Study Notes
- Input in second language acquisition (SLA) refers to the linguistic forms learners are exposed to.
- According to Krashen (1985), comprehensible input is necessary for L2 acquisition.
- The main difference between first language (L1) and second language (L2) acquisition in terms of input is that L1 acquisition occurs naturally with exposure, whereas L2 learners must actively notice and process input.
- Phonetic input isn't identified as a type of input in SLA research.
- Interactionally modified input refers to input adjusted during conversation through negotiation and interaction.
- Caretaker speech helps children acquire their first language by providing comprehensible and structured input.
- The main argument of the Input Hypothesis is that L2 acquisition occurs when learners receive comprehensible input slightly above their current level.
- The role of input in simultaneous bilingualism is that children need exposure to both languages from significant people in their lives.
- A major factor influencing language dominance in bilingual children is the amount of exposure to each language.
- Immigration can lead to the acquisition of an additional language due to increased exposure.
- L2 learners often receive input that is less frequent and less rich than L1 learners.
- A challenge adult L2 learners face compared to children is decreased cognitive flexibility and reliance on explicit learning strategies.
- A key difference between simultaneous and successive bilingualism is that successive bilinguals acquire one language first and the second later.
- Overgeneralization in second language acquisition is applying a rule too broadly, such as treating irregular verbs as regular.
- Simplification leads to dropping grammatical features like tense markers or function words.
- Linguistic interference in bilinguals is the influence of one language on another in pronunciation, syntax, or vocabulary.
- Speaking with a foreign accent due to influence from the first language is an example of phonological interference.
- A key principle of Contrastive Analysis (CA) in SLA is predicting learner difficulties based on differences between L1 and L2.
- Connectionism explains language learning by emphasizing strengthening associations between stimuli and responses.
- Krashen's Affective Filter Hypothesis states that emotional states such as anxiety can block language acquisition.
- According to the Monitor Model, comprehensible input that is slightly above the learner's current level is required for SLA.
- The primary function of interaction in language learning is providing input, feedback, and opportunities for negotiation of meaning.
- A key feature of foreigner talk is simplification of speech when addressing non-native speakers.
- Written input is important for literacy development because it provides exposure to vocabulary and grammar in structured contexts.
- Skills in one language can transfer to another, depending on writing system similarities, is how crosslinguistic influence impacts literacy development.
- Explicit instruction focusing on grammar and text structure is the type of instruction most beneficial for advanced academic reading proficiency.
- Exposure to reading and writing in both languages is necessary for balanced literacy development in bilinguals.
- Output allows learners to test hypotheses about language use and receive feedback, which explains why it is important in second language acquisition (SLA).
- Using a word from the first language with an incorrect meaning in the second language is an example of a lexical transfer in bilinguals.
- Research suggests that a higher frequency of exposure to linguistic structures increases the likelihood of acquisition.
