This document discusses moving from viewing oneself as an English language learner to an English language user. It argues that students should take ownership of their English and see it as a tool for communication rather than something with deficits. A good English user is defined as someone who communicates successfully with others regardless of accent or background. Students are encouraged to think of their audience and edit their writing for clarity. Taking control of one's English involves using it confidently while being patient and open-minded with other English users.

Esp unit 1
This document discusses the origins and development of English for Specific Purposes (ESP). It began after WWII with the increased demand for English in technology and commerce. Researchers found language varies by context, leading to the idea of tailoring English courses to specific needs like engineering or business. ESP grew in the 1960s-70s, mainly focusing on English for science and technology. Later, the approach shifted to discourse analysis and recognizing textual patterns. Needs analysis and communicative syllabus design were also important developments that focused on learners' communication purposes and settings. The learning-centered approach is concerned with language learning rather than just language use.

L1 (English) To L2 (French) Transfer The Question Of Nasalization
This study investigated L1 (English) to L2 (French) transfer of nasalization. It found that:
1) Accuracy decreased in informal oral tasks but increased in formal reading tasks over time.
2) Nasal /a/ vs. /o/ caused more issues in oral tasks, while nasal /e/ was harder in reading.
3) Longer treatment improved recall of nasals in reading more than oral conversation. Formal reading tasks led to better retention of French nasals over time compared to informal speaking.
L1 (English) To L2 (French) Transfer The Question Of Nasalization
This study investigated L1 (English) to L2 (French) transfer of nasalization. It found that:
1) Accuracy decreased in informal French tasks but increased in formal tasks like reading.
2) Students struggled more with distinguishing nasal /a/ and /o/ in informal speech and nasal /ε/ in reading.
3) Longer treatment improved recall of nasals in formal reading tasks over time, but did not significantly impact informal speaking tasks. Formal tasks benefited more from increased exposure and practice with nasals.

How to learn french
Beginning learning French can appear to be terrifying at first.
Words on the page can appear to be so unique from how they're talked and articulating these bizarre words can feel like an unimaginable errand. Be that as it may, in spite of the fact that it may not appear to be so at, to begin with, French isn't an especially troublesome dialect for English speakers to learn.
French isn't as firmly identified with English as the Germanic dialects however despite everything it has a considerable measure in like manner which can enable you to begin.
Third session
This document provides an outline for an English language lesson plan titled "Third Session". It includes the following sections: a 5-minute warm-up to review the previous session; pronunciation exercises focusing on /s/ vs /z/ sounds and tongue twisters; a grammar section on past simple vs past continuous tenses; a reading on multicultural English followed by discussion questions; a listening activity about endangered languages and a bingo game; speaking activities like small group discussions and a role play of a doctor's visit; and final tasks including creating a digital poster or short presentation. The lesson plan aims to develop students' English skills through interactive exercises and topics about language, culture and multiculturalism.
Portugal
This document discusses language education in Portugal. It notes that Portugal is a monolingual country where Portuguese is the official language, spoken by around 10 million people. While Portuguese is dominant, there are nine recognized minority languages. The education system makes the learning of foreign languages compulsory, with students required to learn English and French in primary school, and additional languages in secondary school. The document also describes a pilot project using Content and Language Integrated Learning to teach subjects like history in English, finding it improved students' language skills and motivation. However, teachers faced challenges with lack of training and resources for this educational approach.
Bilingualism in France
Here are some proposed activities that integrate languages in a bilingual course for indigenous children in the Amazonas region of Colombia:
- Storytelling in the indigenous languages with vocabulary introduced in Spanish and English. Students retell stories in the other languages.
- Songs and games with repetitive phrases in all four languages (indigenous, Spanish, Portuguese, English) to build familiarity.
- Projects where students interview family members and community elders to document aspects of their culture and traditions, presenting findings in their indigenous language with translations.
- Having students teach each other simple phrases and greetings in their various indigenous languages to promote appreciation of linguistic diversity.
- Lessons that highlight the shared vocabulary between languages, such as number and

This document provides an introduction to teaching English as a foreign language. It discusses some of the challenges that both teachers and students may face when dealing with different nationalities and cultures. While foreigners have some advantages like being exotic and having easy conversation topics, truly understanding a new culture and community can be difficult. Both foreign teachers and students will inevitably encounter cultural differences and misunderstandings. The relationship between foreigner and native requires an awareness of these challenges.
enga10_unit2_test1.docx
The document is a listening comprehension test on the topic of languages. It includes two listening passages - one about the status of the English language globally, and another about how different individuals learned languages. There are also multiple choice and short answer questions to test comprehension of the passages. The test addresses topics such as how language influences thought, challenges to the dominance of English, and different methods for learning languages independently.
THE GOALS OF LANGUAGE TEACHING.pptx
Language teaching can be described as teaching people a foreign language so that they can understand and speak the language. The goals of ELT or language teaching are both far-reaching and highly individualized. This is because most of the answers on why
a person would like to learn a second language come
from the individuals involved. Although most of the
reasons may be individualized, some of the reasons are
universal. These include the idea that English language
is one of the global languages spoken in a large number
of countries worldwide. From a general perspective,
people cite various reasons for learning this language
that include but not limited to the future of one’s career,
travelling reasons especially in countries that speak
English, to gain a better comprehension of the ways of
life experienced in the countries where the language is
spoken, and to be able to live in a country where the
language is spoken.
The external goals relate to the usage of the
learnt language outside of the classroom context. This
could be usage of the language while travelling around
or when using the language in trains. It can also be seen
when an individual attends lectures in another country
or when surviving in a country as a refugee. These contexts represent the usage of a language to fulfill the external category. On the side of the internal category, the
goals are related to the individual’s mental development. After learning the second language, the individuals may begin thinking differently, start approaching
language from a different perspective, and become better citizens because of the effects of learning a new language. This is because a new language can have diverse
effects on the learners’ minds (Nunan and David 48-52).
While the L1 language may train the brain, the L2 can
increase the individual’s awareness. In most instances
and for most individuals, external reasons dominate the
language teaching methodology. Self-development is
also a key reason of learning a second language.
FrenchorSpanishv2
This document discusses factors to consider when choosing between studying French or Spanish. It notes that while Spanish pronunciation may be easier, French grammar is simpler. Both languages require regular study and mastery of new concepts like verb tenses. Key factors include a student's interests, career goals, cultural heritage, and potential for international travel. Studying either language can benefit future education and career opportunities given the prevalence of French and Spanish around the world.

The top three strategies identified were using the language in daily life, memorization, and translation. Setting up different learning strategies and practicing were emphasized as important to becoming proficient in a foreign language.

How to be a successful foreign language learner
The document discusses strategies for learning French as identified by a survey of students at the English and Foreign Languages University. The survey found that students primarily used entertaining methods like watching movies, listening to music, online chatting, and playing games to learn French. However, they also utilized other strategies such as reading books and newspapers, using dictionaries, translating, and attending online tutorials and language schools. The most effective approach seems to be combining enjoyable tactics with more formal learning methods.
