Good evening dear tutor and classmates,


Dear Miguel, congratulations you shared your video on time and it is complete. Although it is short you gave a good explanation and it has the elements so that we all understand the purpose of the article, I think you could have added more information, however, it is very good.


If I am honest, the subject of this article is a little difficult to understand and, in my case,, I had to read it several times to better understand each hypothesis and related contexts.


As I understood, there is a close relationship between attention and memory in cognitive learning, since as we know there are many investigations that affirm that attention, both voluntary and involuntary, are what allows learning.


Learning allows something to be transformed into memory, and memory, in turn, affects what we are going to focus our attention on. This is why motivation plays an effective role when it comes to learning meaningfully.


I recommend you take into account the tutor's suggestions so that the video explains why the article you chose is a case study and what elements are presented. I congratulate you again.


Blessings.


Warmest regards,

Dear Miguel, Thank you for sharing the information in your article. Your presentation is good and helps us to understand the information because you speak clearly and pause when speaking; you mention the process of acquiring a second language and the active participation or the role that awareness would play in the process of learning the L2.


In my opinion, before your selected article, awareness is something we can define as part of the emotions and we do not involve it in a process of learning and acquiring a second language. The article you selected is very interesting and it was something I hadn't stopped to think about when I was learning, today it combines the expression of linguistic awareness or reflective, critical, and analytical learning.


Look for the definition of awareness and say "Awareness is the ability of the human being to recognize himself, to have knowledge and perception of his own existence and his environment", i.e. when the individual is aware of his capabilities, needs and uses the learning of the L2 to get involved in his life and his environment, he gives more value and acquires learning with the question of a "why" and "what for" and by giving answers to his questions he finds meaning and this facilitates the learning process.


Thanks.

Dear classmate Miguel:


I consider that the topic you chose is very interesting, because it talks about the role of conscience in the development of a second language, which is vitally important, since it allows us to establish how conscience can influence the learning of a second language; Likewise, I consider that motivation plays a necessary role in obtaining and managing new vocabulary.


Likewise, cognitive processes play a necessary role, which allows human beings to possess learning skills according to their mental processes.

  

Thanks for sharing the video.


Good night,


HEIDI
