LEARNING:PROCESSING WORDS AND NUMBERS

C-PROGRAMMING: IT IS GOING TO WORK IF YOU WORK HARD
This is a simple way of learning English for people who have a language disability.
C programming as the remedy for learners with difficulties to process words and numbers?
This is still a theory but becomes more and more a reality to use his or her own
programming skills to learn better English as a second language. The program does not have to
be fancy or include all options as a C programming expert would do. This method is to represent
a structure and method which is to be self-explanatory for the mind of a person with difficulties
to process words and numbers.
The program is to be a new approach where a person with the will to learn can practice its language acquisition
understanding. I call this program The Rasberry. One rasberry seed creates many rasberry seeds which
contain information to grow another rasberry at the end. The difference in this program is
that each "seed" can contain a different context although all "rasberry seeds" look alike.
This has to be seen relatively because rasberries did not always look like rasberries as
we know them in the present time. We simply move backward and forward in "time" by altering
context in a rasberry seed. In other words, the space of a rasberry seed
is always similar or the same but we can move its location in "time" by typing different content in it.
The mathematician might now say: "Hey dude, you just created a rasberry time machine !"
Perhaps he or she might be right but it is not quite right because we are far too small or
too big (or too uncertain in relation to time and space) to see the difference or consequences from
an absolute level. This is only reserved to the almighty or creator or God.
An example of a part of a C program represents an input and output procedures for characters (words).
While "getchar" request the user to type a character or word, the "putchar" assembles the bits and bytes
on the output screen in the same fashion as he or she typed it.
...
int c; while ((c = getchar()) != EOF) putchar(c);
...
What does this mean to a learner? Obviously, something happen behind our
visible world other than we usually know. There is some mysterious about this computer language where
words disappear and mysteriously appear again just by executing a line of commands, operators, and variables.
Consequently it will initiate the curiousity in a learner's mind such as to find out how this works. It is also
a great experience to see the results when a learner write his or her own simple C-program and sees the results
over and over again when he or she frequently adapts it with new data.
Where does my conclusions come from? The answer is simple. Educators and scholars have noticed in various
ways that a learner with difficulties to process words and numbers is far slower than his or her fellow students.
This is a big problem in a world where everything has to go fast with a limited time frame for detailed questions.
Thus I ask the learner to develop his or her own model or explanation of how characters and words are processed
in his or her mind. In other words The Rasberry program is to be a "vehicle" which gives the student
a "stability" or a "flexible structure" as a self-explanatory word processing act in his or her mind. Lets say a
helpful model or application which, of course, does not reflect the spiritual or molecular chemistry of our
minds in all its complexity.
For my son and his friends..
