Language | Non-language | Preference |
---|---|---|
Some language teachers are strict about the form. Most focus on both form and content. | Non-language teachers focus more on correct answer | I prefer writing in non-language because I will not worry on the correct structure of my essay |
Since the grammar and spelling are important in language, they focus on form | In non-language, understanding of the lesson is more important | I like teachers to correct my essay, grammar, spelling |
corrects spelling, punctuation, word choice and grammar | questions thoughts on that topic | I appreciate feedback on form but I prefer comments of non-language because I care more on the idea |
focus more on grammar, spelling, scan through organization, and check content. | focus less on spelling and grammar; more on researched ideas | both teachers should remember that grade should relate more about the subject |
Language teachers tend to be writing perfectionists | Non-Language also consider spelling of certain terms but not too particular on spelling of common words | I prefer feedback of non-language because I can freely express my thoughts |
concentrates more in grammar and spelling | gives consideration on spelling and grammar and concentrates more on content | I prefer feedback from non-language because I often misspell words and sometimes get mixed up with grammar which hinders me from making good essay |
Most Language teachers tend to focus more on how sentences are constructed to determine students’ grammar proficiency | Non-Language teachers tend to stick to their given topic disregarding most of the time proper grammar because the words carry vital information for the course | I prefer that teachers judge papers for the content not how they write because not all students have mastered the English language. Personally, I prefer that teachers be meticulous in grammar to allow each student to improve in their writing skills. |
Language profs tend to be overly critical about grammar, e.g. tense, spelling, form outweighs content | Tend to review the content and overall projection of the writer’s idea | Writing assessment is effective if profs provide feedback, however, students do not want to see corrections most of the time because frankly, it makes us feel stupid. |
