1) THE ACQUISITION-LEARNING
There are two independent systems of second language performance: the acquired system and the learned system.
The first one is the product of a subconscious process very similar to the process that children undergo when they acquire their first language.
It recquires natural communication in which speaker are not concentrated in the form of their utterances, but in the communicative act.
The learned system is the product of formal
instruction.
It has a conscious process which results in conscious knowledge about the language.
2) THE MONITOR HYPOTHESIS
The acquisition system is the utterance initiator, while the learning system performs the role of the "monitor".
The monitor acts in a planning, editing and correcting function when three specific conditions are met: the learner knows the rule, focuses on form or thinks about correctness and has sufficient time at his or her disposal.
3) THE NATURAL
ORDER HYPOTHESIS
The acquisition of grammatical structures follows a "natural order" which is predictable.
For given language some grammatical structures tend to be acquired early while others late.
4) THE INPUT HYPOTHESIS
The learner improves and progresses along the "natural order" when receives "second language input".
This kind of input is the one that step beyond current stage of linguistic competence.
5) THE AFFECTIVE FILTER HYPOTHESIS
Says that learners with
high motivation, self-confidence, a good self image and a low level of anxiety are better equipped for success in second language acquisition.
Otherwise, the AFFECTIVE FILTER can form a mental block that prevents clear input from being used acquisition.
A genetic syndrome that affects IQ and communication. Very low IQ but amazing communication. Good physically with better hearing. Good verbally with lot of vocab. Acute ability to see and understand facial expressions. Highly emotional, highly friendly (think of little girl who talked to the guy, held his hand, gave him muffins but was very upset when he suggested she had a problem)
Genetic- chromo 7 not connected. We know because it "runs" in families and genetic testing
reveals the disconnect in the chromo for every person with Williams who has been tested.
IQ: bad with number and counting (girl with muffins) also not good with size and weight (how big was the octopus?), also struggles with drawing even if replicating something in front of them. They cannot see that they did it wrong. Overall, special stuff is really bad.
Strength: vocab, creative, musical
Vocab is really unique... if told to come up with a list of animals they will say something random but specific same with food.
