Example:

The man in the picture is Noam Chomsky, He is a very well known and widely respected Language Scientist. He is american and all his life, he has done research in the areas of Grammar and Language Development among others.
At the core of his theory there is the thought that the structures of language are not mere ordering of words in that there are principles underlying the structrure of languge biologically determined in the mind and he thinks they are, therefore, genetically transmitted, in other words, since we come to life as humans, we come with the capability for language development.
He changed my perspectives of why people learn a language, of how people learn it and how can that proces be reproduced in further stages of life such as "learning" a laguange as an adult or as he says, "acquiring" a foreign language in later stages and contexts of a lifetime.
He is considered the Father of Modern Linguistics and because of his extensive research, many new methodologies to language study, and also many new areas have opened up, an example is the applications of his language theory into Neuroscience and IT, and even today he keeps on opening up new ares of thought mixing his theories with Discourse and particularly Public Discourse Critical Analysis, and needless say, he is a must-study for every linguistics or language-related-area-student.

    Very interesting, normally the studies of grammar and language in general aren't considered as important as other sciences and that is very unfair

    What a great job Chomsky’s, I didn’t know him. The study of language is extremely important, because it is an evolutionary advantage that we have as humans

    They say that intelligence is actually the ability to use language, Chomsky opens up barriers to that, a big one.

    language and communications should be considered a science as important as the others, it's good that Chomsky understood it that way

Post 9 :  A Subject you've enjoyed studying this semester Write about your favorite subject this term. Among others, include: > Name > Describe what you do in classes > Mention the main contents you have seen > Explain why you like the subject > Word Count: 190 > Make comments on 3 of your patners' posts and on your Teacher's. As a child, I really liked studying but I honestly disliked going to school because I felt I couldn't learn much and I used to see the institution with remorse for being more than a school, a jail to me. I also disliked the type of things we had to learn, but all in all, I started to really enjoy a class where we had to use tools to build pieces of furniture, small robotic devices, etc.  The class does not exist in the school system anymore, it was called "Técnico Manual" I remember the biggest challenge when I decided to work with metal and welding tools. It was just great! I could s...

Post 4 Dear all: today is a free topic, we will start with Childhood Series. You have to structure a text telling us about the programmes you used to watch, as a child.   - Comment on your teacher's post and also make a comment on 3 of your classmates' posts - Word Count for this post : 140 words   Example: Childhood Series Believe it or not, when I was a child there weren't many series on TV, besides, I used to live in the 8th region, in a lost town in the middle of nowhere and we did not receive much technology nor state of the art cinema, theatre, cultural venues, etc. It was the late 80's and national TV was the only option available, and consequently, the very limited programming they offered and the series that you could see were quite classical, the typical Disney style, with Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse and my favourite: Goofy. I cannot tell you that I really remember their adventures on screen, because I was less than 5 years old, bu...
