My Opinion A Good Language Learner Should Be Motivated

One-point teachers should be aware of language acquisition is that the child ability to participate in a classroom may be affect because of the lack of communication, must of the time students that are second language learners tend to stay quite and demonstrate lack of understanding. It is important to identify these students to be able to approach and teach them adequately.

The most effective methods for teaching are being in a communicative environment where the language is spoken through dialogue, creating stories, brain links, and more. Also, I am interested in Total Physical Response (TPR), where the students associate words with actions. This can later be tied to storytelling (TPRS), where the students act out the narration showing their comprehension. I know this because I have done this with students, and they surprising learn and grasp the language better. The most important aspects of my teaching are motivation and teamwork. Without motivation students would not want to work, the class environment needs to be warm and welcoming. I do not want the students to be scared to learn another language, but open to the idea of it. Teamwork is also key because working on your own can be

It is not easy to learn a foreign language. It is definitely one of the hardest and challenging thing to do, especially when you are a bit older. Therefore, it is extremely important to be taught the language in a safe environment and with a good teacher. And a teacher has to think about the way they interact with student, if not they can end up scaring them rather than helping them.

One way that I know will help students learn a new language is from their environment. People learn language from being emerge, the hear it all the time, they speak it and it is spoken to them. People learn a new language when they are continually hearing and speaking the language.

ELL students can only improve their knowledge of language through speaking and writing. Practice is one of the only ways to learn a language. Knowing this students and mentors should be mindful of projects they assign students. Educators should also be mindful of study habits they teach and present to students. When it comes to teaching ELL students it is important for teachers to slow down and give clear directions. It is easy for students to misunderstand language as well as feel overwhelmed. Assigning in class partners or small groups can also be a helpful way for ELL students to interact with other native students academically. Building academic support systems and communities is an important way for nonnative speakers to

For me to learn a language properly I have to have an understanding of the mechanics of the language. Here is an example of what I mean. If I say, “On what aisle will I find the condiments like ketchup and mayonnaise,” in Spanish, I may say, “Donde encontro condiments egual a ketchup e mayonnaise?” The person I am talking to may understand me enough to help me, but if I had said, “Por lo pasillo puedo encontrar condimentos como salsa de tomate y mayonesa?” It would sound like I know what I’m saying, and it would be easier to understand me.

Learning any language can always be tricky depending on how you’re taught. Sofia created a video showing that learning a language at a young age is an effective way to become fluent. Sofia started the video by introducing us to her family and expressing to us that she comes from a cultural family who's primary language is Spanish. She also showed us how she and her brothers learned English in various ways that fit each of their needs. As the video came to a close she showed the effectiveness of these specific learning habits they were introduced to, which lead to there fluency in the English language.

Third grade students who are English Language Learners are struggling to understand lessons that are being taught in the classroom. The class has been assigned to do a book report over a country in a different continent of their choosing. The ELL students have started running into problems of understanding the task and how to find information, while the other students know that they will need to read books and look online to find research on their country. The few difficulties they have started coming across has discouraged them and they don’t want to do the book report anymore.

Engaging in in-groups languages strengthens the bond with the people I know, because we share a certain way of communicating, a bond that no one else can compare to. We can communicate by just a look and know what we are talking about. Or we may say just

Guidelines to teaching a foreign language highlight all of these elements. Listening, reading, writing, and speaking are all taught and tested at beginner, intermediate, advanced, and superior levels so that these different learning methods are highlighted and executed at varying levels. Children also learn and are shown new ways of looking at the world through the varying strategies. In fact, correlation studies have shown that “students who have had several years of foreign language do better on SATs, particularly the verbal part” (WALKER). As root words, prefixes, suffixes, conjugation, and noun agreements are taught in new languages, it is easier to see connections to the structure of one’s first language. The knowledge of a language one is raised speaking and understanding is simply obtained through experience. However, learning a second language emphasizes the parts of language that come naturally in the first. It takes self-motivated work and dedication to learn a second language later in life, so the outcome of attaining a comprehensive grasp on a foreign language early on pays off in multiple ways.

Learning another language introduces a new culture. It teaches about other cultures and provides you with information about how they live.

For students who are learning a second language, school can represent a heavy task. As teachers we need to support them and pay attention to their language needs. There are many strategies and ways to educate English Language Learner students. However as educators we must first create an environment of respect and include English Language Learner students in our teaching lessons. We also need to provide them with meaningful and comprehensible lessons that will help them grown academically. My three major goals that I have for my ELL students is build on students ' background knowledge to increase comprehension, increase ELL students ' English language production and peer interaction, and increase ELL parent involvement. First of all, to accomplish my goals I have to create an environment in which students are motivated to learn no matter their culture, and language.

Acquiring and learning a second language do not refer only to handling oral communication skills. It is more than that; it takes the students´ abilities in enhancing their lexicon, their management in syntax, and their perspective about words´ influences in people. Thus, summing this up, it is indispensable that ESL students have a grand deal about linguistic knowledge. In other words, ESL learners not only require speaking, but also reading, writing and thinking in English when they complete whatever English career.

For me, learning a language is a complicated process. It is different from learning other subjects. It involves a lot of practices and follow up. When I talk about my personal experience, I would say that I have a rich experience in learning English as a second language. English was taught to me for ten years starting from grade seven till graduation from university. After graduation, I felt that I should improve my language skills. Therefore, I did a lot of efforts personally to increase my fluency. Until now I still learn the language. Indeed, learning a language takes a lifetime.
