MY FIRST ENTRY

Learners in one classroom are both similar and at same time different as everybody knows each human being is unique; on the other hand, people can be similar, but not identical. That’s why, teachers must take in to account the different ways in which students learn. Some common differences are age, gender, socio-economic conditions and level of education; however , teachers can find other differences such as cognitive ability ( intelligence), language proficiency levels, motivation for language learning, and personality traits, so the teachers’ duty is discover new techniques or strategies for teaching English without forgetting the macro skills: reading, listening, writing and speaking.

Some studies support the idea that there is a special age for learning a language. Moreover, men and women not only are different physically but also are different mentally, so men and women learn in a different way. Another very important point is the socio –economic conditions; many people can think that it is not true, but it is because nowadays in El Salvador public education is too low; that’s why, private education are becoming in the best choice. However, most people cannot pay this kind of education.

To sum up, some learning differences come from external factors that people cannot change because of the economical system of the country.
