Unit 12
Differences
between L1 and L2 learning
The relationship between how
people learn their first language (L1) and how they learn their second language
(L2) differ in many ways since when we acquire our first language we learn from
exposures while when we learn the second language through input.
On the other hand, there are some differences between L1 and L2 learning such as: how you get a language, amount of time, the age, the setting and motivation for using the language. First of all, there is the difference in the way to pick up a language such as acquiring for L1 or learning for L2, but L2 could also be picked up as a native language if the person lives in a country where the target language is used; there is also another in factor such as time for picking up L1 and L2, of course L1 is learnt faster for picking up L1 is learned more meaningfully than learning L2.
Another big difference between L1
and L2 learning is that L1 learning is nearly always fully successful, while L2
learning varies a lot in how successful it is.
Finally, learning a second
language is really difficult but if teachers use some practical strategies, methods
or techniques they could help their students to learn the language in a helpful
way. For example, in the classroom, praising learners can be very motivating
especially for younger learners respond well to praise since they keep working
when receive something.

ReplyDeletethankyou for sahring information about the differences between L1 nad L2.I think they are so imporatant for teachers to know since we will deal with studnets who already have acquired a first language and will be learning a second one. I agree when you say that teachers have to find strategies and techniques to help learners to make the langauge lñearning process easier.
Good post, you try to emphasize that is not the same when people learn a L1 and a L2. I agree with you because the differences between them are not simple when some factors affect them such as the age of the people that are involved in the learning process and ways of learning that the teachers use. Good Recourses. We have the same picture too.
ReplyDeleteGreat!!

GOOD!
ReplyDeleteLety I really enjoyed reading your analysis, the use of terms fro the TKT exam is accurate!
Leti I really enjoyed reading your points of view because, as you mentioned, learning a second language is difficult but if we, as future teachers, use some practical strategies, methods or techniques correctly we could help our students to learn the language succesfully without forgetting to praise them.
