Second language acquisition & Learning of The Study of Language

14/03/2011


Actually I didn't attend to that class because I hadn't registered the class at that moment. However I got the contents of that class and it was about the Second language acquisition and Learning of the study of language. 


 Second language acquisition is when a language is learned naturally in a gradual process. For example a person who grows up in a social environment where more than one language is used he'll be able to acquire a second language by communicating with people who speak the other language.

When we talk about learning a second language, it applies to a more conscious process of accumulating knowledge of the features, such as vocabulary and grammar, of a language, typically in an institutional setting.
  
Acquisition barriers: These are the constraints that exist at the time to learn a second language such as lack of time, other occupations, and with an already known language available for most of their daily communicative requirements.

  1. What do you think about the barriers? How important will they be for your future job as a teacher?
