Some basic concepts
This article explores the significance of metalinguistic skills in language education. By engaging in activities that awaken awareness of language properties and utilizing a "bypass" logic, students can gain insights into their first language (L1) while exploring unfamiliar languages. This approach fosters reflexivity, allowing learners to step back and analyze language features critically. The manipulation of unknown languages strengthens various metalinguistic competencies and promotes an attentive and reflective disposition towards language phenomena.
