Nativization Model

Developed by Roger Andersen
Views language acquisition as a process predetermined by nativization and denativization
Nativization:
- Characterized by assimilation, where learners seek to make input conform to their own idea of the L2 system
- Learners attend to an "internal norm"
- Visible in language acquisition by adults, which becomes native language of their children
- Also evident in pidginization and early second and first language acquisition
Pidginization:
- Simplified language that develops as a means of communication between groups with no common language
Denativization:
- Associated with accommodation phenomena
- Learners adapt their inner system to the target language, interlanguage, to the input received
- Part of depidginization, late second and first language acquisition
Depidginization:
- Process where pidgin becomes the native speech of the community

This quiz explores two types of motivational tendencies in language learning, including integrative and instrumental motivation, as well as the nativization model of language acquisition. Learn about the different reasons people learn a second language and how it affects their learning process.
