Question

2 factors to consider in promoting learner development in the use of english in the classroom

Answer 1

There are several factors to be considered when promoting learning using English in classrooms. These factors include;

1)     Motivation of the learner – it is important to consider whether the learner enjoys using English in their learning sessions. We need to question whether the learner feels comfortable when English language is the mode of teaching /learning. When they are comfortable with it, they tend to understand and learn faster.

2)     Prior knowledge of the language – while leaners can comprehend a new foreign language, most of them find some difficult in fully understand the concepts of a new language therefore making the learning process slow. Students are also not likely to grasp concepts of the new language such as pronunciation.
