British vs. American English.... Which One Do You Like????

English is spoken in many countries either as the mother tongue or as a second language. That’s why instead of «English» there are many «Englishes» — variations of the language. In this article I’ll focus on the two mostly commonly used versions of English — British and American English.
Before we take a look at some of the differences between the two main types of English I’d like to stress that these differences are somewhat minor and with the ongoing internationalization of our modern world they could even said to be diminishing.
The few differences that exist between British and American English tend rather to enrich communication than slow it down.
Although not all my British readers might agree, I think that the American version of spoken English is becoming more and more dominant for several reasons. Let me give you an example to show you why American English has a stronger impact on British English than vice versa.
When you go to the UK and switch on the TV you will see a lot of American shows, movies and films which, of course, are shown in the original, American version. Thus, especially young people watching TV will learn a lot of American vocabulary and phrases which they easily internalize and use as their own. It follows, modern British English is much more likely to be influenced by American English than the other way round because when you live in the US and watch TV you rarely will see a British show or film.
Another area where US English dominates is international business. Most globally operating companies are based in the US and hence the influence of American English terminology is very strong.
However, as with any issue, the more you think about it, the more variations you will encounter and it would be impossible to cover them all in one article.
That’s why we’ll move on now to the differences between British and American English. Instead of giving you a comprehensive rundown of all imaginable items I’ll limit myself to a small selection of my personal observations.

EVALUATION PROCESS

Through this learning process we have seen many web sites which have helped us in several ways. We now have the ability to teach english but in an interactive way by carrying out some activities that encourage learners to improve themselves.
This is what i really have enjoyed a lot because in can also interact to improve my abilitites. For example, there are many web sites that emphasize on grammar so that, we can lead students how to write english sentences properly. Also there are web sites that works with songs and students can improve their listening abilities.
While students learn how to apply their strategies to learn something, they develop the ability they are required to use.
Despite many web-sites lack of activities, we can see students motivated to learn more.
So as you can see here, students can develop their abilties (Writting, Reading, Listening, Speaking) by visiting web pages such as www.lirics.com, www.saberingles.com, www.mtv.com or www.eslcafe.com.
Furthermore, we can find different tools such as text books, listening activities, chats, debates, etc, that motivate students to work interactively.
I like the way have been working because we have interacted a lot in an iteresting way. I have learnt different expresions and i have developed my skills.
