Setting ESL Objectives People learn English for many and extremely varied reasons. Taking these reasons, as well as language acquisition needs, into consideration when planning a class or individual instruction is crucial for a successful learning experience. This is probably as important for the student as for the teacher. When a student understands his/her reasons for learning English well, he can then better plan his learning strategy. In the classroom, he/she can help the teacher identify needs and desires. If the student is learning alone, he/she can find learning materials based on a better knowledge of what his/her objectives are. Let's take a look at two of the more common reasons for learning English and what might work well for achieving learning goals. Goal One: I'd like to improve my English in order to find a better job. In this case, it is important to ask yourself the questions: 1. Will a certificate help the chances of getting a job? 2. Is job specific Eng...

Overview While social media use has grown dramatically across all age groups, older users have been especially enthusiastic over the past year about embracing new networking tools. Social networking use among internet users ages 50 and older nearly doubled—from 22% in April 2009 to 42% in May 2010. * Between April 2009 and May 2010, social networking use among internet users ages 50-64 grew by 88%--from 25% to 47%. * During the same period, use among those ages 65 and older grew 100%--from 13% to 26%. * By comparison, social networking use among users ages 18-29 grew by 13%—from 76% to 86%. “Young adults continue to be the heaviest users of social media, but their growth pales in comparison with recent gains made by older users,” explains Mary Madden, Senior Research Specialist and author of the report. “Email is still the primary way that older users maintain contact with friends, families and colleagues, but many older users now rely on social network platforms to help ma...

The Republic of Venice, located in northern Italy, was founded in the ninth century when the Venetians prevented the Francs from abducting this island. Venice was, however, not distinctive in any way yet. Whether it was a theft or a cheap bargain, the arrival of the body of the saint Evangelist Mark by the eleventh doge changed everything. No saint without a legend and the legend was established very soon. When St. Mark set foot on the lagoon island, he was welcomed by an angel who told him that on the very spot where he was standing, an impressive city would come into being. After the arrival of the body- the bones of St. Mark were buried in the Basilica di San Marco's, Venice prospered and could no longer be ignored on the world-stage. Venice became the first and the biggest trading power in the world. That is, the world before the great expeditions during the fifteenth and the sixteenth century. Through trade the Venetians prospered and Venice rapidly accumulated wealth. Venetia...

Pronunciation Pronunciation is far more that the accurate production of individual consonant and vowel sounds. For assistance with this basic aspect of pronunciation, a good, basic text is recommended. Please refer to the section on Supplementary Resources for suggestions. At an intermediate or advanced level, it is important to learn the pattern, intonation and the rhythm of the language, and to understand how they can be used to give information about the language structure used, or gain information or clues from what you hear. Intonation The intonation pattern used gives information about whether an utterance is a statement or a question, the type of question and expected response, or whether something is part of a series of items, or something on its own. * In a statement, the intonation falls on the last syllable of a sentence. e.g. . * There is a similar pattern in an information (WH) question; these structures are identified by both the question word that starts th...

English isn't managing to sweep all else before it -- and if it ever does become the universal language, many of those who speak it won't understand one another by Barbara Wallraff ECAUSE I am interested in what happens to the English language, over the past year or so I've been asking people, at dinner parties and professional gatherings and so on, whether they think that English is well on its way to being the global language. Typically, they look puzzled about why I would even bother to ask such an obvious question. They say firmly, Of course. Then they start talking about the Internet. We're just having a conversation, so I refrain from launching into everything I'm about to tell you. It's not that I believe they're actually wrong. But the idea of English as a global language doesn't mean what they think it does -- at least, not according to people I've interviewed whose professions are bound up especially closely in what happens to the English l...

What happened around 3114 BC? Recurring Phenomenon: The Cosmic Disaster Besides the most evident cosmic catastrophes ca. 2200 BC and 2345 BC there are other events during the Holocene that are so widely global and difficult to explain by only the Earth's own mechanisms that a cosmic explanation must evidently be taken into account. The first so-called "Dark Age", meaning a period from which little is known despite much information before and after that period, occurred about 3100 BC to 3000 BC. For example in Mesopotamia this period is called Jemdet Nasr. About 3100 BC there was suddenly a change to more primitive ages compared to the preceding Uruk period. For example the numerical token system dwindled. 3000 BC however there was a sudden recovery. This is called the Early Dynasty, which can be described as the first known culture, that began to have some kind of a centralized system. And the tokens were not only numerated again, the basis for writing was born. What happ...

Cultural differences and clarity in Mexico's business world Ilya Adler When U.S. executives are sent to Mexico, they soon hear that Mexicans are "indirect" and "will not give you a straight answer, "especially if what needs to be communicated is unpleasant." Thus, the generalized statement about the Mexican "vagueness" is often heard among foreigners residing in Mexico. But vagueness is only in the eyes of the beholder. In any cross-cultural experience, vagueness exists simply because in every culture language is complemented by assumptions. No matter how specific language is, it is almost impossible to avoid those assumptions. The oft-repeated complaint that Mexicans frequently miss deadlines, and/or appear to behave without accountability can be attributed to an unawareness of such assumptions. Indeed, according to George Bowman, GE Mexico's managing director of Electrical Distribution and Control, a key adjustment to be made by U.S. manager...
