InnatismUniversal Grammar
Agnès knows nothing about Chinese. Create new forms by herself. UG helps her discover the structure
of the language There are some different language
structures
between Chinese and French.
Innatism The word order Mandarin- “ 我愛你” (S+V+O) French- “ 我你愛” (S+O+V) Direct object Mandarin- nouns or pronouns come after the verb (“The dog eats it, the dog eats the cooki
e”)
French- pronouns precede the verb (“Le chien le mange”- literally, “the dog it e
ats”)
Innatism
French and Mandarin still
have the similarities only if
you know how to change the
language structure properly
Critical Period Hypothesis
After the puberty, Agnès still can learn the target language pretty well, except for
pronunciation
intonation The younger you are, the easier it
is to learn another language.
Krashen’s “Monitor Model”
The monitor hypothesis Communication:
focus on fluentlymistakes are acceptable
Writing: more time to think less mistakes
Krashen’s “Monitor Model”
The Natural Order Hypothesis In school: step by step
simple sentences basic grammar structure dialogue
Acquired from the environment numbers prices
Krashen’s “Monitor Model”
The Input Hypothesis In school:
comprehensible input The environment
simple words slow down the speed
Krashen’s “Monitor Model”
The Affective Filter hypothesis Doesn’t like the way the teach
er teach Doesn’t want to go to school Changes to another school
InteractionismExposed to the native environment

speaker
Native speaker will slow down the speech
to make it more comprehensible
improve her speaking ability

language learning processes and experiences
can be a good example for everyone to follow.
