Linda’s task 1a. Defining concepts of language, learning and teaching.

Hi tutor and peers.

I want to share task 1a. Defining concepts: write your own definition of language, learning and teaching in about 50 words for each one. 

From my point of view, language is the way to interchange information in order to understand each other no matter about what. Some languages can be listed like English, Spanish, French, among many others.  When it’s said that language is systematic, I agree because it is always in construction, people can enrich it by learning more symbols and meanings.

I consider learning is the process of acquiring knowledge in different fields and topics.  In this process is necessary people develop skills in different learning areas; for example if somebody is learning a language like English, the skills must be developed during that process are listening, reading, writing and speaking. What it seems to me more important is that learning transform the people’s way of thinking, acting and doing.

I have realized that teaching is the method a person or teacher uses to transmit specific information to someone else or a group of people. Teaching involves procedures, techniques, processes, didactics, methodologies and theories to take into account when planning, programming, developing and evaluating the classes.  Although there are a lot of theories about teaching, I consider the original print is given by the teacher’s teaching style; this approach must be evaluated by the teacher according to the type of students, level of education, age, among other factors.

Thanks.
