It is also worth noting that in any level music can also improve listening skills as well as developing speaking along with vocabulary and develop student self confidence in the target language (Beare, n.d.).

Such a field trip would allow students to develop vocabulary related to food and visiting a restaurant and other key aspects of vocabulary.
Another interesting type of field trip would be something historical, which would of course give the students the opportunity to practice the past tense. Although it is important that the teacher prepares some information in English and vocabulary practice with the class before to the trip.
Nonetheless field trips also provide an interesting means of learning and practicing vocabulary in a real world setting. This gives not only relevance and meaning but also context which is an important aspect of teaching English (Busy Teacher, n.d.).

Amy Mendoza Amanda Hult English 200,Per 3 Syllabus Response After thoroughly analyzing the course syllabus for English 200 I have exposed myself to the challenges, expectations and resources available to me in order to receive the grade I want in this course. Firstly I want to discuss the differences between this English college-level course as opposed to taking English 12 at my high school. One example is all 200 English courses offered through Mendocino college, all students are required to enroll in a writing lab. Which is a free resource available to every student and a mandatory step required to receive credit on final your draft. Which can be completed online or in person throughout the whole week.
Another technique I learned is to create good classroom procedures and rules. Having good procedures and rules will allow the students to know what I expect in the classroom and the class will run fluently. I also learned about motivation in students. We discussed certain strategies that we can use as an educator to increase motivation in the classroom. Some strategies that I will use in my classroom are; to use rewards sparingly, make my students feel welcomed, be positive, use praise orally, promote mastery learning, and use clear and constructive

Studies have shown that learning how to read and play music, and even listening to music has an impact on the development of the brain. Music requires the use of both the left and right sides of the brain. After learning music I have noticed a change in the way I view music, my social skills and my thought processes.

Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal" is an essay that intends to draw awareness to the downfall of the Irishmen and motivate readers to find a feasible solution to the problem. The essay was written in a satirical way that has been able to engage readers to read more on the topic and the essay themselves (Smith, 2011). Swift was able to establish a "love-hate" relationship with readers due to being very sympathetic towards the Irishmen in the first part of the essay (Lovin, n.d.). This was able to make readers appreciate the author for his emotions towards the Irishmen. But then, in the latter parts, the author becomes unsympathetic and directed attention more towards the problems that the society faced at the time.

Some strategies are better suited to teaching skills and fields of knowledge than others. Some strategies are better suited to certain student backgrounds, learning styles and
Children develop their speech and language skills. Speech is developed through the use of songs and nursery rhymes. Language skills are developed when children are listening to a wide range of songs which all have new words for the child to expand their language.

Children’s long and short term memory skills are also developed as the child will try and remember the words of the song or nursery rhymes or the beat to clap along to.
Results showed significant differences in social, cognitive and physical development preferring the children in the experimental group, this suggests that music can create a more relaxed learning
In order to engage with students and help them to learn English I would use real world scenarios with a multi-tier approach, ensuring conversation, writing, listening, vocabulary, and grammar were all engaged. This will ensure an atmosphere where students act as a team for conversation and language analysis.
