MIRACLE OF LANGUAGE
![Page 3: BACKGROUND ISSUES IN LANGUAGE LEARNING](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033021/56814627550346895db33571/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Children’s language acquisition;
• Subconscious
• Result of massive exposure
• Can be more than one
• By the age of six or seven
![Page 4: BACKGROUND ISSUES IN LANGUAGE LEARNING](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033021/56814627550346895db33571/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Children have ;
• Powerful insentive to communicate
• Instinct to let people know if they are hungry..etc at the pre-word phase
• Expose to speacial kind of lanuage by adults; exaggerated intonation, higher pitc,shorter sentences, simplified

Can the sucess in first language acquisition be replicated in language-learning classrooms?

ACQUISITON & LEARNING
• Picking up a language (in target language community,
no formal attention)
closer
First-language acquisition

This fact is recognized by HAROLD PALMER
SPONTANEOUSCAPABILITIES
STUDIAL CAPABILITIES
Acquisition of languagenaturally & subconsciously
Students’ organizing their learning,application of conscious knowledgein the task

ACQUISITION-LEARNING HYPOTHESIS
by STEPHEN KRASHEN Acquisition Learning
-Subconscious-Easily used in spontaneous conversation-İnstantly available
-Conscious-Taught and studied as grammar and vocab.-Help us to monitor our spontaneous conversation
MONITOR HYPOTHESIS

COMPREHENSIBLE INPUT
• i + 1
Comprehensible input slightly above learners’ level
Roughly tuned (aids acquisition)
•İ Finely tuned (as most instructors do)

CONTRIBUTIONS OF BEHAVIORISM
![Page 11: BACKGROUND ISSUES IN LANGUAGE LEARNING](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033021/56814627550346895db33571/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
DIRECT METHOD
• Only target language in classroom
• Form and meaning association
• Use of real objects,pics or demonstrations
• A very antithesis of purely acquisition-based view of SL(second language)
• Depends on the idea ;
input Ss receive= intake
![Page 12: BACKGROUND ISSUES IN LANGUAGE LEARNING](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033021/56814627550346895db33571/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Combination of DM and behaviorist view leads AUDIOLINGUALISM
• Emphasis on drilling
• Follows stimulus-response-reinforcement model
![Page 13: BACKGROUND ISSUES IN LANGUAGE LEARNING](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033021/56814627550346895db33571/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Deschooling society by Ivan Illich
• Questioned the purpose of formal education
• Claimed that learning is not the result of instruction
• Stated that involving Ss in solving communication problems is effective
• Shifted the attention from product of learning to the process of learning
![Page 14: BACKGROUND ISSUES IN LANGUAGE LEARNING](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033021/56814627550346895db33571/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
FOCUS ON FORM or FOCUS ON FORMS?
• Solving communication problems in TL
Task-based language teaching
Learning through preformance of communicative tasks
![Page 15: BACKGROUND ISSUES IN LANGUAGE LEARNING](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033021/56814627550346895db33571/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• Focus on form focus on forms
Conscious attentionTo some feature of language;Verb tense,organization of paragraphsİncidental,opportunisticGrows out of communicative tasksMore effective
Focusing on the series of languageForms one by one because they areOn the syllabus
![Page 16: BACKGROUND ISSUES IN LANGUAGE LEARNING](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033021/56814627550346895db33571/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Making sense of it all
• Behaviorism is not completely absurd
• Repetitions clearly works
• Exaggerated concern for monitoring impedes spontaneous speech
• Acquisition and learning are seperate process
• Individual differences of learners are important in learning process
![Page 17: BACKGROUND ISSUES IN LANGUAGE LEARNING](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033021/56814627550346895db33571/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
THE IMPORTANCE OF REPETITION
• The more ss come across the language ,the more repeated encounters they have
• The better chance they have of remembering
• Gains from repeated tasks
![Page 18: BACKGROUND ISSUES IN LANGUAGE LEARNING](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033021/56814627550346895db33571/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
THINKING ABOUT LANGUAGE
-better learning when Ss think about language
Ex:thinking about the sentence elements, verb tenses ..etc
- cognitive depth enables more understanding and remembering
- examples for guidance instead of explicit teaching of grammar,
![Page 19: BACKGROUND ISSUES IN LANGUAGE LEARNING](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033021/56814627550346895db33571/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• Discovering is effective but may not be suitable for all learners
• Exposed to language over-complex ,Ss may not make any meaningful analysis.

Arousal,affect and Humanistic Teaching
• Ss feelings in learning process
Positive feelings
learning potential
Negative feelings
• Krashen’s affective filter hypothesis
![Page 21: BACKGROUND ISSUES IN LANGUAGE LEARNING](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033021/56814627550346895db33571/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Carl Rogers and Humanistic View
-experience learning rather than taught
-Ss emotionally involved
-reflection and creativitiy
-whole person
-self actualization
-feelings and emotions
![Page 22: BACKGROUND ISSUES IN LANGUAGE LEARNING](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022033021/56814627550346895db33571/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Critic
• Concentration of inner-self limit language learning
• Too much attention to affective domain therefore neglecting the cognitive and intellectual development
• Teacher role ; monitoring
