Flashcards: Theories, Models, and Processes of Second-Language Acquisition

In a classroom of adult second language learners it is best to encourage _____________.

Your answer:

None of these

Your answer:

strictly academic discourse

Your answer:

only supervised conversations on specific topics, so the teacher can supervise language use by the students

Correct answer:

free and natural conversations about contemporary or personally relevant topics

Explanation:

The first thing to remember when teaching second language learners is that they are already fluent conversationalists in another language! This is the primary difference between facilitating primary and second language acquisition. Second language learners, in order to progress to the difficult goal of pragmatic competence, will be more stimulated and more apt to acquire language when they engage in natural conversations similar to those they will or would like to have in their real lives. Allowing learners to express themselves naturally and without constant strict supervision is key.

Explanation:

The best way to help students synthesize information about essay structures is to make sure that all aspects of language learning are incorporated into the process. By having students read, write, talk, and listen while composing their essays you will be developing all of their language skills, while also allowing the students to be comfortable, while combining social and solitary work.
