¶ … teachers address English as a second language must be considered. Traditionally, teachers of English as a second language (ESL) have used grammar exercises in an effort to teach children how to speak, read, and understand English (Adesope, et al
They will also generally see more success as teachers, allowing them to help more students and have greater opportunities. The teacher should be very direct when giving feedback or making a correction, but he or she should also focus only one error when feedback is given (Allison & Rehm, 2011; Iwai, 2011)
A clear understanding of the differences in grammar is important, but it is not the right way to approach the issue of a second language from the beginning. Too much pressure on grammar right away makes students unresponsive, clearly showing that teachers need a different type of focus (Foote, Holtby, & Derwing, 2011)
Instead, the teachers themselves and how they are going to handle teaching students is the issue at hand. While it is true that this also directly relates to the value the learners receive, it is significant to note that teachers who do not have effective strategies for teaching ESL harm not only the learners, but themselves as well (Haley & Austin, 2013)
, 2011). This does not affect just English classes, as a student who needs to communicate properly in English in other classes through verbal expression and/or reading and understanding the material will not be able to do that effectively if he or she has not learned ESL properly (Hinkel, 2013; Oxford, 2013)
, 2011). This does not affect just English classes, as a student who needs to communicate properly in English in other classes through verbal expression and/or reading and understanding the material will not be able to do that effectively if he or she has not learned ESL properly (Hinkel, 2013; Oxford, 2013)
, 2011). Studies that focus on ESL issues have indicated that the Communicative Approach is a much better choice for both teachers and students, and is the best strategy that teachers can and should use in order to make sure they are able to teach students what they need to know (Iwai, 2011; Kumaravadivelu, 2012)
It is also possible for a teacher to ask a student if they meant a particular word or phrase, when they actually said something else. When done in a matter-of-fact manner, these kinds of questions help the teacher correct any problems the students may be having, so those problems do not become worse (Kumaravadivelu, 2012)
The writing of it, with correct spelling, grammar, and punctuation, can come at a later date. A teacher cannot expect a student to be able to write comprehensibly in a language that he or she cannot speak reasonably, however, so a focus on oral assessment is the most important part of the testing process for ESL teachers (Mukoroli, 2011; Oxford, 2013)
This approach is used in order to create a dialogue between students, and also with the teacher. Instead of focusing solely on the issue of grammar, the Communicative Approach encourages students to talk to others in English even if they make mistakes or do not always get the grammar correct (Oxford, 2013)
This is the reason why domestic violence, emergence of criminal activities and overwhelming power borne by feudal gangs is causing the rate of homicides to rise at an exponential rate. Theoretical Implications As far as the theoretical view of homicide is concerned, the Homicide design theory presents a clear rationale for current violent wave of violation in Puerto Rico (Buss & Dentley, 2011)
In 2012, the similar statistics for homicides have reached 900. In order to combat this issue, it is necessary that the possible causes for this wave of violence should be identified (Godoy, 2008)
Resnick also held that the failure in ESL instruction in Puerto Rico can be linked to the "conflict between the language needs of Puerto Rico, which are based on political nationalism." (Claudio, 2006, p
In another report it is stated that ESL students face many barriers in "accessing and transitioning to college." (Principe, 2005) The work of Claudio (2006) reports that it is held by Resnick (1993) that the "extent to which success or failure of ESL instruction can be determined by factors external to the educational environment
