Welcome to J.K.'s English Corner!

Greetings Earthlings! 

I am a teacher of English from Argentina. I am currently on my last year at the Teacher Trainning College. It's been a memorable journey so far. I have met a lot of interesting people and I have come across some fascinating facts and information about the English Language which really deserve to be shared with any person from the curious kind. So if you are curious like me, I am sure you will enjoy the information that will be shared on this Blog. 
As for now, I'll leave you with this short video about strage facts aobut the English Language.
 I personally don't agree on the explanation of "crutch words." I think they do add value and meaning to a phrase. What do YOU think? Let me know in the comments!

    Welcome Joaquín!! Excellent way to introduce yourself!! Also, very interesting and amusing video...
    About crutch words, fillers, I believe they do not add much, except for a few cases in which we give them a specific intonation or accompany them with certain body language.

Science in the language field!

Hello everyone! As I commented in my last post, I've been quite busy lately, and things have not changed. But somehow I always have some spare time that I like to spend watching videos on YouTube or reading about interesting things. And what I find most interesting (at least now, since my likes tend to change from time to time) is SCIENCE! Yes, I love science. The understanding of the world that surrounds us by observing and experimenting with it is something astonishing for me. And the results to which you can get by just doing this two things BLOW ME AWAY! I've always been more interested in the fields of physics and astrophysics, but when I entered the teacher training college I was presented with a term which really blew my mind and of which I have never heard before: LINGUISTICS, which is the field that studies Language. And as a teacher of a Language and a very curious person, it was only logical that it was going to catch my attention the way it did...

Is there a Gene for Language?

Imagen
Hello! Today I wanna share with you a video in which experts in many science fields talk about what in known as the "Language Gene". This may come as a surprise to many of us, but there is quite a concensus on the matter that there are genetic traits passed on from one generation to another which may account for the ability to acquire and manipulate language. Well, maybe these fellows can explain it better than I do, so here's the video y'all! I hope you like it, it's quite interesting.
