Two cognitive models C. A social constructivist model: Long’s interaction hypothesis A. An innatist model: Krashen’s input hypothesis 1. The acquisition- learning hypothesis 2. The monitor hypothesis 3. The natural order hypothesis 4. The input hypothesis 5. The affective filter hypothesis 1. The acquisition- learning hypothesis According to Krashen, there are two independent systems of second language performance: the acquired system and the learned system. The acquired system or acquisition is the product of a subconscious process very similar to the process children undergo when they acquire their first language. It requires meaningful interaction in the target language - natural communication - in which speakers are concentrated not in the form of their utterances, but in the communicative act.  The learned system or learning is the product of formal instruction and it comprises a conscious process which results in conscious knowledge about the language, for example knowledge of grammar rules. According to Krashen, learning is less important than acquisition. 2. The monitor hypothesis The “monitor” is involved in learning not in acquisition. It is a device for “watch dogging” one’s output, for editing and making alternations or corrections as they are consciously perceived. 3. The natural order hypothesis Krashen has claimed that we acquire language rules in a predictable or natural order. 4. The input hypothesis  The Input hypothesis is Krashens attempt to explain how the learner acquires a second language. So, the Input hypothesis is only concerned with acquisition, not learning. According to this hypothesis, the learner improves and progresses along the natural order when he/she receives second language input that is one step beyond his/her current stage of linguistic competence.  If an acquirer is at level “i”, the input he or she understand should contain “i+1”. 5. The affective filter hypothesis  the Affective Filter hypothesis, embodies Krashens view that a number of affective variables play a facilitative, but non-causal, role in second language acquisition. These variables include: motivation, self-confidence and anxiety. Krashen claims that learners with high motivation, self-confidence, a good self-image, and a low level of anxiety are better equipped for success in second language acquisition. Low motivation, low self-esteem, and debilitating anxiety can combine to raise the affective filter and form a mental block that prevents comprehensible input from being used for acquisition. B. Cognitive models 1. McLaughlin’s Attention-Processing Model 2. Implicit and explicit models 1. McLaughlin’s Attention-Processing Model  Mclaughlin’s (1983) attention-processing model connects processing mechanisms with categories of attention to formal properties of language. Consequently there are four cells: focal automatic processes,focal controlled processes,peripheral controlled processes ,‘peripheral automatic processs Controlled processes are “capacity limited and temporary” and automatic processes are “relatively permanent”.Automatic processes mean processing in a more accomplished skill which means that the brain is able to deal with numerous bits of information simultaneously.

A Social constructivist model: Long’s interaction hypothesis  Longs proposes that language acquisition is strongly facilitated by the use of the target language in interaction. The Social constructivist perspectives emphasize ...
