Perspectives of Bilingualism in Second Language Acquisition
Primlyn, A. Linda
Indian Journal of Applied Linguistics, v39 n1 p131-139 Jan-Jun 2013
This paper reports on the problems faced by students in the second language classroom. It focuses on their integration of social and cultural aspects in language learning, because every language is an amalgamation of both. The author adds that the learner of a second language finds difficulty in learning the culture of the first language and it requires understanding, skills, and various techniques to get the mastery. Teaching is more than just imparting knowledge to students--students must learn to speak fluently in their personal lives, future workplaces, social interactions, and political endeavours. The article discusses remedies for cutting across issues such as globalization, communication skills, language socialization, influence in language learning, motivation, advantages and disadvantages in using Bilingual Methods, and the need for practice.
