Interlanguage Theories which are dealed with Interlanguage: 1. Behaviorist learning theory 2. Mentalist theory of language learning Back to school 无忧PPT整理发布

Behaviorist learning theory q. Language learning is a kind of learning that involves habits formation. q. Habits are formed when the learners respond to stimuli in the environment and have their responses reinforcement. Back to school 无忧PPT整理发布

Behaviorist learning theory q Learners imitated models of correct language q correct imitation positive reinforcement example: “give me a pencil” he gets a pencil q Incorrect imitation negative reinforcement example : “give me” he does not get a pencil Back to school 无忧PPT整理发布

Behaviorist learning theory It can be seen that behaviorist accounts of L 2 acquisition emphasize only what can be directly observed and ignored what goes on in the ‘black box’ of the learner’s mind. Back to school 无忧PPT整理发布

Behaviourist learning theory Conclusion ØLearners frequently do not produce output that simply reproduces the input. Ø The systematic nature of learners errors demonstrates that they are actively involved in constructing their own rules. ØRules which resemblance to the pattern of the language modeled in the input. ØLearning is not just response to the stimuli. Back to school 无忧PPT整理发布

Mentalist theory of language learning The Nature (i. e. How the innate properties of the human mind shape learning) becomes attention in learning language. Back to school 无忧PPT整理发布

Mentalist theory of language learning Mentalist theory (1960 s and 1970 s) stated : 1. Only human beings are capable of learning language. 2. The human mind is equipped with a faculty for learning language, referred to as a language acquisition device. 3. The faculty is the primary determinant of language acquisition. 4. Input is needed, but only to trigger the operation of the language acquisition device. Back to school 无忧PPT整理发布

What is ‘Interlanguage’? q. The concept of interlanguage drew directly on the mentalist views of L 1 acquisition. q Interlanguage Larry Selinker (American Linguist) q. The construction of linguistic system of L 2 is different from L 1 and target language (a unique linguistic system). Back to school 无忧PPT整理发布

What is ‘Interlanguage’? The concepts of interlanguage : q. The learner constructs a system of abstract linguistic rules which underlies comprehension and production of the L 2. q. The learner’s grammar is permeable (influence from the outside and inside). example: omission, generalization, transfer errors. Back to school 无忧PPT整理发布

What is ‘Interlanguage’? q. The learner’s grammar is transitional. Learners change their grammar from one to another time by adding rules, deleting rules, and restructuring the whole system (interlanguage continuum). q. Interlanguage systems are homogeneous and variability in learner language reflects the mistakes they made. Back to school 无忧PPT整理发布

What is ‘Interlanguage’? q. Learners employ various learning strategies such as omission, overgeneralization and transfer errors to develop their interlanguages. q. The learner’s grammar is likely to fossilize. The majority of learners stop developing the same mental grammar as native speaker, unless five percent of themonly. Back to school 无忧PPT整理发布

What is ‘Interlanguage’? q. The concept of interlanguage offers a general account of how L 2 acquisition takes place. q. This concept of interlanguage needs to be elaborated to address some questions raises about interlanguage. Back to school 无忧PPT整理发布

A computational model of L 2 acquisition Input Intake L 2 knowledge output Back to school 无忧PPT整理发布

A computational model of L 2 acquisition Explanation: -The learner is exposed to input, which is processed in two stages. -First stage: intake parts of the input are attended to and taken into short-term memory. Back to school 无忧PPT整理发布

A computational model of L 2 acquisition -Second stage: L 2 knowledge some of the intake is stored in long-term memory. -Finally, L 2 knowledge is used by the learner to produce spoken and written output (learner language). Back to school 无忧PPT整理发布
