Journal # 1

Across this journal I want to demonstrate my understanding it brings over of the concepts studied in the class.

The difference between use and usage: I think that the confusion that the persons have on having used the words owes to the adjustments that are given by his meaning. The dictionaries give the same meaning to both words but the difference is in the instructions for use of the words. I understand that it is the reason for which the persons get confused when  use  these words.

The difference between fluency and accuracy: I could understand that accuracy it is the way that the persons have to realize something without wandering and fluency it is the capacity that the persons develop to speak a language fluently. Example:   The difference of speech in the persons born and raised in USA this one learns his language and they manage to develop it without mistakes. A person foreigner manages with the time to speak the language fluently but in few occasions it manages to develop a free conversation of mistakes.

The difference between a functional syllabus and a structural one:  I understand that for functional syllabus that it is a program that his function limits itself to the education of the language since it does not take a grammatical structure.  For structural one could understand that it is a structured program that goes from the simplest thing to the complex thing and one develops in all his aspects as the language and the grammar.
