Mini Seminar An analysis of Cultural Substitution in English to Thai

Date 31/08/65

Speaker 1: Meaning of language acquisition. Comparisons of first and second

language acquisition
- The process by which people develop the ability to understand and perceive
language is known as language acquisition. While acquiring a first language is a
subconscious process, learning a language is an active, conscious one.
Speaker 2: Behaviorist theory on language learning an acquisition.
- Behaviorist theory and mentalist theory are mostly pertinent to the acquisition of
native languages.
Speaker 3: The Background of the Behaviorist Theory
-
Speaker 4: Counterarguments on Behaviorist Theory of Language Learning
- While the other theories can explain the acquisition of foreign languages,
behaviourist theory and mentalist theory are mostly pertinent to the acquisition of
native languages.
Speaker 5: Nativism Theory
- Most religious beliefs are substituted by Buddhist culture, most substitutes for
people or idioms referring to people and most substitutes are chosen because of their
matching.
Speaker 6: The Universal Grammar Theory
- Substitutes are to facilitate easy understanding.
Speaker 7: Is the language acquisition process the same for all children?, How do
children develop?, Do children copy adults exactly? , Are speech and language the
same?
- All children learn a language in the same way. Learning a language is similar to
mastering a game.
- Children learn to model their behavior after what they observe around them.
- Children do not simply reproduce as-is whatever they are exposed to, for two
reason : 1. They are developing physically 2 Children are developing cognitively.
-Difference because Speech and language are not the same thing. Language is an
intellectual ability, whereas speech is a physical one.
Speaker 8: Me as a speaker 8
Speaker 9: How is vocabulary learned?
- The type of vocabulary growth required for academic success is likely to result from
both reading for assignments and reading for pleasure, whether narrative or
nonfiction.
Speaker 10: What is language register?
- Written language differs from spoken language, and how the language used to
communicate with the principal differs from playground language.
Speaker 11: Interlanguage
- Since Selinker coined the term to describe the linguistic system that exists between a
learner's first language and the target language, there has been a great deal to intertest
in interlanguage (TL) This paper will attempt to define interlanguage and investigate
the processes involved in its development.
Speaker 12: Underproduction, Overproduction
-Stated that if a structure is used more infrequently than what is seen in the language
of native speakers (NSs) there is a clear divergence from TL norms.
- One form may be the direct result of underproduction of another structure.
- Likely to arise from language transfer.
Speaker 13: What is the critical period for language development?
- Children can acquire "complete" knowledge of a second or additional language and,
more importantly, a native-like accent.
Speaker 14: De Keyser’s conclusions
He concluded by asserting the existence of a robust negative correlation between adult
L2 learners and language success due to the Critical Period.
Speaker 15: Can we think without language
- Language system seems to be distinct from regions that are linked to our ability to
plan, remember, reminisce on past and future, reason in social situations, experience
empathy, make moral decisions, and construct one's self-image
Speaker 16: Another way to examine
- Deaf children born into hearing families are frequently not exposed to sign
languages for the first few months or even years of their lives. Language deprivation
has been shown to impair their ability to engage in social interactions.
Speaker 17: Feral children
A feral child, also known as a wild child, is a young person who has lived isolated
from human contact since they were very young, with little or no experience with
human care, social behavior, or language. The term refers to children who have
experienced severe abuse or trauma before being abandoned or fleeing.
Speaker 18: Marina Chapman
- Marina Chapman was kidnapped in 1954 at - five years of age from a remote South
American village and left by her kidnappers in the jungle. She lived with a family of
small, capuchin monkeys for five years before she was discovered by hunters.
Speaker 19: Helen killer
- 19 she was born June 27, 1880, in the northwest Alabama city of Tuscumbia. She
was an American author, political activist, and lecturer. Her father, Arthur H. Keller,
was a retired Confederate Army captain and editor of the local newspaper. Her
mother, Kate Keller. At 19-month-old, Keller contracted an unknown illness
described by doctors.
Speaker 20: Helen killer
- KELLER USED HER EXPERIENCES TO BECOME A SPEAKER AND
AUTHOR, WRITING HER AUTOBIOGRAPHY, "THE STORY OF MY LIFE,"
WHEN SHE WAS JUST 23, AND IT WAS LATER TRANSLATED INTO 50
LANGUAGES, AND SHE BECAME A DEVOTEE FOR PEOPLE WITH
DISABILITIES.
Speaker 21: Bilingualism
- Bilingualism is the ability to communicate in two languages in everyday situations.
Bilingualism is widespread and growing in many parts of the world, with one in every
three people being bilingual or multilingual. Bilingual parents are outspoken about
their desire to raise proficient children.
Speaker 22: Does bilingualism make children smarter?
-Popular books such as The Bilingual Edge, and articles such as The Power of the
Bilingual Brain have touted the potential benefits of early bilingualism. One of the
most important benefits of early bilingualism is often taken for granted: bilingual
children will know multiple languages, which is important for travel, employment,
and making friends.
Speaker 23: Is it best for each person to speak only one language with a bilingual
child?
- One well-known method for raising bilingual children is "one-person-one-
language,'. Theorists argued that associating each language with a different person
was the only way to keep bilingual children from becoming confused "This early
notion, 'confusion and intellectual fatigue,' has been proven false.
Speaker 24: Is earlier better?
-Humans are not capable of mastering a new language after reaching a certain age
Bilinguals who learn two languages from birth are referred to as simultaneous
bilinguals, and those who learn a first language followed by a second language
whether as toddlers or as adults-referred to as sequential bilinguals.
Speaker 25: Bilingual
-Bilingual children are not more likely than monolingual children to have difficulties
with language, to show delays in learning, or to be diagnosed with a language
disorder. But parents' perceptions are often felt that their child is behind due to their
bilingualism.
