Second Language Acquisition Processes and Theories
- Stephen Krashen
- Acquisition-Learning
- requires meaningful interaction with the targeted language
- speakers are concentrated in the communicative act
- product of formal instruction
- comprises a conscious process which results in conscious knowledge about the language
- Monitor Hypothesis
- Explains the relationship between the acquisition and the learning and defines the influence of the latter on the former
- it is the practical result of the learned grammar
- Acts in a planning, editing, and correcting function
- when these three conditions are met: The second language learner has sufficient time at their disposal, They focus on form and think about correctness, and they know the rule
- The monitor of a student would allow them to speak differently with their friends than they would answering a question in the classroom
- The role should be minor, being used only to correct deviations from normal speech, and to give speech a more polished appearance
- Jim Cummins
- BICS/ CALPS
- Basic Interpersonal Communication Skills
- Surface skills of listening and speaking which are typically acquired quickly by many students
- When a student is able to communicate and socialize with language
- Cognitive Academic Language Proficiency
- The Basis for a child's ability to cope with the academic demands placed upon them in various subjects
- It takes 5-7 years for a child to be working on the same academic level of native speakers
- Teachers should not assume that a student, who has attained a skill for communicating in everyday spoken English, has the corresponding academic language proficiency
- Noam Chomsky
- The Theory of Universal Grammar
- The idea that language is innate
- The notion that language acquisition occurs during critical developmental stages
- he believes that the similar grammar rules in different languages are not coincidence
- Language rules are influenced by experience and learning
- But the capacity for language exists without environmental influences
- Human communication is unlike any other species'
- Michael Long
- Focus on Form
- Entails bringing linguistic elements to students' attention within the larger context of a meaning-based lesson
- Anticipates problems in comprehension or production of the target language
- The learner must be aware of the meaning and use of the language features before the form is brought to their attention
- In a French language immersion program in Canada, a group of students who had had years of meaning-focused lessons filled with comprehensible input, their spoken language remained far from native-like with many grammatical errors.
