TASK 1A: Defining Concepts.

Language.

Language is a form of communication that humans use to convey some sort of message in our society is essential to preserve and transmit their culture to the next generation instrument; the language has a set of skills which enable people to communicate properly in their academic work and daily lives.

Learning.

Learning is a process which allows the development of every human being, for correct learning is necessary to create a series of instructional strategies in this way new changes that will result in an evolution will be obtained. Thus as time passes change the way of transmitting knowledge.

Teaching.

It is a mechanism through which knowledge to different generations are transmitted, seeking a transformation of the human being , allowing different skills are developed, to make the teaching different methods and resources in this way are used the teaching process be improved in different areas.

TASK 1B: Vygotsky’s philosophy

Constructivism is recognized as an inclusive process philosophy, the student is given the tools to build their knowledge. Education establishes a paradigm where the teaching is perceived and carried out dynamic and participatory way, is where the student does not transit through the traditionalism of education but changes are generated in the methodologies and academic and curricular processes an institution.

Lev Vygotsky brings in the theory of constructivism participation and development of facts appropriating culture, especially oral language. The instruction process requires adaptations and changes of different approaches. That is, in the classroom, when it begins to teaching a new language is taken as reference socialization that allows express the student prior knowledge about cultural and general aspects of speaking countries that language.

EJEMPLO: When the English language is recognized in the classroom as teachers we cover items that contextualize the student, in USA English spoken, big cities and there the capital of the world New York is. This allows students to manifest their knowledge before and is interested in learning a new language.

So from my experience as a teacher I can illustrate the importance of prior knowledge of my students in a building process giving rinse the following contributions knowledge: Jean Piaget and foreknowledge of the child, Lev Vygotsky, and the theory of Development zone East.

The process of teaching - learning content refers to the themes that will work as a teacher, this teaching model allows reflection of the action, is as teachers investigate and be more critical of our work.
