Disadvantages of using Spanish teaching English

//"//To have another language is to possess a second soul**//.//**//"// (Charlemagne, n.d). Learning a second languge is a very important process for the ones which are involved on it. In the case of spanish native speakers the elements that take part of this process can affect or benefit their second language learning; one example is the use of spanish in the class by the teacher, most of the times it is not helpful for the learner, and teachers have to be abble to go beyond with the elemental tool which is the English. Because teacher uses spanish while teaching English, __Students__ tend to get confused with both languages, so __teacher__ must talk just in L2 and avoid to translate, teacher should create a real context in cla__ss. In a__ddition, teacher can use games or songs to motivate ss to feel secure to talk in English. **//__Your thesis statement should be one sentence.__//**

In the English learning process,the teacher speaks in English besides the provocation of lazyness, students get confused with the use of both languages. The English learner will always try to translate every single word or phrase into their mother tongue as the teacher does. According Littlewood (2009), **//"//**some reports show that teachers use L1 in an extensive way, so this make us think that students are learning English through L1 and not through English which is not the best way". People learn their mother tongue by listening and trying to speak it, so how do we pretend to teach English through out our mother tongu__e? .__ The teacher needs to find the appropiate words in English to be understood easily by the learner and try to avoid translations which can provoke confusion to the student. Another aspect is that the teacher has to keep in mind that the use of L1 is the very last resort to explain or clarify something.

Teaching English by creating a context can be many times difficult for the teacher, but most of the times it is useful for the student. According Rolin-Ianziti (2008), some students feel without motivation while learning English within a context and using L1; English teachers guide the students' learning through a context which can help students to have a better understanding of the language and motivation to learn it without using L1. Creating a context is not just to have a good rapport with studen__ts,It i__s also __linked w__ith the fact to find the appropiate activities for the topic and the students profile. __Moreover teacher__ can feel relax and supported with all the helpful elements that using a context can give to the teacher in order to have a better develop during the class.

In all educational processes__,__students need to have a good environment which helps to learn better and feel security. **//__You started another paragraph here. Watch your spacing.__//** "Students need a nurturing environment where they feel secure about learning, where the goal is success for every student and where students are confident..." (N/A, 2012). English learning is not the exception,students need to feel secure to participate in the class and also feel motivated to speak in a language they are begining to be exposed;the fact that students do not use L1 can make them feel insecure, but there are some activities or methods that can help students to feel really involve and secure in their second language learning process. **//__Runon sentence.__//** These activities can be songs or games. Songs __are kind of part of the life__ of the student and according to the students profile teacher can find a correct song for them, __and involve them in class making feel secure__ to use or understand the L2. In the same way, games are helpful tools to involve the students in the language __and give them__ security. In addition, they are fun and make students feel relax.

As a conclusion, learning a second language is a process in which the use of L1 has to be a last resource to learn it, since students need to be as much as possible exposed to the language and practicing as much they can. Teacher plays an important role in this learner's process and for this reason teacher has to be abble to make changes, to experiment and be prepared as much as possible to teach a target language by the target language.
