Unfortunately you can see this change mostly in private schools, where parents have to spend a lot of money on. At these schools teachers are always working with creativity, giving children space to work on their thoughts and some other possibilities besides what is written in books (as Sir Robinson mentions: the one and only answer for a question). Practical activities are also very helpful, not only at kindergarten and elementary school but also middle and high school. Schools must introduce subjects related to what these children are going to deal on a daily basis in the future. Financial, globalization and environment lessons are very important ones." - Teacher Fabi atendimento_aulas https://padlet.com/atendimento_aulas/gnd399ssd13m/wish/139202418 2016-11-21 19:40:50 UTC https://padlet.com/atendimento_aulas/gnd399ssd13m/wish/139202418 21st Century Skills for Teachers and Learners atendimento_aulas https://padlet.com/atendimento_aulas/gnd399ssd13m/wish/139206895

Pronunciation 
Sounds, word and sentence stress and intonation can be similar, or completely different. Learners may find unfamiliar sounds or combinations of sounds difficult, or fun to try.

Register
Different languages and cultures have different mechanisms for addressing people of different social status, or showing politeness or deference.

Vocabulary
Languages may share similar words (cognates) or there may be false cognates - words which look similar but have different meanings in different languages. Some languages borrow words from other languages, including English. In other languages, very few words are recognisably similar to English.

Grammar
Grammatical concepts like time and tense can differ between languages. Some languages use time markers instead of different verb forms, to show different times. Verb tenses may be constructed in a similar way but have a different meaning.

Spelling
Languages can have different sounds/spelling relationships, and a different alphabet can present its own challenges.

Social interaction
Languages and cultures have specific ways of achieving certain social functions, such as starting and finishing conversations, interrupting without being seen as rude and changing the subject. These might be very different between a learner’s L1 and English.

Writing
The layout and writing style may differ between learners’ L1 or L2. The degree of formality of different languages in different social situations is also culturally-specific.

- Can improve accuracy

Disadvantages
