Semantic boundaries differ across
languages
›German learners of English under-
emphasize contact and over-emphasize
movement for “on”
close translation equivalent of “on” in
German is “auf”, which can denote a
motional meaning like the English word “up”
Result is multiple translations, which
are problematic for the L2 learner

Learning a foreign language is a
attractive task, so many students
spend their entire lives trying to
achieve native-like fluency. They spend
much time studying vocabulary,
phrases, pronunciation, structure, and
so on from textbooks. However,
despite their efforts, they still can not
speak the language fluently.

Students have only a vague goal or reason for learning the
language, which inevitably leads to a lack of motivation to study it.
Also, even if students do have a clear goal, but they study from a
textbook, they will have these same results. They lack motivation
because the topics and situations are focused on the textbook, not
on the individual students. (It is interesting to note that even many
advanced language learners are not confident about what to say or
how to react in some cultural situations). Therefore, NACOS works
together with individual students to help them find a clear direction
for their studies and express themselves in their own personal style.
This creates the necessary motivation for a life-long language
experience.

Students do not realize the difficulties of learning
a foreign language. At first glance, it looks
attractive and easy to obtain, but actually the
language world stretches very far. There seems
to be an endless amount of information to be
learned. When language students see all of this
information, they become overwhelmed and feel
that they can gain confidence only after learning
all of it. So, NACOS chooses a small piece of that
information which is related to the student in
some way and uses it as a focus to study the
new language.

Also, many students can not organize their notes and want to acquire
new information quickly. Because of this, their valuable experiences
and hard work disappear with time. So, NACOS organizes the
activities of each student into a text booklet and advises them how to
use it in their daily lives.
Based on this analysis, in order to solve these problems, the
student's mind set is important. Therefore, they need some time to
think about these problems and find some workable solutions. At
NACOS we address these issues in an individualized Orientation,
which helps students realize that learning a foreign language can be
enjoyable as well as meaningful.

Language difficulties are
common in young children.
A Norwegian study shows
that one in ten children
between six and ten years
old is affected. Language
difficulties can be
problems with
comprehension, oral
expression or use of
language in social
interaction.
For some children, the difficulties disappear during the first year of school,
while for others the difficulties persist and some develop reading and writing
difficulties.

Language difficulties include problems with comprehension, oral
expression and pronunciation. Some may have language difficulties
related to other developmental difficulties such as autism spectrum
disorder or Down’s syndrome, while others have no problems that can
explain their language difficulties.
There are several ways of defining language difficulties, with great
variation in severity. In Norway, language difficulties are divided into three
main diagnostic groups:
Difficulties speaking and expressing language, but with good language
comprehension, (expressive language disorders).
Difficulties with both understanding and expressing language, (mixed
expressive and receptive language disorders).
Difficulties with pronunciation, (phonological disorders).
In addition, language difficulties can include problems with fluency of
speech (stuttering) or voice problems.
