  2. Theories Language Acquisition

  3. Do Children Learn through Imitation?

  4. Do Children Learn through Correction and Reinforcement?

  5. Pre-linguistic stage (birth to six months): The baby cries, coos, laughs, and makes other sounds. • Babbling (six to 12 months): The baby makes nonspecific sounds from all human languages. • One-word (holophrastic) stage (1 year): The child speaks single words in isolation, in his or her first language. • Two-word stage (24 months): The child forms two-word phrases or strings that reflect the language being acquired. The vocabulary increases; the child begins to learn words at the rate of one word every two waking hours. • Telegraphic speech (30 months): Children begin to utter short phrases like telegraph messages, without formal grammatical structure. • Fluent speech (three years +): The child learns grammar and syntax (patterns of sentence formation) with surprising rapidity and accuracy; sentences increase in length and complexity. Stages in Language Aquisition

  6. Pre-linguistic Stage

  7. Brrrr, brrrr, bbbb, dadada, lala… Babbling

  8. Up! Down! Cheerios! Holophrastic or Word Stage

  9. Hi Mommy! More wet Bye bye boat Two Word Stage

  10. Cat stand up table • What that? • Andrew want that. • No sit there. • Ride truck • Show mommy that Telegraphic Stage

  11. I like to play with something else Look mommy, how I climb I know what to do Language Explosion

  12. The Acquisition of Pragmatics

  13. Each participant has one paper and pencil • Each participant writes one sentence and passes the paper to the right. • Read the narrative on the paper you received and write a sentence to go with that narrative. • Continue this process until the facilitator calls time. Write around

  14. The process of language acquisition is fast, but it is not instantaneous. Language Acquisition Write Around

  15. Bilingualism vs. Second Language Acquisition

  16. Behaviorist Nativist Functional Theories of Language Acquisition

  17. Acquisition – Learning Hypothesis • Monitor Hypothesis • Natural Order Hypothesis • Input Hypothesis • Affective Filter Hypothesis An Innatist Model: Krashen’s Input Hypothesis

  18. At your table, write one question about second language acquisition on an index card. • Hand in the cards. Number the groups. • Listen to the question and discuss it at your table finding consensus on one answer. • The number called will report the answer. Numbered Heads Together
