Unit 12 Differences between L1 and
L2 learning
When checking this unit I leant
thatL1 learning happens outside the classroom
while L2 learning happens in the classroom, L1 learning follow the same process
that we developed to acquire our first language: through exposure, interaction,
doing, etc. L2 learning is quite complicated
specially because of the agesince when
learners are younger they do it in the same as L1, however, for adults it is
difficult due to their cognitive abilities. L2 Teachers need to motivatestudents by using strategies to make students active
in the class. In addition, sometimes it is necessary analyzed learners to know
their learning stylesor expectations
to satisfy them as well as create an atmosphere where learners can use the L2
as much as possible. In a L2 classroom I will use activities like, pair and
group work to encourage learners to become confidentwhen
interacting and praise them if they are children. When teaching to adults I
will use the language functions to provide them opportunities to use the
language as much as possible focusing on form.

ReplyDeleteYour highlighted wordsin this unit are really clear, I consider that the way how you describe the use of this topic in the classroom with our students, I agree with you about the use of these differences in the EFL classroom to acquire a second language. I found that your links have very useful information about this unit.
ReplyDeleteGreat information!
ReplyDeleteI like the way you analyse the difference between the way L2 learners learn a language and the things you consider to take intod account when teaching them. As you say it important to create a good a good class environment where students can use the language all the time.
