Question:
I am trying to elaborate a causal model that explains the academic
achievment or the succes in learning English as a foreign language within
the Spanish Educational System (more concretely, in the second cycle of the
Secondary School with students aged 12-14 years) in a contex where there is
no oportunities of practicing the English language outside the classroom.
This model is necessarily complex since we have to keep in mind all the
possible variables (environment, students characteristics, motivation,
teaching contex, etc.), relating some to others and explaining how does it
works.
If you are a teacher of English as a foreign language (or as a second
language), it will be very valuable for me that you make me arrive your
observations concerning this topic.
Answer:
I will find that interesting. I used to teach English in Taiwan, where
there is now an astoundingly high level of English in the general
population.
Yes, let's discuss.
I look forward to the further discussion. One quick question: are there
many opportunities to hear English-language pop music and to watch
English-language movies (subtitled, and NOT dubbed into Spanish) in
Spain?
