American English School / 美国英语学校 / 미국영어학원, Saipan, CNMI, USA Former Language school in Saipan, Northern Mariana Islands, permanently closed as of August 2022. PRIVATE LESSONS allow students a great deal of flexibility.

Class time per week can be as little as one hour or as much as the student requires, within the availability of the teacher. Whether to use books or not and which books to use -- or to let the teacher decide -- is basically at the discretion of the student (or parent, as may be the case with children). Contact Winston Posegate to inquire about private lessons and to make an appointment. BOOKS: Students may have the option of either purchasing new or used books from Winston or using books they have bought or borrowed elsewhere. American English School (AES) offers language lessons and tutoring to people of all ages and backgrounds (regardless of immigration status). We provide private lessons (one-on-one or in small groups) at all levels of English -- from basic literacy level to advanced -- as well as private lessons in Mandarin Chinese. (Until March 2019, English classes were held for larger groups, as well.) Currently, lessons can be held in Lower Navy Hill, or at the students' residence for an extra fee. (Until March 2019, virtually all group and private lessons were held at the former location of AES on Beach Road in Chalan Piao.) In past years, GROUP CLASSES at AES were designed mainly for adults and teenagers. Most of the group classes taught general English (covering all language skills), mainly for day-to-day, real-world communication, while test-preparation group classes were also arranged as needed. Group classes met for four to six hours per week. Classes were normally scheduled for two hours each time, two or three times a week, e.g., Monday/Wednesday/Friday or Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday. Different classes were available in the morning, afternoon, and evening. Classes (and appointments) were not regularly scheduled on Sundays. In 2020-2021, Winston is not currently offering large group classes, but contact him to inquire about English or Mandarin Chinese lessons for small private groups or individuals.

"For a population to develop its own variety of language, there has to be some kind of apartness. Whenever people are apart, they diverge culturally and linguistically." Linguist Arthur Spears was talking about how Black English, the variety of English particular to African Americans, developed through isolation from other peoples. He was also referring to language variation in general. Throughout the world, every individual's language is a reflection of a unique history of interactions with other people, especially during childhood, when the language environment tends to be created by one's own family and community members.

TALKING BLACK in AMERICA follows the unique circumstances of the descendants of American slaves and their incredible impact on American life and language. Sp...

"Of all the modern sports [called] football, rugby is probably the closest to the pre-19th century game which was called football.

"Both rugby football and association football were known as football in the late 19th century. Association Football was shortened to assoc, and given the way of speaking at the time, ruby was colloquially called rugger, and assoc was called assoccer, which was later shortened to soccer.

"Soccer is still what the game is called today in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and much of the Pacific. Yes, the term actually has a British origin, even though it is almost exclusively used outside the country now."

The word "y'all" (a plural pronoun that combines "you" and "all"), traditionally associated with the dialects of the Southern U.S., can be traced back for centuries, and through migration and popular culture, its use has expanded far beyond the South and even overseas.
