The Definition of Second Language Learning

Second language learning is conscious process where the learning of another than the
First Language (L1) takes place. Often confused bilingualism and multilingualism the process
has to take place after the first languages has already been acquired .having said that ,second
language learning could also refers to the third, fourth, or fifth (so on and so forth ) language
the learner is currently learning .in this chapter we are going to focus on experimental studies
that were designed to test hypotheses about how teaching affects second language learning.
There are six proposal for second and foreign language teaching ,provide example from
classroom interaction:
1. Get it right
The activity tells students to read a text together line by line and are asked to translate
it from the target language into their native language .and the teacher draws attention to
a specific grammar rule that is illustrated by the text. student are asked to practice the
grammatical rule by filling with the appropriate verb form in series of sentence.
2. Just listen and read
This proposal is based on the hypothesis that language acquisition take place when
learners are exposed to comprehensible input through listening and reading .
3. Let’s talk
To emphasize the important of access to both comprehensible input and
conversational with teachers and others students .
4. Two for one
This approach to language teaching referred to as content based instruction is one in
which learners acquire a second foreign language as they study subject mattertaughtin
that language
5. Teach what is teachable
Manfred pienemann said that some things can be taught successfully where as other
thing ,even after extensive or intensive teaching seem to remain unacquared.
6. Get it right in the end
Get it right in the end focus on classroom activites should be built primarily on creating
opportunities for student to express and understand meaningful language.
