Date: Topic: Critical period (CP) in language learning……………………………….
1.Defining the critical period
2. Some examples of a critical period in animals
3. Evidence for a critical period for language learning in humans ……………………..

I. Critical period (CP)

CP= a theory that explains why it is easier for child to learn langs than 4
adults…………………………..

CP = …a critical period comes from the study of animals………………………….

Critical period:
starts …in 1st week or mouth of animal life……………….
ends when ……animal gets older…………………………………CP ends………..
 There’re …many skills……………….. when animal’s …young…………..; if not, they
can’t
II. Examples:
a. Songbirds
learn to sing…1st few mouths after it’s born………………………………….
by listen’g to its…parents song………..&…repeating it…………..
can only learn…when it’s baby………………………………………………….
(side
If…baby bird…………….removed fr. its …parent……….. …… not hear the
note
song……
not …learn to sing………………………………………
b. Cats
learn to use …its eyes in 1st few weeks of its life……………….
If …all the lights in room……removed …cat grow up in the dark…
won’t be able to …use its eyes……………………….…
 won’t be able to……see well………………… when it’s …learn to see…………….
III. CP for language learning
Child. learn new languages ……easily………………& ……quickly…………………..
One theory = that there’s a CP for lang. learn’g
( Theory): Pp’s brains change when …they’re adolescents……………………..& these
changes make …it more difficult 4 audlts…….. ….. to learn new lang. than for child
Unlike …child…………………, adults can learn to speak new lang. though
they may not speak it …perfectly…………………
There’s …evidence.............4 CP for learn’g 2 …speak w/ a native
acccent…………………
Adults : (learn new lang. after adolescence speak w/ a foreign
accent………………………………….)
never learn to speak w/ …… native accent
4 ……………………. though how hard they
try ……………….….
hear … the correct accent………………………… but …can pronounce the sound
correctly………………………………..
 UNIT 5: Violence on TV (Audio 4)

Topic: ……Impact of TV violence on children……………………………….

 TV has huge impact on children:
- 98% families have TV
- 52% children have TV in bedrooms  watch whenever
- Kids watch TV: ≈ 3 to 4 hours every day ≈ 1500 hours a year

Unit 12. The Electronic Brain (Audio 6)

Topic: The first electronic computer

1. …Reasons why computer = built…

ENIAC: started in …July 1943..., in……middle of Worldwar II …
was …secret project….. paid for by …US army…
( Before ENIAC): …army had groups of young women….. = ‘…computers..’
” did calculations for …scientific projects ..by …hand…
 slow + errors
US army wanted …faster & better way 2 do calculations …
try to build electronic computer
2. …2 engineers on project (men who designed computer) …
a. 1st …engineer…:
John Mauchly = physicist
...35... yrs old
interested in…building computer… b/c he wanted to
…predict weather…
But calculations = …impossible…
 Became interested in ideas of doing calculations electronically
b. 2nd …engineer...:
J. Presper Eckert: ...24... yrs old
Ph. D. student studying … electrical engineering…
loved to …design complex electronic machines…
was …idea guy…( had great ideas )  found…way 2 make ideas work…
Both men: most …important elements of project …
worked well together, …= brave enough…; ...crazy enough….to try st totally new
3. Description of ENIAC
ENIAC = big, filled an …18 hundred square foot…room(≈ size of a large …3 bedroom apartment … )
had 40 diff. elements , in U shape around the room
had thousands of …electronic parts….
did calculation & not …make errors….
7
 could do …5,000 calculations/sec….

( comps. today do…100,000,000 calculations in 1 sec … )

4. What happened to the computer and the engineers

- ENIAC finished & shown to …public…in …February 1946…
- …Newspapers…&…magazines all over the world…. wrote articles abt it
- Eckert & Mauchly: had ideas for new, better comps
started…their own company…, design’g … build’g & sell’g computers …
will always be …remembered as 1st computer engineers…
