PRACTISE ENGLISH ON OUR BLOG

Literacy starts in the home

You may not have noticed but the reports on this blog spot have been written in simplified English for the benefit of readers of English as a second language.

The focus has always been on the people living in the developing countries who need basic health knowledge and basic practice in English.

It is hoped that there will always be someone who can download the reports. Not every village has a computer and printer.

My daughters have been able to read the reports for the last 4 years so the English is quite readable for people learning the language. They are now 14 and 13 years old.

I have spent half a lifetime in writing simplified English particularly in Papua New Guinea where so many people have only basic understanding.

In 1992, I attended a course from Cambridge University conducted by Holmes College in Melbourne. I learned the basics of Teaching English as a Foreign language. That was the beginning of my role in promoting English skill in Papua New Guinea.

Each report on this blog spot is written mainly in simple sentences. So the meaning is immediately apparent to the reader.

I would like to report on the situation in Papua New Guinea. There is a problem with the breakdown of coral. There are several factors. The first is the erosion caused by over-fishing. Then there is the effect of global warming.

I have several friends in this country who read the blog spot daily. They do so mainly to practise their English. They say their English comprehension has improved in the years of reading our two websites.

Parents may find the reports useful for their children to read and practise their language comprehension. There are reports on the blog spot that deal with aspects of sex that may not be suitable for young people.

If I were conducting a class of students, I would start with the simple sentences to promote the various structures. Then I would move on to teaching students to combine simple sentences into complex sentences with addition of phrases and clauses.

I looked out the window.
I saw a ship.
It was on the horizon

I looked out the window and saw a ship on the horizon.

For many years, I have promoted the skills of converting simple sentences into more complex sentences to remove what I call baby talk. I teach the students to write what I call Sweet English.

FAMILY POSITIVE LIVING - AIDS HOLISTICS: WRITE SWEET ENGLISH

Guinea schools, .... Posted by HIV/AIDS: FAMILY POSITIVE LIVING at 18:55 ...

A problem in learning English is first to understand the words and the meanings. Most important is the ability to explain an idea in one’s own words. So many students lack this ability and are unable to explain an idea in an essay or on an exam paper.

This is a major problem with all people learning a foreign language. We would have the same problems in learning and using Chinese or German to explain and analyze ideas.

It is easy to speak and ask questions in a foreign language. The difficulty comes in analyzing ideas in that language and producing a plan.

But let us go back to the start. Teachers find that the difficult task in teaching a foreign language is to make a start. I have spent half my life teaching Tok Pisin.

There are basic tasks in teaching a foreign language. The first task is to have the learner listen and understand basic stories or conversation.

The next task is to ask questions on what was said and have the students respond. Then the learner puts the responses together into a short story. The final more difficult task is to have the learner ask the questions.

My name is John. I am 23 years old. I live in Port Moresby. My father works in the city. My mother stays at home. She looks after my brothers and sisters. I have two brothers and one sister. We go to school near our village.

What is my name?
How old am I?
Where do I live?
Where does my father work?
Where does my mother stay?
Whom does she look after?
How many brothers do I have?
How many sisters do I have?
Where do we go to school?

If the teacher put together 80 stories like this and covered 500 new words and 20 question types, the students would have learned basic English.

As the stories become more complex with complex sentence structure and abstract words and forms of words, the students are moving through the language.

HIGH RENT IN PORT MORESBY

Post Courier 22 August 2011   "Houseless".

The rental rates of real estate and property owners are very high. The minimum rate currently available is around K500 a week to K5000 a week the highest. You get a single room for K300 a week.

Many senior public servants and company employees cannot afford this rate with their allowances. If they risk it, they will have no food on the table. This is not to mention the majority of middle class workers.

The housing situation gives rise to social and urban problems. I urge the Government to:

(1) regulate the rental fees set by real estate and property owners to an affordable rate,

(2) review and increase the housing allowance for public servants

(3) direct or propose to Ministers to institute a housing scheme for public servants,

(4) make land available to public servants to apply for and start building,

(5) encourage banking loans for housing.

COMMENT:  The housing situation is so bad that senior workers in Government and business are living in squatter settlements. Even there the rent for a single bush timber room is increasingly high.

Life is not good for families in squatter settlements. The houses are of poor quality. Security is low. There is no water laid on but a single water point often for hundreds of people. Toilets have to be dug.

There is a line up for filling containers of water much like the line at the Bank South Pacific. These are illegal connections that cause Eda Ranu to come to cut the water from time to time.

Parents find difficulties with families of children coming as strangers into a squatter settlement. There is a crime rate among the people living there that comes from poverty.

There is a squatter settlement at Erima on the ridge line above the statue of the Bird of Paradise. Every weekend we hear the loud sounds coming from the church services of the settlement.

The houses outside the border of the settlement up along Kanage Street are now fenced with iron sheeting often with razor wire. The levels of security have been strengthened.

Settlement people could once cut down to the road through house yards. Now it is all blocked. Too many raskols used the tracks to steal and escape from the police.

The people are becoming broken up into us and them. Unfortunately in the squatter settlements, the us and them are all in together.

It is not a good feeling for a family man and his wife to feel they are going down in life as they approach old age. They have no land in the village and have to stay in the urban area with their children who will not be wage earners as they are unable to go to school.

The editorial of the Post Courier wrote about families squandering money and having to face the responsibility of paying school fees. Many people squander their money on rent that they still can not afford.

Yet the people of this settlement can look over to the freeway to watch long lines of hundreds of top line vehicles waiting in long lines to Erima roundabout to head up the Magi Highway. So that is where LNG and other sources of money have ended up.

It throws a new light on the massive misappropriation of funds in Government and business. This is not to justify. But we have to understand that some people have set up their own self help schemes. It is the quick and the dead.

Some are in poverty and just want their families to survive. Some are rich and just want to be very rich with all the trappings. PNG has no unemployment benefits. Some workers have no superannuation.

Point to ponder:  A single room costs K300 a week. That is K600 a fortnight. Many workers receive K120 a fortnight. Food for the family and school fees are not possible.

There is no choice but to stay with other family or live in a squatter settlement. Parents must feel that their family is going downhill fast.

UNI STUDENTS LACK READING SKILLS

Post Courier 22 August 2011 Caldron Laepa

Those who cheat win. That is the PNG way.

Students at university level often fail their courses or produce poor results because they lack the skills of reading and understanding what is written.

This is according to the University of Papua New Guinea English Communications Strand senior tutor Johnson Kalu when presenting a research paper in improving language classes for students.

He said that reading, writing and listening are all inter-related.  Reading helps develop constructive thinking and presentation of views because books are written in a way where ideas are concise and orderly for people to understand.

Students fail not because they are not bright but because they do not understand what they are learning. They lack the skills of listening which can develop from reading.

Students come to university from secondary school with the problem of applying correct English skills.

Mr Kalu said that at UPNG students are given English enrichment to help them. However he said that it would be effective if the lessons were taught based on the specific areas of study. Mr Kalu said there were not enough qualified lecturers to teach English for targeted courses.

It was improper to get a secondary school English teacher graduated with a major in Education to be teaching English at university because teaching university students is different to teaching high school students.

COMMENT: There are several issues that come from this report. A basic problem is the attitude of all students to study. Most do not study to gain knowledge. They do not read and know little about the world.

They are not prepared to study Biology or Economics or whatever subject as they have not read books. The empty school libraries have not helped.

All universities in Australia have special classes for overseas students to lift their English language levels and learn the special technical words related to the subject they are to study.

Perhaps the lecturers at UPNG are too lazy to supply their lists of special technical words to the English language teacher. They would say that only the lecturer knows the meaning. So the students never learn.

A major problem for overseas university students is that they attend classes in Australian universities. The time comes to complete the assignments. The trouble is that they have to go to the library and read reference books which they can not do.

If they find the reference books, they face another problem. They have had no experience in writing ideas in their own words. So they copy the words straight from the reference books to their essays.

This is called plagiarism and the students will be penalized by having the mark for the assignment cancelled. But they have been plagiarizing all their school lives from primary school.

They copy the summaries from the blackboard. They copy from books and get good marks. Then they fail in overseas universities.

Mr Kalu talked about secondary teachers being unable to teach as university lecturers teach. That is true. Most do it better. University lecturers often think they are being educated and clever by not teaching the concepts. That is not just unprofessional but lazy.

Students leave their studies without understanding. The lecturers take pride in the view that they do not teach. They lecture. Lazy bums.

The problem gets worse with Outcome Based Education (OBE). Students will plagiarize all their assignments from the millions of kina worth of library books donated. They will go to university unable to read and write. Understand will be a dream.

I worked as a teacher of Grades 11 and 12 at a PNG college a few years ago. They used the study material from the UPNG Distance Education that never changed year in year out.

I knew that most students were cheating by submitting the work from their brothers, sisters and cousins from the years before. One  assignment from  an individual student would have a  different handwriting from the next assignment handed in.  They were cheating their way to university.

Cheating in high schools  will be the standard way to get through Outcome Based Education (OBE). They will plagiarize and get top marks as the teachers have not bothered  to familiarize with the library books available. The standard at university  will drop even  further.   

NO NEED TO DIE ON KOKODA TRACK

It is time to change the subject. One of the key aspects of Positive Living is regular daily exercise. Young men and women and older ones can jog, play netball or basketball, touch football, tennis or squash.

As we get older, our exercise needs to be a little more gentle and sedate. Older men and women can ride a bicycle in the part or go for long walks.

One exercise regime that is becoming popular is trekking with the Kokoda Track leading the field. It is an arduous trek over 96 kms of steep mountains and equally steep slopes.

Over recent years, there have been deaths on the track through heart attack and dehydration. Trekkers can lessen the chances of death by taking care.

Adequate preparation is needed before the trek. A doctor’s examination is needed. On the track, the trekkers should move carefully without overstretching the body resources.

Take care on the steep slopes. Drink plenty of clean creek water. Take a certain amount of salts. Do not think it is a race where there is a prize for coming first. There is no prize for lying dead in a helicopter extraction.

As well as the blog Family Positive Living, I have another blog Briefings for Kokoda Trekkers. Please do the right thing by your family and take the right precautions if you plan to trek Kokoda.

There have been many families trek. Brothers and sons in law have trekked. So too a man with his daughter in law. It is good to travel with a buddy or two. Travelling in a football team is even better.

PAEDOPHILIA DESTROYING CATHOLICISM

How long has the Catholic clergy been sexually abusing the boys and girls? Does the paedophile tradition go back hundreds of years? This is an era when we would hope that the churches stand firm against the forces arrayed.

There is now a force against the Christian churches seeking to destroy credibility so that the kids can be advised to reject faith.

The gay and lesbian movement wants to discredit the Bible that prohibits fornication, adultery and homosexual perversion. They want to show young people that Scripture is wrong and out-of-date.

There once was a rock of faith based on the Catholic church. The pope was infallible.

Now we have people protesting against the inactivity of the present pope on the matter of paedophile priests. He does not seem to be too infallible. The pope is dropping to become just like any other political figure.

The world seems to have thousands of paedophile priests who have not yet been called to account. Every country seems to have a tradition of priestly paedophilia, even Papua New Guinea. Try De Salle College in decades past.

Who is to stand up for priests as holy men? There was a time when priests were the final authority in a parish. Let us ask father. What do you wish father? But now, is our priest paedophile? Any priest who was Chaplain to an orphanage is suspect.

If the gay and lesbian movement overruns our world nation by nation, who will stand against them? The Catholic church will probably spend all its time hiding under the bed with the Anglican church.

If I were a gay or lesbian strategist, I would flood the Catholic church and media with complaints on paedophilia real and false. It may be happening now. And the church has only itself to blame. The church will be bankrupted by compensation claims.

As for the pope, he will be too busy for the rest of his life fielding complaints of the world about paedophile clergy. He will never go out on the offensive but remain defensive. His successors will be the same. But the church will slowly lose all their paedophile priests through old age and death. Who will replace them?

The Church has always safeguarded the sanctity of marriage, prohibition on adultery, divorce, contraception, abortion and euthanasia. Every paedophile priest is an adulterer, fornicator and homosexual pervert in terms of Scripture. Who will want to listen to priestly homilies on love and family?

The pontiff has to fear being swamped during every overseas visit with protesters about some aspect of Catholic shortcomings. He will end up barricading himself in St Peters Rome.

We have problems with other churches too. The Church of England has a gay tradition that comes from generations of upper class boys spending their childhood and adolescence in boarding schools and the beds of their class mates.

The Anglican church in the United States goes under the name of the Episcopalian church. It has a schism caused by the gays and lesbians taking control of dioceses.

The problem arises with gay priests who served for years as long as they kept quiet about their sexuality. What happens when they speak out and justify their sexuality? If elevated to bishop, what happens when they ordain gay priests? They have come out of the closet because they no longer accept that homosexuality is a sin.

It may be that the moral safeguards to faith have to be held by the smaller fundamentalist national churches that still maintain purity of purpose and loyalty to the word of God.

The Catholic church is going into self-destruct. At a time when the enemies are gathering at the gate, the church is crumbling under the weight of its own sexual corruption.

And the average age of the priests would be about 75 years old. The “me first” generation and the generation before do not want to be priests. Who will take the reins of the church in the decades to come?

The gays and lesbians now have the opportunity to tell the boys and girls that Scripture is rubbish, a collection of fairy stories and total hypocrisy. They can say that the church is not a refuge any more. It has been killed by their friends the paedophiles.

In the Middle Ages and before, there were women in European villages who were the herbalists and mid-wives. They were village leaders. Many hundreds of thousands were burned at the stake for being witches, usually at the instigation of the priest. The trick is to kill the village leader.

But in Ireland in the last 600 years, the British put a bounty on the heads of Catholic priests as if they were wild dogs. They were often hung, drawn and quartered. The trick is to kill the village leader.

Last weekend, a Youth Day celebration in Europe was attended by hundreds of Catholic young people.The Pope attended and was welcomed. The saving grace of the Catholic church will be the holy priests, nuns and youth. They will carry the church through this crisis time.

Paedophile priests know now that they can not act with impunity. They may well end up in gaol as is now happening. The criminal priests are responsible for ruined lives as well as suicides. Bastards. They confuse the extent of their authority.

Strategy of gays / lesbians in Papua New Guinea will be:

(a)  pressure churches with UN and AusAID funding;

(b) legislate on decriminalizing homosexual sex and sex workers;

(c) infiltrate churches as church council, parishioners and clergy;

(d) infiltrate churches with clergy on Marriage Act committee;

(e) seek a committee recommendation on single-sex marriage;

(f) take marriage role in Civil Registry;

(g) support the Greens Party;

(h) have gay and lesbian members of parliament;

(i) pressure existing members of parliament; and

(j) pass gay and lesbian legislation.
