Die englische Sprache - Sprachstile unterschiedlicher Kulturen im Vergleich (eBook)

Facharbeit (Schule) aus dem Jahr 2004 im Fachbereich Didaktik - Englisch - Pädagogik, Sprachwissenschaft, Note: 2, Runge-Gymnasium Wolgast, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In English lessons, I am not as good as I want to be. For example in class tests I have not the time that I need to look carefully enough after my grammar and spelling, because I am concentrating on the content. Unfortunately, my language is sometimes very confusing and so the context does not make sense. Due to that, I wanted to write my paper in English, because I hope to improve my language a little bit and maybe my mark as well. I got most of my information from the internet. I know that sometimes internet pages are not reliable. Therefore, I looked for one topic/section (for example for: South African English) at least at two other sites to be sure, that I have correct information. But there are not many pages in German, so I also searched the English internet, where I then found enough information. That brought about much work, because I had to translate the texts into German to understand the sense. Another problem was that I did not want to copy sentences. So I made short notes which I then transformed back into sentences. Although the work was hard, it was interesting to learn something about the history of Great Britain, North America, Australia and South Africa in detail and also about the characteristic features of their languages.
