Chapter 2: Theoretical Approaches to Explaining SLL By Lec. Samarnh Pang
Approach: • Theories-> Describe how language is used. • Source of Practices-> Offer model for language competence • Principles in language teaching
Method: • Practical Realization of an approach • Decisions including procedures & techniques for tasks/activities
Procedure: • An order sequence of techniques • Ex. First you do this, than you do that…
Technique: • Usually a single activity rather than a sequence (not procedure) • Ex. Silent viewing
Model: • a standard or goal for the learner, e.g. the pronunciation of an educated native Speaker.
DQ: What your methods for learning?
Learner Characteristics • Knowledge of another language • Cognitive maturity • Metalinguistic awareness • Knowledge of the world • Nervousness about speaking
DQ: Discuss your learning conditions
Learning conditions • Freedom to be silent • Ample time • Corrective feedback: grammar and pronunciation • Corrective feedback: word choice • Modified input
DQ: How to learn a second language (L2)?
DQ: Compare and Contrast: Learning L1 Vs. Learning L2
Discuss • Reinforcement • Habit formation • Contrast Analysis Hypothesis (CAH) • Target Language
2. Innatism Discuss the roles of Grammar in Spoken English and in Written English.
Universal Grammar (UG)? • What roles does UG play in L1 acquisition?
Why is Critical Period (CP) essential to language learning/acquisition?
You can define… • Language Competence Vs. Language Performance
1. The Acquisition—Learning Hypothesis • What does Krashen argue?
2. Monitoring Hypothesis • What are the roles of Monitor?
3. Natural Order Hypothesis • What does he argue?
4. The Input Hypothesis • Comprehensible Input • i + 1
5. The Affective Filter Hypothesis • What can this suggest?
3. Psychological Theories What is information processing? What do you know about Processing Space?
Discuss the sequence Language Information Practice Restructuring Automaticity
