THE
ROLE OF AWARENESS IN SECOND LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT
FEEDBACK
Through the article worked according to
(Allport, 1989, p.631). Attention issues "affect all areas of cognitive
science" because it is linked to the aspects of behavior and learning
necessary for the storage of long-term memory.
Cognitive psychology and cognitive science
are important in the acquisition of a second language presenting a variation in
the precision, fluency and complexity of speech in a second language in
different environments, and the effects on the performance of tasks require
attention special in the students.
The lack of attention affects the quality
of perception and attention of the students through memory and the attention
mechanisms that are used to select to mentally rehearse the information in the
study of the second language.
There are also two important parts to
emphasize that are attention mechanisms and the use of learning that study
different levels:
Neurobiological level (Schumann, 2004), is
the research that uses functional magnetic resonance (FMRI) shows changes in
areas of neural activation.
Response to visual objectives (Posner &
Peterson, 1990). One of the objectives of research at this level is to show how
attention networks in the brain give rise to consciousness, subjective
sensation.
In summary, the role of awareness in the
acquisition of a second language is to promote greater understanding that can
potentially contribute to the development of and language learning.

Hello Leonardo, reviewing
your participation on the article called The role of awareness in second
language development, it seems to me that the explanation of the qualitative
method is very well focused, taking into account that you explain the
relationships of different models of the relationship of attention and memory,
which takes into account the beliefs of the author and the different theories
established and accepted by the research community.
This article highlights awareness and learning
as important factors in learning a second language, referenced from different
theories, especially Schmidt's theory, which shows that these characteristics
directly influence attention and also in learning and acquisition of a second
language.
In general your explanation is very well
founded and is clear, good Job.

FEEDBACK
According to the article, I think that it
has an interesting topic because shows something that is very important
when someone is reading and it is the comprehension that we may have.
Until now, there were some aspects that for
me were known but I did not recognize them. Those facts are: two kinds of
information involved in reading, as they are mentioned in the article visual
information and non-visual information.
About the first aspect I can say that is important
to have it in mind, however, I think that the second part could be considered
as the key in some situations because it is the previous knowledge that we have
about the topics, for example tests, reading that we may need to do to face job
interviews or university interviews.
In addition, the first fact may have more
importance when we are only reading a book, or any other text.
Finally, I think that learn to have a good
reading comprehension is the key at any activity that any person will be into during
their life.

THE USE OF GRAMMAR TRANSLATION METHOD IN
TEACHING ENGLISH
Nowadays it is a reality that many books,
journals, TV programs among many other things are coming in English due to the
fact that English is bringing to the world. Also, this language has taken an
important role as a second language in many non-native English speakers’
countries, for example, take Colombia as an example, it is common to find many
people listening to music in English, reading books in English or people is
doing English courses because they want to go to another country as a tourists
or students.
And the method that is used in many places
is grammar translation method, it is a method that can be criticized because
speaking can be left aside or listening but the method itself is good. The
reason to do it is because in my point of view is that the main point is
grammar and as long as a person has a good grammar skill can be able to speak,
read and listen to English in a way that no one can even imagine.
By Leonardo Sierra
Dear Norma the
audio is not clear, so it was difficult to comprehend your analysis, however it
is well known that Grammar translation method was a popular method in early XX
century; it was a kind of conductism to transmit knowledge to students who
played a passive role in the process of learning.
It is important
to take into account that the results of this method could be assessed in
a qualitative form, since, teachers and students are involved in the process,
so, they are the protagonist of changes, achievements and target of learning
language. Despite being a rigorous and vertical method, it aims to achieve a
right development of language skills in students, so attitudes, behaviors are required
to evaluate the outcomes.
Thanks for your
attention,

THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE 5E MODEL STAGES TO BUILD STUDENTS' VOCABULARY.
FEEDBACK
Cesar,
Reading the article, I saw many things that
at first sight seem interesting, as far as I could understand this is a new
method for teaching English, even more when it has been implemented in some
school to teach the other subjects.
Also, I saw that this method use in some
stage the constructivism method which give the student to expand their
vocabulary, therefore the students do not have restriction to get the
knowledge, the knowledge is just adjusted to their efforts.
As far as I can understand from this
article, it wants to let the whole community know that there is a method of
teaching English that can be used. Also, I saw that the researcher need some
time to get the results because it was used classroom action research as the
qualitative methodology.
Also, I could see that if someone need to
implement this method, it will require 5 different stages, the material should
be adjusted to the student's needs, and the time needs to be adjusted to the
activities.
However, the best part to know it is that
is a method that will increase the student's vocabulary, and the students will
learn it easily because they had been motivated to do so.
