AGE AND ACQUISITION


                                    
AGE AND ACQUISITION
  REFLECTION:
  I think, adults are as good second language learners as children. Although children have a biological condition for learning their first language, they might learn Second Language as difficult as adults. It depends of the situations and environment they are learning it. In the same way, adults might be good Second Language learners depend of the different factors and the methods they use. When children are learning a Second Language by instruction way in an artificial environment, without motivation in that foreign language, obviously, they will learn difficultly. In the other hand, when adults learn a foreign language in an appropriate way they can success. One example, is a British friend of mine who started to study Russian at 54 years old. He studied through a program computer for around three years. Next, he applied for a job as an English teacher in Russia; as a result, he got the job and traveled to Russia. Children learn their first language easier and naturally, but learning a foreign language without necessary factors, turns out the process difficult for them. In the other hand, when adults learn a foreign language through the correct strategies they need, they reach their goal.

Reflexion chapter 6

     Reflexion chapter 6    In this paragraph, I want to talk about some barriers that are involved in Dominicans language learners which I have observed through my learning experience. The first one I want to mention is discipline. Majority d Dominican students are not appropriately educated in the solve problem way, and this make the process of any goal turn in a difficult issue, because they cannot organize their time and space, neither control those emotions that affect the learning process. Another one, is their ideologies about some myths emerged into society such as age. Many people think that, because that older people has lost the ability to learn a 2L yet, but it is not true. I know some people who learned a 2L just after their 45 years old. The difference is that they never belief they have not the ability.  They really believed in themselves.
