    society. The devaluing of the Spanish language is a loss cultural identity that weakens Latino connections with others in the Latino community once the English language is acquired. Latino students coming to the U.S. are forced to learn in English which hurts their chances of success. In the U.S. the special-education classrooms have become a dumping ground for students whose first language is not English and mistaking their lack of English-language proficiency for learning disabilities. Occurrences greatly stigmatize and disadvantage these students. If a teacher wants to improve the learning environment within the classroom he or she can incorporate speaking English and Spanish during lessons and discussion in class. But if the teacher does not speak Spanish he or she can make arrangement for an interpreter to come in and teach lessons for all students in the class (Spradlin, Parsons, 2008, pp. 120-…

    Positionality Statement The challenges that face boys in today’s society are vast and many. So many I surmise it to be nothing less than a life minefield. Challenges ranging from peer pressure, the scientific data detailing their slower development than that of girls, poverty, abandonment and lack of self-esteem. My particular focus is developing an innovative community school for boys in poverty with a focus on mentorship, life skills development and discipline.…

    In Roswell High School we have over 1250 students; out of these students eighty percent are Hispanic, seventeen percent are Caucasian, three percent are African American, and one tenth percent are other or two different ethnicities. Thirty-eight percent of Roswell citizens are only spanish speaking or speak little english, many books and pamphlets at Roswell High School are english only, causing native spanish speakers to be at an educational disadvantage. Though some teachers speak spanish, much time in class would be used translating rather than covering the criteria in the already limited time frame. Teachers who do not speak spanish may rely on bilingual students to help teach or translate for other students to learn. If teachers do not do those options the solely spanish speaking students fall behind, or are taught by teachers that speak spanish but do not comprehend the material they are attempting to teach, this may also cause the student to fall behind as…

    Spanish is spoken by a diverse range of cultures—however, these cultures come together, united by their shared values, to create what we know as the Latino community. Though learning the language is principal in a Spanish class, learning about the culture of that language is almost equally as important. If you do not understand a culture, you can never fully understand its language. Therefore, knowing the significance and effectiveness of bilingual education and the fundamental characteristics of the Latino community is a perfect way to begin a journey into the depths of the Spanish language and the culture surrounding it.…

    The number of ESL students in U.S. public schools has almost tripled over the last decade (Goldenberg, 2006). In 2004 Crawford observed that one-fourth of the school-age students in the United States were from homes where a language other than English was spoken. The school-age population (K–12) will reach about 40% ESL in about 20 years (Center for Research on Education, Diversity, and Excellence, 2002). Between 1990 and 2000, the number of Spanish speakers increased from about 20 to 31 million (U.S. Census Bureau, 2001). The Census Bureau report also showed a significant increase in the number of speakers from other linguistic groups, particularly Chinese and Russian. Individuals at all ages enter school to learn the English skills they need to learn, gain employment and participate in society. Planning for their…

    For as Filipinos, English is our second language and it’s the nationwide used language. We’re learning the English language to improve our communication skills but does the school need to force the student to speak the English language? It is more appropriate if the schools shall have the freedom to let the student choose the language they prefer to use? Why don’t we practice our own language and improve it more? The punishment the school is implementing to the student is a form of abuse and extortion. It is even a burden on the part of the parents for the extra cost and additional expenses.…

    The students are weak when forming the present simple (especially 3rd person singular) (e.g. "I must to take the train", "She like climbing", "Stephen come from Australia") very often confusing it with the present continuous. ("Sometimes I'm reading Turkish books"). Most students also have problems when using the simple past ("we seed it's ill", I gone to school with her", "We can found this in a school", "Where are you born?",…
