This study investigates the second language (L2) acquisition of the English count/mass distinction speakers of Korean and Mandarin Chinese, with a focus on the semantics of atomicity. It is hypothesized that L1-Korean and L1-Mandarin L2-English learners are influenced atomicity in the use of the count/mass morphosyntax in English. Three predictions of the Cognition Hypothesis are that increasing the cognitive demands of tasks along the latter developmental dimensions will (a) push learners to greater accuracy and complexity of L2 production in order to meet the consequently greater functional/communicative demands they place on the learner and (b) promote interaction and Medium-of-Instruction Debate II: Teaching Chinese in Putonghua (TCP)? Authors; Authors and affiliations we will examine a selected number of psycholinguistic and neuroscience studies on young learners’ acquisition of L1 and L2 in multilingual settings, with a view to extrapolating insights from scientific research to inform the research According to Cook and Singleton (2014), second language acquisition (SLA) is primarily concerned with the interplay between a learner’s 2rst (L1) and an additional language (L2). Thus Li (2014) identi2es such an interplay in the interlanguage of Chinese learners of English. According to … What kind of data forms trigger acquisition of a parameter?

There are two types of language transfer: positive and negative transfers, depending on the similarities and differences of language features. When L1 knowledge facilitates L2 learning, positive transfer occurs; when the L2 is different from the L1, the learner’s L1 knowledge may interfere with L2 learning So you use your innate abilities to make generalizations, read context, listen to native speakers and imitate how they speak. Everything is on the line. You’ve got to learn how to communicate fast, otherwise you won’t get to eat—even when you’re sitting at a Chinese restaurant.

Based on naturally-occurring classroom data of L1 (American English) and L2 (Chinese- and Vietnamese-speaking learners of English) speakers, "Vague Language" shows that L2 speakers used 'some' more than L1 speakers and explores the significance of this, particularly taking account of speakers' language ability and cultural backgrounds. This study reports on a meta-analysis of the effectiveness of captioned video (i.e. L2 video with L2 subtitles) for listening comprehension and vocabulary learning in the … 2003 for Chinese natives learning German, English and French, Jin 1994 for English learners of Chinese and Muñoz 2000 for Spanish learning English, quoted in Chini 2005) have demonstrated that intermediate and advanced L2 speakers are more explicit in reference maintenance than natives of the target Abstract We sought to describe the strategies used 2L1 and L2 Basque-French bilingual children and monolingual Basque children to express subject-agent function in a free elicitation context in Basque. Based on a three-year longitudinal study, the analysis focused on transitive constructions requiring a subject-agent noun marked for ergative The study reported in this chapter is intended to contribute to the understanding of how L1 conceptualization of motion may exert influence on L2 use and acquisition of path expressions. It compares the behavior of 80 English-speaking L2 learners of Chinese to that of two baseline groups of 40 native speakers (NSs) of Chinese and 40 of English. Specially, for Spanish speakers, listening and speaking tend to be more complicated than the acquisition of other skills, such as reading or writing,since the former are quite difficult to practice when the student does not live in an English speaking country. For this reason, The present study examines the ways in which French intermediate learners of Mandarin Chinese express motion events in the framework of event conflation proposed Talmy (1985, 1991, 2000b).

The study aims to answer the well-known question why older L2 learners In contrast, for adjective placement, which is prenominal in both English and Chinese (the white vase) but often postnominal in French (le vase blanc), French learners showed a pattern that differed from both Chinese learners and native speakers. These data illustrate that L2 proficiency is not equal for all structures, and that native-like Canadian Social Science Vol. 6, No. 6, 2010, pp. 45-60 ISSN 1712-8056 [Print] ISSN 1923-6697[Online] 45 A Comparison Study on Word Association Between English Native Speakers and Chinese English Learners1 UNE ÉTUDE COMPARATIVE SUR L'ASSOCIATION DE MOTS ENTRE LES LOCUTEURS DE LANGUE MATERNELLE In sum, while respondents in the current study noted pronunciation as an advantage of learning from a NEST, there are questions about whether L2 learners can accurately identify native accents and indeed whether native-like pronunciation is an appropriate goal for L2 learners in Southeast Asia who will most often use English with other L2 users.

One hundred and ten adult learners completed four tasks orally (i.e., an oral comparing the heritage speakers with adult second language learners of Chinese, we concluded that the vulnerability of the heritage grammar in the discourse domain did not result from cross-linguistic influence from English. In different types of Chinese-English bilinguals, the dominant language affects the weaker language in different ways.

If the aim were to clone the native speaker, this would limit the functions of a second language to those that native speakers can carry out in their L1. While some L2 users may indeed need to speak to native speakers, the language that natives use to non-natives is a specific variety.
