SKPB 1023LEARNING SECOND LANGUAGE WITH MULTIMEDIA

OBJECTIVE

• To inform the students on what are the approaches

used in learning a second language: structural

approach and cognitive approach. The usage of

multimedia also included

• Students who do not speak English as their first

language may face difficulties in learning English. For

that purpose, the reasearchers have found two

approaches which can be applied :

STRUCTURAL APPROACH

COGNITIVE APPROACH

STRUCTURAL APPROACH

Practise is the best way to learn

grammar and vocabulary.

Language is taught by focusing

on the learner’s oral response

towards spoken prompts.

COGNITIVE APPROACH Emphasizes on the interaction

between the learners and the

language. So the language

acquisition turns to an active

process. Instruction is based on

activating prior knowledge. It

allowed the learner to build the

cognitive skills required to

understand, process and interact

with a language.

The effective oppurtunities to learn a second language with the cognitive approach

can be divided into three stages

COMPREHENSIBLE OUTPUT

Students need to be active in any learning activities. At this stage, self correction is included. Just as in the digital environment, text-to-speech program gives the students their rights to self-check their own mistakes and make a correction right away.

Students who always use the second language vocabulary are more engaged in the learning process and receive more information compared to other students.
