Study Notes
Language Acquisition and Learning
- The process of losing one's L1 due to isolation from other L1 speakers and acquisition and use of a L2, which interferes with the correct production and comprehension of the L1, is known as language attrition.
Language Teaching Methodology
- The Audiolingual Method is based on structuralism and behaviorism as its psycholinguistic foundation.
Bilingualism/Multilingualism
- Crosslinguistic influence refers to the influence of one language on another in a bilingual or multilingual speaker.
- Language convergence is the process of language merging, where a bilingual's language production is filled with word-finding problems and hesitations, and their accent is influenced by the other stronger language(s).
Research and Academic Writing
- The discussion section of an empirical paper interprets the findings of the study.
- Applied Linguistics (AL) concerns itself with the applications of language in real-life contexts.
Second Language Acquisition (SLA)
- The field of inquiry that investigates the human capacity to learn languages other than the first during late childhood, adolescence, or adulthood is known as Second Language Acquisition (SLA).
- Multicompetence is the knowledge of two or more languages in the mind, and is a reaction against the traditional focus of SLA research.
Communicative Competence
- According to Canale and Swain's model of communicative competence, knowledge of the world is not a sub-competence.
Language Planning
