Native Proficiency
 



    On Monday, we have an online class and we’re talking about “Native Proficiency”. As we know, English has many accents such as : American Accents, British Accents, Australian Accents, Irish Accents, etc. It always amazes me how many different accents there are in quite a small country/ies. They can change in a matter of a mile or two. The US is quite large and we do have many accents but I feel that the difference is actually much more in Britain. Most Brits can do a Boston/New York/Texas accent. I would be hard pressed to distinguish different British accents.

    As an English Education student, I always use American Accents to communicate with each other. Because, in my opinion, American Accents is easier than other accents. American accents can be more understanding even though we’re not a native speakers. But if I should choose between those accents, I prefer to choose the british accents. When I was in the high school, I watched “Harry Potter” and turned out i really love Hermione’s accents which is a British Accents. Also, i watched “Enola Holmes” because the main character use a british accents too. I love the way Hermione and Enola say every words with their british accents. In my opinion, it sounds more interesting and sexy when you’re talking used british. British accents is special. Not only in different pronouncing separate letters, but also in intonation. I just adore it.

                                                     

    To be honest, an accents isn’t a big deal for people who wants to learn English because an accents will come naturally. Accents isn't an issue unless it prevents your listeners from understanding your spoken English. Each accents has their strength and weakness. For me, American accents is quite simple and understanding to non-native speaker. But the british accents, its interesting but its pretty hard to understanding to non-native speaker. I would like to be able to practice my british accents and right now I’m working hard on every part in the process to learn the British Accents but one of my biggest challenges is absolutely pronunciation. But, it's great to learn something new and makes me want to practice more.

In writing, there are so many ways and strategies that we come across so that our writing has quality. Many experts share their writing experiences and they have different writing strategies for each person. Therefore, before writing, we must know what strategies are suitable for us so that we can write well. Many people emphasize making a plan before writing, but some experts do not recommend this strategy because writing usually just flows. Even when we are writing, sometimes we lose ideas in the middle of the road so that the next writing will be different from the first plan when we wanted to write.

We learn and talk about many things. First is the introduction about Academic Writing. Academic writing is arguably the most important skill in academic contexts, since writing is the main method of academic communication. It is also the most difficult skill for most students to master. Academic writing is writing which communicates ideas, information and research to the wider academic community. It can be divided into two types: student academic writing, which is used as a form of assessment at university, as well as at schools as preparation for university study; and expert academic writing, which is writing that is intended for publication in an academic journal or book.     Also, we learn about 7 steps to success there are : Analyse, Brainstorm, Res
