AGE AND ACQUISITION
Recomendations in second language teaching method on the basis of first language acquisition
We must practice a lot, repeating things over and over again.
You must be a mimic, language learning is mainly a matter of imitation.
Natural order: First, separate sounds, then words, then sentences.
Watch a small child's speech development.
Natural order for first and second language learning is listening, speaking, reading, writing.
Try to learn the language without translation.
Use simple language.
ISSUES IN FIRST LANGUAGE ACQUISITION
Systematicity and variability
Language and Thought
Universals
Imitation
Nature or Nurture?
Practice
Comprehension and production
Input
Competence and performance
Discourse
THE SIGNIFICANCE OF ACCENT
Muscular control is required to achieve the fluency of native speaker of a language. At birth the speech muscles (mouth, lips, tongue, throat) gradually develop and control some complex sounds.
Critical preiod hypothesis
A biologically determined period of life when language can be easily and beyond which time language is increasingly difficult to acquire.
NEUROLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS
Hemispheric lateralization
Biological Timetables
Right -hemispheric participation
Antropological evidence
Possible causes of such an age-based factor have influency in authentic pronunciation
Neuromuscular platicity
Cerebral development
Sociobiological programs
The enviroment of sociocultural influences
COGNITIVE CONSIDERATIONS
Sensorimotor stage(ages two to seven)
Preoperational stage(ages seven to sixteen)
Concrete operational stage (ages seven to eleven)
Formal operational stage (ages eleven to sixteen)
Operational stage(birth to two)
AFFECTIVE CONSIDERATIONS
Empathy
Self-esteem
Extroversion
Inhibition
Imitation
Anxiety
Attitudes
