Second language acquisition

What did I understand today?
 I understand that acquisition is natural and a gradual process and learning is artificial in a classroom and a conscious process. A second language acquisition has some factors or barriers like age -more willing, more embarassed-,dull textbooks, insufficient time, everyday communicative requirements are in the first language or other things going on that strongly influence in a correct understanding. There are methods that allows to have a correct understanding like:
-Grammar translations, that is centered in the teacher
-audiolingual as a set of habits
-communicative approaches, is student centered
Then other topics like interlanguage (system of learner of a second language that is using a language system which is neither the L1, nor the L2).


How is this connected to my future teaching experience?
For example, the barriers influence in the efficiency of learning a second language because not having much time to dedicate and practice the language leaves a bad taste in the students like an unsatisfaction feeling. As a future teacher I must use time in a way that a can dedicate attention to theories and practice, more practice than anything else. Every barrier is a challenge and important so we must dedicate work to every single one of them.


What are 3 concepts I would highlight from this lesson?
One will be the audiolingual method is essential to understand the language -for example to listen a native person and learning to pronounce and speak the language correctly- the age is important to consider the difference of childrens who can easily learn during time and an adult have more complications when they work to get a good result for example in pronouncing well. And finally interlanguage appearing in the learning process becaming sometimes into a third language for a learner.
