The study of the people and of the process
Areas of study are both the formal and informal settings for SLA
The broad questions in SLA are:› What does the second language learner
come to know?› How do they come to know it?› Why are some more successful than others?
![Page 3: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Linguists: › They want to know about the differences and
similarities between languages being learned› They want to understand the linguistic competence, or
the underlying knowledge and linguistic performance, or what is being produced, at different stages in the language learning process
Sociolinguists:› They are interested in how differences in the learners
themselves accounts for their communicative competence, or the ability to successfully communicate in the second language
Social Psychologists:› They are curious about how the social context of
learners influences the process
![Page 4: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
They may take one or many approaches to understanding language acquisition but their final goal is to identify the implications of research findings in the teaching realm.
They are our allies, as they help us to be scientifically grounded, and therefore, better teachers
![Page 5: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Each field of SLA study approaches the questions from different angles
Sometimes findings conflict and contradict
Each offers insight to one or more aspects of this very complicated process
![Page 6: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Linguistics of Second Language Acquisition
![Page 7: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
What do all languages have in common› Languages are systematic› Languages are symbolic› Languages are social
![Page 8: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Lexicon (vocabulary)› Meaning› Pronunciation, spelling, › Part of speech› Collocations
Phonology (sound system)› Phonemes (sounds that make a difference in
meaning› Possible sequences of vowels and consonents› Intonation patterns (stress, pitch, duration)› Rhythmic patterns (starts and stops)
![Page 9: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Morphology (word structure)› Morphemes › Inflections that have grammatical information› Suffixes and prefixes that change meaning or
grammatical category Syntax (grammar)
› Word order› Agreement between sentence elements (nouns
and verbs, articles and gender, etc.)› Ways to form questions, negate assertions, etc.
![Page 10: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Discourse› Ways to connect sentences, paragraphs,
etc.› Ways to tell stories, have conversations,
etc.› Scripts for interacting and events
![Page 11: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
FACTS: Children come to master all these
aspects of language by the time they are 6, with further refinement as they mature and gain more experience
Second language learners rarely master all linguistics categories
![Page 12: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Contrastive Analysis (CA)› Predicts and explains SL learner problems
by comparing and contrasting L1 and L2› Goal was to improve language teaching
and testing
![Page 13: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Assumes language learning to involve mainly habit formation› Stimulus-Response-Reinforcement (S-R-R)
![Page 14: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
SLA success in part attributed to the differences and similarities of the L1 and L2
More important are insistences of good or poor habit formation› Warns against attaining fluency too soon in
the SLA process
![Page 15: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Compares and describes languages level by level in a specific order from smaller to larger units› Phonology› Morphology› Syntax› Lexicon (little emphasis)› Discourse (very little emphasis)
Gives more importance to structure than to meaning for language learning› hence the term Structural Linguistics
![Page 16: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Elements habituated in L1 are applied to the learning of the L2
Positive transfer (same structures present in both languages) eg. Plurals indicated by adding an “s” to the end
of the noun. This rule is the same in English and in Spanish
Negative transfer (when L1 structures are applied when they don’t exist in the L2) eg. Page 36 has several examples
![Page 17: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Described L1 and L2 at each level Analyzed comparable segments of the
languages in search of things that are likely to cause problems for the L2 learner
These elements were given attention in the development of lessons and determine› What needs to be practiced › What order to present structures
![Page 18: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
CA doesn’t explain how learners know more than they have heard or have been taught (Logical problem of language learning)
CA analysis not always validated by actual learner errors› Some expected errors didn’t happen› Some unexpected errors did› Not as much positive transfer as expected
happened Not very useful as a pedagogical tool
› Too language specific, doesn’t work in a multilingual L1 classroom (may work better in EFL classrooms
![Page 19: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
![Page 20: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Focus on learners creative abilities Based on actual learner errors, rather than
predicted errors By 1970’s had pretty much replaced CA for
the following reasons:› Real learner errors couldn’t be explained by
transfer of L1 to L2› Shift in linguistics focus from surface structures to
underlying rules› Behaviorist assumptions called into question
Mentalism (focus on innate capacities)› Shift away from purely teaching concerns› Norm Chomsky’s theories
![Page 21: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Inner forces work with environment for language acquisition› Child is active participant in the process, not
simply the receiver of stimuli Child language and SL learner language
come to be regarded in their own right
![Page 22: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Not considered bad habits
Offer insight to the process of language learning
Errors are part of learning itself
![Page 23: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Collected of a sample of learner language Identified errors
› Errors vs. mistakes Described errors
› Usually as one of the linguistic categories of language
Explained errors› Interlingual (interference, techniques from CA)› Intralingual
Incomplete L2 knowledge Over-generalizing L2 rules
Evaluated errors› Seriousness of error in communication
![Page 24: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Ambiguity in classification (how do we really know what has occurred is an error or a mistake?)
Lack of positive data› What the learner knows› Correct use overlooked
Potential for avoidance› Learners avoid difficult language
![Page 25: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
![Page 26: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Term coined by Larry Selinker in 1972
Refers to language states in progress towards the final state of L2
![Page 27: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Creative process Inner forces in interaction with the
environment Influenced by L1 and target language Considered as a language of its own
› World English?
![Page 28: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Systematic› During stages of L2 development, language is governed
by rules or internal grammar› Rules can be discovered by analyzing the grammar
used by the learner at any point in L2 development Dynamic
› Rules are frequently changing Succession of interim grammars Moves from plateau to plateau
Variable› Different contexts results in different language use
Reduced system› Form› Function
![Page 29: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Boundaries unclear› Begins when a person first attempts to
express meaning in L2 or when some grammatical structures change?
› Ends when learning permanently stops
![Page 30: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Fossilization› Disagreement about at what level of L2
achievement is considered to complete the process Accents? Grammatical errors that don't interfere with
communication?
![Page 31: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
![Page 32: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Is there a natural order or universal sequence for learning a second language across languages?› If so, does L1 transfer really exist?
Is this natural order that same in L2A and L1A?
![Page 33: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
L1 and L2 order of acquisition very similar L2 order of acquisition almost identical
independent of the L1 of the learner These conclusions provide further
evidence of innate language acquisition Later studies made to see if syntactical
order the same in L2 acquisition
![Page 34: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Assumes a Language Acquisition Device Made up of 5 hypotheses
› Acquisition-learning hypothesis› Monitor hypothesis
What is learned serves only to alter what has been acquired
› Natural order hypothesis› Input hypothesis (Comprehensible input)› Affective Filter Hypothesis
![Page 35: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
This model made a huge impact in the teaching field› Communicative approach
Indirect grammar teaching
![Page 36: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Claims not scientifically verifiable Definitions vague and imprecise
![Page 37: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
What is being acquired in SLA is a rule governed system› Development is progression through
dynamic interlanguage which differs from L1 and from L2
› Final state of L2 differs from the native speaker system
![Page 38: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
How SLA takes place?› Creative mental process› Development follows predictable
sequences similar for both L1 and L2 acquisition
Why some learners are more successful in SLA than others?› Relative success attributed mostly to the
age of the learner
![Page 39: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Norm Chomsky Two questions still of interest in the
linguists field:› What do language learners really know
about the language they are learning?› How do learners know more than the input
they receive? Logical problem of language learning
=Poverty of the stimulus
![Page 40: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Learner competence only explainable by an innate capacity› Genetically endowed ability-Language Faculty› All children born with the general knowledge
needed to learn language› All children already “know” the rules that govern
all natural languages Language Faculty a potential solution to the
Logical Problem› Children only need to build upon an already
existing system.› Social interaction determines what is built upon
the innate system
![Page 41: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
So what is happening in the mind of the language learner?
Principles are the elements that all languages of the world share
Some principles have parameters, or limitations depending on the specific language
![Page 42: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Since P&P are innate, the child is able to interpret and analyze input to construct the correct grammar
UG strictly constrains the process, which explains why children lean so quickly
![Page 43: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Lexical items include rich specification of properties
These important because needed for parameter setting and other features of grammar and semantics
Knowing a word means knowing its meaning, pronunciation, place in the sentence
![Page 44: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
The Initial State of L1A is UG.› What is acquired in the process is information
from input (especially vocabulary) that learner matches with UG options
The Final State of L1A is adult grammar The Intermediate States are:
› The initial state transformed by experience and determined by the processes of maturation
› Several stable stages, finally end at about puberty
![Page 45: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Natural, instinctive, internal to the cognitive system
Attitudes, motivation and social context (beyond minimal input) play no role
![Page 46: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
What is the initial state in SLA? What is the nature of interlanguage? How does interlanguage change over
time? What is the final state of SLA
![Page 47: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
At the beginning of L2A, the learner has already gone through the process of L1A
Some L1 knowledge is transferred to L2 Circumstances of L2 learning When L1 and L2 parameter settings are
the same, positive transfer is likely When L1 and L2 parameter settings are
different, negative transfer (interference) may occur
![Page 48: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Disagreement about whether or not L2 learners have access to UG
Four Possibilities› Learners have full access to UG in L2
learning› Learners have partial access› Learners retain indirect access, through
what they know in the L1› Learners have no access, but must learn
the L2 through different means
![Page 49: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Interlanguage=intermediate states of L2 development=interim grammars
If some access to UG is available, IL is a matter of “resetting” the parameters on the basis of input of new language› This happens because new input doesn’t match the L1
parameters› Choices limited and thus new language won’t deviate
from UG If learning principles that are part of the language
faculty are still available there is enough information is available to make changes› Positive Evidence: input from natural or formal setting› Negative Evidence: explicit correction
![Page 50: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
If L2 learners don't have access to UG then L2A needs to be explained in a fundamentally different process
Arguments against the no access hypothesis › No evidence that IL violates UG› L1 transfer and L2 input can’t account
entirely for the L2A process
![Page 51: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Why are some SL learners more successful than others? Huge variability in learner “success”› All may not have same access to UG› Different relationships between L1s and L2s =
different levels of transfer› Different access to L2 input› Some learners more sensitive to the
mismatches in L2 input and L1 parameters› Different degrees of specification of lexical
features
![Page 52: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Functional Approaches› Originate in Eastern Europe in the early
1900’s› Emphasize information of language
produced in real situations › Consider language as a means of
communication rather than a set of rules› Greater interest in discourse structure,
how language used for interaction, include aspects of communication beyond language
![Page 53: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
![Page 54: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
The Psychology of Second Language Acquisition
![Page 55: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Languages and the brain
Pierre (1861, 1865) observed an area in the left frontal lobe appeared to be responsible for the ability to speak.
Wernicke (1874) identified a nearby area which is adjacent to the part of the cortex that processes audio input as also being central to language processing.
![Page 56: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
The following questions help us to know how the brain might be organized for multiple languages
How independent are the languages?
› Multiple language systems are neither completely separate nor completely fused.
› Ervin and Osgood (1954) suggested a three way possibility for how languages relate in an individual’s mind: coordinate, compound and subordinate
How are multiple language structures organized in relation to one another in the brain? Are both languages stored in the same areas?
› L1 and L2 are stored predominantly in areas of the left hemisphere, near the Sylvian fissure
![Page 57: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Does the organization of the brain for L2 in relation to L1 differ with age acquisition, how it is learned, or level of proficiency?› Vaid (1983) concludes that individuals who acquire L2 later in
life show more right hemisphere involvement› Cook suggests that the variation in right hemisphere
involvement may be due to the lack of a single route to L2 knowledge
› The organization of L2 knowledge is more diffuse for lower levels of proficiency and more compact for highly fluent L2 users.
Do two or more languages show the same sort of loss or disruption after brain damage?› Obler and Gjerlow (1999) conclude rather that a significant
factor in initial recovery is which language was most used in the years prior to the incident which caused the damage, whether this is L1 or L2.
› Not only can different languages be affected differentially by brain damage, but different abilities in the same language may be differentially impaired.
› What is being added in the brain when a second language is acquired is not very different from, nor usually entirely separate from, what is already there for the first.
![Page 58: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Learning processes
Learning language is essentially like learning other domains of knowledge
Information Processing Stages
› Input (Perception)› Central processing
Controlled-automatic processing Declarative-procedural knowledgeRestructuring
› Output (Production) Fluency
![Page 59: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Theories regarding order of acquisition
Multidimensional Model › Learners acquire certain grammatical structures in a
developmental sequence.› Developmental sequences reflect how learners
overcome processing limitation› Language instruction which targets developmental
features will be successful only if learners have already mastered the processing operations which are associated with the precious stage of acquisition
![Page 60: Psichology And Languaje Learning](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103016/55530724b4c9054e3f8b4acd/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Competition Model
