Second language acquisition• Researches and focuses on the
developing knowledge and use of a language by children and adults who already know at least one other language.
• About 25 years ago, a psychologist named Stephen Krashen transformed language teaching. He had been developing his ideas over a number of years, but several books he published in the 1980s received general acceptance.
• Much has been made of Krashen's theory of second language acquisition, which consists of five main hypotheses:
The acquisition learning hypothesis
the monitor hypothesis,
the natural order hypothesis,
the input hypothesis, and
the affective filter hypothesis.

• Learning theories are conceptual Frameworks describing how information is absorbed processed and retained during learning. Learning a language, on the other hand, is a conscious process, much like what one experiences in school. New knowledge or language forms are represented consciously in the learner's mind, frequently in the form of language "rules" and "grammar" and the process often involves error correction.

Language development as habit formation;A person learning an L2 starts with the habits formed in L1 (transfer)These habits interfere with the new ones needed for the second language.

Some behaviorist theorists are:
B. F. Skinner
Ivan Pavlov
J. B. Watson
Thorndike
• Edward L. Thorndike's pioneer investigations in the fields of human and animal learning are among the most influential in the history of Psychology.
• The Behaviorist theory depends on the analysis of human behavior.

• “The behaviorist theory of stimulus- response learning, particularly as developed in the operant conditioning model of Skinner, considers all learning to be the establishment of habit as a result of reinforcement and reward.”

Divisions of the theory• Cognitive theory domain is “the student’s
intellectual ability.”• Benjamin Bloom’s cognitive theory is
divided into:Analyze
Evaluate
Apply
Remember

Understating
According to cognitive theory activities like thinking and remembering seem like a behavior.It provides an avenue to use behavior analysis to measure their effect of learning.
Behavior is an
activity of
Thinking Remembering
Cognitive Theory stems from traditional psychological concepts of thinking. Cognitivists view activities such as thinking, deciding, and remembering in terms of how they underlie behavior.
