There are several factors that contribute to differences in how quickly or successfully individuals acquire a second language:
Age - Younger learners have advantages like brain plasticity and weaker identity, while older learners' advantages include learning capacity, analytic ability, and life experience.
Sex - Studies show females tend to acquire a second language faster due to greater motivation and sociability.
Aptitude - Includes abilities like phonemic coding, grammar sensitivity, inductive learning, and memory that determine an individual's language learning ability.
Motivation - Requires effort, desire, and positive attitudes towards integrating with the target culture or gaining benefits from the second language.
Cognitive styles and learning strategies - How individuals prefer
This presentation is about Role of Motivation in Second Language Learning. The types of motivation and how motivation effects the process of learning a new language.
Second language acquisition (SLA) is known to be a very important issue in the field of linguistics. It can take place in a natural setting or through formal instruction, and, although the degree of proficiency that can be attained is related to several factors, it may begin at childhood or at the adult age, ending with different results if starting in the former or the latter.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Differences of learners in second language acquisition
1. DIFFERENCES OF LEARNERS IN
SECOND LANGUAGE
ACQUISITION
Student: Aura Villa
Teacher: Maricela Madrid
2. INTRODUCTION:
Some second language learners make rapid and
apparently progress while others progress very
slowly and with difficulties.
Each individual is different from the other, they
have different personalities and styles.
Human differ from each other due to biological or
conditioned factors or unconscious forces:
4. 2. SEX:
Studies have shown that females tend to
acquire L2 faster in the way they show greater
integrative motivation and more positive
attitudes to L2 and are more sociable.
5. 3. Aptitude
Four types of abilities that constitute aptitude:
1. Phonemic coding ability
2. Grammatical sensitivity
3. Inductive language learning ability
4. Memory and learning.
Aptitude alone does not determine the language
learning ability of an individual.
6. 4. Motivation:
According to Garner (1985) motivations
requires effort and desire to achieve a goal
along with good attitudes.
Types of motivation
Integrative: integrate with a target community
or culture.
Instrumental: to get benefits from L2.
7. 5. Cognitive styles:
It has to do with the individuals’ preferred way
of processing.
1. Field dependent/ field independent (FD/FI)
2. Global/ Particular
3. Holistic/ Analytic
4. Deductive/ Inductive
5. Focus on meaning/ Focus on form
8. 6. Learning Strategies:
According to O’Malley and Chamot (1990)
strategies are tools for active, self-directed
involvement needed for developing L2
communicative ability.
1. Cognitive strategies: repetition, translation
2. Metacognitive strategies: advance organizer
3. Social and affective: questioning for clarification,
Cooperation, etc.
9. 7. Personality:
A second language learner will make choices of
strategies and skills according to bent of his or her
personality.
There are personality characteristics that may
affect L2 learning:
1. Extroversion vs. Extroversion
2. Self esteem
3. Inhibition
4. Risk-taking
5. Anxiety
10. Conclusion:
In general differences in learners play a
crucial role in the acquisition of a second
language. However the teacher should always
be skilled and willing to help the students use
these differences to their advantages in the
process of SLA. All this is possible when the
student shows good motivation and is willing
to learn.
