Observations On The Language Acquisition Of A Thai/English Bilingual Child, Michael A. Betcher
Observations On The Language Acquisition Of A Thai/English Bilingual Child, Michael A. Betcher
MA TESOL Collection
A child subject, bilingual in Thai and English, was studied during his 25th months for aspects of transference* and interference in his developing speech. A speach diary was kept on a daily basis. Attention was focused on prosodic features (intonation/tonality), word borrowing and code switching. Examples of all these phenomena were recorded, but the most significant was that of prosodic interference, wherein English intonation indicating stress, excitement or urgency was carried over into the strictly regulated Thai intonation system. * A term which is used to avoid the negative implications of "interference" and to indicate the use of a syncretic …

Of Time And Tense: An Analysis Of The English Verb Tense System For The Esl Teacher, William David Helz
Of Time And Tense: An Analysis Of The English Verb Tense System For The Esl Teacher, William David Helz
MA TESOL Collection
The intent of the writer with this paper is to provide the ESL instructor with the knowledge necessary to effective planning for and teaching of lessons concerning the verb tenses of English.
The analysis given in the paper is an attempt at viewing the verb tenses as compromising a system which is basically symmetrical and surprisingly logical. As such, it is felt that through exploring the relationships tenses share with one another, we have found the key to demonstrating tense usage and meaning effectively for students and to planning drills and exercises which will zero in on the primary conceptual …

Bengali Sound-Color Fidel And Spelling Charts And Their Analysis, Husne Jahan Alam
MA TESOL Collection
The Sound-Color Fidel represents in color all the sounds of modern Bengali and is designed to facilitate the easy recognition and reproduction of those sounds. The colored Spelling Charts are a group of phonic codes which include all the signs and spellings of written Bengali arranged in vertical columns corresponding to the Sound-Color Fidel. They are designed to organize and simplify the complexities of written Bengali. My paper explains the assumptions about teaching and learning I developed during the production of the charts, my understanding of the sounds and spellings of the Bengali language and their arrangement on the charts …
