Perceptions towards teaching English as a Third Language in a Shuar Community

Abstract

This paper aims to explore and identify the best possible way to introduce a third language into the educational curriculum in an environment where students are already bilingual. Qualitative research has been carried out in a specific school to discover the challenges of their language education. According to the findings, students claim to have several difficulties in learning English. Once all the data was analyzed, the second step was to create material to support third language acquisition. The first step is to recognize the importance of English, and the next is to introduce the language in the students' own context and, finally, to consolidate knowledge of the language. This will provide teachers with methods and techniques for a third language acquisition class.
