Academic language students sit in groups inventing something that doesn’t yet exist and recording videos of themselves explaining what they invented.
Academic language class is important because it can help you in many ways. Astrid Miranda Nolazco, Maria Flores Flores and Milagros Bulnes Perez said Academic Language has helped them speak English more fluently and improve their pronunciation of words.
Astrid said, “We are focusing in class and doing projects and reading to improve our pronunciation.”
Janvi Rajani, the academic language teacher, said, “Academic Language is a helpful class for the students who need to improve their English.”
She said she’s doing her best to give the students a lot of practice in writing, reading and speaking in English.
In the U.S. there are 5.3 million students that take English as a second language classes.
In Academic Language class they always do Lexia for 15 minutes, and Ms. Rajani always tries to give the students the last 15 minutes to play some games.
Astrid, Milagros and Maria said they would like to know English perfectly because it can help them in so many ways. They are reading, writing and speaking English more fluently because if they practice they will be improving their English.
Ms. Rajani tells the students to stop speaking in their native language in class because if they start speaking, writing, reading or watching things in English they would understand the English more easily and they would know it faster.
She told them to continue practicing things in English and to pay attention to their classes because it doesn’t matter if they don’t understand everything, but if they listen to English words they will understand.
