Q4: Prediction of Monitor Hypothesis
(Krashen Monitor model) We are able to use what we have learned about the rules of language. We can apply self-correcting in language output.E.g. students is able to correct minor mistakes.
Q4: Prediction of Affective Filter Hypothesis
Comprehensible input will not result in language acquisition if the input is filtered out before it can reach the brain (because of anxiety, low motivation, poor self-esteem). = filter. E.g. Students activities should be meaning based.
Q4: Prediction of Natural Order Hypothesis
-Language is acquired in a predictable order by all learners.
-This order cannot be influenced by direct teaching.
-It should be a natural step-by-step process
E.g. Grammar programs should cover whether they are easy or difficult for the learner to acquire.
Q4: Prediction of Acquisition-learning Hypothesis
Claim that language acquisition and Language Learning are separate processes. E.g the difference between children picking up the L2 in their new environment and children or adults taking a course in L2.
-acquisition being the result of natural interaction with the language via meaningful communication. e.g. acquisition as a result of comprehensible input.
-learning being the result of classroom experience. e.g. rules can be learned in the classroom, which is a conscious process.
-learning cannot lead to acquisition. e.g. rules that are learned cannot become natural language uttered by the speaker.
Q4: Prediction of Teachability Hypothesis
Instruction helps learners to learn a 2nd language in a more speedy way. This happens if the learners are taught just above their level. Step by step and don’t skip anything.
Q4: Prediction of Fundamental Difference Hypothesis (Bley Vroman)
L1 acquisition can be explained by UG, but L2 acquisition is the result of general cognitive mechanism. Child language acquisition is guided by principles and parameters of UG, whereas adults no longer have access to UG.
Q4: Prediction of Critical Period Hypothesis (Johnson and Newport)
Claims that the innate language faculty guiding L1 acquisition is no longer available after a certain age, making L2 learning fundamentally different.
e.g. parameters such as head direction and inflection are no longer available to adults. Aim should not be on a native-like proficiency but communicative proficiency.
