Analysis of errors in students’ written samples revealed that while students made a considerable number of errors in their use of articles, omission errors were the most frequent, while substitutions were

many parallels between complex nonlinear systems and second language acquisition (SLA). Both are regarded as by dynamic processes. The SLA process consists of many intermingling factors at play which define the course of developing the learner interlanguages, the native language, and the target language. Learning linguistics items is a dynamic process. Learners do not learn one item and then take on to the next. The learning curve is filled with ups and downs, growth and regression. A good example

Abstract The current study looked at the phonological development of native Japanese speakers who speak English as a second language. Two subjects were given a word list of English words to read from and recorded. The recordings were then analyzed based on their divergence from English phonology. The recordings were also shown to native English speakers to rate the foreign accent of the subjects. The current study was conducted under the hypothesis that the speakers’ L1 would interfere with the

and, as a result, their power. Moreover, he again takes advantage of this process and does not use the present simple form of the word “vibrate”, namely “vibrates”, but he retains the word as it is. Furthermore, the poet uses the technique of interlanguage by saying “[. . .] I was always drowned” and using another tense instead of the proper one. In this particular case we have a creole voice coming in the poem. The poet also uses the strategy of syntactic fusion when, in the ultimate stanza, he

Since, the second language is an additional language after we acquire the first language, the L2 learning process can be influenced by the L1 learning process This essay will demonstrate the similarities and differences in L1 and L2 acquisition by discussing various theories. Then, draw a conclusion based on the evidence provided and my own experience. First Language Acquisition 'First Language Acquisition' or also known as the 'Child Language Acquisition' is a process whereby children from infancy

Being bilingual is a tool that can enhance someone’s life tremendously. The development of this tool can happen either simultaneously or successively. Simultaneous Bilingualism is the development of both the first and second language at the same time, typically before the age of 3. Many factors must be taken into account when describing the effectiveness of simultaneous bilingualism, such as the age in which the child beings to learn both languages, the degree to which the two languages differ

Teaching Pragmatics explores the teaching of pragmatics through lessons and activities created by teachers of English as a second and foreign language. This book is written for teachers by teachers. Our teacher-contributors teach in seven different countries and are both native-speakers and nonnative speakers of English. Activities reflect ESL and EFL classroom settings. The chapters included here allow teachers to see how other teachers approach the teaching of pragmatics and to appreciate the diversity

How then, in the process of language acquisition, is it possible for learners to bridge this gap between grammatical/syntax systems and sociolinguistic/pragmatic systems? Romero Trillo (2002), for example, contends that foreign language learners utilize two tracks in their linguistic development: a formal and a pragmatic track. The formal track is affiliated with the acquisition of the phonological, grammatical and semantic features of the target language. On the other hand, the pragmatic track
