Krashen's Hypotheses
This hypothesis claims that Language study does not lead to fluency
What is the Acquisition /Learning Hypothesis
This hypothesis differs from Krashen's because it finds "input" insufficient. This hypothesis states that acquisition requires conversational back and forth.
What is the Interaction Hypothesis?
This language teaching approach was designed based upon Krashen’s hypotheses. It is mostly applied in early stages of acquisition and social language
What is The Natural Approach?
Fluent use of everyday predictable highly contextualized English used for basic face-to-face communication and social interaction. This can develop within 2-3 years in an English- speaking environment
What is Basic interpersonal Communication Skills (BICS)?
This annual test from the WIDA consortium monitors a school’s progress in developing ELLs’ English language proficiency and provides information on students’ development of English listening, speaking, reading and writing skills.
What is the WIDA ACCESS test?
Language that is relevant and fairly understandable by the learner provides the data needed for language acquisition.
What is Meaningful Comprehensible Input?
Also in contrast to Krashen, this hypothesis states that Input alone doesn’t guarantee internalization of language structures. Internalization of grammar requires the learner to use the structures in speaking and writing.
What is the Output Hypothesis?
This program focuses on developing English language listening , speaking, reading comprehension, and writing skills. Students are usually taught in small grouped according to English Proficiency levels.
What is ESL (English as a Second Language)?
The type of language proficiency required to understand and express academic topics, complex ideas, and abstraction relevant to school studies.
What is CALP (cognitive academic language proficiency)?
They are: Lesson Preparation, Building Background, Provide Comprehensible Input, Strategies, Interaction,Practice/Application, Lesson Delivery, and Review & Assessment
What are the 8 components of a SIOP Lesson?
Knowledge of grammatical structures enables self-correction and planning of what to say.
What is the Monitor Hypothesis?
Drawing learners’ attention to how a structure is formed may increase the likelihood of them acquiring it
What is the Noticing Hypothesis?
This program focuses on teaching grade level curricular content to ELLs using
Sheltered English Immersion/Instruction
(SIOP)
These second language learners may have the advantage of receiving more instructional time, having more opportunities for comprehensible input and they may have a lower affective filter or less self-consciousness.
What advantages do young children have in language learning?
This kind of lesson objective is drawn from content areas of math science, social studies, health, art, physical education, language arts or other subjects
What is a content objective?
This hypothesis states that negative emotions block otherwise comprehensible language from becoming useful input.
What is the Affective Filter?
Language learning must take place during early childhood if an individual is to attain native-like proficiency.
What is the critical period hypothesis? |
What is the critical period hypothesis?
Lesson Preparation, Building Background, Provide Comprehensible Input, Strategies, Interaction, Practice/Application, Lesson Delivery, and Review & Assessment
What are the 8 components of a SIOP Lesson?
These second language learners may have the advantage of being literate in their home language and having other knowledge, skills, and learning strategies that they can bring to the task of learning a second language
What advantages do older children and adults have in language learning?
They are: Entering, Beginning, Developing, Expanding, Bridging, and Reaching.
What are the WIDA English Language Proficiency Stages?
This hypothesis asserts that syntactic structures and morphemes are acquired in a fixed order, so correction of learner grammatical errors is futile, if the learner is not at the right stage.
What is the Natural Order Hypothesis?
Lack of attention to learners’ grammatical errors may allow the errors to become ingrained habits which are hard or impossible to correct.
What is fossilization?
Young children are best served in a program where they can acquire English while continuing to develop this important life-long resource
What is the home language?
What terms are used to distinguish between the bilingualism of individuals who have been raised with two languages since birth and those who acquire the basics of one language before beginning to acquire the second language
Simultaneous Bilinguals and Sequential Bliinguals
This kind of objective identifies the vocabulary, and language patterns that students will need in order to understand, participate in, and express their understandings of lesson activities
What is a language objective?
