Introduction • Native language is a

mother tongue.• SLA can be learned

easily with the help of Native Language.

• But if it is learned in scientific way, it is said to be the best Learning.

• Acquisition is the best way to acquire.

SLA or L2 acquisition

• Process by which people learn a second language

• Scientific discipline devoted to studying that process

• Although teaching can affect acquisition

Psychology Cognitive psychology

Education

SLA closely related to

Origin

• Since the 1980s SLA has been studied from a variety of disciplinary perspectives and theoretical perspectives.

Some important approaches in this

field are:

Systemic functional linguistics

Socio cultural theory

Noam Chomsky’s universal grammar

Skill acquisition

theory

connectionism

Stage of SLA for a native learner

Fluency

Intermediate fluency

Speech emergence

production

preproduction

SLA can be divided into five stages

Preproduction • Silent period• Learner receive

up to 500 words.

• Not creatively on their own.

Production • Learner speaks

short phase, memorizes and makes mistakes.

• 1000 words vocabulary.

Speech emergence

• Speech emergence• 3000 words

vocabulary• communicate using

simple phrases and simple questions

• Make grammatical errors

Intermediate fluency

• 6000 words vocabulary

• complicated structures, thoughts and opinions frequent

• errors in complex sentences.

Fluency • After

learning of 5 – 10 years learners can level the fluency of native speakers.

For example

Spanish speakers learning English may say- “Is raining” rather than “ It is raining”.

My house is in Bhavnagar.Bhavnagar is in my house.

• Learners use rules from the second language roughly in the same way that children over generalize in their first language.

For example • A learner may

say “ I goed home”, over generalizing the English rule of -ed to create past tense verb forms instead of “I went home”.

Basic theory

• Nativist theory deals with the development processes most closely associated with initial language acquisition.

• Native language growth must pave the way of Foreign language growth

• The basic theories are fundamental pillars of language

• Its relevance to education is undeniable

For example • A child has

special ability

When a child attempts oral language or imitates the sounds or speech patterns they are usually praised

and given affection for their efforts.

Difficulty in pronunciation

• When the second language phoneme does not exist in first language it is difficult for native to pronounce it.

• For example: instead of ‘ALA’ they pronounce ‘LA’. ‘ANA’ is also pronounced as ‘NA’. In Japanese language they have no ‘Pha” menace in sound.

conclusion• Language cannot be

translated completely and hence all second language learners, till they are at lower stages make errors.

• Untill they do not acquire efficiency they continue making errors.
