we worked on notes about two different video. the first one was realleted to the power of good action, and the second one was about language acquisition where we wrote our opinion on how the video changed their understanding of FLA and SLA

I did not have any idea about this subject, so I learned and got a different point of view about language acquisition, in this case related to fsl, because for me it is an automatic proccess that I do not realized that can be studied to develop techniques to enhance second language adquisition

It is amazing how the brain of human being works, how the knowledge grows in every stage of language development

The activity was about to answer 3 questions

1.How does the environment affect language learning?

2. Is it possible that Pete will catch up in the future?

3.What role do caregivers play in language development?

Caregivers can control the enviornment that affect language learning. They does not have 100% control over it, but they can enhance it to develop childreen's skills

The class was about language teaching aproches for bilingualism & multilingualism

What did I learn?

joseledezma3 — 2024-10-16 20:16:36 UTC

I learned concepts about natural context. Teachin context is more common, but if we could combine both method using their best practice, people can learn quickly

How can a first language affect the acquisition and development of a new language? New concepts were presented in class

Making mistakes is part of the learning process; however, it is new to me that errors are classified, even though they can have either a positive or negative impact. Overgeneralization could be a result of a lack of practice, because people think they know the rule and apply it to every scenario

In this opportunity I analized a conversation of a 3 years-old-girl to check MLU. MLU for me is a basic indicator because it only counts word without meaning

Our journey finds its end today, after a few weeks of hard work , it is time to test our knowledge

Every method has its pros and cons. It is necessary to merge several methods to create a personalized approach that enhances our language skills. However, we can choose just one if it aligns with our goals ; for fluency, using a merged strategy is often best

joseledezma3 — 2025-06-30 00:55:27 UTC

Theories can be a little tricky ; a lot of names and dates, but what they define and why can be learned easily. People are distinct from each other, and this is the origin of multiple theories, because people learn using different strategies. More than learn in this class, it is remember

Different theories of language learning over a timeline. Some theories are releated to each other, but separeted over time.

This activity is personal and based on what we have been studying over these weeks

What did I learn?

joseledezma3 — 2025-06-30 01:28:09 UTC

An important fact is that I can analyze my mistakes, so I learned that I often overgeneralize some rules but have fossilized some mistakes due to lack of practice
