Second Language/Foreign Language Data |
Anna is a fifth-grade student at your school. She is the “family interpreter” at school functions, as her parents and younger siblings do not speak English. You notice that Anna has difficulties with some aspects of English, specifically with her use of syntax (her word order in sentence structure) and morphology (her use of prefixes/suffixes).
Using the Ashford University Library, locate two recent peer-reviewed research articles that would help you with addressing Anna’s difficulties in English. In your discussion post, provide an assessment of the best methods suggested by the authors for working with Anna’s difficulties. Would these methods be effective? How would you know whether or not they were effective?
Guided Response: Review several of your classmates’ posts. Respond to at least two of your peers by providing feedback on what your classmates have mentioned as the best methods suggested for working with Anna’s difficulties. Consider whether you agree or disagree and provide your rationale.
Carefully review the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric for the criteria that will be used to evaluate this Discussion Thread.
