Being Spanish, professor Ortega considers how learning languages may  overcome negative attitudes to immigrants. In relation to Education, Ortega points out that through Linguistics theories we: (1) make instruction effective. (2) Understand how humans learn languages after they learn their first . (3) Address real-world problems  when we start learning a language.  ]]> 2021-09-15 05:29:03 UTC https://padlet.com/ericamafra/jksz5je4kevljaan/wish/1741733912 ericamafra https://padlet.com/ericamafra/jksz5je4kevljaan/wish/1741752469 According to Long & Larsen-Freeman (1991), the purpose of Second Language Acquisition theory is to foster:
1. Intellectual curiosity;
2. Increase teachers’ awareness about the learning process;
3. Help populations with specific language learning needs; 
4. Inform other disciplines (e.g. by helping to investigate linguists’ claims about linguistic universals). ]]> 2021-09-15 05:39:43 UTC https://padlet.com/ericamafra/jksz5je4kevljaan/wish/1741752469 ericamafra https://padlet.com/ericamafra/jksz5je4kevljaan/wish/1741790153 2021-09-15 06:00:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ericamafra/jksz5je4kevljaan/wish/1741790153
