The Difficulty of Teaching English“I decided to become a teacher because I thought I could do it better than my teachers. I quickly learned that teaching is not as easy as I thought." Dr. Proser soon learned that teaching English would be as easy as he thought. He may be a better teacher than him, many CHS students would agree, but they also discovered the why it was so difficult to teach English. are many reasons why teaching English is difficult. The first and main reason is the constant change and new words that are introduced into the language classified as slang, these words may become increasingly common. Furthermore, many of the linguistic forms used in the writings read by students are no longer used. Furthermore, the change that has occurred in writing styles makes it difficult for any student to fully understand what each writer is about trying to say. Thousands of new words are introduced into the English language every year. Just a few examples are dude, chic, cool, homes and tubular. “Dude was drawn to a lot of hippies from the sixties. The type has many means, a person someone refers to can be placed in fantastic contexts. When many people talk about a chic one, they are no longer talking about a chick, but about a female that they find attractive in some way. This word also became very popular during the sixties. Houses and tubular is probably the newest of the slang words. The homes are used primarily by gang members and blacks from the South Side. When people say houses they are referring to one of their male friends. Not just a friend, but a male friend who would fight for that person. Tubular is just a new word for awesome or awesome. It means really sweet (high quality of awesome) or awesome. Additionally, words are used in a different context than before. Many new words are created in America. The words sweet and fine have undergone some of the biggest changes in word context. “Sweet no longer means having a sugary or pleasant taste to the senses”. If you asked a teenager what sweetness meant to them, they would probably answer “really nice or great.” “Even the word fine has completely changed in context.
