Definition of Interlanguage A mental system that develops in learning second language for the learners

Theories of Interlanguage 1 Behaviorist Learning Theory 2 Mentalist Theory of Language Learning

Behaviorist Learning Theory habit Create Own Rules Learners Respond & Stimulus Output ≠ Input

1. Habit has a big role in learning second language 2. Habit is a respond of the stimuli to the environment around the learner

Mentalist Theory of Language Learning Primary Determinant Input Language Acquisition Device = Trigger Human Being

�Language can be learned only by human being �Human has a “language acquisition device” faculty that help them to learn the new language. �The faculty is the main factor in language acquisition. �Input is the “trigger” to operate the language acquisition device

Interlanguage The learners produce a mental grammar. The mental grammar can be influenced from inside (from the learners themselves, eg : error, mistakes) and from outside (environment). The learners grammar changes depend on the knowledge the learners have achieved.

The system learners construct contain variable rules The learners create their own stategy The learners’ grammar is likely to fossilize

A Computational Model of L 2 Acquisition Human mind is like computer Input Intake L 2 knowledge Black Box Output

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. The learner is trying to get the knowledge (input). The part of the input is stored in short-term memory, refered to intake. Some of the intake is stored in long term memory as L 2 knowledge. The place where the intake and L 2 are processed called black box of the learner’s mind. In the black box, the learner’s interlanguage is constructed. L 2 knowledge is used by the learner (output).
