Second Language Acquisition

 Today We were checking  SLA ( Second Language Acquisition) where we knew some terms which are useful to the teaching to our students:


I chose 3 concepts of SLA, and these are: 

1) Insufficient time: The time is very important if we want that our students learn, sometimes It's not enough, besides we have to realize the learners pay attention but maybe they don't learn the rules grammatically and they ask themselves: Why are we learning english? Which is the purpose of this class?, We as future teachers we have to motivate to them so the time is primordial to carry it out, in many schools the schedule use to be very short (i.e reduced time)  which can affect the teacher and students both.




2) Affective Factors: This aspect is very important to treat because the students use to pay attention when the class seems to be interesting for them, we don't only give them knowledge, but also we give moral values and emotional values, but we have to take into account we can't teach if they don't want to learn, it depends on themselves. 
It's very important we consider in "Affective Factors" there are many students in the class and each of them are MORE WILLING and MORE EMBARRED than another. I condider it depends on 3 aspects: 


- Environment: It refers to according to the place where the child was born and have been taught. For instance, a child who lives in a city knows how to use a computer but a child who lives in a countryside doesn't . It doesn't mean that the child who lives in a town is more intelligent than another the child, but each of them develop their own skills and different types of learning. 




- Child-Battering: If a father or mother hit and behave violently towards his/her child phycally or psychologically, without a doubt it affects his/her personality.




-Hereditary Factors:  It means if a child is born and he/she has some problems such as congenutal defect so that he/she can't develop his/her capacity to the full.






3) Grammar translation: The Translation in several texts can be extremely complex but there are many people who work with a lot of grammar rules and techniques with the purpose of traslate masterpiece.



Well That's all what I took into account, I'll be very honest, I still have some problems because I'm not so expert to use the blog but anyway I'll do my best and I'll work hard. Goodbye Folks!!
