Babies need human interaction when learning the new language.

behavioristic theory of first language acquisition and believe that children come into the world with no preconceived notion about language and throughout time they are shaped by their environment to acquire a language (Brown, 22)

Online assignment #1

I’m just a sponge

language classes again until the second half of my sophomore year,

I honestly recall nothing about the “how” of it.

French, Spanish, and Italian.

structuralist approach

I remember memorizing lines after lines of pronouns and verbs to be conjugated later with little instruction on why this is done.

point of view

autodidactic

motivation

to increase proficiency

(like having questions prompts to start a conversation with another)

where standardized observable performance assessments to quantify learning were used, also conditioning and reinforcement of desired behaviors to maximize compliance and focus on tasks

I would highlight

I don’t know if there is a specific school of thought that completely describes my school’s teaching philosophy

People also did not normally use perfect syntax in conversation.

I was wanted to be proficient in a third language.

structural/behaviorist approach

French in middle school, high school and undergraduate years of college.

Students that never received a formal education in their L1 lack the foundational skills necessary to go through a week by week schedule of vocabulary -> grammar -> dialogue -> test

language fundamentals

Students will always have clear understanding of objectives and expectations and the process can be refined overtime

structure

day learning new words.

I can recall a very organized structure to units – with specific days dedicated to specific objectives

HW #1

immersion

variables

my true language learning had started.

general Spanish

Spanish that my mother taught me when I was younger

I could understand most of what was said to me but it was speaking back to people which was always difficult

I learned very very little Spanish and Italian when I was younger but it was literally a few words and phrases here and there

the approach may seem logical, it could be distracting.

practicing the words

rationalism and cognitive psychology

it was confusing and it didn’t sound like the same language in its essence

when I moved to the U.S

n classroom settings

interactive approach

I could honestly say I didn’t learn as much as I would like to in either classes

They went the classical way of teaching because the way they taught was more quiz based, exam based and assignment based

structuralism/ behavioristic approach

They thought us a lot of vocabulary as mention in the text.

There were a lot of grammatical components to the language that I didn’t know about. I also didn’t know the conjugations and the different pronouns that the Spanish language has

I was forced to speak in English because that was the only way I could communicate with them being that they didn’t speak Spanish.

formal acquisition of the English language

Constructivism method

academic language in Spanish

Spanish as second language

I took a beginner Spanish course

Spanish language was the most essential tradition

I took Latin

Lilian Asuncion

Spanglish

I needed to excel socially and academically

constructivist approach

educational approaches

This approach was not effective in my process of the new language acquisition

I believe that what engaged me in my process of learning a new language was the ability to actively communicate with others in English, the need to express myself forced me to practice the language
