How the perspective can
help me improve my
students’ learning process
By motivating my Ss and
make them engage with the
subject by teaching different
parts of culture or music to
influence in their wiling to
learn.
I will help to improve their
second language ability by
using additive bilingualism
and help them to improve
the language switching from
their L1 to L2.
By using this advantage with
my Ss for not to use L1 in the
classroom and improve their
L2 as much as I can to help
them achieve a native
knowledge.
By helping them to develop
their L2 surrounding to
achieve the fluency in their
L2 and been able to practice
it.
