Q

Krashen’s Theories

A
  1. Acquisition/Learning Hypothesis: Difference between acquiring and learning. Acquisition being natural process. Learning is formal and conscious study of language. Only acquisition can be natural and fluent.
  2. Monitor Hypothesis: Formal study of a language leads to an internal grammar montior.
  3. Natural Order Hyp.: Lang. learners acquire rules of lang in a predictable sequence.
  4. Input Hyp.: Second lang is acquired by understanding input with linguistic structures slightly above their current level.
  5. Affective Filter Hyp.: Social emotional variable related to 2nd lang acquisition, the most important being motivation, confidence, and self-esteem.

Q

Decoding

A

using knowledge of letter sounds to accurately read a word

21
Q

Processes

A

Top-Down, Bottom Up, Interactive, Psycholinguistic

22
Q

Top-Down Process

A

Top-down processing of language happens when someone uses background information to predict the meaning of language they are going to listen to or read. efficient.

23
Q

Bottom-Up Process

A

Bottom-up processing happens when someone tries to understand language by looking at individual meanings or grammatical characteristics of the most basic units of the text, (e.g. sounds for a listening or words for a reading), and moves from these to trying to understand the whole text. not efficient.

24
Q

Interactive Process

A

drawing upon both top-down and bottom-up processing. Interactive processing is probably compensatory: that is, one type of processing will take over if there is a problem with the other type.

25
Q

Aesthetic Reading

A

aimed at experiencing or feeling a piece of writing (interested in problems faced by characters, identifying with characters)

Q

A

a continuum between both stages, there are systematic rules in L2, and a similar status between L1/L2

28
Q

Schema Development

A

a schema describes an organized pattern of thought or behavior that organizes categories of info and the relationships between them. prior knowledge.

29
Q

Content area reading & writing

A

sheltered instruction aims to facilitate both language and subject matter learning by building on students’ prior knowledge, making use of concrete materials and direct experiences, creating opportunities for students to collaborate on learning tasks, and providing explicit strategies to help students use oral and written language for learning.

30
Q

Language Development and Reading
