TERRY MOORE – WHY IS THE “X” THE UNKNOWN ?

He has the answer why x the unknown is. It is from Arabic which is the reasons as western science and math was really worked out in the first century. This includes Al-jabra in English algebra. In the Arabic language also contained mathematical wisdom, and it influences Europe (Spain). The problem happened when some sounds in Arabic do not be represented by the characters are available in European language. the letter “SHEEN” it like SH the first word of shalan, it means something (something cannot be defines, unknown thing). Just put AL in Arabic and AL –SHALAN means (the unknown thing). The problem also happened in Spanish scholars who were not be able translating this material due to Spanish does not have SH sound. Thus they created another sound the CK sound. Why the X is unknown? because you cannot say “SH” in Spanish.

JOHN MC WORTHER – TXTNG IS KILLING LANGUAGE

In the distant era now, everyone might be easy to give the information to someone, we have something in our pocket to share and receive a message. So texting become popular now, we can write the way we talk, the way we say, in his opinion writing is fingered speech, we can use very natural sense, between the way we talk and the way we texting, but he told that nowadays,   the way young people in USA texting their friends is so broke the language, for example when someone text someone else with the word ‘LOL” (laughing out loud) it means shat someone is laughing, but LOL in texting is not indicate “laughing out loud” anymore, because it’s evolved into something that is much subtler. LOL always be used in every single texting, he said that it’s marker empathy which is called pragmatic particles in linguistics context. In conclusion he said texting is the new way people writing which is developing by using writing skills.

JAY WALKER – ENGLISH MANIA

There are a lot of manias in this world, there are sport mania, music mania, religion mania, mania can be useful can be dangerous. The world has new mania, mania for learning English. For example in china, China learns English by screaming the English sentences and shouts the sentences out together. 2 billion in this world learn English. In china you learn English start from 3rd grade by the law. That’s the reason why china is the largest people who speak English. Why English? Because the opportunity for life, for education and for the future. English is not a tsunami which can erase others languages. English is the world second language, you can discuss about world problem or a global conversation. English is language for problem solving. English mania is representing hope for better future.

What Do Letter Grades “Mean”

Letter Grades?  In my perspective I am disagree with Letter Grades, by grading students with this way, there is a gap between smart students and low students, it is surely not good for those who have low score, they feel sorrowful, it can break their spirit in learning. It can lead them to do cheating, because they think that by getting an “A” problem will solve, then they decide to cheat. It is surely contrary with the aim of learning itself. Because learning is not about score or the result but, process to get the knowledge. Thus, for teacher, it is better to use another way to assess students. There are a several ways to evaluate a student, for instance like narrative evaluations, where the teacher gives a comment by using letter as a media. On that paper teacher will write some achievement, some correction, for knowing student understanding with the materials that teacher has given. Theses evaluations replaced a grade to some comments as a supplement for grading student. This is

Long History of High-Stakes Test  Gregory  J.Cizek  University of North Carolina at Chapell Hill From “Long History of High-Stakes Test” we can see that High-Stakes Test is not effective to measure student, from the history we can conclude, High-Stakes Test is totally cruel to adapt, the history shows that, when the tribe of Ephraim tried to cross the Jordan River, they wanted them to pronounce “Shibboleth”, we may know the Jordan River citizens gave a test to them, if they can not pronounce “Shibboleth” correctly, they was killed by Jordan River citizen, from the history we can see that situation is like violence, when something have to measure by giving a test to produce a perfectness result,  when you fail to do that, you can not pass the test, and it becomes a high risk. We can summarize that High-Stakes Test can not completely apply for assessing students, nowadays, an assessment is not solely using a test, test is not everything, student can not be assessed by only givi
