I have had many experiences learning English in Puerto Rico. I chose three factors that I thought were really important and that influenced my learning of English. These three are: the use of my prior knowledge of English, the teachers and the parents. All of these three factors were really important to me, but the most important one was the parents.
Because I was born in the USA I had a base of the English language, although I used to speak Spanish more often. I think that the fact of having a prior knowledge of the English language helped me acquire a stronger knowledge and develop my skills at school. Another factor that helped me to learn better English were my teachers.
My English teachers used to motivate me to develop my English skills more than they did with other students. I think they did this because they knew that I understood the class more than others. Believe it or not almost all of the vocabulary I have learned, I learned it from my English teachers at school. Even though the English teachers that I had didn’t emphasize the correct pronunciation, I did learn lots of vocabulary words and to speak and write correctly (syntax and grammar). This helped me to communicate with others English speaking people. Thanks to my parents I also learned how to pronounce correctly the English language.
My parents were the ones who helped me learn how to pronounce well in English and also taught me some English vocabulary. I think that the parents are the most important one, because even though teachers try to motivate students at school, learning should begin at home. My parents helped me not only with my studies and my homework, but they also used to practice speaking English a lot at home. This is the reason why I began to love English; this is a great motivation and an example for kids, when the parents show something they want their children to learn. If the parents don’t do so, or don’t motivate the students to have a positive attitude towards English, they will probably not be as interested in English as they should be. This could also happen even if the teacher is a great one which motivates students, because it would be the student’s problem and not the teacher’s. So a necessary factor when learning is the parental involvement in the students learning process.
To conclude, all these factors are important in the English Learning process and I hope that I could keep on counting on these three factors to improve even more my English learning every day.
