A Global Summit to Save the Tigers

From around 1,00,000 a century ago the number of tigers in the wild has been reduced to just about 3200 in 2010. With such an alarming decline in the number of tigers, the governments of the tiger range countries have joined hands along with the World Bank to save the majestic big cat of the Asian Jungle. St. Petersburg in Russia played host to an unprecedented event - the first ever high-level summit meeting to save an endangered species- The Tiger. The International Tiger Conservation Forum meeting which was organized by the government of the Russian Federation in association with the World Bank from November 21st to 24th was the culmination of nearly a two year long consultation process between the 13 tiger range countries to evolve a global strategy to save the big cat as part of the Global Tiger Initiative of the World Bank. Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin along with leaders from India, China, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Thailand, and Vietnam signed the St. Petersburg Declaration affirming their resolve

    Cerebrovascular Attack Case Study

    Cerebrovascular accident is well known as a stroke and affects around 800,000 people every year (Mclntosh, 2016). There are three types of strokes: ischemic, hemorrhagic and transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) (Mclntosh, 2016). Ischemic stroke is the most prevailing type of strokes with an 85 percent average rate (Mclntosh, 2016). It is cause by the reduction of blood flow, because of a narrowed or blocked artery in the brain (Mclntosh, 2016). Also, it is a rapid loss of blood supply which kill the cells of the brain and limits oxygen to go to that side of the brain (Mclntosh, 2016). For example, in the arteries that travels gets blocked because of a blood clots called thrombus (Mclntosh, 2016). Hemorrhagic stroke is the…

    Summary Of My Two Minds By Catherine De Lange

    In the article “My Two Minds”, Catherine De Lange details the differences between bilingualism and monolinguals. It was believed that starting back in the 19th century, bilingualism would confuse the capability of a child to fully understand either language properly. Later studies then shown that people who were bilingual may not have as a diverse vocabulary, but the overall cognitive ability to speak another language did not hinder the overall development.…

    The Pros And Cons Of Bilingual Education

    Bilingualism has become very popular within the last couple of years. It is growing into society everyday, making it second nature to some people. In fact there are actually more bilingual individuals around the world compared to monolingual, suggesting that many countries are bilingual (Bialystok et al., 2012). A bilingual individual is defined by society as being able to fluently speak two languages (Woolfolk et al., 2012). Contrastingly, a monolingual individual is defined as only being able to speak one language, which is often called the mother tongue (Woolfolk et al., 2012).…

    In my opinion bilingualism plays a major role in the educational development of children. This is because research has shown that children who are fluent in their home language are more successful in learning a second language. Furthermore, being bilingual offers greater sensitivity to language, more flexibility in thinking and better ear for listening. It also improves a child’s understanding for the native language. Moreover, knowledge of other languages increases a career of opportunities offering several job options.…

    Phonological Awareness Paper

    Phonological awareness is the ability to attend explicitly to the phonological structure of spoken words. Failure to develop an adequate vocabulary, understanding of print concepts, or phonological awareness during the early (preschool) years constitutes some risks for reading difficulties. Phonological awareness skills are believed to be predictive of a child’s ease in learning to read. More than 20 percent of student’s struggle with some aspects phonological awareness, while 8-10 percent exhibit significant delays (Adams et al. 2.). Phonemic awareness is the insight that every spoken word can be conceived as a sequence of phonemes. It is the understanding that spoken language can be analyzed into strings of separate words and that words can be analyzed in sequences of syllables and phonemes within syllables. Young children begin to notice sound similarities in the words they hear. People who can apart words into sounds, recognize their identity, and put…

    Bilingual Education Benefits Essay

    When it comes to the academic benefits of bilingual education amid students, it has been pointed out that grade three students who were taken through bilingual education from their kindergarten level of education did not perform in the same way Spanish-speaking students who started in English-only programs did in their class tests (Carlson &Meltzof, 2008). Spanish speaking children performed exceptionally better. However, as the same students advanced in their studies to the fifth grade, students who were subjected to bilingual education were more likely to read to the same standards or even better compared to their peers who went through English-only programs (Soderman, 2010). Bilingual education enabled individuals to read and write better in the additional languages they…

    Assess The Benefits Of Being Bilingualism

    Being bilingual has a positive effect on the brain’s executive control system, its responsibilities are high-level thinking, attention, and multitasking (Myler). For example, bilingual people are usually switching between two languages and this makes them more likely to switch between two tasks(Myler). In addition, the executive control system includes ignoring distractions, and solving problems. Studies also show that bilinguals outperform monolinguals in certain situations that require high monitoring demands and memory tasks (Myler). Bilingualism also slows down the aging process of the brain and prevents illnesses, such as Dementia and Alzheimer.…

    Phonology In Children

    Phonology is a fundamental principle for language in every individual’s life. We are exposed to this principle before and after birth and throughout our lives. Phonology is fundamental to all spoken languages, each language having its own system. Regardless of the types of language spoken to a child, children have difficulties producing meaningful speech because they haven’t grown into their oral structure, in other words, their teeth. Children are developing the ability to produce speech sounds through their ongoing process of practicing and learning how sounds are produced (Hoff, 2013, p.116). Phonological processes enables them to obtain more words, and each child develops “systematic ways in which to alter the sounds of the target language…

    Cost Of Bilingual Education Essay

    Over the years, bilingual education has involved teaching children academics in two different languages so they may become competent learners and be successful at acquiring English. This type of education has been a hot topic that federal governments have debated whether to keep in the curriculum of schools. Studies have shown there are benefits that range from cognitive ability, educational advancement, to employment opportunities with a bilingual education, while the critics label it as a “failed experiment” that costed a whole lot of money and years to maintain a basic foundation in the second language. Although the cost is hefty for this exploration of a new language and is time consuming, the cognitive abilities, educational advancement,…

    Benefits Of Bilingual Education

    Bilingual education has been shown to increase the academic achievement, cognitive development, metalinguistic awareness, and writing proficiency of bilingual students. The reason that explains the effectiveness of bilingual education is that it is easier for students to acquire their second language by first developing fluency in their native language. According to Estrada (2009), “when language learners learn grade-level academic content and skills in their first language throughout their instructional program, they can solidly transfer that knowledge to academic work in their second language” (p. 55). Therefore, when students develop reading, writing, and mathematical skills in their native language, it becomes easier for them to develop these skills in their second language. This way, bilingual education is effective in helping students achieve academic proficiency as well as language and communication skills in a second…
