  20. Learner Beliefs • Meet a group of friends • Reading

  21. Strategy Victor 9631307

  22. Learning Strategy • Read articles (i+1) • Go to class (activity) • Conversation (practice in a mock situation) • Be in that environment

  23. Memorizing strategy • Making a little story to memorize characters • Using contexts to remember the meanings • Repetition (pronunciation)

  24. How to keep motivated • Remember why you learn the language • Imagine you can speak the language fluently

  25. Connectionism • frequency with which learners encounter specific linguistic features in the input and the frequency with which features occur together • She prefers to associate words with contexts (remember efficiently)

  26. Interaction hypothesis • Modification is needed. • Conversational adjustments can aid comprehension in the L2.

  27. The affective filter hypothesis • “Affect” refers to such things as motives, needs, attitudes, etc. • Most of her classmates dropped the class because the tones are difficult.

  28. Difficulties Wicia 9631333

  29. ㄔ ㄘ ㄖ… Difficulties Q: What sounds in Mandarin do you have difficulties with? A: Sound: phonetic alphabet Ex: 吃魚→She can’t speak correctly. (CPH) Her own tip: speak quickly and sound can be better four tones →水餃 睡覺

  30. Questions Q: In English sentences, people put a / an / the in front of one subject. Do you find it difficult to use the proper one in Mandarin? A: 一根木頭 一條手帕… “個” is easier to be used

  31. Questions Q: What is the most difficult thing for you when you’re having a Mandarin conversation? A: She can’t understand quickly what the native speakers said.

  32. Interaction • In Australia: The opportunity of speaking in Mandarin is less. (only in Chinese class) • In Taiwan: She exposed herself to native environment. Ex: Hanging out to the Taiwanese friends Going to the traditional market

  33. Interactionism hypothesis 1. SLA takes place through conversational interaction. 2. Modified interaction is a necessary mechanism. 3. Having an opportunity to interact with other speakers.

  34. Anna’s examples • Communicate with Taiwanese friends • Simplify the linguistic forms, elaborate what they want to express, slow speech rate, use gesture • Has the opportunities which speed up the language development

  35. The similarities and differences between the L1 and the L2 Whitney 9631335

  36. L1(English) VS. L2 (Chinese) • Positive effect: Word order  go see a movie (去看電影) • Negative effect: Word order  I went to see a movie with my boyfriend last Saturday. (我去看電影和我的男生朋友晚 的星期六)

  42. Listening • Contexts in the textbook • Classroom Chinese • Clapping hands, walking around the classroom and speaking Chinese out loud to learn the tones and rhythm. • Changing the third tone

  43. Listening • Change the third tone - If 2 syllables in succession use the third tone, the first syllable changes to the second tone and the second syllable keeps the third tone. 你好  ㄋㄧˊ ㄏㄠˇ - If more than 2 syllables of third tone are in succession, the tone changes according to the context. 我很好  ㄨㄛˇ ㄏㄣˊ ㄏㄠˇ
