YA N D R E S L A O

THE EFFECT OF AGE ON SECOND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION

V. P. COLLIER:successful language

acquisition depends on the learner’s age

E. LENNEBERG:there is a certain

period in acquisition of a second language

the large majority of adults retain their accent when the second language is acquired after puberty,

whereas children initiating second language acquisition before puberty have little or no foreign

accent.

(6-10 y.o)

Puberty Age Period (11-15 y.o)

TEACHER’S ROLE CONCERNING THE MOTIVATION

Skinner:Emphasizes not only on the stimulation by the

teacher to the students/Respondents, but also a conscious stimulation

which influenced by the result

YA N D R E S L A O

C. Davies, (1996)

In learning how to use a

language effectively,

students must be actively

engaged in using language

The teacher (of English) must create

opportunities within the classroom

situation, which enable students to think

through language and to express their

learning through the language modes of speaking, listening, reading and writing

Class, who wants to tell his

last holiday’s experience?

He’ll be rewarded !!!

YA N D R E S L A O

The success in second language acquisition depends on many factors. Age and motivation factors are among the most important ones. In studies, it has been found that if a learner has a

competency in his or her own language, he or she is more

advantageous than those who have not completed his first language. As to motivation, it has been found that

motivated students are more successful in second language acquisition second language

acquisition than those who are not motivated
