language policy on it’s today’s advertisement? Explicate your thoughts by

As described in the book (spolsky 2001), language coverages three

interrelated but independently describable components practices, beliefs,
and management. Children’s language acquisition relies upon in giant
measure on the language practices to which they are exposed. Element in
success beliefs about language are a vital in language rescue, for a shift of
languages regularly depends on the values attributed to competing
varieties. The beliefs that are must sizable to our issues are the values
assigned to the issues and feature. The express and observable effort by
means of anybody authority over of some team that has or claims to have
or the members in the domain to modify their practice beliefs.

In the family domain, efforts with the aid of immigrant mother and father
to maintain their heritage language their youth to examine the now
language or to persuade constitute language management. These
components significant impacts can provide children with knowledge in
language acquisition through the practices to which they are exposed.
Beliefs about the language can either be a challenge or a benefit in
shifting to success in learning the language It can, also be significant, to
adopt. The practices and beliefs of others in a group of people who share
their various practices and beliefs. One of the domains is family members,
and it is called language management if one member encourages others

ASSIGNMENT

Get a whole sheet of yellow paper and write an essay regarding the
importance of the three components of language planning and policy in
relation with our culture and tradition.

In my opinion, the importance of these three components of language

planning and policy in relation to our culture and tradition, such practices,
beliefs, and management, is crucial because they provide the learning to
speak. Linguistic context for all of as who tradition, and environment in
which depending on the culture, the child’s language is exposed and
practiced, a child can learn more about the language. Actually, it can be
all of us who can acquire more knowledge about language, depends also
on how we practice it in our society. Language practices are the methods
that people in a community use in their daily lives to perform the
communication functions of a specific language. They can also choose
which language then will we to expose or hide their identity from others
beliefs about language are the perspective of a person in language that is
being use in a group or society and is part of the tradition and culture It is
being able to maintain and belonging a group, as well as being respected
by other groups in a society that have different beliefs about their
language, culture, and traditions. A natural language is one reasoning
which people reach for the belies that are efficient for a language in a
culture. The beliefs can be identified by the language that is being
expressed and communicated. A language would also be arranged
according to the beliefs of a culture. The last opponent in language
management, which refers to an express and observable effort. By
anybody or over the members in the some group to have authority
domain to change their beliefs and practices about language. It is a
realization group to modify their beliefs and practices.

This is offered as a reprise to Ricentos (2000a) overview of the field, in

which he examined the theoretical and conceptual contributions up to
2000. We review that piece, focusing on the three major epochs that
Ricento identifies, and then examine developments within LPP over the
part decade, including theoretical and empirical contributions from
ethnographies of language policy what difficulties might a child from this
social group have when she/he comes into a classroom of a school in your
community, with teachers from your community would make it easier for
her/him to fit in well in your community school? Write at least 10
statements about the topic on yellow paper

• when a child from a social group enters a classroom in a school in a

community with a teacher also from that community, the child may be
afraid to communicate due to the language that the teacher may use in
discussing. It is passible that a child lacks on confidence does not know
how to pronounce a language, or that she or he delivers language
passage with incorrect grammar.

• The child may also find it easier to fit into the community school if the
teacher is also from the same community, because the teacher can easily
help the child adopt and adjust to the language

• A child may encounter difficulties in some situation particularly when a

teacher is leaching them about a language and suddenly the teacher is
unable to deliver or fails to explain the topic well. The child may not
understand the topic, and a child may be afraid to ark a teacher for
clarification on the under discussion.

• They may have difficulty comprehending vocabulary and pronouncing

come unfamiliar words.

•A child’s lack of writing and reading skills may hinder their listening and
communication abilities in acquiring language
•If a child faces difficulties, the may improve their language learning
because this can be the reason for their ability to construct phrases or
deliver well in a language

•If a teacher and a student have encountered a variety of learning

strategies related to their topics, the child may developed and adopt more
knowledge in communicating with other students.

•By also listening carefully to what the teacher is being taught, the child
may acquire the skills to develop their reading comprehension and
spelling

•The influence of a child’s school environment in community is a big help

for child to acquire knowledge about language, because if a child is
exposed to a different language environment, a child will build come
practice that may help their language acquisition

• with the assistance of a parent, the child may also construct some

Practices Language Planning is divided into three dimensions, namely

status, corpus, and acquisition planning.

Status planning refers to the allocation of new functions to a language. It

also affects the role a language plays within a given society. It also
deliberates effort to allocate the features language and literacies within a
speech community.

Corpus planning is frequently related to the standardization of language,

involving the guidance of a normative or ethnography grammar, and
dictionary for the training of writers and audio system in a speech
community

Corpus planning has to do with developing language system: devising

adapting orthography, coining new terms, adopting loanwords,
establishing the standards of grammatical language use. Although
language planners separate corpus and status planning conceptually, it is
necessary to understand that the two dimensions interact closely with
each the (Covarrubias 1983) Acquisition planning, or language- in-
education Baldauf 2000), is concerned with language teaching and
learning development of school curricula for the language and in the
language, and teaching it to second- language learners.

Status planning deals with the domains of use, and the understanding a
language has within a given society.

The model that spolsky explored entails a wide variety of defined domains
specifically home, legal, religions and school domain

Home domain language beliefs, and their attempts to influence the

practices and beliefs of different individuals of the domestic speech
community are critical. Thus even the family, the presumably simplest
and mast fundamental area for its impact on herbal intergenerational
language transmission, turns out to be open to the nave an impact on of
different domains

As we can observe from our environment men and women has a different
styles when it comes to communicating. A man are more direct while, on
the other hand, women are more expressive and polite in wing language.
Women also elaborate well when communicating. Both men and women
can use different languages, but in different way both men and women
can express themselves in a language, but women are more expressive.

Men and women play different roles at home in terms of language

because of the differences in communication style. The manner in which
women deliver messages or information is very gentle, using polite words
and expressive language. Men on the other hand has more authority
today whatever they want. They are self- assured enough to speak up
directly. But, they do not express their emotions verbally When it comes to
the rotes of men and women at church the relation of this in a language is
that both genders have the right to use a respectful language. A church is
sacred place, especially in the beliefs and culture of Christians. So they
utilize and it must be respected.

In a community, men and women have the ability to use a language that
they have practiced and exposed in their language in a respect
environment, but women usually use respectful manner, because of the
belief that the way they speak will reflection their personality, and how
others will respect language them, particularly men. While women usually
use community the way they talk to others, just like how they talk to their
friends, they are not aware of how they utter and deliver the words
coming out of their mouth. Also, they are not active in socializing like
women.

Students, women and men usually use language in school to

communicate about their studies or school purpose. They use language to
express their thoughts, knowledge, and understanding different
particularly in a classroom when having a discussion on the subjects.
Furthermore, where as teachers may not be the primary cause of gender
role differences, they can have an impact on students through their
response to and decisions made on their behalf.
