Assignment:

ACTIVITY 1

Mention two or three strategies students could use to learn vocabulary. Provide context
and details of students that could use the strategies you have mentioned, optimally.

ACTIVITY 2

Choose two problems of transfer which you consider to be obstacles to efficient

communication. Those problems need to be specific to Spanish and English (that is,
specific to Spanish speakers who are English learners). The problems can either be
segmental or suprasegmental.

FIRST, describe, as precisely as you can, the causes of the problems in phonetic or
phonological terms.

SECOND, explain and illustrate how these problems could be addressed within the
usual framework of a language course - the level, age and type of student presumably
being determined by the type of problem you have chosen. Nonetheless, you should
consider the problems in terms of the three ’E’ variables, and with reference to
Brinton’s five variables, mentioned in Chapter 9.

Important: you have to write your personal details and the subject name on the
cover (see the next page). The assignment that does not fulfil these conditions
will not be corrected. You have to include the assignment index below the cover.
