, QUESTION 1 1.1. Discuss the critical period hypothesis and indicate whether
it has any relevance to language acquisition and language learning.
Substantiate your answer. (10) 1.2. Explain how the concept of “language
transfer” relates to the role of the first language in additional language
teaching according to Cummins (1980). Describe how you would identify
opportunities for “language transfer” in additional language teaching. (10) 1.3.
Learning unit 4 discusses the principles of teaching. Select five principles and
explain how you would use them in the classroom. (10) (30)
Sure, let's break down each question:
1.1. Discuss the critical period hypothesis and indicate whether it has any relevance to
language acquisition and language learning. Substantiate your answer.
The critical period hypothesis posits that there is a biologically determined period during which
language acquisition must occur in order for native-like proficiency to be achieved. This theory
suggests that there's a specific window of time in early childhood during which the brain is most
receptive to language input, and if language acquisition doesn't occur within this timeframe, it
becomes significantly more difficult to attain native-like fluency.
Relevance to language acquisition and learning:
• Support: Research has shown that individuals who are exposed to language during the
critical period tend to achieve higher levels of proficiency and native-like pronunciation
compared to those who begin learning a language later in life.
• Substantiation: For example, studies of immigrant populations often find that children
who arrive in a new country before puberty generally achieve better proficiency in the
new language compared to adults who immigrate later.
1.2. Explain how the concept of “language transfer” relates to the role of the first language
in additional language teaching according to Cummins (1980). Describe how you would
identify opportunities for “language transfer” in additional language teaching.
Language transfer refers to the influence of a learner's first language (L1) on the acquisition of a
second language (L2). According to Cummins (1980), learners often transfer linguistic elements,
such as vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation patterns, from their L1 to the L2. This transfer
can either facilitate or hinder language learning, depending on the similarities and differences
between the two languages.
