ELL: Methods And Techniques
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. English Language Learners (ELL) are stigmatized twice by their linguistic deficiency: first in their ability to assimilate into America's multicultural society and second in their capacity to earn an education that will increase their economic status. The socioeconomic aspect of being able to speak English is a critical component to the psychological wellbeing of many cultures who choose to make the United States their home. Without the means to communicate in a nation where English is the primary language, entire families can become paralyzed when it comes to remaining boxed inside their specific cultural limitations. Children and youth represent the key to helping their families and themselves alike to escape the boundaries of language deficit with the methods and techniques afforded them through ELL classrooms. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Emotional Characteristics Of Creative/Gifted Children
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. There is nothing inherently wrong with being smart, unless the individual is a child who does not understand why he or she is having difficulty fitting in to his or her age group. Gifted children often feel shunned from others because they cannot readily relate to them on the same academic level; many gifted children are pushed forward into higher grades with classmates much older and, thereby, have even less in common with them. Indeed, the double-edged sword of being a gifted child lends itself to a multitude of confusing emotions – particularly in the adolescent stage – when it comes to fitting in with his or her peers.

Employment Outcomes for Minority Students
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. Many schools today offer school-to-work initiatives which serve the purpose of helping students prepare for their futures outside of the classroom environment. School-to-work initiatives have been found to be extremely productive in giving students a chance to try different occupations and get an idea of what they want to do with their lives. But do these programs help all the students equally? Many studies show that minority students do not have the same opportunity to take advantage of the school-to-work programs; this paper takes a look at the issue. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

[ send me this paper ]
This 6 page report discusses an article with the above title that examines the relationship between trainees participating in the JTPA programs who were ex-offenders and had been incarcerated compared to non-offenders who faced other barriers to employment. Not surprisingly, research generally supported the assumption that those without an arrest record were typically thought of more highly, regardless of the qualifications or experience of a person who had been convicted of a crime. Yet a surprisingly little amount of research has actually been done on the issue. No secondary sources.

English as a Second Language: Rules and Meaning
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page paper. Genre-based approaches to teaching English as a second language (ESL) have been used for some time, and of course there have been mixed results reported in the degree of success possible with the genre-based approach. The question that remains is which is more important for a second language speaker, knowing the rules or having access to the actual meaning. The answer appears to be that both are necessary to achieve effective communication that conveys the full message intended by the individual for whom English is not his native language.

English Language Learners (ELL): Families And School
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Acquiring a well-rounded education a enough of a challenge when students speak the common language of a particular society, however, when students know their tongues from another country, it presents significant problems with their ability to learn without benefit of understanding the primary language. English Language Learners (ELLs) face this struggle on a daily basis for two main reasons: schools are not adequately equipped to reach and teach this particular population of special needs students and family at home often speaks their native language which leaves precious little opportunity for the students to improve upon their English. Even if it is a bilingual home, this only serves to encourage code-switching. Moreover, foreign culture often teaches children not to question authority, which leaves an ELL student without means to help himself. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Ethical Issues and Dilemmas Faced in Adult Education
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper on ethical issues faced in adult education. Ethical issues are of great importance in the process of adult education. Through the process of adult education, adult learners and their educators must determine what courses, learning processes and goals can be established for content and throughout this process social and moral considerations may be controversial and involve conflicting beliefs and values. Educators must identify the goals of the course in relation to the personal and professional goals of the adult learner while at the same time allowing for adult learners to either accept or reject the opportunities made available to them through education. Sometimes, educators may be upset or may disagree with the goals adult learners have set for themselves but they must also allow for the fact that adult learners differ from students who are children in that they already have established goals, lifestyles, beliefs and values which they may not care to change through the course of education. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Exusism in School
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page paper discussing the detriments of offering excuses rather than effort. “My dog ate my homework” is tired and worn, but of course no nine-year-old realizes that until s/he tries to use it with the teacher. The high school student appearing bleary-eyed and lethargic in the early morning after working until midnight the night before can be seen as having a more legitimate excuse for not having her work done, but it still is an excuse nonetheless. Many adults seek to avoid taking personal responsibility for their own actions; exusism is only an early manifestation of that lifelong trap. The paper urges teachers and parents to expect more, and provides the example of the Knowledge is Power Program (KIPP) that has been so successful in public schools and is based on shouldering responsibility and working hard. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
