The following is a short excerpt from the text “A Talk to Teachers,” by James Baldwin Let’s begin by saying that we are living through a very dangerous time. Everyone in this room is in one way or another aware of that. We are in a revolutionary situation, no matter how unpopular that word has become in this country.

The society in which we live is desperately menaced, not by Khrushchev, but from within. To any citizen of this country who figures himself as responsible – and particularly those of you who deal with the minds and hearts of young people – must be prepared to “go for broke.” Or to put it another way, you must understand that in the attempt to correct so many generations of bad faith and cruelty, when it is operating not only in the classroom but in society, you will meet the most fantastic, the most brutal, and the most determined resistance.

There is no point in pretending that this won’t happen. Since I am talking to schoolteachers and I am not a teacher myself, and in some ways am fairly easily intimidated, I beg you to let me leave that and go back to what I think to be the entire purpose of education in the first place.

It would seem to me that when a child is born, if I’m the child’s parent, it is my obligation and my high duty to civilize that child. Man is a social animal. He cannot exist without a society. A society, in turn, depends on certain things which everyone within that society takes for granted. Now the crucial paradox which confronts us here is that the whole process of education occurs within a social framework and is designed to perpetuate the aims of society.

Thus, for example, the boys and girls who were born during the era of the Third Reich, when educated to the purposes of the Third Reich, became barbarians. The paradox of education is precisely this – that as one begins to become conscious one begins to examine the society in which he is being educated.

The purpose of education, finally, is to create in a person the ability to look at the world for himself, to make his own decisions, to say to himself this is black or this is white, to decide for himself whether there is a God in heaven or not. To ask questions of the universe, and then learn to live with those questions, is the way he achieves his own identity.

But no society is really anxious to have that kind of person around. What societies really, ideally, want is a citizenry which will simply obey the rules of society. If a society succeeds in this, that society is about to perish. The obligation of anyone who thinks of himself as responsible is to examine society and try to change it and to fight it – at no matter what risk.

• This is the only hope society has.
• This is the only way societies change.
• Baldwin, James.

What subjects are taught in English?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia “Anglicist” redirects here. For English words borrowed by others languages, see Anglicism,

This article is missing information about English as a discipline in high school and earlier. Please expand the article to include this information. Further details may exist on the talk page, ( January 2018 )

English studies (usually called simply English ) is an academic discipline taught in primary, secondary, and post-secondary education in English-speaking countries ; it is not to be confused with English taught as a foreign language, which is a distinct discipline.

• An expert on English studies can be called an Anglicist,
• The discipline involves the study and exploration of texts created in English literature,
• English studies include: the study of literature (especially novels, plays, short stories, and poetry ), the majority of which comes from Britain, the United States, and Ireland (although English-language literature from any country may be studied, and local or national literature is usually emphasized in any given country); English composition, including writing essays, short stories, and poetry; English language arts, including the study of grammar, usage, and style ; and English sociolinguistics, including discourse analysis of written and spoken texts in the English language, the history of the English language, English language learning and teaching, and the study of World of English,

English linguistics ( syntax, morphology, phonetics, phonology, etc.) is usually treated as a distinct discipline, taught in a department of linguistics. The disciplinary divide between a dominant literature or usage orientation is one motivation for the division of the North American Modern Language Association (MLA) into two subgroups.

At universities in non-English-speaking countries, the same department often covers all aspects of English studies, including linguistics: this is reflected, for example, in the structure and activities of the European Society for the Study of English (ESSE). It is common for departments of English to offer courses and scholarships in the areas of the English language, literature (including literary criticism and literary theory ), public speaking and speech-writing, rhetoric, composition studies, creative writing, philology and etymology, journalism, poetry, publishing, literacy, area studies (especially American studies ), the philosophy of language, theater and play-writing, screenwriting, communication studies, technical communication, cultural studies, critical theory, gender studies, ethnic studies, disability studies, digital media and electronic publishing, film studies and other media studies, and various courses in the liberal arts and humanities, among others.

In most English-speaking countries, the study at all educational levels of texts produced in non-English languages takes place in other departments, such as departments of foreign language or of comparative literature,

What do 4th graders like?

Math Games for 4th Graders – Since I only taught 4th Grade ELA & Social Studies, I had to interview my co-teacher for this section. She’s taught 4th grade math for three years and I see her using lots of the same teaching strategies I use with ELA. Here are the top things she recommends for a new 4th grade math teacher:

Provide visuals with your math instruction. If you have a SmartBoard, Mimio Teach Board, or document camera—be prepared to use it with every single math lesson. Your 4th graders need to SEE you work the problem with them in organized steps to help them grasp the concepts. Don’t rely solely on explaining.

Be prepared to use lots of manipulatives. Fourth-graders are hands-on learners, especially with math! So help them succeed during math by giving them tools to use for solving problems. You can use things like: Fraction tiles and circles, mini-erasers for counting and grouping, individual whiteboards at their desks, and base-ten blocks, **I’ve also seen my math co-teacher use beans, money, and linking cubes during her math centers!**

Many students in 4th grade love jokes, funny stories, and solving riddles. Use this to your advantage in math with things like: working math problems to solve the riddle, having a Math-Joke-of-the-Day, and algebraic task cards like THESE.

What level is English 4?

English Language Level Test This is a series of quick tests that will give you a rough idea of your level of English on a scale of 0 to 5. There are five tests altogether at different levels. The five levels are very approximately:

Level	Description	CEFR	Cambridge ESOL	IELTS	TOEFL Paper/Computer/Internet
Level 0	No knowledge of English
Level 1	Elementary level of English	A2	KET	3.0	400/97/32
Level 2	Low intermediate level of English	B1	PET	4.0	450/133/45
Level 3	High intermediate level of English	B2	FCE	5.0	500/173/61
Level 4	Advanced level of English	C1	CAE	6.0	550/213/80
Level 5	Proficient in English	C2	CPE	7.0	600/250/100

You start at the level that you think is correct for you and keep on answering the questions until the test finishes and you are given a level. If you get a high mark on one test you will move on to a higher level test. If you get a low mark on a test you will move on to a test at a lower level.

What is the closest language to English?

Except for Frisian, Dutch is linguistically the closest language to English, with both languages being part of the West Germanic linguistic family. This means many Dutch words are cognates with English (meaning they share the same linguistic roots), giving them similar spelling and pronunciation.

What language is most similar to English?

3. Closest Major Language: Dutch – Speaking of Dutch, the next closest relative on our list is none other than this lowlands language. Like Frisian and English, Dutch is another West Germanic language that developed from Proto-Germanic. Because of this, Dutch possesses many words and phrases similar to English and has a similar grammatical structure.

Take a look at the Dutch phrase: ” Ik heb een probleem,” It translates directly to “I have a problem,” in English — and you probably figured that out anyway based on how similar they are. It’s easy to see how the grammatical structure mimics what comes naturally to English speakers. It’s no wonder then that Dutch considered one of the easiest languages for English speakers to learn — and that Dutch speakers are typically the most fluent non-native English speakers around.

As a bonus, English is also quite similar to Afrikaans, a South African language that’s based on Dutch but includes more indigenous vocabulary.
