Age andSecond Language AcquisitionTo Think About:
Is it better to learn a second language when one is young or when one is older? Why?
Discuss your ideas with a partner.
![Page 9: Second Language Acquisition Developed by Dr. Laurie R. Weaver Dr. Judith A. Marquez University of Houston-Clear Lake.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e7b5503460f94b7cb50/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Age andSecond Language Acquisition
The Critical Period Hypothesis (Eric Lenneberg (1967)
Lenneberg stated that:
L2 is best learned between age 2 and puberty
Ability to learn language is negatively affected by the completion of process of lateralization
![Page 10: Second Language Acquisition Developed by Dr. Laurie R. Weaver Dr. Judith A. Marquez University of Houston-Clear Lake.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e7b5503460f94b7cb50/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Age andSecond Language Acquisition
Critical Period Hypothesis Laterialization is when each side of the brain
develops its own specialized functions
Young learners use the same part of the brain for learning both languages
Older learners use different parts of the brain
![Page 11: Second Language Acquisition Developed by Dr. Laurie R. Weaver Dr. Judith A. Marquez University of Houston-Clear Lake.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e7b5503460f94b7cb50/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Age and Second Language Acquisition Lenneberg stated that
Lateralization is completed by puberty Therefore, an L2 should be learned between
age 2 and puberty (according to Lenneberg)
More recent research has indicated that lateralization actually is completed by age 5
![Page 12: Second Language Acquisition Developed by Dr. Laurie R. Weaver Dr. Judith A. Marquez University of Houston-Clear Lake.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e7b5503460f94b7cb50/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Age andSecond Language AcquisitionTherefore, young learners (before age 5) are
actually native speakers of both languages
They learn both L1 and L2 the way a native speaker does
J. Lessow-Hurley. (2005). The foundations of dual language instruction.

Age andSecond Language Acquisition Advantages to being a younger learner
More likely to develop a native-like accent Less to learn to be considered proficient More likely to receive comprehensible input
![Page 14: Second Language Acquisition Developed by Dr. Laurie R. Weaver Dr. Judith A. Marquez University of Houston-Clear Lake.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e7b5503460f94b7cb50/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Age andSecond Language Acquisition Advantages to being an older learner
Can consciously use strategies to aid learning Has knowledge from L1 to draw from Has greater control over input
![Page 15: Second Language Acquisition Developed by Dr. Laurie R. Weaver Dr. Judith A. Marquez University of Houston-Clear Lake.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e7b5503460f94b7cb50/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Proficiency: What is it?To Think About:
When is a person proficient in a second language?
How do you know a person is proficient?
Discuss your ideas with a partner.
![Page 16: Second Language Acquisition Developed by Dr. Laurie R. Weaver Dr. Judith A. Marquez University of Houston-Clear Lake.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e7b5503460f94b7cb50/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Proficiency Proficiency includes grammatical,

Proficiency: How long does it take?
To Think About:
If you wanted to learn another language, how long do you think it would take you to speak and understand that language? How long would it take you to read and write? Discuss your ideas with a partner.
![Page 23: Second Language Acquisition Developed by Dr. Laurie R. Weaver Dr. Judith A. Marquez University of Houston-Clear Lake.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e7b5503460f94b7cb50/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Stages in Second Language Acquisition How can you identify a learner’s language
acquisition level?
Discuss with a partner how the language acquisition level can be determined. In other words, how do you know if a learner is a beginner, an intermediate, or advanced learner of the L2?
![Page 26: Second Language Acquisition Developed by Dr. Laurie R. Weaver Dr. Judith A. Marquez University of Houston-Clear Lake.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e7b5503460f94b7cb50/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Stages in Second Language Acquisition Instead of using beginner, intermediate and
advanced, a more specific classification system can be used.
A learner can be at the preproduction, early speech, speech emergence or intermediate fluency stage
![Page 27: Second Language Acquisition Developed by Dr. Laurie R. Weaver Dr. Judith A. Marquez University of Houston-Clear Lake.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e7b5503460f94b7cb50/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Stages in Second Language Acquisition Preproduction/Comprehension Stage
CharacteristicsSilent period
Can respond non-verbally
Will be able to understand more than they can produce
![Page 28: Second Language Acquisition Developed by Dr. Laurie R. Weaver Dr. Judith A. Marquez University of Houston-Clear Lake.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e7b5503460f94b7cb50/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Stages in SecondLanguage Acquisition Preproduction/Comprehension Stage
The teacher should NOT force the learner to talk
The teacher should ask the learner to draw, point, act out, label
![Page 29: Second Language Acquisition Developed by Dr. Laurie R. Weaver Dr. Judith A. Marquez University of Houston-Clear Lake.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e7b5503460f94b7cb50/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Stages in Second Language Acquisition Early Speech Production Characteristics
Can understand more than can produce
Can produce one or two words at a time
Will pick up phrases (He cutted.)
![Page 30: Second Language Acquisition Developed by Dr. Laurie R. Weaver Dr. Judith A. Marquez University of Houston-Clear Lake.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e7b5503460f94b7cb50/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Stages in Second Language Acquisition Early Speech Production
The teacher should ask the learner yes/no questions
The teacher should ask the learner choice questions (Is this a ___ or a ___?)
![Page 31: Second Language Acquisition Developed by Dr. Laurie R. Weaver Dr. Judith A. Marquez University of Houston-Clear Lake.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e7b5503460f94b7cb50/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Stages in SecondLanguage Acquisition Speech Emergence
Characteristics
Speaks in phrases
Makes lots of errors
Interlanguage occurs (a mixture of vocabulary and structures from both languages)
![Page 32: Second Language Acquisition Developed by Dr. Laurie R. Weaver Dr. Judith A. Marquez University of Houston-Clear Lake.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e7b5503460f94b7cb50/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Stages in Second Language Acquisition
Speech Emergence The teacher should ask the learner questions
such as What is this? What does ___ do?
![Page 33: Second Language Acquisition Developed by Dr. Laurie R. Weaver Dr. Judith A. Marquez University of Houston-Clear Lake.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e7b5503460f94b7cb50/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Stages of Second Language Acquisition Intermediate Fluency Characteristics
Appear orally fluent
Errors are same errors native speakers make
Struggle with content area reading and writing.
![Page 34: Second Language Acquisition Developed by Dr. Laurie R. Weaver Dr. Judith A. Marquez University of Houston-Clear Lake.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e7b5503460f94b7cb50/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Stages of Second Language Acquisition Intermediate Fluency
The teacher should modify higher level questions. For example, instead of asking a student to compare two items, the teacher should ask the student how two items are the same. Then the teacher should ask how they are different.
![Page 35: Second Language Acquisition Developed by Dr. Laurie R. Weaver Dr. Judith A. Marquez University of Houston-Clear Lake.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e7b5503460f94b7cb50/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Stages of Second Language Acquisition Select a topic that you teach (for example,
fairy tales, plant life, animals, etc.). Then, think of how you would involve a learner at each language proficiency level in the lesson. For example, you might think of questions that you could ask learners at each proficiency level. Or, you might think of an activity in which learners at each proficiency level could participate.
![Page 36: Second Language Acquisition Developed by Dr. Laurie R. Weaver Dr. Judith A. Marquez University of Houston-Clear Lake.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e7b5503460f94b7cb50/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
First Language DevelopmentTo Think About:
Do you think the child’s first language is a hindrance or a help in terms of learning a second language? Why?
Discuss your ideas with a partner.
![Page 37: Second Language Acquisition Developed by Dr. Laurie R. Weaver Dr. Judith A. Marquez University of Houston-Clear Lake.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e7b5503460f94b7cb50/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Common Underlying Proficiency/Transferability Theory Look at the next slide which illustrates a
Dual Iceberg Representation of first and second language development. What does this illustration mean?

Common Underlying Proficiency/Transferability Theory
Many skills and concepts are common or interdependent across languages.
A skill or concept learned in one language transfers to another language when the requisite vocabulary is acquired
![Page 40: Second Language Acquisition Developed by Dr. Laurie R. Weaver Dr. Judith A. Marquez University of Houston-Clear Lake.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e7b5503460f94b7cb50/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Common Underlying Proficiency/Transferability Theory
For example, a learner only learns to read once. If a learner can read, he/she can read in another language, once the vocabulary is learned.
What needs to be explicitly taught in the other language are the features that are different.
![Page 41: Second Language Acquisition Developed by Dr. Laurie R. Weaver Dr. Judith A. Marquez University of Houston-Clear Lake.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e7b5503460f94b7cb50/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
What Literacy Skills Transfer? Directionality
Sequencing
Ability to distinguish shapes and sounds
Knowledge that written symbols correspond to sounds and can be decoded in order and direction
![Page 42: Second Language Acquisition Developed by Dr. Laurie R. Weaver Dr. Judith A. Marquez University of Houston-Clear Lake.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e7b5503460f94b7cb50/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
What Literacy Skills Transfer? Activation of semantic and syntactic knowledge
Knowledge of text structure
Learning to use cues to predict meaning
Awareness of the variety of purposes for reading and writing
Confidence in oneself as a reader and writer
![Page 43: Second Language Acquisition Developed by Dr. Laurie R. Weaver Dr. Judith A. Marquez University of Houston-Clear Lake.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e7b5503460f94b7cb50/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
What Skills Do Not Transfer?
Critical and Cultural Literacy(interpretation of text given a specific cultural world view)
From: C. Roberts. (1994). Transferring literacy skills from L1 to L2: From theory to practice. In The Journal of Educational Issues of Language Minority Students, v. p. 209-221
![Page 44: Second Language Acquisition Developed by Dr. Laurie R. Weaver Dr. Judith A. Marquez University of Houston-Clear Lake.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e7b5503460f94b7cb50/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Threshold Hypothesis The threshold hypothesis states there is a
threshold level of ability that needs to be reached in one language in order for a learner to be successful in another language
The threshold hypothesis also states that high levels of bilingualism have positive cognitive effects
![Page 45: Second Language Acquisition Developed by Dr. Laurie R. Weaver Dr. Judith A. Marquez University of Houston-Clear Lake.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649e7b5503460f94b7cb50/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Threshold Hypothesis Examine the table on the next slide. What
does this table mean?

Threshold Hypothesis: The better developed the L1, the better developed
the L2 can be.
High level of proficiency in L1-high level of proficiency in L2 is possible
A low level of proficiency in L1-lower level of proficiency in L2
