40 Viewing Comprehension Strategies 40 Viewing Comprehension Strategies: Watching Videos Like You Read A Book by Terry Heick You can’t watch a video like you read a book; the modalities couldn’t be much more different. On the surface level a video uses light, color, sound, and moving images, with the potential for adding text and shape and color and light filters as overlays to communicate ideas, while the most basic text structures use alphanumeric symbols, paragraph and sentence structure, and an assortment of text features (e.g., white space, headings and subheadings, fonts, etc.) to convey their message. There is much, much more to it than this. The Interaction Between Video & Text Studies of the effectiveness of video in formal learning environments have yielded some confusing ideas, namely that content acquired via video consumption doesn’t easily transfer to the medium of text (Fisch 2002; Koran, Snow & McDonald 1971). Below are a few possibilities, many of which you’ll notice apply to non-digital media as well. 1. 2.
The Parts of Speech 101 Most people claim to be befuddled by English grammar. I’m not surprised; it can get pretty complicated. But I think a bigger problem is the way grammar is taught–if it’s taught at all.We make it too difficult too fast. The first key is to separate grammar from usage. I like to think of grammar in terms of four inter-related parts I call the grammar zones. Think of it this way: every one of the hundreds of thousands of words you will use in your lifetime fits into one of just eight categories. Step one in grammar is learning the eight basic functions of words called the parts of speech. A noun is a word that names a person, place, thing, or idea. Pronouns are substitute words. Do you understand how pronouns work? Verbs are the heartbeat of language. Verbs can be changed to indicate time. Another way of thinking about it is that verbs show what people and things do in a sentence. Easy, right? Get these simple ideas and you have taken the first step in understanding English grammar.
The Second Most Spoken Languages Around the World | Olivet Nazarene University The most spoken language in any country is often obvious; usually, it’s the official language of the country. However, you can learn a lot about a country by analyzing its second most spoken language. More than 60 million Americans speak a language at home other than English, of the majority of these Americans reported to the U.S. Share this Image On Your SitePlease include attribution to graduate.olivet.edu with this graphic While many people would guess that English is the second most commonly spoken language in a majority of countries, that’s only true for some areas. In Europe, a continent known for its diverse languages where people are often multilingual, the second most spoken language varies greatly among countries. In some countries, the second most spoken language is used predominantly by the educated classes and/or in major cities. Interestingly, the area of the world where English is the second most commonly spoken language is Asia, especially Southeast Asia.

Benjamin Franklin's Phonetic Alphabet Benjamin Franklin took great interest in the promotion of spelling reform. While living in London in 1768 he wrote A Scheme for a new Alphabet and a Reformed Mode of Spelling in which he proposed a fairly accurate phonetic system for spelling English. The alphabet was published in 1779 in Franklin's Political, Miscellaneous, and Philosophical Pieces. His new phonetic alphabet consisted all the lowercase letters of the Latin alphabet, minus c, j, q, w, x, and y, which he thought redundant, plus six new letters for sounds which he thought lacked unambiguous orthographic representation. The other letters all adhered to the principle of one symbol (or unique digraph) per one sound. Franklin commissioned a type foundry to prepare a suitable type including for the 6 new letters, but soon lost interest in his alphabet. Notable features Double vowels represent long vowel sounds, e.g. aa = [ a: ] and ii = [ i: ]. Franklin's Phonetic Alphabet Sample text Transliteration Links
