I think I misunderstood the format of the chat. I thought everyone was supposed to ask and answer 5 questions #inzpired #edt5335

LaneWalker2 Jul 28 @ 10:49 PM EDT

That thought occurred to me when someone gave me a Korean hymnal and I could play it on a piano. #INZPirED

Nice, I find most places are tourist friendly & hv road signs in English. My visit to South Korea was w/out hassle #INZPirED

In reply to @LaneWalker2

REnox101 Jul 28 @ 10:51 PM EDT

I would think English would be least important in Science because of all the latin terms #inzpired #edt5335

No worries - asking questions is never bad though :) Someone will always get back with an answer at some point. #INZPirED

But if lab-based work is being done, then it would be more challenging to collaborate #INzpired

Q3 is heating up - #INZpirED

REnox101 Jul 28 @ 10:54 PM EDT

Q3- #INZpirED

KSThakral - Moderator Jul 28 @ 10:55 PM EDT

Tools like Google translate are getting better with AI. Soon language will not be a barrier but an opportunity. #INZPirED

stephwurking Jul 28 @ 10:55 PM EDT

Maybe so, but the problem would probably be in terms of register and then use of verb phrases #INZPired

In reply to @REnox101

LaneWalker2 Jul 28 @ 10:55 PM EDT

Wow! #Inzpired

In reply to @REnox101, @rsehji

Again depends on the lab work. In #foodtech it is easier to work in groups and collaborate #INZPirED Disassembling pdts & recipes; then NPD

In reply to @LaneWalker2, @REnox101

So many new words are international, thankfully. #Inzpired

In reply to @stephwurking, @REnox101

Soon, but very soon. That will not replace the human, social element needed for language learning, though. #INZPired

In reply to @KSThakral

KSThakral - Moderator Jul 28 @ 10:57 PM EDT

A3: Quite relevant. A lot of Ss migrate & it impacts almost all classrooms. The level of personalisation to support is crucial #INZPirED

Q3- #INZpirED

No but we are talking a Korean child accessing a English website and understanding it in context & vice versa. #INZPirED

Exactly! I made that observation when I was travelling to places where Eng was not their 1st language #INZPirED

I think ESL is still very relevant due to the fact the teacher does not need be fluent in the language of their students #inzpired #edt5335

In reply to @LaneWalker2, @stephwurking

REnox101 Jul 28 @ 11:09 PM EDT

From what I have observed those who have learned English as an additional language have more proficient language skills #inzpired #edt5335

I agree. That's the downside of geography and lots of space. #INZpired

In reply to @rsehji, @stephwurking

KSThakral - Moderator Jul 28 @ 11:09 PM EDT

A4: Pronunciation, Grammar etc could be an issue. Also there can be a difference btw spoken and written English #INZPirED

eslweb Jul 28 @ 11:09 PM EDT

#INZPirED A4 Yes, second language learners often don't know basic vocab young children know, but are developed in other ways.
