10-T1-+LANGUAGE+ACQUIS.THEORIES

FOREIGN LANGUAGE PEDAGOGY 1.-LANGUAGE ACQUISITION PROCESS. === Learning a Foreign Language is not an easy process, as neither is the Acquisition of our Mother Language. Nevertheless, we must go deep inside our inner theories about what we imagine is the process of acquisition, as well as the role of every people involved - children, adults, media, gadgets,..- and compare them to the different theories being used as a support to our learning practice. ===

Teachers must be aware of what children can learn, as well as the strategies required. So Let's start with this first challenge:
1- Identify the main features in the process of Language Acquisition. Compare different theories + Implementation 2- Observe, identify techniques used by the adults and strategies applied by children, and design a lesson set on successful L.A. Premises. 3- Share your achievements with the rests of the groups


 *  As we have set for our workshop, we will follow the Scientific Method, applied to this new research on Language Acquisition. **

Let's start reviewing our inner theories about Language Learning and Language Acquisition.



1- Set your purpose. Identify what you think and compare your theories with these researches:

There are many theories about leaning but we will help our designs with the ones you have below:

**d** . IMPLEMENTING THEORIES: Observe this class and identify the control of the different kinds of speech his teacher introduces in her lesson all the different moments in the theory:

Reading aloud. A Michale Rosen porposal to develop Multiple Intelligences while reading

Or this alternative way to work with Poetry "Poetree" would be interesting ways deal with language and Literature in our classes.

Developing strategies through Interaction is the very first way to participate in a discourse observe these kids counting and developing Mathematical skills through summing up (addition), mental counting one by one or using even or pair numbers (minutes 03:10-04:36)

Another way to mix Maths and language might require using films. Observe these two videos where Maths and Literature go hand in hand (Line graphs- collecting data). The lesson media type="custom" key="25194214"

Observe also new techniques to develop super-sentences: Writing activities
