As
we did before, Zineb and I have made the work together again. This is
because since the first day, we get on very well.
We enjoy all the
time that we spend doing homeworks and, like one of the lasts works
that all of we have to upload, we wanted to make it together to
celebrate it.
We hope that
nobody feels annoyed because of that and we want that all of you
enjoy our work.
Zineb, thank you
so much for being like you are!
And like we did
last time, my part of the writing is on bold type, and Zineb's
writing is without bold.
It starts...
It is said
that the use of new technologies stimulate children for learning lots
of school skills like the learning of a second language. But why?
How? And when?
It is difficult
to learn a new language, especially if you are an adult. The best
time to learn a language is when we are children. For that reason we
have to take advantage of that age.
There are
lots of advantages and disadvantages to traditional teaching. Among
others, most of them are the following ones.
On the one hand,
learning a new language can bring us problems. For example, when I
enrolled to learn German I left it in the first year. The reason for
this was that every time I tried to speak English I used words of
German. Finally I decided to stop learning German and focus on
English.
On the other
hand, learning a new language makes you more competent. You don’t
need a translator or a dictionary. In addition, speaking a new
language implies understanding a lot of words of some languages of
the same family. For example if you learn Spanish you can understand
a lot of words of French, Catalan, Italian…
Nowadays, new
tecnologies can help us to learn more.
Firstly,
teachers can help their students in a more idividualized way with the
use of websites, blogs and many other internet tools that stimulate
learning. Fact that couldn't be carried out with the traditional
system because of the huge number of children that a teacher had in
class.
Moreover, the
use of new technologies develops students autonomy and encourages
children to learn a second language too. This happens because lots of
websites appear in English and children must learn English in order
to understand the information. Besides, the studens have to compare
lots of sources of information.
In conclusion,
is obvious that it is important to learn a new language. It is also
obvious that all these have many benefits. But in my opinion, as we
have said before, we have to take advantage of the first ages to
learn a lot of languages, at least three or four.
Therefore, I
think that new technologies are a great tool to develop sudents
learning because internet has more information than books and then
children can look at different sites to find what they are searching
for. But, on the other hand, students mustn't forget that books
contain a great treasure too.
