Deaf CommunityIn many countries, deaf children are not given the opportunity to attend mainstream schools, and instead are segregated into special schools for the deaf. This can lead to a feeling of isolation and exclusion, as well as limiting their potential educational opportunities. In addition, the deaf community often faces discrimination in employment, with many employers reluctant to hire deaf employees. This is particularlytrue in workplaces where communication is crucial, such as customer service or sales. As a result, deaf people often find it difficult to enter certain professions, and are more likely to be underemployed. Finally, the deaf community also has to contend with negative attitudes and misconceptions about their culture and language. Many hearing people view sign language as inferior to spoken languages, and this attitude can lead to misunderstandings and tension between the two groups. With these challenges faced by the deaf community on a daily basis,…...

The Subgrouping of the Semitic LanguagesFor an extended period, the Semitics have benefited from the study of cultural languages, as it forms one of the world languages most studied to date. Due to continued research, our knowledge of both the modern and ancient languages impacts our understanding of the Semitic family internal subgroupings. The contemporary model of Sematic family subgrouping is predominantly founded on Robert Hetzron (Rubin, 61). However, within the last two decades, Semitists from multiple subfields have enhanced Hetzrons model.One of the subgroupings of the Semitic languages includes East and est Sematic. The east Sematic consists of the dialects of Elbaite and Akkadian. The division has been uncontroversial for almost a century. The west is distinguished from the east Sematic by introducing the handed down stative (qatala) to past tense, while the handed down past tense (yaqtul) has been lost. Another subgroup is the East Sematic and Eblaite,…...

Bilingualism
As Pettito and Kovelman (2003) point out, conditions for becoming bilingual are youth, consistent exposure to both languages, and practice in a range of contexts. The ELL teacher cannot do much about the first condition -- but consistent exposure to the L2 and providing a range of contexts are two things the ELL teacher can do. Each of these practices can be achieved in the following five ways: 1) reading in a variety of formats, 2) speaking with a variety of individuals (making the ELL speak with peers, adults, strangers, etc.), 3) learning grammar and practicing grammar skills (diagramming exercises on the board are a good way to make this happen, 4) taking field trips so that the ELLs are exposed to new surroundings and giving them questionnaires that they must fill out by asking people questions on the field trip,…...

Not only are many Chinese immigrants well assimilated into their host nations, but they also have established family businesses that preclude them from being interested in taking up a teaching position. Furthermore, many Chinese immigrants abroad speak dialects other than Mandarin.
Hanban is also a direct emissary for the Chinese government and as such, it can more directly spread Beijing-sponsored values and ideas. Creating and disseminating a uniform message about China is as important as spreading a standardized version of Mandarin. Teaching methods can also be universalized, standardized for quality and effectiveness by Hanban. The government of the United States has actively engaged in language exportation but in less formal ways. While no Hanban equivalent exists, English is disseminated regularly and systematically through the popular media and through international business enterprise.

Modern Missions
William Carey, a Baptist preacher, is considered to be the Father of Modern Mission. Carey believed absolutely that the Word of God was to be taken to all nations, devoted his own life to this endeavor, and challenged other believers to engage in this sacred work. In terms of sheer numbers of converts, Carey's accomplishments would be considered small, particularly when measured against the standards in place today. William Carey demonstrated that one man's vision be the catalyst for a movement that will serve God and others in s manner that adheres to the great commission. When Carey first made his ideas about carrying the Word to people around the world, he was told by his ministering peers to sit down and give up the unrealistic and non-mandated idea. But Carey's vision stood fast on the foundation of his spiritual beliefs and…...

Further, it is in this stage that instructors have the ability to widen the instruction significantly to incorporate many activities that allow students to practice their new knowledge in a variety of different ways and with focus on a variety of different subject matters.
In viewing the basic theoretical and practical-use background of the Natural Approach of Language Teaching and Learning, one can understand that basic functions that allow students the ability to hone new skills in a non-threatening environment. However, despite significant praise in the teaching community regarding the success of the Natural Approach, the method's critics still exist. Due to this, it is crucial to understand the advantages as well as the disadvantages that exist when the Natural Approach is employed in a language learning environment, especially in dealing with English as a second language.

international emphasis on education, including the study of languages and foreign cultures, is today still very limited and biased, creating a gap between the job skills and competencies acquired during studies and the international component increasingly present in every work environment, where the young graduate will have to travel or relate to foreign clients, suppliers and several stakeholders. De Wit, Jaramillo, and Knight (2005) report that the development of advanced communication, new technology, increased labor mobility, market economy and trade liberalization, increased private investment, decreased support of higher education, and the development of lifelong learning, are all key drivers for universities to have to internationalize their curricula. They also add that on the government side, the only attention given to this need is for educational programs preparing for government departments, and not for business and the industry at large. Therefore, it is evident that with an increasing global environment,…...

Language barriers in businesses LANGUAGE BAIES IN BUSINESSES 3Language Barriers in BusinessesCommunication is considered very effective, and it assists in creating and managing a more efficient and effective workforce. For the world to become perfect, each employee must understand the meaning of what is said and even follow instructions without making errors. In reality, one must be clear, elaborate, and rephrase to promote comprehension (Khelifa et al., 2021). The employees must know of the barriers to communication and find ways of amending them. The international language barriers pose massive changes to the businesses that want to expand in the new markets. Even professional organizations face challenges since differences in languages cause miscommunications to threaten business plans.Nonetheless, overcoming the language barrier helps businesses expand globally (Khelifa et al., 2021). The companies must operate in many global languages. The companies use languages in marketing, and they also use them to establish successful…...

Sentence Structure in the Japanese and English LanguageSentence structure is a style that describes the structural form of a sentence and theway its components are displayed. To keep the readers interested and make the sentence structure rhythmic, authors should alter their sentence pattern, just as they must alter their use of language. hen people learn a new language, knowing its grammar is unavoidable. Nevertheless, if anyone can have vast language knowledge, but if they cannot interact efficiently with native speakers, they needto learn the proper grammatical structure and sentence patterns. Japanese vocabulary is not the same as English vocabulary (Japanese Sentence Structure and ord Order n.d). Nevertheless, once you get used to the sentence structure in Japanese, it becomes easier to understand how to make sentences since its structure is more flexible when compared to the English one.The word order in the Japanese language is different from that of English.…...

Learning an L2 is important because it gives an individual an opportunity to not only learn the way in which a people communicate but also the chance to understand the culture of the community in which the immigrant lives. Language is the expression of culture and the avenue by which all people advance to social, academic and economic success. This paper discusses the meaning of learning a new language in cultural and socio-economic terms and why it is so imperative that people have the supports they need to acquire linguistic skills.
Culture, Identity, and Language: Uncovering Human and Social Capital

Each standardized nursing language is designed for use in a number of clinical settings, including home care, ambulatory care, and inpatient treatment, with certain languages providing decided advantages within particular circumstances. Although it is true that "improved communication with other nurses, health care professionals, and administrators of the institutions in which nurses work is a key benefit of using a standardized nursing language" (utherford, 2008), the proliferation of several nursing languages throughout the years has inevitably resulted in discrepancies, wherein the personal preferences of nurses, the policy of a hospital's corporate ownership, or other factors determine when, where, and why a specific language is used.
To address the growing concern over the inability of nurse's to communicate through a single standardized language system, the International Council of Nurses (ICN) commissioned a comprehensive study which resulted in the International Classification for Nursing Practice (ICNP) being selected as the most advantageous option.…...

There has, in fact, been a great deal of resistance noted in the use of Portuguese as the sole official language throughout much of Brazil; the huge prevalence of indigenous languages still spoken in many regions of the country is one testament to that fact. In addition, there has been a strong reactionary element against perceived outside influences in the linguistic development of the country. Nheemgatu lies right at the crossroads of these issues, and so has occupied a special place in the public consciousness and in the scholarship regarding language development in Brazil specifically, and with colonization generally (Massini-Cagliari 2004). Examinations of the controversy of Nheengatu as it has played out socially and politically in Brazil reveals that the fervor is just as strong in the desire to hold onto the language as a native remnant as it is to abandon the language as a relic of colonization…...

In his seminal work, Second-Language Acquisition in Childhood, McLaughlin (1985) reports that early research into language acquisition by preschool children suggested that interference between languages is not as inevitable or universal as was once believed. "Contrastive analysis, in its traditional form, was not able to account for the vast majority of errors that second-language learners made; in fact, learners from quite different language backgrounds appeared to make the same types of mistakes in the target language," he adds (McLaughlin, 1985, p. 14).
Since these early studies into language acquisition, other studies have shown that transfer from the first language does take place in the speech of children from certain first-language backgrounds and at certain times during the learning process. Therefore, McLaughlin cautions that, "It is an exaggeration to say that transfer from the first language is minimal and unimportant. The acquisition of phonological, syntactic, and morphological structures in a second…...

While many fields of study seem to only have academic applications, sociolinguistics has many real-world applications. Sociolinguistics examines how various cultural factors impact the use of language, not only in what languages are spoken by people in various groups, but also how that language is spoken by those people. The various factors that can influence the language someone speaks or how they speak a language include, but are not limited to: gender, ethnicity, religion, status, level of education, age, and geographical distribution.
