I have experience using this program from my internship, so I am proficient in most of its applications and can create a variety of pieces. I am eager to further specialize my skills through courses to become even faster and more precise in this role. I am a quick learner and can easily adapt to new programs.

Communication Technologies

*Before the advent of computers and modern technology, people communicating over long distances used traditional means such as letters and the telephone. Nowadays, we have a vast array of communication tools that can complete this task, ranging from email to instant messaging and video calls. While the present and previous means of communication are similar in their general form, they differ in regard to their speed and the range of tools available.*

Similarities in Communication Forms

One similarity between current and previous methods of communication relates to the form of communication. In the past, both written forms, such as letters, were frequently used, in addition to oral forms, such as telephone calls. Similarly,...

• Developing the four language skills (reading, writing, listening, speaking)
• Activating both brain hemispheres
• Enhancing memory
• Increasing motivation

• Songs allow children to pick up chunks of language.

**Enhancing Bilingual Education: Connecting L1 and Target Language**

**The Interconnectedness of Languages**

The assumption that "students' languages should be kept separate" is incorrect because it overlooks the natural connections between a learner's first language (L1) and the target language (TL). It is impossible to completely separate these languages as they are interconnected in the brain. Therefore, teachers should actively promote this connection.

Lambert, Tucker, and Cummins emphasize the importance of extensive communicative interaction and comprehensible input in the TL. While creating separate spaces for each language is beneficial, it is equally crucial to establish a shared space that fosters language awareness and cross-language...

Understanding Sentence Structure

Subject and Predicate

Subject: The subject of a sentence, often a nominal phrase, consists of a determiner (det), a noun (cn), and can include a proper noun (sn). It agrees in gender and number with the predicate.

Predicate: The predicate contains the verb, which links the subject to its attributes. It can include a copulative verb or a verbal predicate. The core of the predicate is the verb, and it may be accompanied by complements.

Predicate Attributes

Attributive Predicate: Introduced by a copulative verb (like 'be' or 'appear to be'), it completes the subject. It's often an adjective that agrees in gender and number with the subject. Copulative verbs primarily provide information about the state of being.
