This week, we looked at the different ways a person's culture can influence the way they learn a language. Do they have previous biases, positive or negative, about speaking more than one language? How is language acquisition seen in their community or home? Is speaking a second (or third) language something common or uncommon in the area from which they come?
So many factors affect language acquisition. By exploring the different funds of knowledge each student brings to a classroom, a teacher is better able to plan lessons and assignments in a way that will reach them. For part of this week's assessment, the teachers were asked to create lessons that promoted cultural discussion and inclusion in the classroom.
