Anyone Who Speaks The Language Can Teach The Language

The document discusses the requirements for teaching a language effectively. While it is important to have a deep understanding of the subject matter, merely speaking the language is not enough to teach it well. Good language proficiency alone does not guarantee the ability to teach grammar structures, vocabulary, listening, reading, and other key elements. Drawing on theories of language teaching and her own experience trying to teach Spanish, the author argues that specialized teaching techniques and methodology are also needed beyond just proficiency in the language itself.

language we have to say that it is important to have a good proficiency for using it as way

to share some teaching. Grammar structures, vocabulary, listening skills, reading

comprehension skills etc. These elements in language teaching acts like the subject

mentioned above, and are as important as the vehicle to transmit them. In this case the

language.

According to the theories learned in this module the language talk teachers use in the

classroom is very important for students comprehension and it is also important that these

teachers manage the language properly which, requires a good proficiency in the language

spoken due to, the teacher can chose the appropriate words, and language structures

according to the target group he or she teaches.

According what I said before, I am no agree with the statement Anyone who speaks the

language can teach the language. And I have realized this in my own teaching experience, I

speak Spanish and I consider I have an excellent proficiency in my mother tongue, but when I

have tried to teach some Spanish concepts, I have had to look for help in some Spanish books

and ask to some Spanish teachers. This is because I have not Spanish teaching techniques.
