I considerer there could be necessary to pay big attention to what a s could draw the interest, to teach it or be learned. Also, providing many opportinities for ss to approach the language and culture, to make guesses, corroborate them and expand their ideas and competences in the language. Then, I think for learning it is important to interact constantly, but also to study by ourselves what is needed to be strengthen to grasp rules.  Regarding teaching language, I conisder is important to take into account the grammar, the students needs, the way they prefer to learn it, the culture in which is incert the language, etc., beacuse it's quite complexe.

I definitively can not say a "how" since I haven't believed in that idea of a "single and ideal process" to learn or teach a language. Me Saying how a language must be learn is saying lies sorry :'( I can speak about my personal experience, that I definitively don't think that was like very rigorous like to become in a solid process. In my case, it was all about grammar during school, and memorizing vocabulary. In some way it helped me in the future, but at that moment it was not functional. Then at the university, I kind of be immersed into a communicative approach based in the manual "The market leader". A lot of activities about writing in contexts you definitively did not have any idea or reference about. Also speaking in artificial situations that were not significant. Then at the School of Languages it was a little bit different, different approaches and more contextualized topics that definitively were more efficient for learning.

But, I can not speak about A PROCESS. It is going to be rhetoric, but it depends on the way you conceive the language, and the way the person that is studying conceives the language. From my perspective, as a learner, not as a teacher when I will have to respond to students' perspectives.... I only have a conviction: as learning a language seems to be learning a culture, and a values... I think that is the most important part. There are unlimited strategies to learn the linguistic competences, I think all of them are effective, there is not a most efficient path. However, the culture and the values that you are approaching to, have to pass through the reflection, the abandon of prejudices, the open of mind... and I find a really effective path to try to learn those aspects: THINKING, Debating, Dialogue, Looking for different perspectives about the same culture and values.

It also depends on learning styles

in my opinion it involves a mix of input (either in l1 with or l2 ) and output in l2 .... in this process, you start stablishing the bases with the previous knowledge so that some key linguistic concepts can be developed. then, you start slowly but surely to escalate more and more the 2 aspects into everyday life or situations (this of course, while considering the context and the learner's needs)

I consider that to learn a language it is important to start from the simple to the complex, taking into account the development of the use of grammatical structures and vocabulary. Communicative competence (rules for the appropriate and effective use of language in a variety of social situations). Understanding of spoken and written language;  and ways to express yourself.

In learning and teaching, there are many conscious and unconscious processes that we, as learners, do not fully understand. For example, a kid can be approaching to oral communication when she/he is listening to other people´s discourses and this kid does not even realize it. So, learning is an individual proccess that have different meanings to everyone. Besides, each person has diferents kinds of cognitive development, and even if a method can work for a large quantity of people, it does not mean that is an universal approach.

For this answer, I believe it's beneficial to think of language as a means, as a tool, as a communication vehicle, as a cultural manifestation,etc. With that in mind, approaches such content-based instruction call my attention precisely because there is an integration of language skills and ‘real use’ of the language. More specifically, I think activities such as discussions and other oral interactions (debates, oral summaries of or responses to material), readings (teacher reading for students, students reading for each other, silent reading), simulations of ‘real-life’ activities (role-plays, etc.), language focus (grammar/vocabulary/phonetics explanations), students and teacher presentations on topics, writing in different forms (free/creative writing, paragraphs/essay composition, written summaries or responses to material), hands-on activities… Well, all of this could be included in the L2 class.

A language is learnt in community, because it carries all a culture and ways of thinking, so it is learnt when you can share with others.

# data[].attributes.headline
I believe that a language is learned through interaction with others, through listening to others and trying to imitate them. I also believe that culture should be taught alongside language and the exposure to language should be high.

A language is taught according to an ensemble of considerations that work hand to hand with the teacher and the curriculum of the institution. Some of this considerations are: the context where the students live, the students need's, teacher's beliefs, and the methologies used to accomplish that purpose.

I know that theory is important because there are many things that we must know and we need to educate ourselves as teachers and learners in order to become better. But, in many cases, teachers base their classes only in what a handbook says, avoiding the diverse contexts and perspectives that take place in a class.

I consider a language is learned by  different means. Through exposition, input, inmertion, comparing with L1, so it can be learned different depending on the person.

In what I have learned, teaching a language should consider the students' needs and their context, so it depends on several factors.

Taught:  Languages are taught like mathematics, straight ahead. Give formulas for everything and when you comprehend the simple formula, move on to a more complicated one, and so on, and so on...

A language is taught according to teacher's beliefs, so there are many approches that can be used. Some of them could be cognitives, humanistics or critical. However it also depends on the institution, the curriculum, the quantity of the students.

Learnt: Through sources of comprehensible input (Krashen for life) Students already understand several things from their mother tongue. If they are able to use what they know and they level up by 1 each time they learn the language, if they find something a little bit more challenging, then, they integrate that to their current knowledge. Of course, that would depend on what they need to learn... if I am a doctor, I won't remember concepts linked to Astrophysics, since that's not my field or something I use on a daily basis.
