Unfortunately, I don't have much to write about my experience with language awareness because I don't have it. I never had the need to think about this in my classroom since all my students speak Croatian, which is their mother tongue. Nonetheless, I am aware that many teachers nowadays deal with bilingual students and I can imagine meeting bilingual students in my own class in the future. After reading the introduction, I am thinking of several situations in which language awareness could be important: when interpreting a literary text, for example, the teacher should be aware that the student can recognize the grammatical and lexical meaning of a word, but may miss its cultural or idiomatic meaning. I see this as an opportunity for both this student and other students, including myself, to learn something new.

In Brazil we have a large population and among them we have several Japanese, Chinese and other nationalities
Many students learn our language early because of school life and there is no established standard for this inclusion, since the school is public and serves everyone.
There are bilingual schools with the intention of teaching two languages to their students, for example private schools that offer a differentiated teaching, but it is not accessible to all.

In my opinion the motive of every teacher is to make her each and every child understand the concepts and the moto of her topic. so language can be barrier if the students are not able to understand her teacher.

Language awareness is important for teachers who build intercultural awareness. To practise different languages means knowing different cultural worlds, promote inclusive education.

# data[].attributes.body
Language awareness allows me to make students reflect, comparing in a simple way the Spanish language I teach, with the Italian language (school language) and with the mother tongue (when it’s possible) of not-Italian speakers. In this way I help my students to learn a certain awareness of the language and not to consider the second or third language as obstacles to communication.

Each teacher must be an example for his pupils. And I had bright example with my students while we were travelling abroad. We live near Poland, but not all people speak Polish. We worked in an eTwinning project with our Polish friends. I could easely cooperate with both groups, but my children had some difficulties. This showed how importante is language awareness. Also this was great motivation for my students to study foreign languages

LA is important for teachers as it can help them reflect on their work, understand why something is going wrong in the relationship with some students and even find reasons for cases of drop-out or poor school achievement. If I had been more language aware in the past, I would have used more ICT during my lessons, e.g. internet, films and Youtube videos.

I think LA is very important for teachers because you can express better an idea if you have the right tools to do it

# data[].attributes.body
LA is important there are some students who speak different language at home which is different from formal language. Even their parents are not familiar with formal language used at the schools. In such cases, it’s very important we conversate/teach them in a language where they feel at the same level as the other students do. It boosts their confidence thus we are contributing towards beautiful future of the nation.

My essential motive as a language teacher lies in stimulating pupils to develop an ability to think critically about language and to create a challenging and an inspirational environment. This implies the importance of language awareness, of being able to understand one’s own way of thinking and the use of language as a medium in order to learn a foreign language.

In my training practice with 3-years-old students in a school with pupils from various different cultures, whose parents have immigrated in recent years, I realize the importance of knowing and planning strategies when teaching in order to ensure that those students with an L1 different from the language used in school were able to carry out the same learning like the rest of the peers. The main strategies were working through visual resources and the step by step explanation of the procedures through their demonstration.

I strongly believe that language awareness is very important to the teaching process, especially when teaching a foreign language, because it is important to recognize students' needs and to try to create a better environment for them. We should do our best to help them develop properly.

# data[].attributes.body
I truly believe that language awareness is important and that every teacher should be aware of this aspect. In our country most of the schools start their teachings with the international language - English. However, since a good amount of them are native speakers they find it difficult to focus and to carry out the task at hand, At the same time, the children with foreign nationality finds it difficult to communicate with the rest of the class who are native speakers. Once I had a child of Italian nationality and I did not know much of Italian so I really struggled to make him feel welcome and to know if he is understanding the given tasks.

# data[].attributes.body
I’m an Italian English teacher so I teach English as a foreign language at a secondary high school. I well know what means teaching in a different language than the one students are familiar with, that becomes the vehicle to delivering the message to the students. So if they are not familiar with the language you are using for teaching, they might feel discouraged and lose interest in the foreign language, when in reality the problem is the language of instruction.

Therefore, acquiring a good command of academic language – that is the language of the classroom - goes hand in hand with the learning of a foreign language. This is the reason why I usually face situations where language awareness helps me to design the learning for the students.

# data[].attributes.body
In my classes , I've students speaking different languages; Students ,whether are learning through their first language, language is a vehicle for learning.

Sure thing. There was a student who was very smart , arrived at class one month after classes have started because he came from another country due to a new job of his father. He knew a lot about the grammar of the English language, could understand the readings and have a good level of educated and academic vocabulary, but his listening skills were betraying him, since he was getting used to new suprasegmental features of the oral English of our region. Since the teacher noticed this, the child was not taken to a lower level class and after two months his listneing skills were superb. There was even a geography contest , called "Geography Bee" that he won at school level. All this was possible because his teacher was an awesome observer of his needs as a learner.

I think that greater language awareness would have helped me tackle with difficulties aroused by the presence of students with different languages in my classroom, turning those challenges into valuable opportunities. I'm thinking about the chance of offering those students and their classmates the opportunity to feel competent by taking charge of the learning experience

In my case I have students from south America and their way to speak Spanish is different, and even-though being the same language, they have different background. So knowing that they can explain us how they use words that we use here in different situation and the other way round. That interchange of information also helps to integrate those students in the class.

I don't have students with different languages but I have met a lot of students with a different level of language understanting so I truly believe that LA is very important for teacher to make a confortable climate during class.

In my opinion, language awareness is very important for teachers in order to make students feel part of a whole. Feeling integrated is an accomplishment for students and therefore will develop more advanced skills.

In my opinion students, with a different native language, have to feel to be accepted by the other students of the class and of the school in general. As a teacher of English, I work much in explaining that these students can be a richness fot all cthe class, and everyone must help them to integrate and assimilate not only our language but also our culture.

I only teach Polish students. It is a pleasure for us to highlight the differences in  thinking and comprehending the life phenomenon that different languages elicit. We learn not only how to say things but also how to think in order to understand different reality better, We even sometimes look for values hidden behind "strange" ways of expressing the same situation opening our minds to another point of view. We learn to be tolerant and free.

Language awareness is not limited to understanding the challenges that language may presents to learning a subject by native versus non-native speakers. As a second language teacher, I know that learners of English from different language backgrounds may be challenged by the same language point to a different extent. For instance, learning something like using capital letters for proper nouns will be relatively easy to speakers of Russian who can transfer similar skills from their native language and acknowledge/adjust to the differences, e.g. writing the days of the week with lower-case letters in Russian but with a capital letter in English; however, the same topic may be quite problematic for speakers of Arabic or Chinese simply because there is no such thing as ‘capital letters’ in those languages, thus the learners are baffled and need more time to (a) understand the concept, (b) practise identifying when it’s applicable in addition to (c) learning to distinguish between lower- and upper-case letters and (d) shaping them.
Michael Swan and Bernard Smith published ‘Learner English: a teacher guide to interference and other problems’ – a practical reference guide which compares the relevant features of 22 languages with English, helping teachers to predict and understand the error-patterns and problems their students may have with pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, etc.

I usually teach in classes with multilanguages students. They need to express themselves in their native languages to feel accepted and at easy and I let them speak in their native language and then we focus on the topic we're studying in English. They feel involved because they give their contribution.

Even if there is no language diversity in a class, it is always important to orientate towards other languages if one thinks, for example, of information searches. In my opinion, a teacher should feel comfortable looking for information in other languages and involve their students in the wealth of knowledge and culture that is beyond our

LANGUAGE AWARENESS

I think that language awareness is very important for teachers. I teach in a Primary school, and some years ago there were two american pupils in my classroom. They stayed there only one year,but they couldn't speak italian. So the only way to comunicate each other was english language. It was a great experience for me and the pupils were very happy and they felt good, but also it was useful for the whole class. Nowadays in my classroom, there aren't foreign students, and as I teach Italian and English, I sometimes try to explain using english language.

Language awareness refers to the development in learnes of an enhanced consciousness of and sensitivity to the forms and functions of language

Yes language awareness is important i have an example on India our first language is hindi and kids in my class are small their command over language is obviously not strong so there was a foreign teacher in our class for some days so sometimes they were unable to make her understand what was she saying and vice-versa so i used to translate them and her or used to tell them in more  simple words so as i was aware of the language properly i was able to deliver the same. So, you might see it is of great importance.

Because It's very important for a teacher . Language is communication means to tranmit something to someone.
