Professor B indicated that he heard students saying that they were never good at learning a
second language in schools. He claimed that it was utterly important to focus on
factors that
would govern success or failure in this field.
Teaching Methods Commonly Used in FSL Teaching
According to Professor B:
“It was essential to place emphasis on the natural way in which L1
learners could
assimilate a foreign language. The same process could happen if learners became
immersed in natural learning situations.”
He then provided an overview of learners’ key successful learning endeavors. These
included:
1) encouraging challenges and social approaches to help learners
use general strategies
that would help them deal with the most common communicative situations.
2) helping students immerse. Teachers must increase learners’ motivation, treating the L2
as a skill that students use as a tool for the transmission of thoughts. Thus, educators
should emphasize the collaborative process.
3) adapting technology as an alternative linguistic approach where the technological tools
would help L1 students learn how to produce automatic patterns. Later,
teachers should
integrate these patterns into the emerging linguistic learning process to perceive instances
of the L2 language,
its features, and its formulating rules.
4) creating real-life situations. Educators must encourage simulation, free conversation,
and interaction with native L2 speakers.
