Valeria Rodríguez Castro's curator insight, August 7, 2018 11:15 PM
Besides the several advantages learning a new language has, it also helps improve the second language learners’ communicative skills. In this way, being able to communicate in a language is not only using words to create a message, communication is knowing what to say and how, when, and under which circumstances and contexts to say it. Learning a new language is not only learning a different way of speaking but understanding how L2 utterances are performed among their speakers according to their cultural and social features.
Camila Restrepo's curator insight, November 20, 2020 10:20 AM
To begin with, it is really important to understand that the learning process is not the same for all, it can change in multiple aspects. When I started to learn English, I remember that I have to solve tasks that didn’t help me a lot in my process because they not demanded thinking or analyzing about the language; however, it was expected that I acquired it for completely because I was learned it at an early age and some people related this with the age factor  and with the critical period hypothesis.
 Nevertheless, I think that one of the most important things that have helped me to understand and improve my English are the factor of motivation due to the fact that it is not the same, learning something because you have to do it to learning something because you want to do it. When you are conscious of your academic process it is easier to comprehend and establish goals that help you to enhance what you are learning and this is related to the motivation that can be extrinsic or intrinsic and in my case, it was my passion for learning and to know about other cultures that motivated me to continue studying English. 
 Another factor that significantly impacted my learning process was autonomy. Being aware of what we are learning and the ways that help make our process more effective means that we must assume more responsibility to improve. At the same time, being aware of the process in which we are and working to achieve the goals that are being sought, falls only on us. As students, recognize this, is the first step to have an effective development and also take into account what Hammer stated (2015) that it is important that the student learns not to depend on the teacher to perfect and improve the language skill. These are the elements to success because there are many aspects outside the way of teaching that affect learning, one of them, for example, are the learning strategies that we implement in the academic life. In my case I learned that it was necessary to know the strategies that helped me to improve weak aspects of my second language and to relate them to the ways in which I was learning faster. For example, I am a very visual person and I began to use colors in my notes to record what I had to study which led me to improve in different skills. 
 In this way, we can say that factors such as motivation, autonomy are supremely important for the process of learning a second language and that being clear about the goals that we want to achieved are the steps that are going to helps us to have a successful learning process. In my process I have seen myself back in numerous attempts to learn the language effectively; however I understood that the only way to do it was by learning about what worked for me, and that I could not compare my learning process with the process of others, because there is where everything starts fail. Today, I continue learning about this language in order to be prepared to teach it in a future and to share with others the incredible path of learning a second language.

It is important to understand that Biligualism affects not only one aspect of our lives. On the contrary, it benefits many aspects of our lifes such as social interactions, economic staff, mental condition, health, among other. For this reason , this article is very relevant since it provides crucial information about how second language learning can hel us to improve our communicative skills which are very important for communication and the life itself. It is fundamental to remmember that communication is a natural process in terms of human interactions, and this study provides us relvant information about the advantages of bilingualism related to communication skills.
