 Personal introduction
My name is Daniela Murillo I am nineteen years old and I am from
Bogotá, I am in the fourth semester of a Bachelor's Degree in Foreign
Languages with an emphasis in English, I worked in a concert
logistics company, but now I only dedicate myself to my study due to
the quarantine. I hope to make good use of the course. Thank you
very much

 Reflection on Krashen’s Hypotheses.

I consider that the hypo thesis that best describes my learning


process is the first one. The acquisition-learning distinction, this
hypothesis exposes us two ways and the one that defines me is the
second, where I understand through the situation, the context, the
extralinguistic information and the knowledge of the formal rules of
languages and the ability to verbalize them. I learn more in this way
because when a teacher teaches me and / or I write the forms and
rules of the second language and I study them, I consider that I learn
more about that subject. The first way in this hypo thesis is to learn
unconsciously, in this way I have realized that I learn vocabulary and
pronunciation a lot, for example when I listen to music and watch
movies and series I unconsciously memorize it, I realize of it because
when I do my work and others I recognize a lot of vocabulary and
pronunciation.

 Answers to the three questions.

1. How do humans learn additional languages after they have learned


their first?
I consider that as we learn the first language and / or our mother
tongue, we learn a second and the others that we want to learn,
obviously it is going to make it a bit more difficult because learning
something new so complex for some causes us fear and we also tend
to faint from it. simple fact that it seems difficult to us, and it will not
be completely the same because normally when they teach us
English, they make us learn their rules first and the grammar part at
that moment is when learning a new language becomes complicated.
But not all of us will learn the same because there are some who
learn as it was spoken in the first theory where some people
unconsciously learned the same with our mother tongue.
2. What factors contribute to the variability observed in rates and
outcomes of second language learning?
The social context is an important factor because the environment in
which learning takes place is fundamental, for example, in the
classrooms of public schools we see that the classrooms have over
population and this causes that attention is sometimes diverted. The
socioeconomic factor is also linked to this factor since we see that
people prefer to pay for an expensive school to learn their second
language, we tend to represent that the more money and the more
expensive something is, the better the final result or the product we
acquire.
The characteristics of the individual is also one of the most important
factors because it will depend on how it will be taught, at what pace
and perhaps for how long, it influences: Personality, affective and
cognitive characteristics, age, disposition and motivation.
Another factor is the learning process. Because, as I said before, not
all of us learn the same and that is where we enter to play the
strategies, techniques and mental operations for teaching.

3. What does it take to attain advanced language and literacy


competencies in a language other than the mother tongue?
I consider that he practices a lot of practice and patience, as when we
were children we learned to write and read, our parents or an adult
taught us and at first it seemed very difficult, but after practicing we
saw that we began to read and write more fluently, after it was not
forced and we could already do it automatically, this is how it would
also be done in the acquisition of a second language.
