English Language and The Parts of Speech








One of the most important aspects of life can be accredited to the proper mastering of the English language. When one analyzes the poor communication trends that fill our society, we usually equate such a deterred language people with a poor educational foundation within the Grammar arena. This lack of luster towards mastering the English language can be a result of the methods in which such subject areas are taught.
As teachers we are not only responsible for ensuring that the child can pass an English exam but we should be more concern with, building the child’s educational foundation in any particular subject area. Teachers should also be overly concern with making the educational process a way to stimulate the minds of the child allowing them that opportunity to embrace learning and exploring education in a manner that will facilitate the improvement of the English language within the Trinidad & Tobago’s society.
One such software that can be of much assistance in the fight against poor language mastering would have to be the parts of speech games which can be found at http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/grammar/. This element of education can facilitate many aspects of the learning process. A series of language games, which are designed to aid the student in learning the various parts of speech are all available on the site. Explanations and examples of what particular parts of speech are, are all located on the site. This site generally guides the individual about all the aspects that can be learnt about parts of speech and each respective part of speech has his own heading and proper organization making this site easy to navigate through. Through these games, the basics about the English language can be achieved making this site a corner stone for ones educational success in the English language.
The proper understanding of parts of speech and their uses is an important aspect of the English language which must be fully understood for complete mastery of verbal communication. As a result this concept must be learnt and fully understood at the early entrance into the understanding of the English language. These computer generated games will totally support all aspect of the English language making this a educational tool that I will fully


endorse.

  1. This would be very helpful, as there is a constant battle existing where teachers try to teach proper English to students in the classroom and when they leave the classroom they are bombarded with 'broken' English. Children most likely, are confused and the extra effort is needed to help them understand the English Language. I think this is a welcomed effort to do that and in a fun way students would enjoy.
