Aprendizaje natural de lenguas. En el cole, en casa…everywhere!

Childhood is a period of intense cognitive development and rapid learning during which children acquire their knowledge of the world by approaching a wide range of domains.

The first of such domains is language, the learning of which takes place within the social context closest to the children: Their own family. Language is an essential tool that enables us to communicate with others and to participate actively within a common cultural environment; for this reason adult family members support thoughts and actions through language, converting the experiences children live through at home into crucial settings for early language learning.

La motivación en el aprendizaje de una segunda lengua dentro del aula

Motivation is a difficult concept to define, partly because of the wide variety of meanings attached to it. Dörnyei and Ushioda (2013) state that it is impossible to draw a picture that encompasses the concept of motivation as a whole since this does not fit into a single image. However, there is a rather generalised consensus regarding the definition of motivation understood here as human behaviour.
