DIFFERENCES
BETWEEN L1 AND L2 LEARNING
I
learnt that our mother tongue/ native or primary language is acquired during
early childhood. When we are growing up our cognitive skills develop at the
same time, but it depends on learners’ motivation to communicate with others. In
addition, L1 acquires language without translating and learning grammar
formally because they develop their knowledge subconsciously. The most
important factor is to be exposed and interact with others to pick up chunks,
slangs, idioms in order to expand their language. For example, L1 listens or
looks what others say after experiment language (silent period), it helps learner
to reformulate or simplified the speech. Consequently, L2 start learning the
target language when goes to primary or secondary school, because L2 must
practice, imitate to fulfill their expectations. Also, L2 need controlled
practice activities and being corrected by teachers because they are learning
through specific structures. As a result, I will apply group works, play games,
listen to radio programs, write emails to pen pals, extensive reading, record
videos, create forums and so on in order to provide students opportunity to
pick up and experiment language with motivation and confidence. All of these activities
will be presented according students’ age, learning style, multiple
intelligence, level and age.

Daisy I really liked the video that you shared about the Multiple Intelligencies Theory. You have clear ideas what this unit refers about.
ReplyDeleteDaysi I like the way you reflect on the L1 acquires language without translating and learning grammar formally because they develop their knowledge subconsciously and that L2 start learning the target language when goes to primary or secondary school that is very clear!
