Three Different Approachesof studying social aspect of L2 acquisition

Interlanguage as consisting of different 'styles'

How social factors determine the input that learners use to construct their interlanguage.

How the social identities that learners negotiate in their interactions with native

speakers shape their opportunities to speak and, thereby, to learn an L2.

Interlanguage as astylistic continuum

Proposed by Elaine Tarone She said that interlanguage involves a stylistic

continuum. She argues that learners develop a capability for

using the L2 There are different 'styles' which learners access in

accordance with a variety of factors.

Some Styles of L2 acquisition

Interlanguage as a stylistic continuum

Vernacular Style

Careful Style

Page 5: Social Aspects of  Interlanguage

Careful style

It happens when learners are consciously attending to their choice of linguistic forms, as when they feel the need to be 'correct'

Careful Style

Page 6: Social Aspects of  Interlanguage

Vernacular Style

It happens when learners are making spontaneous choices of linguistic form, as is likely in free conversation

Accommodation Theory

Conducted by Howard Gile social factors influence interlanguage

development via the impact they have on the attitudes that determine the kinds of languages use learners engage in

The Acculturation modelof L2 acquisition

This approach is conducted by John Schumann

The theory is built around the metaphor of ‘distance’.

The Acculturation model of L2 Acquisition

Page 9: Social Aspects of  Interlanguage

The Case At first, Schumann got the theory from his

study he studied Alberto, a thirty-three-year-old

Costa Rican whom acquiring English in the United States

Over a ten month period, Alberto appeared to have fossilized or pidginized at the early stage

He doesn’t show any significant improvemntThe Acculturation model of L2

Acquisition

Page 10: Social Aspects of  Interlanguage

The Case

o Schumann then consider for the formation of a pidgin

o He proposed that learners are unable or unwilling to adapt to a new culture because of the social distance and psychological distance from L2 group.

o A good learning situation is one where the social distance is little

o Psychological distance such as language shock and motivation are also account for this.

The Acculturation model of L2 Acquisition

Page 11: Social Aspects of  Interlanguage

Two problems of this model

o it fails to acknowledge that factors like ‘integration pattern’ and ‘attitude’ are variable and dynamic.

o Second, it fails to acknowledge that learners are not only subject to social condition but also the subject of them

Social Identity and Investment in L2 learning

The notion of ‘subject to’ and ‘subject of’ are central of the relationship between social context and L2 acquisition.

Social Identity and Investment in L2 learning

According to Pierce’s point of view, the notion of social identity is central to the theory

A learner’s social identity are ‘multiple and contradictory’

Social Identity and Investment in L2 learning

Learning process can be called successful if learners are able to construct an identity that enables them to impose their right to be heard

To realize this, it requires investment, something learners will only make if they believe their efforts will increase their value of ‘cultural capital’.

Social Identity and Investment in L2 learning

Social theory of L2 acquisition involves ‘struggle’ and ‘investment’Learners are battling to assert themselves and investor who expect a good return on their effortsSocio-cultural models of L2 acquisition are intended to account for learner’s relative success or failure in learning an L2.
