  • Academic Vocabulary Guide: Selecting Words to Study
    Academic Vocabulary Guide: Selecting Words to Study During your academic career, you must learn to independently select words to study.1 At university, you may want to ensure you can understand and use the most frequent academic words. As your study progresses, you will need to select important words to learn from texts such as journal articles or textbooks you read. Finally, to help establish yourself as a member of your field, you will want to identify and develop a rich, discipline-specific vocabulary. Benefits of Selecting Your Own Study Words By actively selecting study-words, you can deepen your interest, engagement, and motivation to study vocabulary.2 By extension, selecting your own words will help you increase your awareness of words, learn words more deeply, and remember them longer.3 If you know and can use more words, this should also increase engagement in classes, academic discussions, and research. Additionally, if you learn to use tools to select high-priority words, you can maximize your study time for high-frequency academic words rather than words you will rarely encounter. Using this strategy can also help you quickly find important discipline-specific words while reading so you can add them to your vocabulary study. How to Use This Strategy Identify Words Using a General List When you want to check or enhance your academic vocabulary, these carefully researched lists can help you make sure you are spending your time learning frequent, useful words that will help you manage the listening, speaking, and writing required in your university classes.

    TEACHING PHONICS TO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS IN CHINA Approved: Date: __May 9th 2019____________ Paper Advisor TEACHING PHONICS TO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS IN CHINA A Seminar Paper Presented to The Graduate Faculty University of Wisconsin-Platteville In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirement for the Degree Master of Science in Education English Education By Feijun Wang 2019 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First and foremost, I would like to show my deepest gratitude to my supervisor, Dr. Wonim Son, a respectable, responsible and resourceful scholar, who has provided me with valuable guidance in every stage of the writing of this paper. Without her enlightening and insightful instruction, impressive kindness and patience, I could not have completed my paper. Her keen and vigorous academic observation enlightens me not only in this paper but also in my future study. I would also like to thank all my teachers who have helped me to develop the fundamental and essential academic competence. Last but not least, I want to sincerely thank all my friends, especially my two lovely classmates, for their encouragement and support. iii Abstract TEACHING PHONICS TO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS IN CHINA Feijun Wang Under the Supervision of Dr. Wonim Son. School of Education Although phonics is a hot topic in the elementary English education circles of China, it is the traditional spelling method that is used in most elementary English classes. This paper, by comparing phonics method with International phonetic alphabets method as well as traditional method, aims to prove that the former is more advantageous to English teaching in elementary schools. By conducting literature review on phonetic alphabet teaching method and traditional teaching method in China, as well as review on phonics method in western countries, this paper proves the feasibility and effectiveness of phonics method in English class of Chinese elementary school.

  • An Analysis of Phonics Teaching in Mainland China
    ISSN 1798-4769 Journal of Language Teaching and Research, Vol. 8, No. 2, pp. 286-290, March 2017 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17507/jltr.0802.09 An Analysis of Phonics Teaching in Mainland China Min Cao School of Foreign Language Studies, Henan Polytechnic University, Jiaozuo, Henan, China; School of Languages, University of Portsmouth, UK Abstract—This article tries to analyze the present status of phonics teaching in Mainland China by using documentary research method through sorting out all the essays about phonics teaching in CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure) according to their research contents and research methods. The data collected shows that Phonics, Pinyin and IPA are mainly discussed topics, especially different roles of them in English teaching. Unfortunately, misconceptions about phonics do appear in some of those essays collected, while localization of phonics is emerging. This paper seems to shed light on a general overview of English phonics teaching in Mainland China for English teachers and researchers and cope up with the difficult points and conflicts to provide improvement for phonics teaching. Index Terms—phonics teaching, international phonetic alphabet, Chinese Pinyin I. INTRODUCTION It is widely believed that English is a global language in a world of modern communications. As Chinese people are hungry for learning English, the Ministry of Education (2001) claimed English as a required course at grade three in primary school ever since the autumn of 2001, and suggested some well-equipped primary schools could start English class as early as grade one. Because of the national movement of English learning, the number of Chinese people who are learning English have reached more than 300 million, according to the Ministry of Education (2006).

  • The Analytic Hierarchy Process and Basic English
    THE ANALYTIC HIERARCHY PROCESS AND BASIC ENGLISH Keikichi Osawa* Nihon University Izumi-chou, Narashino Chiba 275-8575, Japan [email protected] Masaaki Shinohara Nihon University Izumi-chou, Narashino Chiba 275-8575, Japan [email protected] ABSTRACT Basic English is a highly organized system of simple English invented by an English scholar, Charles Kay Ogden, about 80 years ago. The main property of Basic English is its analyticity (being analytic). Basic English was possible because of the analytic property of the Modern English language; many complex words being put into more simple, basic words (e.g. 'enter' is analyzed as 'go into'). C.K. Ogden thought that the ambiguous use of words and its consequent confusion in our thought can be reduced by using Basic English. A main property of the Analytic Hierarchy Process is also its analyticity; decomposing a decision-making problem into interrelated decision elements describing the problem in a hierarchical way, goal, criteria, and alternatives. Similarities and differences between Basic English and Analytic Hierarchy Process are discussed, and on the basis of this discussion, English sentences and Japanese sentences are analyzed from the view point of Analytic Hierarchy Process and a new framework for the Analytic Hierarchy Process based on Basic English, AHP/BE, is suggested. Keywords: Basic English, hierarchy, Ogden, analyticity, ambiguous use of words 1. Introduction Basic English (BE), developed by Charles Kay Ogden during 1925-30, is a simplified form of English restricted to an 850-word vocabulary and a few rules of grammar. The basic idea of BE is to use simple words to explain harder thoughts.

  • How to Produce Vocabulary Lists? Issues of Definition, Selection and Pedagogical Aims
    How to produce vocabulary lists? Issues of definition, selection and pedagogical aims. A response to Gabriele Stein Introduction On the surface level, producing vocabulary lists is easy. The task that once involved an enormous effort and countless hours of meticulous manual counting (cf. West, 1953) can today be achieved in a matter of seconds using current language corpora and corpus software. However, the vocabulary list is only meaningful if several key methodological and conceptual questions are addressed before it is produced. In her contribution, Stein raises several questions about the validity and usefulness of the New General Service List (new- GSL) (Brezina & Gablasova, 2015). Such reflection is genuinely needed because it invites critical rethinking of some of the basic tenets of vocabulary research. This short contribution reviews Stein’s argument and replies to the main points raised in her paper. We identify and discuss three fundamental principles of wordlist creation, namely i) construct definition, ii) the target vocabulary identification and iii) the purpose of the wordlist, and show that the paradigm the new-GSL follows differs from the one used by Stein. Our contribution seeks to open a broader discussion about the principles of building wordlists for applied linguistic research and pedagogical purposes. This discussion draws and expands on the principles used in Brezina & Gablasova (2015) for the creation of the new-GSL. Defining the construct The first step in the creation of a vocabulary list should involve a definition of the vocabulary construct that the list seeks to represent. Since any type of ‘vocabulary’ (e.g. general, academic or medical) is merely an abstraction, we need to state where its boundaries lie.
