Learning a second language
Nowadays, the number of second language
learners is increasing rapidly since the global economy requires knowing more
than one language. Learning a second language helps in getting more promising
jobs as well as getting to know people from different cultures and
countries. For this reason, second language schools and programs are increasing
and you can find them everywhere. These schools/ programs try hard to provide the
academic knowledge and skills of the second language, which takes long time
to become proficient in.
From my personal experience, I think it is difficult to learn a second language effectively in a short time. It takes a long time and L2 schools need to be improved. The effective analysis of data helps these schools/ programs have a better understanding of their weaknesses and strengths. But they also need to observe the classroom instruction and provide accurate feedback for a teacher's performance in order to improve instruction and to adjust the lesson plan. Additionally, I think that the whole society should be encouraged to support L2 learning and build a friendly learning environment.
Parents need to support the L2 learning even if they are not speaking the target language. Native students and other non-native students must realize the importance of setting up a friendly L2 learning environment. Instead of putting too much pressure on second language learners, they should try to control the speed when they communicate with them.
In addition, designing curriculums that address students’ needs plays an important role in motivating students to learn the content of the course. Moreover, teachers can collect students’ writing samples and analyze the assessment data in order to track their progress, and have a clear idea of their learning difficulties and academic needs.
