This paper target is to go thru the experience of authentic texts used in a lesson for a class from the Level OMA1 and as the practice has tell us not every lesson can be a home run and not every class can be a perfect experience, However, for instructors and students alike there are a few points on the methodology in order to improve and personalize the teaching and make the learning as efficient as possible crucial for the improvement of the development of the learning of the second language. Probably the most important accomplishment is motivating students to want to contribute and be involved in the classroom using a variety of the necessary language skills and thereby increasing their English ability over the time.

The second half of “The Life of Olaudah Equiano” written by himself focuses on his life as a freeman. Equiano, a tradesman traveling the world encountered new adventures, which led to spiritual transformations. Equiano endures a cultural mainstream through multiple viewpoints. He acknowledges similarities and differences between cultures, which transforms his curiosity for adventure toward the practice of converting new cultures to his beliefs as a Christian.

In her speech at the National American Woman Suffrage Association convention in 1905, United States social worker and reformer, Florence Kelley addresses the ills of child labor that that nation has turned a blind eye to. Throughout the speech, Kelley calls attention to the unethical conditions that children are forced to work under and prompts voters to use their power to vote for stricter child labor laws. She adopts a critical tone in order to unify her audience against unethical labor practices, and encourages those who can vote to be a voice for women and children. Kelley employs emotive imagery to highlight the injustices of child labor, repetition of phrases to suggest the nation’s negligence to the reality of child labor, and rhetorical
Florence Kelley was a women’s rights activist who gave a speech before the convention of the National American Woman Suffrage Association in the summer of 1905 on the topic of child labor. This speech on child labor offers insight to the harsher lives that some children have to carry in comparison to some adults due to no child labor laws. Kelley’s writing was meant to persuade the audience to improve child labor laws and safety by appealing to pathos. Throughout the beginning of the essay, there’s repetition of the phrase: “[W]hile we sleep.”
Individuals in society are obligated to speak up in support of those who do not have a voice. Around the beginning of the 1900s, child labor was instituted on a large scale, as children did not need to be guaranteed the same treatment as adults. Several people argued for child protection such as Florence Kelley, who was a United States social worker and reformer who has spoken out against child labor. In the speech delivered to the National American Suffrage Convention, Kelley argues that children are being exploited to work in harsh conditions with little to no protection in legislation. Florence Kelley utilizes a sentimental story that invokes the reader to sympathize with the children, provides examples of the lack of state laws for child
The reason why I want to be part of the National English Honor Society is because English is my favorite subject. Since I was young, I have always been the reader in my family and it has always been one of my best subjects in school. Ever since I was young, I have always been the reader in my family. Reading has been my escape from the stress of school and work and is an outlet for me to relax. I often imagine myself as the character of the stories and try to figure out what I would do if I was the character in real life.

Over the last few class periods, our Theory of Coaching Soccer class viewed the documentary Class of 92. This film focuses on and showcases six young soccer-playing men who would go on together as members of the Manchester United to conquer the world in the arena of soccer.

The Culture of Colombia and the Colombian People Culture is defined as the set of shared attitudes, values, goals, and practices that characterizes an institution or organization. This definition of culture is very true in the country of Colombia.

Also, while covering these main topics, I will overview terrain, infrastructure, and military conflicts.

First repertoire, which is talk for everyday life is obviously being applied in any classroom. It support everyday human interaction and help students to develop, explore and utilize transactional talk, exploratory talk and so on. Learning talk provides students with not only factual answers but also allows them to narrate, explain, evaluate and many more. Teaching talk involves teacher in rote (where I drill any ideas facts and routine through repetition), recitation (recall or test what is expected to be known by using short question or key point), instruction (give order to student and tell them what and how to do; lab tutorial, project etc) and exposition (imparting information and explaining). The last repertoire (classroom organization) allows teacher to make use of five ways of organizing interaction.
