Barriers to acquire english language ...

It's said that there's a great difference in learning english language and acquiring it.  You can learn english language in different ways, improving your vocabulary, studying complex grammar structures, writing, reading, between others, where knowledge is the central target but of an artificial process.  Meanwhile acquiring english language is a natural process, where reality takes place, where fluency and social interaction in english language have a fundamental role which is different from the other process.

The idea is to acquire english language and for this reason  we have to fight with many barriers to acquire it.  One of them is the artificial environment that  we are expose to, there's a great difference in acquiring language in a natural setting from an artificial setting.  Motivation is another barrier in this case, it can be linked to the first barrier that I mentioned you, if you have an scenary where you can interact with natural sounds, maybe you will be more motivated than in the other case.  Other barrier is The Affective Factor (personality) which a person who is interested in acquiring english language can be affected, maybe long periods of time working with an exhausted schedule ( between other factors ) don't let him (her) to be in a good condition to acquire language.  Our first language, our mother tongue,  is another barrier, because we often use it to communicate our needs and Insuficient hours ( another barrier ) to interact and practise  in a second language are present in our daily routines, after all, not all people here in Chile know english language.  Apart from that, there are others barries which are present in our life to acquire english language, one of them is The Communicative Competence which suggest us to use english language in an appropiate way instead of making mistakes.  Interlanguage is other factor which occurs in our daily routine to acquire english language, It is a gap which is produced between L1 and L2.  And finally Other Things Go On, which are present in our everyday routines.

After all, like future english teachers, we have the complex task to create a natural environment where our pupils are motivated, they can forget their problems, and they can interact in a social way to acquire english language, also they can understand that there's a great difference in learning english and acquiring it, with the purpose to invite them to live english language from the reality. (reading articles from the newspapers, magazines, listening tv programs, interacting in social ways with native speakers, etc) Finally the idea is they can build their own knowledge like a natural process, where english language becomes part of their life.
