Methodology

What did I understand Today?

Methodology is commonly used interchangeable in method and pedagogy .
Methodology denotes of the system or range of methods used in learning  and method is a set of practices and procedures. The difference between method and pedagogy is that methodology is narrowly and more dogmatic and its applications with theorical insights.
Methodology is a system which comprises the practices and procedures which are applied to a specific part of knowledge.

How is this connected to my future?
Teachers need to have methods , procedures and practice. So without methodology I can`t teach.
Teachers of English as a second language need to know a few simple methods to overcome the language barrier with their students.

What are 3 concepts I would highlight
 from this lesson?

-Process
-Methods
-Learning Experiences

Second Language acquisition 

Second Language acquisition is a natural and gradual process or artificial conscious process.It's an additional language by someone who has already learned a native language or multiple natives languages.I think children have an easier time learning a second language, but anyone can do it at any age. It takes a lot of practice!
Acquisition is used to refer to the gradual development of ability in  a language by using it naturally in communicative situations with others who know the language. The term learning , however, applies to a more conscious process of accumulating knowledge of the features , such as vocabulary and grammar f a language typically in an institutional setting.

Three important concepts:

-Communicative Approaches
-Motivation
-Learning
