Differences between L1 and L2 This TKT chapter taught me the difference between learner that acquire the language as a first language and those who acquire it as a second language which can be difficult according to ages, ways of learning and the context they are learning in. For example in when learning L1 learning starts at early ages and continues until the person has reached the adolescence, also they learn the language at the same time as the cognitive skills that help them to develop understanding, to add a characteristics they are motivated when they talk and interact because they are expose to the language every day and they are hardly ever corrected because that is they mother tongue. In contrast learning the L2 is most complicated because it usually stats at school and continues until adulthood, learners show have their cognitive skills developed when they are adults so it is a long process, also learners a less motivated because they focus on form and It is no...

The role of error In this TKT chapter some useful visible features about errors were explained, one of them is that errors help students to experiment with the language and noticed what is wrong when they speak or write . And this unit focuses on why leaners make mistakes and actually there are two main reasons. To begin with, we have interference of the mother tongue which influences on the second language learning because pupils introduce some pattern from the other language and that make they make mistakes unconsciously . The other reason is when learners make error in organizing and experimenting with the language which is very common in very first learners because they always overgeneralizing everything but after some practice they noticed their mistakes and improve the way they produce the language. To apply all of this in my teaching, I will certainly make my students be aware of their mistakes without making them feel embarrassed but with strategies to help th...

Exposure and focus on form In this TKT chapter I learn some essential things about exposure which to some experts is the main way to learn a foreign language, for example when a child is exposed to the language he or she will automatically pick it up without actually knowing they are learning, this is just like the way any of us got the mother tongue . So in order to help students to pick the language up there are three main ways to do it; the first is acquisition in which the learners should be totally surrounded by the language, they need to hear and read interesting material according to their level, so that way they won’t realize they are learning. The second is interaction , which is relevant they have to express themselves with others and also be able to understand what their classmates want to convey and that will help students to experiment new things and learn vocabulary and grammatical structures just interacting. The third and last is focus on form which help learn...

Background to language learning: MOTIVATION This TKT chapter taught me a lot about motivation and how we can motivate language learners in the learning process which is very useful for teachers, in fact is one of the main aspects that aids a learner to achieve goals when picking a language. Talking about factors that influence students, there are many of them which make them want to progress and actually inspire them to do something those factors can be: reading books in the target language they are learning and be aware of cultural aspects, confidence from the teachers toward pupils, encouragement from classmates, wish to communicate with foreigners or interesting coursebooks and activities. In addition to the mentioned, teacher should be the example of being motivated in the class and create a good atmosphere , also giving clear instructions and positive feedback can build interest on learners as well as making them feel important and that way they will have a high moti...
