Language
Acquisition
- Input
Hypothesis
- Stephen Krashen
- We learn language by understanding
meaning behind the message. We all
learn language the same way.
- This can be used in the classroom by
getting to know your students and
teaching in ways which they will
understand. Repeating, speaking louder,
and writing on the board will not help
them understand. They have to
understand the meaning behind the
words.
- Stephen Krashen
- BICS
- Jim Cummins
- Learning language through
social interactions and
conversations.
- Students can begin to learn the
language by interacting with others
but it will take longer to understand a
deeper meaning and understanding.
- Jim Cummins
- Affective
Filter
- Stephen Krashen
- Students have a filter
when it comes to learning
languages. When
frustrated they may raise
their filter and not learn
but when they are
comfortable they are more
open to learning.
- It's important to make sure that your students
are comfortable when in the classroom. If they
are having a difficult time more than likely they
will not be learning or absorbing any of the
language around them. They will be filtering it
out.
- Stephen Krashen
- Universal
Grammer
- Noam Chomsky
- All language has the comes from
the same basic understanding. All
languages have negatives, nouns,
verbs, stc.
- Identifying similiar
characteristics between two
languages can help a
student better understand
the meaning and connection
to the new language.
- Noam Chomsky
- CALP
- Jim Cummins
- The underneath of the
surface learning of a
second language. The
learning on a academic
level and being able to
expand beyond social
interaction.
- This takes a longer time. It's
important for teachers to not
get frustrated when their
students are speaking well in
conversation but not
performing as well
academically. They need to
continue to help introduce the
student into the language.
- Jim Cummins
