Unit 10 Exposure and focus on form
It’s important to mention important information that I had learnt in
this unit about exposures and focus of form of the target language.
First, exposure to the target
language it’s very important it could be by an indirect way for example by
listening to music or watching TV programs in which learners are going to pick
up the language without realizing it, this is mainly the way children learn but
it’s not enough if learners are adults. In addition we have acquisition that takes place over a period of time where learners
learn empirically by working out the
language.
We need other people to express ourselves so if we want to learn a
language it’s needed to have lots of interaction
and we will know directly or indirectly if the other person understood us if
they don’t understood we can use paraphrasing, but we need to pay attention to pronunciation,
word order or affixes.
Finally, the use of several approaches teachers can use like grammar translation method focused on
grammar or structural approaches
focus on structure to help learners to understand and speak the language

It is a very good reflection that shows the information and the differences betweenerrors and slips. Thus, I clearly understood yur point and how learners can be corrected and helped to avoid making errors.
ReplyDeleteThe slideshare presentation is useful since it contains the differences between acquisition and learning and the authors who mention it in this case Stephen Krashen.
Good reflection, I may say
ReplyDeleteThis shows your comprehension and understanding of the unit and what is more important the knowledge that you got about exposure and form. The sources that you are given are very interesting. I watch the video on strategies from which I get new ideas about this topic.
I agree with you Giss, students need to interact, and you mention that for students is not necessary to know the exactly word they can paraphrase it. Anyways is a perfect opportunity to work out the language and improve their language structures
ReplyDeleteVery good analysis because to learn a language we need to be with other people to express ourselves, to interact to practice since it is important to be understood and then pay attention to pronunciation, word order or affixes.
