What is English?

A short history of the origins and development of English

The history of the English language really started with the arrival of three Germanic tribes who invaded Britain during the 5th century AD. These tribes, the Angles, the Saxons and the Jutes, crossed the North Sea from what today is Denmark and northern Germany. At that time the inhabitants of Britain spoke a Celtic language. But most of the Celtic speakers were pushed west and north by the invaders - mainly into what is now Wales, Scotland and Ireland. The Angles came from Englaland and their language was called Englisc - from which the words England and English are derived.

Ten Steps to Effective Listening

Teaching listening skills is one of the most difficult tasks for any ESL teacher. This is because successful listening skills are acquired over time and with lots of practice. It's frustrating for students because there are no rules as in grammar teaching. Speaking and writing also have very specific exercises that can lead to improved skills. This is not to say that there are not ways of improving listening skills, however they are difficult to quantify.

Why you should study English pronunciation

First impressions

Pronunciation  is definitely the biggest thing that people notice when you are speaking English. Let us tell you a personal anecdote about this:

We once went to a conversation class taught by native speakers (Americans). Before the class started, the teacher said to us: "So, do you speak good English?". Tom replied "We think so", and the guy said "It sure sounds like you do".

Notice that we just said three words, and the teacher could already tell if our English was good or bad. Why did the teacher think our English was good? Because of the difficult words we used? No. Because we used advanced grammar structures? No. It was our pronunciation.

Guide to English Language Grammar

Grammar is that part of language that enables us to build sentences and communicate ideas and thoughts to others. The key components of English Language Grammar include Parts of Speech, Grammar Usage, and Grammar Mechanics. Parts of Speech include nouns, verbs, and modifiers such as adjectives, articles, and adverbs. The study of Grammar Usage encompasses correct verb tense usage, compound and complex sentence structure, and other usage issues. Grammar mechanics cover such issues as spelling rules, punctuation, and capitalization.

DOĞAN CÜCELOĞLU RÖPORTAJI: “Kendimiz için bir mahpushane yaratmışız”

Yaşamı anlama üzerine yazdığı pek çok kitapla 7’den 70’e hepimize seslenen Doğan Cüceloğlu, günlük hayatta göremediklerimizi bize fark ettiren Türkiye’deki ender insanlardan biridir. Sayıları 40’ı aşmış İngilizce ve Türkçe bilimsel makalesi bulunan Cüceloğlu Türk insanının duygu, düşünce ve davranışlarının bilimsel psikoloji kavramları içinde inceleyen kitaplarıyla yıllardır nedenlerimizi sorguluyor.

Kendisiyle ilk tanışıklığım üniversite yıllarıma, "İnsan İnsana" kitabına uzanıyor. Şimdi ise kendi adıyla kurduğu ve sürekli güncel tuttuğu internet sitesi üzerinden yazdığı kitapların değerlendirmelerini diğer okuyucularla paylaşabiliyor, hatta kendisine soru sorabiliyorsunuz.
