Stephen Krashen is a linguistics professor at the University of Southern California. He is known for his theory of second language acquisition. This theory draws upon psychology, linguistics and educational theory. He is an Emeritus Professor of Education at the University of Southern California known for his theory of second language acquisition. He's also the cofounder of the Natural Approach, as well as the creator of sheltered subject matter teaching. He's the author of books on the subject of second language acquisition. Second language acquisition is the process of learning a second language different from your native language. Stephen Krashen's theory is used primarily in the United States across ESL (English as a second language) classrooms. Despite its influence across the country, it's regularly criticized for its lack of scientific research and de-emphasis on grammar. I like the tips he gives for learning a second language. They are very practical and logical. For him, the acquisition of a second language will occur only if the learner is exposed to samples of the meta language that are beyond his present level of linguistic competence.

Level 3 - Post 2 (week 4) Why did you choose this career/study programme? Write about: - your dream jobs when you were a child - other career options that you had at the moment of applying to university - what made you decide in the end - your experience at university until now - the kind of job you would like to have  > word count: 130 words  > don't forget to leave comments on 3 of your classmates posts and on your teacher's post as well.    My career. When I was a child, I used to dream of being a truck driver. Obviously, my parents recommended studying something with 'more future'. I never understood that. After finishing my secondary education, I had to choose a career. I had a lot of possibilities: dentistry, lawyer, painter, etc. However, something  that I wrote in a copybook when I was in primary school was definite: I wanted to be a teacher of English. Coincidence?, destiny? I don't know. The only thing I am clear about is that I have...

BLOG 6 Free topic related to the career. A reflection on any aspect of it. 170 words Changing Lives and Caring Too Much Teaching is a profession where you really can make a difference in a child’s life, oftentimes profoundly. You are with children for a good part of the day, longer than their parents are, in most cases. Young children, especially, will look at you as a role model and repeat what you say and do. You often may help a teen struggling to figure out what career path to take. You could also be lucky enough to become the teacher everyone remembers as the one who cared enough to make a difference. However, making a difference in children's lives takes tremendous dedication and hard work. Teaching can be an exhausting job; physically, mentally and emotionally. You are with other people's children longer than you are with your own family. It is hard not to take the needs of the children in your class home with you, and the emotions that go along with that.

BLOG 5 A photograph. Its story . Share a photograph with us and write about its story. All the implicances around it.  220 palabras                                                       This photograph is full of symbolism. There you can see my son with his kinesiology doctor. She is Argentinian and when she received my son he was only crawling with no hope of walking. Everybody told us that he would never walk due to a brain stroke when he was born. However, she said, "do you allow me to use all the necessary tools and methodology to help him? Do you promise not to cry when he may cry? Do you commit to be regular when exercising? "We decided to go ahead because the only thing he wanted was to walk. She helped him to be stronger and positive, to fjght frustration and keep smiling no matter the pain or how tired he could be.
