Download as ppt, pdf0 likes430 views
This document discusses cognates, which are words that share common spelling and pronunciation in two languages. It provides examples of English-Spanish cognates like "doctor" and "hospital". Cognates can help students begin to bridge the language gap. However, there are also false cognates that have different meanings, like "embarrassed" and "rope". The document suggests making a list of cognates from lessons and having students find new ones. It also recommends presenting false cognates and having bilingual students explain them. Teachers should write cognates in two columns using different colors and have students continue adding to the cognate poster.

There are two main reasons why learners of English face a serious risk of not making progress at an advanced level: [1] They know enough English already to communicate at a basic level so lack motivation to learn more; [2] The vocabulary and grammar they don't know is rare, so they won't encounter it frequently through everyday use. To continue making progress, learners must devote more time to structured independent study of English through activities like reading, writing, using dictionaries, chatting online, and consciously pushing themselves to use new vocabulary and grammar when speaking and writing. Mistakes made during experimentation are an important part of the learning process. Learners are responsible for driving their own learning beyond what is covered in classUpper pri C - Phonemes and Syllables

Students at a Colombian high school lacked English listening skills. While learning a new language is a long process, listening from an early stage is important. The students had not been exposed to much interaction or listening practice in English in their classes. The teacher spoke exclusively in Spanish.

Cognates are words that are spelled similarly or identically in two languages and have the same or similar meanings. There are many cognates between English and Spanish due to their shared Latin and Greek roots. Cognates can help Spanish learners recognize vocabulary more easily. However, some cognate word pairs have different meanings, so learners should be aware of "false cognates." Cognates provide a shortcut for learning Spanish vocabulary but do not cover all bases on their own.Learn Spanish Vocabulary

When teaching English to Spanish speakers, focused exercises are important to address common errors. These include using the present tense instead of past, omitting articles, improper subject-verb agreement, and omitting third-person subjects. Lessons should provide repetition through activities like worksheets addressing pronunciation of consonant clusters and contractions, filling in articles, circling subjects and verbs, and identifying prepositions in sentences. Consistent practice with exercises that highlight the grammatical differences between Spanish and English can help Spanish speakers overcome challenges in learning English.Writing when english is not my first language viola gjylbegaj

Spanish spoken in Spain and Mexico features notable differences in language use, influenced by social hierarchies and formality rules. Despite these variations, speakers from both countries can effectively communicate, with misunderstandings primarily arising from slang and technological terminology. Key grammatical differences, such as the use of the 'vosotros' tense in Spain versus 'ustedes' in Mexico, highlight the distinctions but do not impede overall understanding.Syntactic Comprehension, Verbal Memory, And Calculation
Syntactic Comprehension, Verbal Memory, And CalculationBarbara Fernandes

The authors analyzed the effects of second language interference on first language abilities in 50 Spanish-English bilinguals living in the US. They examined syntactic comprehension, verbal memory, and calculation abilities in both Spanish and English. Performance was generally better in Spanish than English, and difficulties arose when Spanish syntax differed from English. The study suggests bilinguals may be at a disadvantage in either language due to interference effects, and special testing norms should be established.Proyecto final

Merging spanish and_english_through_cognates
- 1. Merging Spanish and English Through Cognates -one small step-
- 2. What Are Cognates? -Words that share common spelling and pronunciation in two languages
- 3. Here are some examples: English to Spanish doctor -- doctor cereal -- cereal hamburger -- hamburguesa hospital -- hospital class -- cl叩se student -- estudiante rat -- rata lamp -- l叩mpara and the list goes on...
- 4. Why are these helpful? Students can begin to bridge the language gap by learning that many words in the two languages not only share common roots and pronunciation, but also spelling. As students begin to take more risks in language learning, they will feel more comfortable trying out some possible cognates.
- 5. What about false cognates? There are many. Here are just a few: embarrassed -- embarrasada (pregnant) assist -- asistir (to attend) rope -- ropa (clothing) realize -- realizar (to carry out or make happen) pie -- pie (foot) nude -- nudo (knot)
- 6. Make a list As you teach, make a list of cognates that appear in your lessons. Students will begin to do this exercise all the time and will be excited to find new ones.
- 7. What if I don't speak Spanish? If you google "false cognates in Spanish" you will find a wealth of examples. Write down a few that look to be "high frequency-type" words and present them to the class. Bilingual students will latch on to this idea of "cognados."
- 8. Use Two Colors Write English words side by side in a column style, using different colors for each language. Escribe las palabras de inlg辿s y en espa単ol lado a lado, en el estilo de dos columnos. Hay que usar colores distintas por cada idioma.
- 9. Teacher starts the process, students carry it on. You as the teacher will begin to show the students how to write them on the cognate poster. After a few times, they will be solely responsible for doing this.
- 10. There you go! Enjoy making cross-language connections with your students. side note: Monolingual students find this process to be valuable in learning a new language as well.
