Language Acquisition Theories
- Social Constructivism: Lev Vygotsky
- Emphasizes the importance of social
interactions in language acquisition.
- This applies to the classroom because it takes into
consideration a student's zone of proximal
development. ZPD is the difference between what the
student can do with help and what the student can do
without help. Social interaction between a teacher and student lies in this zone.

- Interlanguage Theory: Larry Selinker
- There are four kinds of knowledge involved
in learning a second language. They are
knowledge about the second language,
competence in the native language, ability
to use the functions of language, and
general world knowledge.
- Students are going to make errors as they try
to learn a second language and it is
important for teachers to use student errors
to guide how they will instruct their teaching.

- Interactionist Model: Michael Long
- This model builds in the
Communicative Competence Model. It
involves using peer conversation to
increase a student's exposure to
English.
- In the classroom this would look
like lots of face to face interaction
between all students.
Communication is key to learning
a new language.

- Transformational Grammar: Noam Chomsky
- All human language rests on innate building blocks of
expression. All languages have the same components
such as nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc.
- Children do not need to be
explicitly taught language.
Students will learn language by
listening to people speak
naturally.

- Communicative Competence: Dell Hymes
- This means that the speaker knows how
and when to use language appropriately,
not just knowing the proper grammar.
- In the classroom students
have to be able to use real life
language to perform academic
activities.
