Second Language AcquisitionSimultaneous
bilingualism◦Prior to age 3
Successive bilingualism

Factors in Second Language AcquisitionUnder 5 – resembles L1 process
and proficiency12+ - rate of acquisition slows
downChildren learn more easily and
achieve near-native pronunciation better than adults
Amount of linguistic input

Facilitating Second LanguageAcknowledge first language or
dialect as a valid form of communication
Learn about child’s home language or dialect – phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, or pragmatics
Be patient with child’s need to develop receptive knowledge of SAE before expressive knowledge

Facilitating Second LanguageProvide conversational
opportunitiesAllow students to
formulate answer in home language and give time for translation
Provide cues for when and how L2 students will need to respond
Use songs, nursery rhymes, fingerplays, like L1 activities
