Advantages Of Teaching English As A Foreign Language

Since we are teaching children the standard form of English, it is necessary that all primary teaching is in that form, however, society needs to understand that every child comes from a different background; a child may have grown up using a different form of English or even an entirely different language. Coming from an individual that grew up speaking a different language at home, it is difficult for students like us to make certain connections that children who grew up speaking the standard can make easily. We have a tougher time with seemingly simple concepts because our dialects/languages do not adhere to the same rules that the standard does. Although we have one unifying goal of educating the young in Standard English, all teaching should be based on the child’s background and try to use that to help them learn better and faster. As Pullum described, there is a lot of misconception involving using AAE to implement student’s learning. The point is not to make dialects like AAE a language course in schools or have classes be taught in those dialects, but rather to be used in conjunction with the Standard to efficiently ease children into the desired outcome. Judge Joiner offered a solution to the problem by requiring teachers to dedicate a certain amount of hours to understanding these children’s point of views. Verdelle, on the other hand, seems

English language teaching is an art that requires artistic sensibility and well trained perfectibility. Each stage of English language acquisition will present unique challenges and require unique strategies. It cannot be mastered within a particular period of time. Learning English language will take some years to be mastered. Teaching the international language inside the classroom is very difficult indeed, especially for non native speakers of the language. Various strategies have to be applied for teaching English inside the classroom and to make students use the language outside the classroom. Teaching vocabulary requires more attention. Effective ways of teaching words will enhance learning capability. Mere learning of vocabulary will not make the learning process complete. For an effective mode of communication learners should be taught to use vocabulary in authentic situation. English language teachers need to concentrate on the ways which can help and teach

Many countries in Asia like China, Japan, UAE, Sri Lanka, Singapore etc., adopted English as a foreign language not as a second language. Because considering English as a second language and as a Foreign Language is different in their view point. They view that outside of the classroom, English is not that much useful. They teach all the subjects in their mother tongue but in India if one is unable to speak in English he becomes a tabooed person. Many Asian countries treat the pupil’s age, sex, race, attitude, intelligence and grasping power in teaching English. Indian teachers neglect this aspect. For ex: a speaker from Hyderabad emphasizes more vowels before many words because of the influence of Urdu. Straight – Istraight. And a Bihari pronounces ‘sh’ as ‘s’ because of the influence of Kharboli. Teachers don’t take into consideration of this aspect and mistreat students. So teachers have to choose the methodology as suit their classroom and environment. If teacher takes all the factors into consideration classroom becomes more meaningful. All the methods are not meaningful when teacher choose them as per the needs of the classroom.

Second language acquisition is a process whereby people learn an additional language on top of their native ones. Learning a second language can be functional to oneself especially when communicating with a person whom you do not have a common language with. In acquiring the second language, there will be difficulties that one might face as compared to acquiring the first language, which makes it harder to acquire. Our mother tongue is easier to learn as we would have been brought up by our parents or grandparents that speak the language. Learning a second language can be difficult as we are not brought up for that language and would not know the basis of it. Some factors that makes it hard is the age of the learner, experience, the cognitive

Foreign languages are a must in today's world. There are many needs for a second language to be learned by everyone. The growing need to learn more languages is becoming more apparent in the public world today. In order to fix this problem, the school system needs to teach multiple foreign languages in order to grow as a nation both mentally and culturally.

To learn a Foreign language is always overly pushed upon students in High School. Some states require students to earn the credit before being able to even graduate and move on to further their education. In the opinion of many people this required standard is irrelevant. Why should the students who live in the United States lose time on other helpful subjects to learn a language who only less than half of the world speaks? I will narrow it down to specifically the languages that are taught in school systems: Spanish, French, and German.

When teaching English as a foreign language, the teacher must be conscious to develop four different language skills in the students – listening, speaking, reading and writing. The activities and strategies used to develop these skills must be determined by the level and ability of the students being taught. This essay will discuss the strategies that facilitate the development of each language skill in the EFL classroom; the examples of activities used will be in the context of B2 level students, a classroom full of individuals who are able to function as independent users of the English language.

A second language is known to be used by someone who wants to advance in a career area and require the second language or by someone who wants to adapt to a new country. The struggles of learning a second language in a country that only speaks the native language can cause difficulty to adapt. People from Mexico tend to only speak spanish, therefore it is not common for them to speak another language. A foreign language is a language that is learned in an area where that language is not generally spoken by the community as a whole. This essay will try to explain through the use of research why and how people learn English as a foreign language.

Language has been in the world since humans began to exist on the Earth. Language is an important part in constructing people’s perception and cultures. It is the reason that aggressors tried to teach their language to the victims who were invaded. People in the world, nowadays, interact with foreign people who speak different languages, so the possibility that people meet foreign people is increasing. As time goes, the society where people live requires them to learn a second or third languages. Some people think that they do not feel like they need to learn a foreign language, such as America and China. They claim that people can use the time better instead of learning a second language. In fact, this is the truth that we can survive even if we don’t know other languages. However, since the trend of our world has been changing, people make an effort to learn a foreign language for different purposes. Becoming a bilingual person(or multilingual person) gives an opportunity for people to gain more and better skills and abilities than other people who do not learn a second language. For these reasons, many researchers study and search benefits and necessity of learning a foreign language. Thus, many schools in the world have formally started a class which is learning a second language because of getting the positive things even though we are able to live in our world without knowing another country’s language. We will have a lot of advantages if we know how to speak and

The second reason that children should be taught foreign languages at a younger age is the academic benefits while learning the language. Multiple researchers have studied the advantages that children have if they have studied a language in the past. Almost all the findings have concluded that people that learn a language at young do better academically. In Blue Linder’s discussion on the importance of teaching foreign language in schools, she states that “Children gain a deeper understanding of English as they learn the structure and vocabulary of other languages. This understanding translates into more confidence in English and a greater command of the language. Furthermore, learning a second language fosters a flexibility of thinking that translates into math, creativity, and problem solving.” Here Linder is talking about the fact that children who learn a second language can expand their minds and the ways that they think. Seeing the differences in a language and how they connect to their native language enables them to see different patterns and correlations. Children are then able to apply this way of seeing connections to other areas of school. If all students were to learn languages in their early school years, it is believed that schools would see a major increase in the academic success of the students. This success would give students many opportunities they did not previously have.

Humans are equipped physically and mentally to learn any language with equal ease. All human children go through same stages of language learning regardless of language they are learning.

Verbal language is how the human race communicates. Without it, nations would be severed from the worldly ties it needs to survive. A hundred years ago language loss wasn’t a concern, but now, it threatens the world. There is a great urgency for plurilingual people amongst the military, political, business, and international world, particularly in the U.S. If efforts are not taken to increase foreign language capabilities amongst the people of America, the future of cross-cultural communication will be grim. Foreign language understanding is crucial in society, and so a greater effort should be taken to educate the students of America for the benefit of globalization.

Everyone who utters a word speaks a language, but if nobody understands a language someone speaks, then communication becomes very difficult no matter how much explaining is done. Languages are used globally, yet they vary from country to country. Although languages vary a lot, it's important to learn other languages to build understanding. Most students are taught foreign language during their time in high school. learning a new language has been taught in high school where more students start their couple of year first starting a new language that they may have never heard of before. Although foreign language may be difficult for high school students, it helps them get a job, gain opportunities, and provide a different perspective of the world.

As a teacher, I care about speaking because I believe that an important reason of learning a language is to freely talk to people who speak the language. Although speaking naturally occurs to native speakers of the language, it is a challenge to speakers who are learning English as a second or foreign language. For this reason, I encouraged my students to participate in classroom discussions as well as in after-school English Corner where English was practiced orally. I was tolerable about students’ different pronunciations, intonations and dialect-intermingled Englishes (some students speak their local Chinese dialects and this affects their English pronunciation). I would only correct them when their pronunciation and word stress caused misunderstanding. The philosophy underpinning my language paradigm was that I intended to allow “linguistic and social differences” (Duke, 2011, p.
