How do we stimulate students’ interest in language learning?
Great answer!
What is your idea about EXPOSURE VARIABLES?
We'll see.
In second language acquisition theory "Acquisition is more important than learning." True or False?
True
(1) Motivation. Performers with high motivation generally do better in second language acquisition (usually, but not always, "integrative" 13 ).
(2) Self-confidence. Performers with self-confidence and a good self-image tend to do better in second language acquisition.
(3) Anxiety. Low anxiety appears to be conducive to second language acquisition, whether measured as personal or classroom anxiety.
In relation to the two important conditions to acquire second language, an effective language teacher is someone who can?
An effective language teacher is someone who can provide input and help make it comprehensible in a low anxiety situation./Comprehensible input and low affective filter.
What are the 5 hypothesis about SLA?
1. The Acquisition-Learning Distinction
2. The Natural Order Hypothesis
3. The Monitor Hypothesis
4. The Input Hypothesis
5. The Affective Filter Hypothesis
Explain LANGUAGE ACQUISITION
Language acquisition is a subconscious process; language acquirers are not usually aware of the fact that they are acquiring language, but are only aware of the fact that they are using the language for communication. The result of language acquisition, acquired competence, is also subconscious. We are generally not consciously aware of the rules of the languages we have acquired. Instead, we have a "feel" for correctness. Grammatical sentences "sound" right, or "feel" right, and errors feel wrong, even if we do not consciously know what rule was violated. Other ways of describing acquisition include implicit learning, informal learning, and natural learning. In non-technical language, acquisition is "picking-up" a language.
Do you believe that there's a relationship between the amount of exposure and proficiency? Why?
We'll see.
In order to acquire second language, two conditions are necessary. What are these?
The first is comprehensible (or even better, comprehend ed ) input containing i + 1 , structures a bit beyond the acquirer's current level, and second, a low or weak affective filter to allow the input "in".
In comprehensible input, what teachers should teach to students must be only +1 level higher than someone's current level. Why do you think so?
Give me an example where there is a relationship between the amount of exposure and proficiency.
Thank you!
Explain AFFECTIVE FILTER.
Low affective filter - More likely to learn
High affective filter - Less likely to learn
Explain LANGUAGE LEARNING
To develop competence in a second language is by language learning . We will use the term "learning" henceforth to refer to conscious knowledge of a second language, knowing the rules, being aware of them, and being able to talk about them. In non-technical terms, learning is "knowing about" a language, known to most people as "grammar", or "rules". Some synonyms include formal knowledge of a language, or explicit learning.
