Although all languages differ of each other with their own rules, grammar, syntax and pronunciation in the process of a second language acquisition, the knowledge of L1 (native language) facilitates the learner to transfer the concepts to the L2 (second language).
The second language acquisition theory suggests that one's learning of a second language is affected by his exposures to language models. So, to encourage the learners in the learning process their social and cultural values should be brought as topic of interests to contribute and help them to be motivated and not so anxious facing emotional state in learning a second language.

SUPPLY TEACHER
Today, it was my first day in a primary school as a supply teacher. I observed the method, subject, students behaviour to understand the problems foreigners are facing to acquire English as an Additional Language.
Liza, 10 years old, can communicate, understand instruction, but not able to write and read the task she is doing.
Peter, 12 years old, has the same difficulties.
Three kids are very little, 5 years old. They are learning how to spell, phonetic sounds, and recognize words and pictures. Almost zero of English at all.
Monday morning, I am starting to help them to cope better in the school.
When I was leaving one the students, looked at me, said good bye, opened his hand with a candy for me. It was very sweet of him.

BEHAVE YOURSELF
It is for me, and for you. Think about your students.
How do we tend to behave in some situations?
How the behaviour can affect other people?
First lets understand them.
PASSIVE: you allow people to get what they want. You don't express your needs.
(Ex: Yeah...you can have it.)
AGGRESSIVE: You impose yourself.
(Ex: Give me that!)
MANIPULATIVE: You get what you want.
(Ex: Ok, you have it, I don't need it.)
ASSERTIVE: You express your needs without imposing.
(x: I like it, don't you? Let's share it up?)
