Unit 12. Differences between L1 and L2
In this Unit I learned the differences between the L1 and
L2, in the way of knew that language acquisition involves Age, and Context and
ways of Learning with a correct exposure and interaction in a successful process.
First, the
acquisition of a second language has a lot of implications, in this case we
need to concentrate in the manage of Spanish and English as part of the
learning process into the classroom, in this section is important know that the
age create a big influence into the acquisition, and for teacher is necessary look
for e the terms, materials, and organized activities that help them to get the attention
and address their needs. In addition, realia plays an important role for learning,
because pictures, flashcards, images, help to improve their knowledge.
Second, the
verbal expression, as part of needs when learners are acquiring a second
language, here is important to keep in mind that the process of mother tongue,
selecting words, are not familiar with the new certain words or concepts into L2,
for this reason is important cultivate the confidence
into the developmental and contextual vocabulary part, to avoid confusion in
the meaning of the messages. In this part focusing on the form in the language
with a concrete, abstract and specific way to communicate with the precise Learner´s the style and
the Learner´s expectations.
Finally,
during this learning stage learners should be active, with a good Teacher´s creativity
too. Also activities are contributing with the
improvement of the learning process,
teacher needs to create simplified and useful language, this avoid in an enormous part the silent period, especially with adults, because for them are
difficult pick the language and get experience with it.
