Question: How does understanding language as an integrative and communicative system help us better understand the needs of our English Language Learners? Thanks to the variety of forces that influenced the development of the English language over the course of the past 1,500 years, ELs are faced with learning a language that is rich and complex but is also characterized by numerous "exceptions to the rules." If you could simplify the English language, what would be one aspect of the language that is at the top of your list? Explain your choice. Explain how language is a communicative and integrative system and then discuss how variations in phonology across dialects and speech patterns could affect the development of phonemic awareness. Please provide at least three examples.
