Using Second Language Acquisition mind maps

Start with SLA to explore branches on interlanguage, stabilisation and learning strategies. Follow the connections between terms, then cover the map and try to explain them in your own words. Return to any branch that needs another look.

For a comparison, open L2 learning and teaching. Its branches bring together similarities and differences between first and second language learning. You could use these as prompts for a short summary, then check the map for points you missed.

Move between topics and formats

The maps also offer focused routes into reading, age and errors. Try Second and foreign language reading issues or Mistakes and Errors alongside your notes on those topics. Compare how each map groups its ideas.

When you want to practise recall rather than follow a diagram, switch to flashcards on the unit page. A quiz can help you check your understanding before you revisit a branch. Choose a topic and explore a map.
