Second Language

Aspects that affect the learning of a second language on teenagers.

In the learning of a second language there are a lot of aspects that has a direct relationship with the way which students learn mentioned language (English).This essay pretends mention some aspects that mainly affect a student in the learning of a second language, those aspects can be from learning styles as well ways in what students tend to think about a teaching. First I will describe short aspects relation with the way the students can learn and after I will give my own point of view about it. I think mainly all of those aspects are related to the way teenagers grow up in determinate context.

Every person learns in a different way to other because they use different strategies, learns with different speeds, with major or minor efficiency. To make these aspects won’t affect our learning, first we have to identify what kind of learner we are to after focus in that we belong and from this start our learning with activities that could be easier the acquisition of a second language, in our case english.

On the other hand, the way in what students tend to think about how they are taught and what they are learning are another aspects that has relationship with the kind of learners that we can teach, in our case normalistas students, teenagers. As Laurence Steinberg says in her text adolescence: “A way in which thinking changes involve the ability to think about things in multidimensional fashion. Whereas children tend to think about one aspect at a time, adolescents can see things through more complicated lenses.

The learning of the English language has turned into a fundamental need into the young persons of our country, so much to communicate like to enter to the professional life. The form in which it thinks and learns the human mind is not equal during the different stages of the life, since the mental and cognitive processes that concern the learning in the children, teenagers and adults are not the same, of there the importance of which the teachers know different learning strategies that are adapted for the age and the style of learning of the pupils and encourage them to use these.

Along our lives there are a lot of factors that intervene in the learning of a foreign language. All begin when we born, the place where we grow up determines if the acquisition of another language is going to be a bit easier than the usual. I say this because I think that people who grows up in places where it is common to listen and to speak English has a way of learn more natural than people who doesn’t have contact with other language.

Nobody learn English of the same way that the others and it is because nobody grew up to the same way.
