Document Summary
Second language acquisition continued: l2 morphology. Interesting that be" verbs are acquired earlier in l2. Adults are already aware of be" verbs, and therefore already have experience with them. There is something cognitively easy about progressive. If you memorize anything, memorize 1, 2, 8, 9: the finale state. Some learners fossilize before reaching the final state. This figure only relates to sla not fla: variation in preformance. Important goal of l2 research is to distinguish between linguistic knowledge (declarative knowledge) and performance (procedural knowledge) Declarative knowledge: knowledge you understand and can state; book smart. Procedural knowledge: can apply a rule you know; street smart. Does someone who makes past tense errors in english. Can also think in terms of control versus automaticity. How do native and non-native speakers differ: factors affecting sla. Age a critical period for sla. Affective factors include empathy, anxiety, inhibition, risk-taking and motivation. Motivation has been further divided into instrumental motivation versus integrative motivation.
