Written language and spoken language are the basis education and is necessary for all subject areas. Because of this, I have taken a special interest in Language Arts and have made it my concentration within the my teaching major. When I was a student, I never realized the importance of literacy and the subject of language arts. With this realization came a greater appreciation for the subject. I hope to instill a passion for language arts in my students and hopefully this call will prepare me to do so.
Not all students learn the same way and I think that it is incredibly important for teachers to present information in a variety of way to include all learners. I hope to learn different ways of discussing and teaching language arts to my students. I want to be able to present the topic in exciting ways and get children excited about language arts and different kinds of literature.
I have not had much experience in the classroom with literacy and hope to learn different teaching techniques. Most of the work I have done has been with individual students working on worksheets or mini-projects. I have not witness nor participated in many classroom literacy lessons and am eager to see how my CT leads classroom lessons. Personally, I consider the spoken language a part of language arts and working in an urban setting has confirmed my beliefs. The students speak to one another in a way that I was not used to. They is a lot of slang and nicknames that I have never heard before (and to be honest, I sometimes do not really know what they are talking about). This class will hopefully allow me to adjust to linguistic and cultural differences.
