 OBJECTIVES
AT THE END OF THE LESSON, I WOULD BE ABLE TO:

IDENTIFY THEN SUMMARIZE THE DIFFERENT THEORIES IN

HUMAN LANGUAGE ACQUISITION.
EXPLAIN THE FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS OF LANGUAGE
LEARNING AND ACQUISITION THEORIES.
APPLY LANGUAGE ACQUISITION THEORIES TO PERSONAL
DEVELOPMENT IN LANGUAGE LEARNING.
 ACCULTURATION
MODEL
 JOHN H. SCHUMANN
 ACCULTURATION MODEL
 ACCULTURATION MODEL IS THE
ACQUISITION PROCESS OF A SECOND
LANGUAGE (L2) BY MEMBERS OF
ETHNIC MINORITIES.
 LEARNERS WILL ACQUIRE THE TARGET
LANGUAGE TO THE DEGREE THEY ACCULTURATE
TO THE TARGET LANGUAGE GROUP.
JOHN H. SCHUMANN
THE ACCULTURATION MODEL IS
A SECOND LANGUAGE
ACQUISITION MODEL DESIGNED
BY JOHN H. SCHUMANN IN 1978
ONE OF THE FOUNDER OF
SECOND LANGUAGE
ACQUISITION.
TWO TYPES OF FACTORS
IN ACCULTURATION
SOCIAL FACTORS
AFFECTIVE FACTORS
 SOCIAL FACTORS
 THE GREATER THE SOCIAL DISTANCE
BETWEEN SECOND LANGUAGE
LEARNER’S (2LL) AND TARGET
LANGUAGE (TL), THE MORE DIFFICULT
IT IS FOR 2LL TO LEARN THE TL.
 1. SOCIAL DOMINANCE
PATTERN
"IF THE 2LL GROUP IS POLITICALLY,
CULTURALLY, TECHNICALLY, OR
ECONOMICALLY SUPERIOR THAN THE
TARGET LANGUAGE GROUP, THEY WILL
TEND NOT TO LEARN THE TL."
 2. INTEGRATION
STRATEGIES
ASSIMILATION – GIVE UP 1ST
LANGUAGE (L1) TO LEARN 2ND
LANGUAGE (L2)
 PRESERVATION – MAINTAIN L1
 ACCULTURATION – COMPROMISE
 3. ENCLOSURE
 "THE AMOUNT OF SHARING
OF SOCIAL CONSTRUCTS THAT
THE 2LL GROUP ENJOYS WITH
THE TL GROUP"
 4. COHESIVENESS & SIZE
OF 2LL GROUP
 CLOSENESS OF GROUP + BIG
GROUP SIZE = GREATER
SOCIAL DISTANCE TO TL
GROUP
 5. CONGRUENCE AND
SIMILARITY
 OF LIFE-STYLE AND VALUE
SYSTEM OF 2LL AND TL GROUPS
(INCLUDING LANGUAGE FAMILY)
 6. ATTITUDE
 LANGUAGE LEARNING IS EASIER IF
"MEMBERS OF THE 2LL GROUP HOLD
POSITIVE ETHNIC STEREOTYPES
ABOUT THE TL GROUP."
 7. INTENDED LENGTH
OF RESIDENCE
 "IF THE 2LL GROUP INTENDS TO STAY
LONGER IN THE TL AREA, IT WILL
REDUCE SOCIAL DISTANCE AND
AMELIORATE MOTIVATION.
PSYCHOLOGICAL
FACTORS
 FACTORS AFFECTING
ACCULTURATION MODEL
 1. LANGUAGE SHOCK
 LEARNER'S FEAR THAT HE WILL
APPEAR COMIC WHEN HE TRIES TO
SPEAK THE TL
 2. CULTURE SHOCK
 ANXIETY RESULTING FROM
DISORIENTATION ENCOUNTERED
UPON ENTERING A NEW CULTURE
 3.
MOTIVATION
 LEARNER'S REASONS FOR TRYING
TO LEARN THE TL
 INTEGRATIVE & INSTRUMENTAL.
 4. Ego Permeability
 "WHEN INHIBITION IS LOWERED,
EGO PERMEABILITY IS ENHANCED,
RESULTING IN THE ABILITY TO LEARN
TL WELL."
 CRITICISM OF
ACCULTURATION
 ACCORDING TO FREEMAN & LONG (1991),
SCHUMANN DID NOT SPECIFY THE COMBINATIONS
AND LEVELS OF SOCIAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL
FACTORS TO PREDICT LEARNER'S LANGUAGE
OUTCOME.
 ACCULTURATION MODEL ALSO DOES NOT EXPLAIN
HOW SOCIAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS
AFFECT THE RATE OF ACQUISITION.
 CRITICISM OF
ACCULTURATION
 THIS MODEL DOES NOT GIVE STATEMENT FOR THE
CHANGE OF THE SOCIAL OR PSYCHOLOGICAL
DISTANCE OVER TIME.
 DOES NOT EXPLAIN LEARNERS CURRENT SOCIAL
AND PSYCHOLOGICAL DISTANCE AND HOW IT
COLLARETS TO THE LEARNER’S PROFICIENCY,
WHILE LEARNING THE L2.
THANK YOU!!!
PREPARE FOR THE QUIZ ON FRIDAY!!!
