Welcome to English 1301 - Spring 2012 Minimester

The primary objective of this class is to facilitate each student to develop their writing processes with a particular emphasis on critical thinking through audience awareness, focused purpose, and the utilization of rhetorical strategies. Additionally, this class will help prepare students for the genres of academic writing they may encounter during their academic careers. Throughout this course, students can expect to work individually and collaboratively.

mminteresting subject f?? cant wait for class tomorrow

1) In my point of view in this world there is many different kinds of English as well as different accents, for some people located in different parts of the world they used different words and for them there are correct, but for other people that are not located in the same place they are incorrect but its proper English and they have the same meaning.
2) I am familiar with Spanglish I’m always speaking Spanish but some words like subjects are in English, I went to school in Mexico until the last year in high school and all my family are Mexican for me it’s really difficult having a conversation all in English and my first language is Spanish.
3) In the United States there are many different accents depending on the different discourse community that exist, it does not has nothing to do with the accent it’s the meaning what it matters.
4) This concept implies that exist different types of English and different accents for some people there are incorrect and for some people there are correct; different accents different types of English but all of them has the same meaning. Some of this types can affect the audience but it’s because they are from a different community.
