Fhat theory of language learning is discussed in the te)t
W
4oes the theory avoid the teaching of grammar completely
Second language learning f you look in a dictionary to find the meaning of the word @ac$uisition=! you will find it defined as something like @the process of learning skills or getting knowledge=. So what then i s @language ac$uisition= and how is language ac$uisition different to @language learning= Some theorists believe that there is a difference between learning and ac$uisition and that the difference is this* language learning is a conscious or intentional process which may involve studying the language! paying attention to grammar rules and possibly following a course of instruction. Language ac$uisition! on the other hand! is considered to be a natural process and involves @picking up= language in a non9conscious way through e)posure to language! not by studying it. Children @ac$uire= their first language and get to know its rules through e)posure and by being e)posed to e)amples of the language and by using it. This is part of the theory of @first language ac$uisition=. @Second language ac$uisition= is the process! and the study of the process! by which people learn a language that is not their native language. This is a fairly new field of study and there are still many $uestions to answer about how languages are learnt. +owever! teachers and theorists believe that we do learn a second language by @ac$uiring= or @picking up= language! but there are some important considerations for second language learners. Second language learners ac$uire language through e)posure to many different e)amples of the language! by reading it and by hearing it in their environment. Fe listen and read and develop an understanding of language over a period of time before we eventually use it ourselves. The period! when learners are taking in language! processing it and perhaps silently practicing it! is known as the @silent period= and is thought to be an important stage in language ac$uisition. Once we use the language! it is important that there is an opportunity for interaction so we can use the language! to e)periment! to make the language work in communication. The final consideration is the need for a focus on form. Second language learners need to focus on the language! to analyse and identify it and practise it. Teachers and learners will also want to look at correcting mistakes so that learners can think about rules! and e)ceptions to rules.

&'ercise 1 – Te't 1 Read t0e te't and decide on an aroriate title 5or it> Fe learn our first language as a baby and as a young child and continue to build our language as we grow older and learn different kinds of language and language skills. -abies and children are surrounded by their first language. They hear and see their families! friends and strangers talking and interacting with each other and friends and family interact with them. Children are constantly provided with opportunities to use the language and to e)periment with the language as they are learning it and they receive constant praise and encouragement for their efforts. 1arents encourage and persuade their children to talk by simplifying their own language and directing simple $uestions and re$uesting simple responses. Fhen children=s language is inaccurate! adults very rarely correct them or make them repeat accurate forms and they will! more often than not! respond to the utterance in a natural way. -abies and children learn language by @ac$uiring= it through e)posure and by picking it up. They are generally highly motivated to learn their first language because they have a great need and desire to communicate with others around them. They hear and see friends and family communicating with each other and they will listen and take in this language and process it during a @silent period=! possibly lasting many months! before using language themselves. Fhen children start using language the language they use will be about things they see around them and they will play and e)periment with new language. They learn through this e)perimentation and through interaction with family and friends.
&'ercise A – Te't A Read t0e te't and decide on an aroriate title 5or it> :ost people learn their second language at school in a classroom. Some start at primary school or secondary school and their learning might continue in later life. Some people begin second language learning as adults and attend lessons along with the other things they do in their lives. Second language learners do not usually hear or read more than three or four hours a week of the second language! so they do not have much e)posure to the language. The e)posure they do get is generally in the classroom! where they will hear recordings and read te)ts and will have the teacher to listen to. Teachers often simplify their language so are not necessarily a source of additional e)posure to language and they usually correct students fre$uently. n class! the opportunities for second language learners to use the language vary! as does the amount of praise and encouragement provided by the teacher and other learners. Second language learners! like L learners! do learn language by @ac$uiring= it through e)posure but they are more likely to learn language in a classroom and the language they learn is selected by teachers. They learn by interacting with the teacher and with other learners and by using language in controlled practice activities. n the classroom! learners often want to produce the language as soon as possible and do not always welcome the opportunity of a silent period. They use language for talking about e)periences and things relating to their lives outside the classroom. Learning is often dependent on motivation and this can vary in second language learners! from learners having little or no motivation to learners being very highly motivated.
