Vocabulary Difficulties

One problem when teaching these areas is the different agendas of language-related professionals.
teachers have very practical preoccupations. Consequently, the pedagogical training they receive is
sometimes ineffective and they may be unable to change the beliefs they have constructed about
learning and teaching.

Also, it is easy to transfer pedagogical principles from Spanish to English or vice versa when someone
has training as a FL teacher, so this just left me the obvious task of learning more about the teaching
of Spanish and then working on the specifics of each language. For instance, teaching
pronunciation in Spanish might appear easier due to the phonetic nature of the language (there is
a correlation between each consonant and vowel and the way to pronounce it). Or teaching
English syntax might look simpler due to the absence of the complex verb conjugations of Spanish.
However, both languages are lingua francas and their presence in so many countries all over the
world poses a challenge in terms of their rich variety of dialects.
