3. The Theory of Second Language Acquisition By robert Ellis

   • principles
     • instructions need to ensure learners develop both a repertaire formulaic expression and a rule-based competance
       • repertoire of formular expressions cater to fluency
       • a rule-based competance cater to complexity and accuracy
     • Instructions need to ensure that learners focus predominantly on meaning
       • semantic ant progmatic
     • instructions need to ensure that leatnes also focus on form
     • instructiona need to be predominantly directed at developing implicit knowledge of L2 while not neglecting explicit knowledge
     • instructions need to take into account the learner's 'builtin syllabas'
     • successful instructed language learning requires extensive L2 input
     • successful instructed language learning requires opportunities for output
     • the opportunity to interact in the L2 is central to develop L2 proficiency
     • instructions need to take of individual differences in learning
     • in assessing learnes' L2 proficiency, it is important to examine as well as controlled production
