Title: Important Acronyms


1
  • Important Acronyms
  • TESOLTeaching English to Speakers of Other
    Languages
  • ESOLEnglish for Speakers of Other Languages
  • TEFLTeaching English as a Foreign Language
  • EFLEnglish as a Foreign Language
  • ESLEnglish as a Second Language
  • LEPLimited English Proficiency
  • ELLEnglish Language Learner
  • SLASecond Language Acquisition
  • L1/L2First Language/Second Language

2
  • The study of linguistics is comprised of the
    following 5 sub-areas
  • PHONETICS
  • the sounds of language
  • how and where sounds are produced
  • PHONOLOGY
  • the organization of sounds
  • MORPHOLOGY
  • sounds put together to convey meaning
  • morpheme
  • the smallest unit with meaning
  • SYNTAX
  • sentence formation and rules
  • grammar
  • SEMANTICS
  • meanings of words, phrases, and sentences

3
What is language?
4
  • Implicit (ones L1)
  • Defined as the ability to convey new meaning and
    new syntax
  • A system of arbitrary vocal symbols which permit
    all people in a given culture or other people who
    have learned the system of that culture, to
    communicate or interact Finocchiaro, 1964
  • Systematic
  • Acquired by all people much the same way

5
Language and the Brain Ch. 13
6
The Localization View
  • Consists of
  • Brocas Area
  • Wernickes Area
  • The Motor Cortex
  • The Articulate Fasciculus

7
(No Transcript)
8
  • Brocas Area
  • Anterior speech cortex
  • PRODUCTION of speech

9
  • Wernickes Area
  • Posterior speech cortex
  • UNDERSTANDING of speech

10
  • The Motor Cortex
  • Involved with the PHYSICAL PRODUCTION of speech

11
  • The Localization View
  • Language is HEARD and COMPREHENDED in Wernikes
    area
  • Signal is TRANSFERRED via the arcuate fasciculus
    to Brocas area
  • Brocas area makes PREPARATIONS to produce
    language
  • Motor cortex PHYSICALLY ARTICULATES the sound

12
  • The Localization View
  • This is just the beginning of understanding how
    language and the brain are related
  • May be inadequate as we learn more about the
    brain

13
  • The Critical Period
  • The period when the human brain is most ready to
    receive input and learn a particular language
  • PERIOD from birth to puberty
  • ONLY for L1 acquisition

14
  • Genie
  • Provides some evidence against the notion that
    language cannot be acquired at all after the
    critical period
  • Genie had no left hemisphere language facility.
  • She was using the right hemisphere for language
    functions.
  • Raises the possibility Is our capacity for
    language limited to only 1 or 2 specific areas?
    Or is it based on more complex connections
    extending throughout the whole brain?
