The learning process has some
aspect to take into consideration when people are increasing their knowledge
about any language. Some of these aspect are the differences between L1 (first language)
and L2 (second language). As an example the age is an important factor because
in L1 learning starts when the learner is a baby and in L2 usually starts in
primary or secondary school. That is the reason why some people find really difficult
to learn L2. They are not accustomed, because they did not receive input or stimuli
since they were children.
Another important fact is the motivation to learn. In L1 learns
are motivated to learn the language because they
need to communicate with different purposes. On the other hand L2 learners they
only study the language because they have to do it, or it is a requirement for
the school, university and so on.
As a conclusion, I can mention that learning process has
many characteristics in L1 and L2 such as the motivation,
maturity, the different expectation of people in
general, the exposure and the interaction
to cite a few. I learned in this unit all the differences between L1 and L2 in
order to correct some patterns in my students like for example the lack
motivation and exposure to the L2. Also as future teacher we really need to focus on the necessities of all students, I mean to teach them
thing that they are going to use in their lives. Also, according to their learning styles
in order to provide them confidence to do all the assignments.
