Second-Language Acquisition:
A Process, Not an Event
Learning a language is like a roller coaster ride, filled with highs and lows, confusing twists and turns. Learning a language is like going on a journey. The path is
is comfortable; often it is not. To help out ESL students succeed in school, we need to provide them with access to comprehensible input in a non-threatening
environment for the entire school day.
How do students acquire a second language?
To help our ESL students succeed in school, we need to provide them with access to comprehensible input in a non-threatening environment for the entire school
day.
Students acquire a second language when they receive an understandable message. When language contains structures that are only slightly beyond their level
, they take in “comprehensible input.” (Krashen) This enables them to make connections from the known to the unknown, moving gradually from the concrete to
the abstract. One other condition is essential for language acquisition. The learner must be open to it – free from too much anxiety or fear of failure.
Meaning is negotiated between teacher and learner. The student provides both positive and negative feedback through facial expression and body language.
Teachers need to adjust their language and use everything at their disposal (gestures, pictures, real objects etc.) to ensure they get the message across to the
student.
