Having lang difficulty/ -identifying points of similarity , weighing the evidence and reflecting.. innatist - acquire the language during a critical period of their development ( that innate knowledge) - universal grammar argument good for first lang acquisition, not for l2 after critical period. - how formal instruction or the availability of feedback on their learning will affect learners knowledge of the second language. - LA : availability of natural lang in LE Krashens monitor model - against behaviorism - acquire : exposed to sample of the second language -no conscious attention to language form. - learn through conscious attention and rule learning. - spontaneous lang use natural order hypothesis: 2nd LA unfold in predictable sequences. (easy to state hard to apply) -input hyphotesis: occurs when exposed to i + I (level already acquire + methaphor ) affective filter analysis: prevents learners form even when appropriate input is available. Current psychological theories: - gradual development of complex syntax and for learners inability to spontaneously use everything they know abt a lang. information processing : pay attention to any aspect of lang -> process information ( experienced make it easier to process the new lang) connectionism : no need to hyphotize the existenace of .
