VK2.3 Engels
Acquisition vs learning = verwerving vs leren
Acquistition is van huis af meegenomen
Subconscious process (onderbewust proces)
De taal is al eigen gemaakt
Learning a second language is conscious
Children acquire a language more easily than adults
Teenagers and adults learn more effectively
Krashens’ theory:
- Input hypothesis – acquiring is done through input
- Monitor hypothesis – purpose for learning is to correct the acquired language
Children are not ready to learn a language, first focus on acquisition
→ input!
Pros of Acquisition: Learning a language in a natural, subconscious way
e.g. no translating, you just know the words
Pros of Learning: Learning how to correctly use the language
e.g. recognize grammar mistakes, able to correct themselves
Cons of Learning: Focus on the written language instead of the spoken language
Often done by direct translating
Language learning methods:
1. Gammar-Translation Method
He … plays on the computer.
Target language translating to own language
Only writing, no speaking
Teaches similarities and differences between both languages
2. Audio-Lingual Method
Dialogue between teacher and students. T: I have an apple, S: I have a banana
Learning through drills
Stimulus and response (teacher-student)
Reinforcements
Language is not impassive
Geen hele zinnen
PPP method (Presentation, Practice and Production)
Mix of drilling and use of language
3. Communicative Approach
Asking each other personal questions (what is your favourite animal?)
Motivating students
Content, communication
Afterwards you can correct your students
4. Task Based Learning Method
Make a presentation about what you ate for dinner
Student gets large tasks
Articles, presentations
Learning comes afterwards
