Unit 10: Exposure and Focus on form

This unit was very interesting I learnt important things to be applied in the future. I learnt that some experts say that we can learn a language just through being exposure to it; we have just to hear to the language and then we pick it up. This is interesting because some people say that to learn a new language which is not our mother tongue; we need a professor to guide us and to teach everything about the language. I also believe that we just need to hear a language to be familiar with it but I also believe that we need instruction, someone who can tell us if we are acquiring it right or wrong. I will apply this with my future students; I will play music in English so, they can hear the language and in that way I’m using exposure, and on the other hand I will be also a guide in order to teach grammar structures and all elements we need while learning a second language.
