6、bits.The association of a particular response with a particular stimulus constituted a habit.It is formed when a particular stimulus became regularly linked with a particular response.When applied to SLA,the process of second language acquisition is regarded as a process of habit formation.5.The cau

7、ses of errors according to behaviorism Differences between the first and second language create learning difficulty which results in errors.Behaviorist learning theory predicts that transfer will take place from the first to the second language.Transfer will be negative when there is proactive inhib

8、ition.In this case errors will result.Errors,according to behaviorist theory,were the result of non-learning,rather than wrong learning.The means used to predict potential errors by behaviorists is Contrastive Analysis.6.Structuralism Language was viewed as a coded system consisting of structurally

9、related elements(phonemes,morphemes,words,structures and sentence patterns)7.What is contrastive analysis(CA)Contrastive analysis is an inductive investigative approach based on the distinctive elements in a language.It involves the comparison of two or more languages or subsystems of languages in o

10、rder to determine both the differences and similarities between them.It could also be done within one language.Contrastive analysis can be both theoretical and applied according to varied purposes.8.Contrastive Analysis Hypothesis(CAH)Contrastive analysis is a way of comparing languages in order to

11、determine potential errors for the ultimate purpose of isolating what needs to be learned and what does not need to be learned in an L2 situation.According to CAH,L2 errors are result of differences between the learners first language and the target language.The strong form of the hypothesis claims

12、that these differences can be used to predict all errors that will occur.The weak form of the hypothesis claims that these differences can be used to identify some out of the total errors that actually arise.vs difficulty“Difference”is a linguistic concept,whereas“difficulty”is a psychological conce

13、pt.Therefore,the level of learning difficulty cannot be inferred directly from the degree of difference between two language systems.10.Definition of Error analysis(EA)the study and analysis of the errors made by second and foreign language learners(Longman Dictionary of Applied Linguistics,.It invo

17、municating meanings for which they lack the requisite linguistic knowledge.Typical communication strategies are paraphrase and mime.14.Classifications of learning strategy(Cohen 2006)(2)By function:Metacognitive;Cognitive;Socio-affective(3)By skill:listening,speaking,reading,writing,vocabulary,or tr

18、anslation strategies.15.Meta-cognitive strategies Meta-cognitive strategy is the planning for learning,thinking about the learning process,monitoring of ones production or comprehension,and evaluating learning after an activity is completed.16.Cognitive strategies Cognitive strategies refer to the s

21、dentify with the target culture,would like to resemble members of the target culture and who would like to participate in the target culture.It is assumed to be based in the personality of the learner.Instrumental orientation 工具型动机 refers to those cases where the learners are interested in learning

22、the language for the possible benefits,that is,the learners goal is functional.Resultative motivation:因果性动机 Learners motivation is strongly affected by their achievement.Intrinsic motivation:内在兴趣动机 Motivation as intrinsic interest.Motivation as a multi-componential construct:Motivation=effort+desire

23、 to achieve goal+attitudes Task motivation:the interest felt by the learner in performing different learning tasks.19.Definition interlanguage Interlanguage is the approximate language system that the learner constructs for use in communication through the target language.(Larry Selinker)It is indep

24、endent of both the learners first language and the target language.It suggests that learners language is between L1 AND L2 and that it is a continuum along which all learners traverse.of fossilization Fossilization refers to the state in which the second language learners stop to learning when their

25、 internalized rule system contains rules different from the target language.That is to say,the interlanguage stops evolving towards the TL.21.Classification of fossilization Temporary fossilization:the phenomenon is alterable under certain conditions.Permanent fossilization This means the learners l

26、anguage stops evolving forever.Because stable stage is not real fossilization,so there is no real permanent fossilization.22.Causes of fossilization Internal:Motivation;Communicative needs;Acquisition device External:Communicative pressure Lack of learning opportunities Feedback:positive cognitive f

27、eedbacks cause fossilization;.“Oh,I see”)negative feedbacks help to prevent fossilization.“I dont understand you”)23.Definition of UG Cook(1985)summarizing the Chomskyan position,defines universal grammar as the properties inherent in the human mind.Universal grammar consists of a set of general pri

28、nciples that apply to all language rather than a set of particular rules.24.Markedness Markedness refers to the idea that some linguistic structures are special or less natural or less basic than others.Linguists working in the Chomskyan school suggest that linguistic rules can either be part of the

29、 core grammar.the universal rules)or be part of the periphery.Core rules are considered to be unmarked and therefore easily acquired.Periphery roles are considered to be and therefore different to learn.25.Krashens Monitor Model Krashens monitor model mainly consists of the following five hypothses:

30、(1)Acquisition-Learning Hypothesis:there are two kinds of ways of learning a second language,.,acquisition and learning.(2)Natural Order Hypothesis:SLA follows a universal route that is not influenced by factors such as the learners first language,age,and the context(classroom or natural setting).Im

31、plications:Errors are developmental and are a natural byproduct of learning tolerate them.Allow learners to make errors and do not correct them (3)The Input Hypothesis c It laims a move along the developmental continuum by receiving comprehensible input.We acquire,only when we understand the structu

32、re that is“a little beyond”where we are now Comprehensible input is defined as L2 input just beyond the Learners current L2 competence,in terms of its syntactic complexity.If a learners current competence is i then comprehensible input is i+1.Input which is either too simple(i)or too complex(i+2/3/4

33、)will not be useful for acquisition.(4)The affective filter hypothesis SLA is affected by factors like Motivation,Self-confidence,Anxiety and so on.Learners who suffer from anxiety or lack of motivation or negative attitude somehow switch off their comprehension mechanisms and so even if they are pr

34、ovided comprehensible input,they will not be able to process the input.Therefore a low affective filter is important.(5)Monitor hypothesis Both language learners and native speakers typically try to correct any errors in what they have just said.This is referred to as monitoring.Krashen uses the ter

35、m Monitoring(with a big M)to refer to the way the learner used learnt knowledge to improve utterances produced by means of acquired knowledge.26.language transfer Language transfer is the influence resulting from the similarities and differences between the target language and any other language tha

36、t has been previously(and perhaps imperfectly)acquired.27.LAD(language acquisition device)The LAD is a system of principles that children are born with that helps them learn language,and accounts for the order in which children learn structures,and the mistakes they make as they learn.28.critical ag

37、e period hypothesis It claims that there a period when language acquisition can take place naturally and effortlessly,but after a certain age the brain is no longer able to process language input in this.Researchers differ over when the critical period comes to an end.29.field independent vs.field i

38、ndependent Learners are different in the ways of receiving,conceptualizing,organizing,and recalling information.Field dependents operate holistically.they see the field as a whole),Whereas field independents operate analytically.they see the field in terms of its component parts).30.input vs.intake

39、Input refers to the language learners are exposed serves as the data which learners must use to determine the rules of the target language.However,not all available input is processed by the learner,either because some of it is not understood or because some of it is not attended to.That part of inp

40、ut that is processed,assimilated and fed into the interlanguage system is referred to as intake.vs.aptitude vs.intelligence Attitudes refer to the learners beliefs about factors such as the target language culture,their own culture,their teacher and the learning tasks they are given.Aptitude refers

41、to the specific ability a learner has for learning a second language.Intelligence refers to the general ability to master academic petence vs.performance When learners acquire a L2,they internalize rules which are then organized into a system.This constitutes their competence.The actual use of this

42、system to comprehend and produce utterances is referred to as performance.33.Overgeneralization It refers to the extension of some general rule to items not covered by this rule in the target language.34.foreigner talk vs.teacher talk When native speakers address learners,they make adjustments in bo

43、th language form and language function to facilitate understanding.These adjustments are referred to as foreigner talk.When teachers address learners,they make adjustments in both language form and language function to facilitate understanding.These adjustments are referred to as foreigner talk.35.f

44、ormulaic speech vs.patterns Formulaic speech consists of expressions which are learned as unanalysable wholes and employed in particular occasions.Patterns are one type of formulaic speech.They are unanalysable units which have one or more open slots,.Can I have a。36.interference According to the be

45、haviorist learning theory,old habits get in the way of learning new habits.Thus in SLA,the patterns of the learners mother tongue get in the way of learning the patterns of the L2.This is referred to as interference.37.order/sequence/route of development Order of development refers to the order in w

46、hich specific grammatical features are acquired in SLA.These vary according to such factors as the learners L1 background and other factors.Sequence of development refers to the overall profile of development of SLA which is held to be universal and thus,not subject to variation as a result of L1 ba

47、ckground and other factors.Route of development refers to those transitional states the learners have to go through in the process of SLA.It is intended to be neutral regarding whether it is universal or subject to variation.38.Universal Hypothesis The universal hypothesis states that language acqui

48、sition is governed by the way in which natural languages are organized.That is,certain universal linguistic properties influence the order in which the rules of a specific language are acquired.According to the universal hypothesis,it is linguistic rather than general cognitive factors that determine acquisition.
