We, as human beings, have the capacity of changing our behaviour thanks to the adquisition of new knowledges. so, it is important to know besides to have clear the concepts of teaching and learning.

Teaching is transmiting knowledge, it is helping someone to learn how to do something. Teaching, as a process, can be produce in an individual or a group of students. There are some ways knowledge is transfered:

It is External because the process is done from teachers to students, It is Intentional because someone (teacher)wants to give his knowledges to others and It is temporary as a result of a period of time.

Learning is adquiring new knowledges or getting knowledges by experiences or instructions, this process is permanent, individual and continuous.

Its characteristics are:

Durable because learning is a continuous process, Transferable to new situations because we can learn in other enviroments, not just in a classroom and Related to practical activities, new knowledges need to be into practice to consolidate it.

We can teach or learn a new language through three ways:

Behaviorism is about answers to incentives, that is why it is is used to law of exercises, effect and the principle of shapping. Behaviorism has the goal of teaching with structural pattern repeatedly and pupils have to do everything correctly without mistakes.

Cognitivism is about experiences. Give to the learners activities to do and learning with the experience of a new language.

Constructivism is about building. We have to build our own knowledge. Positive affective conditions are important as stimulators.

APPLIED LINGUISTICS

The concept of Applied Linguistics includes its auxiliary sciences such as Phycholological, Psycholinguistics, Sociolinguistics and Ethnography (Anthropological knowledge), the application of these auxiliary sciences gives meaning to the Applied Linguistics.

The most important use is to solve problems about language use, language learning, language teaching and treatment of practical problems.

Every auxiliary science has its specific application:

Those cases where we want to know about human behaviour and the human mind, how mind funtions and why we do things in the way we do them; Psichology must be applied in these cases.

Psycholinguistics is applied in mental processes when a person produces, learns and understands a language, how the psychological factors affect the use of language.

Sociolinguistics studies the language but relationed with social factors such as social class, level of education, age, sex, multilingual communities and lenguage attitude.

When is comparade the life and culture of different societies or ethnic groups, how language is used or learnt in natural environments, Ethnography is the auxiliary science to apply.

PROCRASTINATION

To delay something that must be done is the characteristic of PROCRASTINATION.

The comic on the UNEFM page shows a kid making a snow puppet, as kid he knows he is very young, so he has the rest of his life to finish it. This kid applies the PROCRASTINATION, he does not finish a task in a short time, he lets his activities for later and this attitud is wrong.

sometimes we do not do things when we have to do it, as teachers, it is very dangerous to adapt this attitud. "NEVER PUT OFF TILL TOMORROW WHAT YOU CAN DO T..."
