A Hard Training
If a child gets a basic knowledge and wants to learn something in advance, he or she has to follow a progression which functions step by step without skipping them. Therefore, not only the capacity of learning has to be considered as an important issue but teaching also becomes a vital role in the learning process, and they complement each other. Although human beings have the ability to learn what they want, some topics are easier than others to learn. For that reason, the learning process depends on some factors such as technology, methodology, setting, involvement, high of difficulty and others.
Taking into account my process of L2 acquisition in high school, I did not have any trouble learning it due to the easy topics and poor tools. The setting was comfortable, clean and well-lighted. Although there were around forty female students, the classroom remained silent because of strictness. The teacher typically gave us worksheets in class, and sometimes homework. Besides, she focused on grammar and vocabulary section. There were some problems in this class; one of them was that she spoke Spanish all the time least when we were reading something. Another one was the poor technology because we did not practice listening exercises and speaking. However, in that moment I did not feel worried about and I just enjoyed the class since I like English.
Having Dealt with English at university, it was a hard job and was totally different from my school. Considering the teacher´s behavior, she spoke English all the time, she made us spoke English by preparing short presentations and everyday she gave us homework. The setting was clean and well lighted as my school. However, there were about seventeen students in class. In this class, we had to elaborate laboratories by computer, and to practice more listening activities. Moreover, the topics were more complex than in my school. As a result, I was completed stress out, and I felt shy to involve in the class. Nevertheless, those activities help me understand better this language. Consequently, I did my best and made an effort to tackle those difficulties.
In conclusion, although there are obstacles in life, human beings can do what they want. Moreover, challenges make your spirit alive. In case of education, these learning institutions develop different levels of complexity in the topics. Therefore, engage, setting, technology, methodology and others contribute with a better learning. As a result, if you have the adequate tools and desire to learn something, it will be easier for you to achieve your goals.

  1. I feel really identify with you because I had almost the same English learning process. I am sure you can understand how frustrated I felt when I started this career since, as the same as you I realized I did not have the necessary English knowledge, and it was a hard work to try to reach the same level that my classmates had. I feel really proud of you and really proud of me because, we show that we could do it, and we continue learning in order to improve and create new alternatives to all those children that nowadays are dealing with the same problems we had.
