  1. The Nature of Learner Language Second language Acquisition – Rod Ellis

  2. Explainer • Dias Wicaksono • 2201410026 • Introduction to SLA • Rombel 03

  3. Error and Error Analysis • A conspicuous feature of learner language • Useful to teachers to know what error learners make • Making errors may actually help learners to learn

  4. Identifying Error • Comparing the sentences learners produce • Checking the consistency of learners’ performance • A clear distinction between error and mistake may not be posssible

  5. Describing Error • Classifying errors into grammatical categories • Identifying the general ways in which the learner’s utterances differ from reconstructed target language utterances • Omission, misordering, and misinformation

  6. Explaining Error • Errors are not only systematic, many of them are also universal • Some errors seem to be universal, reflecting learners’ attempt to make the task of learning and using the L2 simpler

  7. Error Evaluation • Some Errors can be considered more serious than others because they are more likely to interfere with the intelligibility

  8. Developmental Patterns

  9. The Early Stages of L2 acquisition • Some L2 learners particularly if they are children undergo silent period • L2 speech is propositional simplification

  10. The Order of Acqusition • Investigating the order of acquisition by choosing a number of grammatical structures • Acquisition treats like a process of accumulating language structures

  11. Sequence of Acquisition • The acquisition must be seen as a process involving transitional constructional • Acquisition follows a U-shaped course of development

  12. Some Implications • L2 is systematic, to a large extent, univeral, reflecting in which internal cognitive mechanism control of acquisition, and irrespective of the personal background

  13. Variability in Learner Language • Language leaarning is systematic • L2 learners vary in their use of the L2 according to linguistic context • Learners also vary the linguistic forms they use in accordance with situational context
