Language Description

Hi there one and all ...

TSL 1024 Language Description is a tough subject . It talks about the English language and what are in the language AND describing them in detail . Some students found it difficult to cope with the terminologies used in the English language ...well guess what ...even the lecturers face the SAME problem. We have to restudy what we had studied years ago during our first degree which was DECADES ago.

However , if we look at the positive side , we , the lecturers , have the opportunity to connect with our long lost knowledge on the English language . I found this blog which helps to shine some light on Language Description , the anaphoric / cataphoric references :

This subject is strongly related to Linguistics , which will be in the next semester . Well , that is next semester's challenge . Please take this paper seriously if you do not want to resit for it next semester .

Good Luck

Assalammualaikum and a good day to all ....

All normal human beings have their own way of learning . That is the main reason why we as educators , have to be creative in teaching , There is no one-size-fits-all kind of teaching where we apply the same kind of teaching to all our pupils . 

According to Howard Gardner ( 1991 ) "students possess different kinds of minds and therefore learn, remember, perform, and understand in different ways," . Know your students before you prepare the materials for them because it will help you to teach better and the students to learn better .
