Connectionism attempts to model the cognitive language processing of the human brain, using computer architectures that make associations between elements of language, based on frequency of co-occurrence in the language input. [26] Frequency has been found to be a factor in various linguistic domains of language learning. [27]
Appropedia is increasingly being used to as a method to enable service learning in language education. [29] [30] [31] Computer assisted language learning (CALL) [32] is a method that includes a combination of methods and techniques using the resources available on the internet, as well as a variety of language learning software.
In psycholinguistics, the interaction hypothesis is a theory of second-language acquisition which states that the development of language proficiency is promoted by face-to-face interaction and communication. [1] Its main focus is on the role of input, interaction, and output in second language acquisition. [2]
Language learning involves formal instruction and, according to Krashen, is less effective than acquisition. [6] Learning in this sense is conception or conceptualisation: instead of learning a language itself, students learn an abstract, conceptual model of a language, a "theory" about a language (a grammar).
These theories conceive of second-language acquisition as being learned in the same way as any other skill, such as learning to drive a car or play the piano. That is, they see practice as the key ingredient of language acquisition. The most well-known of these theories is based on John Anderson's adaptive control of thought model. [1]
Language Teaching Research is abstracted and indexed in Scopus and the Social Sciences Citation Index.According to the Journal Citation Reports, its 2022 impact factor is 3.401, ranking it 21 out of 194 journals in the category "Linguistics", [1] its 5-year impact is 4.815, ranking it 12 out of 194 in the category "Linguistics" and 73 out of 267 journals in the category "Education ...
Hans-Jörg Schmid’s "Entrenchment-and-Conventionalization" Model offers a comprehensive recent summary approach to usage-based thinking. [19] In great detail and with reference to many sub-disciplines and concepts in linguistics he shows how usage mediates between entrenchment, the establishment of linguistic habits in individuals via repetition and associations, and conventionalization, a ...
Unfortunately, this often perpetuates linguistic stereotypes that can sometimes be discriminatory to speakers of nonstandard language varieties. [1] Another issue is that the curriculum for teachers is already very broad, especially in comparison to other college students, so requiring further courses for would-be teachers is rather unpopular.
