Page 51-54 Teaching Language

How do adults become proficient in a second language? I found this reading to be interesting in terms of what scholars think about second language acquisition. Some speculate that second language learning is equivocally taught to individuals and thus pick up on it. Although some may agree on this,i do not. I think second language learning is done by individuals who are immersed in a language even though sometimes it may not be there own culture, it seems that individuals pick up languages in that environment.

  1. Hi Gabe, good thoughts! I think many would agree with you that immersion is a good system.
