Introduction: describing and explaining L2 acquisition

This introduction to Second Language Acquisition (SLA) explores how learners acquire a second language (L2) following their mother tongue. It examines both external factors, like the social environment and input received, and internal factors, such as cognitive mechanisms and communication strategies. A case study highlights the complexities of L2 acquisition and raises important methodological issues researchers face. The text emphasizes the systematic nature of language learning and the challenges in describing and explaining L2 acquisition effectively, addressing learners' errors and the role of formulaic language.

  1. Introduction: describing and explaining L2 acquisition Second language Acquisition – Rod Ellis

  2. Explainer • Dias Wicaksono • 2201410026 • Introduction to SLA • Rombel 03

  3. What is second language acquisition? • Second language can refer to any language that is learned subsequent to the mother tongue • The way in which people learn language other than their mother tongue, inside or outside the room

  4. What are the goal of SLA? • Identifying the external and internal factors that account for why learners acquire an L2 in the way they do • How L2 proceeds and to explain about the process of developing SLA

  5. External factor : • social milieu in which learning takes place • the input that learners receive • Internal factors : • Learners posses cognitives mechanism which enable them to extract information • Learners posses general knowledge about the world • Learners posses communication strategies

  6. Case study • A case study is a detailed study of a learner’s acquisition of an L2 • The result of case study: • Raise a number of important methodological issues relating to S2 acquisition • Raise issues relating to the description of learner language • They point of some of the problem researches experience

  7. Methodological Issues • Language is such complex phenomenon that researchers have generally preferred to focus on some specific aspect rather than on the whole of it • A learner has acquired a feature of target language

  8. Issues in the description of learning language • Learners make errors of different kinds • L2 learners acquire a large number of formulaic chunks • Learners acquire the language systematically

  9. Issues in explanation of L2 acquisition • Learners must engage in both item learning and system learning • The systematic nature of L2 acquisition also requires explanation
