• Analyze possible linguistic implications of Spanish language interference while making use of the superlatives and comparatives forms in a class of English learners as a foreign language at the “Educación Continua” program at Paraíso branch. 3.2. Specifics Objectives • To evaluate a group of nonnative-English learners to see whether they are capable to identify and orally produce the comparatives and superlatives forms of English language. • To recognize some linguistic errors and mistakes that
Language is something that all of us humans share in common even though they are different. And it’s the best way to communicate with each other whether by spoken words or sign language. Also, it’s not only about talking it also means that the person must know the words and recognize the sounds and understand the grammar rules. There are differences between learning language and acquiring it. When children acquire their first language they acquire it naturally all along while they’re growing up through
disconcerting. These theories, although generally valid, do not account for those learners unaccustomed to the American model of primary, secondary, and postsecondary/adult education that oftentimes employs dialectical learning methods. Many English language learners, especially adults, might have had an educational experience founded on what Paulo Freire names the "banking model," where the teacher serves as sole authority while students are the empty vessels who require deposits of knowledge. Although
a foreign language (EFL) occur, it tends to be difficult to help students to use the language and interact in scenarios other than the classroom. Atkinson, D. (2002), in his book The Modern Language Journal, analyses an approach to second language. Meanwhile, Culhane, S. F. and Umeda, Ch. (2004), examines Authentic Second Language Interaction in an Instructional Setting: Assessing an Inter-class Exchange Programme. RELC and Larsen-Freeman, D. (2007) recontextualizes language acquisition Nonetheless
all, on the level of the phoneme inventories: contrastive analysis predicts that French learners will have problems with sounds that are not found in their own language; French Speakers are unaccustomed to the sounds found in these words: that, sing. hitch, etc. and find these sounds difficult no matter where they appear in a word. Second of all, on the level of the syllable structure: Contrastive analysis predicts that: (1) French speakers find it challenging to pronounce words or syllables ending
Second language acquisition is the chapter I am interested in. In this chapter, there are many main points. Firstly, I know the meaning of some words such as second language learning, acquisition and learning as well as I know that there are many barriers when we learn the second language. Secondly, the chapter helps me understand and know some factords which affect the second language learning. They are students’ embarrassment, dull textbooks, unpleasant classroom surrounding, an exhausting schedule
skill and a unique asset in the process of learning a second language. Both aspect of writing are important in the typical language class, and both can serve to reinforce the other (Chastain, 1988). Writing may not be the goals of all language courses. Writing is one of the four language skills taught in language courses. In composition courses the emphasis is primarily on writing as communication, although increased knowledge of the language system is one of the by- products of writing to express
to the Hypothesis, for L2 acquisition to take place, the learner must be exposed to comprehensible input. In other words, Krashen answers the question about what mechanisms exist to allow learners to acquire a second language. He reaches a conclusion, stating that learners can achieve acquisition “by understanding messages, or by receiving comprehensible input.” Furthermore, the input must contain language structures which are at a higher level than the learner’s language is. Krashen calls this “i+1”
the world? Where can we use it and for what age groups is this approach suitable? How can TPR enhance the second language learning experience of young learners? We ask the question if TPR is a useful way to learn vocabulary and idiomatic terms. Lastly we will look at some examples to see how TPR is used in the second language-learning classroom.

stated that, at the beginning of twenty-first century English language learning and English language teaching have become the center of attention in comparison to the twentieth century. As Crystal (1997) indicated "English language today has a special status in at least 70 or so countries and is most widely taught foreign language in over 100 other countries" (p.109). According to Selcuk (2009) these days, owing to the fact that English language includes various disciplines ranging from technology to the
