Values and Character Development in English Instruction

"In addition to aesthetic sensitivity, literary research elicits inductive insights in the fields of psychology, philosophy, history, sociology, which provides data on topics such as the meaning and purpose of human beings, sins, and human beings "(Nate), 2006, page 230). As Knight clearly points out, the middle class' English classes are full of opportunities to teach the values ​​of the Bible and help them to develop their own characters as Christian young men and women.

Characteristics of school / student / staff: The author defines the following educational methods: mother tongue teaching; native language support; English / English development as second language; and asylum-based English education) We define students of type: English only, minority of languages, limited English proficiency or English learner, and fluent English ability (first fluent English ability and redesigned fluent English ability)

English (ESL) as Second Language: In a way to speak English to users in other languages, English is a medium of teaching. ESL students receive a specific education period that is not academic content, with emphasis on grammar, vocabulary and communication, designed to develop English skills. Academic content is handled through mainstream guidance and usually does not provide special English aid (August & Hakuta, 1997).

Students will gradually move to English classes and receive academic guidance in their native language. The purpose of this program is to improve the level of English and the academic level of the mother tongue and maintain teaching the mother tongue for a certain period (probably more than seven years). About half of the students are English learners who speak English as their mother tongue and half speak the same mother tongue. Students in both groups are taught in two languages, and all students can improve their academic standards in both languages. This program is usually provided as an option for magnet school
