教育目標

Second language acquisition, or SLA, is a theoretical and experimental field of study which, like first language acquisition studies, looks at the phenomenon of language development -- in this case the acquisition of a second language. The term "second" includes "foreign" and "third", "fourth" (etc.). Since the early nineteen seventies, SLA researchers have been attempting to describe and explain the behavior and developing systems of children and adults learning a new language. The dominant aim behind this research is to extend our understanding of the complex processes and mechanisms that drive language acquisition. The field of second language acquisition, as a discipline, focuses on the many problems associated to three general questions: • How do humans learn additional languages after they have learned their first? • What factors contribute to the variability observed in rates and outcomes of second language learning? • What does it take to attain advanced language and literacy competencies in a language other than the mother tongue? As we deal with the various topics, we will always look at the implications of SLA findings for L2 teaching. A range of SLA epistemologies and theories will be examined.
