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
- Corpus planning is not a subcategory of Language Planning.
Language Learning Contexts
- A student from the USA taking Chinese language classes in Taipei or Beijing while also using Chinese outside of class for social interaction and daily living experiences is an example of immersion.
- The type of English used in academic contexts, such as lectures, reading texts, participating in seminars, writing essays, and taking certification exams like IELTS or TOEFL, is known as Academic English.
Bilingualism and Child Language Acquisition
- Children who, from birth, start to hear two languages on a regular basis undergo a process of simultaneous bilingualism.
Research Methodology
- In an AL empirical research article, the methodology section commonly includes information about all issues except the conclusion.
