about effective approaches to literacy instruction.
Some have hypothesized that a critical period for developing language ends with puberty
(Lenneberg, 1967), and others propose that the window closes earlier (e.g., Pinker, 1994). Regardless
of the exact timing, it is well established that the ability to learn a second language declines with
age. Similarly, Torgerson and colleagues (2004) examined almost 5,000 reports on adult literacy and
numeracy interventions, and only 3 randomized controlled trial designs focused on English as a
second language. ESL in Hong Kong Primary Schools A 4 page research paper that examines ESL
instruction in Hong Kong. A 7-year longitudinal study of noncredit ESL classes showed that only
about 8 percent of more than 38,000 learners made the transition to other academic (credit) studies
(Spurling, Seymour, and Chisman, 2008). This implies that any word spoken can be viewed as both a
process as well as a product. This research has focused mainly, however, on developing linguistic
structures and vocabulary for those who are highly literate in their first language. For example,
working memory affects second language acquisition, since it is involved in the implicit recognition
of statistical properties and patterns of language, such as memory for instances and associations (see
Ellis, 2005, for a review; McDonald, 2006). Those whose goal it is to transition to training or
postsecondary education mention the lack of focus on academic vocabulary in high beginning or
intermediate classes. As children gain more experience in English, English decoding becomes a
stronger predictor of English reading comprehension than Spanish decoding (Gottardo and Mueller,
2009; Manis, Lindsey, and Bailey, 2004; Nakamoto, Lindsey, and Manis, 2008). Similar issues arise
in any situation in which the long-term flow of an activity is part of the instruction. Acquisition
models vary in the kind of input which is found to be the most significant factor to second language
acquisition. More than 18 percent of those who speak a language other than English at home are
below the poverty level (versus 11.6 percent of those who speak only English at home), and 31.2
percent have less than a high school education (versus 11.7 percent of English only speakers).

decisions to drive reader engagement, subscriptions, and campaigns. Depending on a language’s
characteristics (consistency, availability, and granularity), learning to decode can be almost trivial or
take longer. Thus, it is important not to isolate language learners from native speakers and to
maximize exposure to the second language using many different venues. Resources Dive into our
extensive resources on the topic that interests you. Writing In the lower levels, EFL learners progress
from writing secluded words and phrases, to short paragraphs about some specific topics or very
common topics like family, home, and hobbies and friends. Programs For English Language Learners
This 10 page paper begins by identifying and describing several types of programs being used to
teach English-language learners. Languages that do have a writing system represent their oral
languages in different ways, both in terms of the symbols used as well as the phonological units that
are represented in print. Although one option could be to simplify the input, such simplified
materials do not allow learners to experience the complex structures of the second language that they
need to learn. The program aims to increase successful completion of postsecondary occupational
education and training (Jenkins, Zeidenberg, and Kienzl, 2009). Such parallel activation across
languages has been observed in many experiments, in the form of cross-language ambiguity effects,
for example: Whereas “hotel” has the same meanings in Dutch and English, “room” has different
meanings (it means “cream” in Dutch). A good and qualified teacher will motivate the learners by
making the lessons more interesting and educational. Similarly, the committee located four studies
(two of adults in adult education and two of students in developmental college education courses)
from 1990 to 2010 with the criterion that the research include at least one quantitative measure of
literacy skill (see Appendix C ). Speaking In teaching the speaking skill, the tutor must take into
consideration that the language input used in the instructional process is higher than the level of the
language production anticipated from the learners. As more is understood about the factors that
affect English language and literacy development for different English language learner populations,
more reliable and valid assessments can be developed to help make placement decisions and inform
instructional planning. One theory emphasizes the role of neurobiological development (Newport,
1990; Stromswold, 1995): whereas the young brain is well suited to acquiring languages rapidly and
effortlessly, this capacity decreases because of neurodevelopmental processes, such as dendritic
proliferation and pruning, and synapse elimination (Buonomano and Merzenich, 1998; Hensch,
2003). The literacy difficulties of these students may stem from limited oral proficiency in English,
limited exposure to English texts, and possible gaps in background knowledge for the topic.

learners, lack of cultural knowledge can hamper reading and listening comprehension (Center for
Applied Linguistics, 2010; Droop and Verhoeven, 1998; Lesaux et al., 2006). Even for college
students learning a second language, cultural knowledge plays a role in their comprehension
(Brantmeier, 2005; Carrell, 1984; Fitzgerald, 1995). Because assessments usually tap into only a
subset of language skills (e.g., vocabulary) or include measures that are too broad (e.g., oral
proficiency), they may not assess the full range of language skill. Click here to buy this book in print

knowing a word, to recognizing it, to knowing it roughly, to describing it very accurately and
knowing its uses in different contexts (Schoonen and Verhallen, 2008; Vermeer, 2001). The
classification of an error is very important since its correction is possible if it is positively identified
(Corder, 2001). These include significant variability in first language background, educational level,
second language proficiency, length of time in the new country, acculturation and familiarity with
second language writing contexts, and the purposes and needs for writing. A rare study of second
language writing in the workplace illustrates how the specific style of writing and vocabulary
required in a particular workplace evolves. At this point, the learners work will invariably contain
errors. The declines observed do not suggest, however, that literacy in a second language cannot be
achieved in adulthood at the levels required for career and academic success. For young language
learners with reading difficulties, weak word and nonword recognition skills and phonological
processing problems are found in both of their languages (Manis and Lindsey, 2010). Digital Sales

Furthermore, only 38 percent of U.S. 12th graders are at or above proficient in reading. Conclusion
A good second language instructor is a significant factor when learners are studying a second
language. Moreover, different components of language develop at different rates and in an
incremental fashion. The Impact Of Learning Styles And Strategies On Second Language

Speaking In teaching the speaking skill, the tutor must take into consideration that the language input
used in the instructional process is higher than the level of the language production anticipated from

native or non-native speakers of the language. The greater the number of unknown words in a text,
the more text comprehension suffers (Hsueh-chao and Nation. Like native speakers, English

native speakers and English language learners tend to have different patterns of strengths and
weaknesses as beginning readers. In addition to teaching specific words, these programs also
explicitly model and teach word analysis and comprehension strategies. Individuals whose
knowledge of the second language is relatively weak, for example, have shown greater activation of
frontal regions that reflect more cognitive. Adult learners need materials that are interesting and
relevant to their knowledge development needs. Dissertation On English Language Teaching
Bibliography lists 25 sources. It identifies factors that affect literacy development in adolescence and
adulthood in general, and examines their implications for strengthening literacy instruction for this
population. It also discusses technologies for learning that can assist with multiple aspects of
teaching, assessment,and accommodations for learning. A meta-analysis showed that identity with
the second language community and effort and desire to learn the second language correlated with
second language achievement among Canadian students (Masgoret and Gardner, 2003), although it
should be noted that the participants were required to learn an official second language and so the
particular findings may not generalize. Such parallel activation across languages has been observed in
many experiments, in the form of cross-language ambiguity effects, for example: Whereas “hotel”
has the same meanings in Dutch and English, “room” has different meanings (it means “cream” in
Dutch). In fact, for Spanish college students learning English, discipline-related background
knowledge and language proficiency compensated for each other. In fact, 44 percent advanced only
one literacy level, as defined by the U.S. Department of Education’s National Reporting System for
adult literacy programs. Persistence was also an issue.
Seating in this class next to Amy, I interviewed and discussed about her conflict and some of

participants, unreliable measures, inadequately described practices and outcomes, and no comparison
tasks or groups, which prevented drawing conclusions about the effectiveness of the approaches.
Through the learner’s direct involvement in the activities as well as transformations in the learner’s
life, the structural components of language are acquired together with communicative intentions and
particular perspectives of the language. The need to develop more valid and comprehensive
approaches to the assessment of adults’ reading and writing skills also applies to this population.

In this approach, there are dual, integrated objectives: teachers address content through language and
teach language through content. Taking all of these factors into consideration, it is suggested that
effective instruction for adolescent newcomers includes content-based literacy instruction, with an
emphasis on developing academic language. Adjusting existing neural networks for second language
processing is very difficult, especially since in adults those networks have been stabilized and are
still successfully used in first language processing (Seidenberg and Zevin, 2006). In the United
States, of the 280.8 million people ages 5 and older, 55 million (19.6 percent) speak a language other
than English at home (U.S. Census Bureau, 2005-2009, American Community Survey). Technologies
for acquiring English have shown positive impacts on the frequency of revision and the complexity
of content in the writing of adults learning a second language (Li and Cumming, 2001). In one
study of 256 adults in ESL programs in the United Kingdom, however, the main factor that predicted
increased. Some languages are nonalphabetic and represent morphological and phonological rather
than purely phonological information (e.g., Japanese Kanji and Chinese). It is therefore necessary for
the tutor to make certain that the learners comprehend the language they require to finish the task
and are fully informed of their expectations in the course. For skilled bilinguals, switching between
languages involves increased attention or executive functions also associated with the frontal lobe,
areas that are not as activated in monolingual language processing. Because assessments usually tap
into only a subset of language skills (e.g., vocabulary) or include measures that are too broad (e.g.,
oral proficiency), they may not assess the full range of language skill. In addition to teaching specific
words, these programs also explicitly model and teach word analysis and comprehension strategies.

sufficiently common to all in a classroom while differentiating instruction to meet the needs of all
learners (Wrigley, 2009). Currently, the majority of foreign language programs are ineffective and
poorly organized. Data from a recent large-scale study using U.S. census responses show linear age-
related declines in second language attainment but not the. The curriculum provides rich and
systematic instruction of high-utility academic words. While these contextual factors affect literacy
instruction and performance for native English speakers, they are especially important to consider in
practice and research with adults learning a second language, because these adults bring more

language itself, they pick the language intentionally. Understanding spoken or written language
requires integrating multiple sources of information, such as word meanings, syntactic rules, and
background knowledge. When input is offered by interaction in natural environment learners
concentrate majorly on trying to comprehend and produce a message and end up acquiring the
second language as a coincidence. For defending a dissertation, as we commonly say here. For

language has not been systematically investigated with adults, but a similar pattern can be expected.
To summarize, recent findings from behavioral and neurobiological research imply that the role of the
primary language cannot be ignored during the learning of a second language. Language teaching is
in-fluenced by the fields of linguistics and psychology and, by extension, second language teaching
methods are closely related to concepts and theories about The Effects of Web Based Instruction on

which are not widely used or standardized) identified the need for assessments that measure a greater
range of language skills and more detailed proficiency levels (Center for Applied Linguistics, 2010).
Similarly, words that are pronounced differently in two languages (e.g., “coin” in French and
English) produce interference in silent reading compared with words with very similar pronunciations
(e.g., “piano”); (Kroll and Linck, 2007, 2009). This research has focused mainly, however, on
developing linguistic structures and vocabulary for those who are highly literate in their first
language. A Dutch-English bilingual will briefly (and unconsciously) activate both meanings of the
word “room,” quickly choosing the one that is appropriate to the language being used. Languages
that do have a writing system represent their oral languages in different ways, both in terms of the
symbols used as well as the phonological units that are represented in print. Issuu turns PDFs and

especially with adult language learners in adult education settings, to track learners’ progress in the
use of text features, their use of composition processes for different tasks and writing environments,
and how progress changes as a function of different types of instruction (Cumming and Riazi, 2000).
Currently, teachers report that it is a challenge to provide instruction that is sufficiently common to
all in a classroom while differentiating instruction to meet the needs of all learners (Wrigley, 2009).
For example, Jiang (2007) found that late Chinese-English bilinguals were accurate in detecting
violations of English morphological structure (plural -s) in unspeeded, written tests, indicating they
had explicit knowledge of this structure. Others have accurate and automatic decoding but poor
general and academic vocabulary that affects comprehension. These motivate the learners to start to
manipulate the language by exposing them to certain amount of choice, although within a supposedly
controlled situation (Duff, 2000).
