Language acquisition and second language acquisition flashcards

The decks cover receptive and expressive language, theories of language learning, learner differences and error correction. Some focus on learning to write or on reading vocabulary. Others introduce terms used in second language acquisition, including input and learner language.

Start with Individual Learner Differences if you want to study cognitive and affective differences alongside learning strategies. For an introduction to second language acquisition terms, try the deck that asks what counts as a second language and what input means. Its questions give you a place to check your understanding of the vocabulary.

Study with the cards

Work through a deck and try to recall each answer before looking at it. Return to cards you find difficult, then compare related terms across decks. If you want to see connections between theories, switch to a mind map on the unit page. For a different kind of check, use a quiz there.

Choose a deck and see which ideas you can explain in your own words.
