소개

영어 학습에 있어서 어린이 학습자들이 언어를 어떻게 수용하고 최종적으로 자기 것으로 습득해서 언어의 완성이 이루어 지는지에 관한 저자의 18가지 생각을 풀어서 나타낸 글입니다.

목차

1. Languages are learned mainly through imitation.
2. Parents usually correct young children when they make grammatical errors.
3. Highly intelligent people are good language learners.
4. The best predictor of success in second language acquisition is motivation.
5. The earlier a second language is introduced in school programmes, the greater the likelihood of success in learning.
6. Most of the mistakes that second language learners make are due to interference from their first language.
7. The best way to learn new vocabulary is through reading.
8. It is essential for learners to be able to pronounce all the individual sounds in the second language.
9. Once learners know 1,000 words and the basic structure of a second lanuguage,
they can easily participate in conversations with native speakers.
10. Teachers should present grammatical rules one at a time, and learners should practice each one before going on to another.
11. Teachers should teach simple language structures before complex ones.
12. Learners' errors should be corrected as soon as they are made in order to prevent the formation of bad habits.
13. Teachers should use materials that expose students only to language structures they have already been taught.
14. When learners are allowed to interact freely(for example, in group or pair activities),
they copy each other's mistakes.
15. Students learn what they are taught.
16. Teachers should respond to students' errors by correctly rephrasing what they have said rather than by explicitly pointing out the error.
17. Students can learn both language and academic content(for example, science and history) simultaneously in classes where the subject matter is taught in their second language.
18. Classrooms are good places to learn about language but not for learning how to use language.

In brief, the author's idea of the above argument is that children have some form of imitation in learning a language and make their own language pattern from it. I also agree with the above author's argument. This is because in some experiments, it has been shown that children develop their own linguistic abilities by creating their linguistic patterns through selective imitation, rather than simply acquiring the language with wholehearted imitation in the process of learning the language.

2. Parents usually correct young children when they make grammatical errors.

In brief, the author's idea of the above argument is that parents focus on the meaning rather than the form of language and catch the error when children make a grammatical error in learning language. I don't agree with the above author's idea. The reason is that when children make language mistakes in the process of learning a language..
