Debate activity

Between the 19 and 23 of March we perform a debate between ourselves. The idea was to practise for the speaking presentation we were going to have. In order to do the debate we make pairs and all debates focused on one main topic that was:


"Humans are born with an ability to create language" vs. "Language is a learnt construct like the rules governing a sport"


For this activity I work with Garcia and I had to defend that language is a learnt construct like the rules governing a sport.Although we were like the other point of view in class, I didn`t have much trouble to came with some good arguments. For example to defend it I said that if we think for example of a baby that became islated from the world and have never here a word, maybe he will try to communicate, but he would not learn any real world or language as we know it cause he doesn't have someone to teach him. I think that the activity was very good and I really enjoy it and think that is was very useful for everyone to practise their speaking skills.
