Out of the multiple theories presented what I found intriguing is how in hummanism second language acquisition. It goes beyond academic steps or strategies, but takes the human condition and emotional state such as making a safe, secure learning environment is needed.

I found behaviorism to be intriguing.  I think this is intriguing because this B.F. Skinner theory seems to make significant impact on conditioning people to behave or not behave in a certain way, including learning a second language.  I believe this is only one factor in what contributes to a person learning a second language, but nevertheless, still an important factor.  I think this theory exposes how some people care more for the rewards or consequences than what it is that gets them those rewards or consequences.

I was intrigued by the constructivism theory; how there is such diverse and unique ways of constructing language and acquiring second languages. This theory also supports specific differentiated instruction in the classroom as well.

I think it is interesting that there are several more theories about second language acquisition and less agreement on them than there was on first language acquisition.

I thought it was interesting when he brought up the point during the constructivism theory, that if you teach a lesson and ask students to tell you what they've learned, they will all tell you something different. This is because they have all experienced it and constructed meaning in their own individual way. Piaget and Bruner were influential in the development of constructivist ideas. They say that as learners are exposed to new language they modify their existing knowledge.

The thing I found most interesting is the admission that there is no agreed upon way that language is learned. Bits and pieces apply but no not one of the five theories can explain entirely how language is acquired. As I watched the video, I found myself agreeing with different aspects of each theory.

So, I'm putting the 1st Language Acquisition here. The most intriguing information from this video was, what seemed to be an evolution of theories. The first being the Nativist-that we are born with something universal in our brains, but then as more information was gathered, researchers realized there was more to language than just innate ability.

One thing I found intriguing for the video was the whole person approach that Maslow developed. I do think that students are able to concentrate better when they have been fed versus students that are distracted because they are hungry. I do agree that when are basic needs are satisfied we can focus on the other more abstract tasks that need our attention.

The constructivism theory is interesting in how we all acquire knowledge in our own unique way which is very important to teaching.

I really appreciated the section about socio-cultural perspectives. It seems that almost anyone that I've talked to that has learned a second language as an adult has only really felt that they've mastered it after spending some time immersed in that culture.

# data[].attributes.body
One thing I found interesting is how sociocultural perspectives can effect a students zone of proximal development. This is important to note because this is the area where students are constructively challenged.

Something that I found intriguing from the second video was the idea that the socialcultural dynamics of a classroom effect the students learning.

Socialcultural perspectives play an important part in our learning. If there is a dominant social student in the classroom who talks all the time or is enthusiastic about their learning it has an effect on the entire classroom. If that student were to be gone one day, the whole dynamic of the classroom would change.

One thing I found interesting from this second video is the Theory of Humanism. I feel this is so important and makes sense. Maslow's Hierarchy of needs show how someone can learn and functions by meeting each need on the pyramid to build upon the other needs. Teachers that follow this theory might start the day with a SEL lesson or warm up. It goes beyond the cognitive and takes on a more holistic approach. Makes sure students are ready to learn.

I like the mentioning of Piaget and the constructivist theory of language. I had little flashbacks to when I ask my students what they learned or noticed and so many students share something that is very specific and different from others.

# data[].attributes.body
One thing I found intriguing is the 2nd language Acquisition video is how there has been so much research done since Pavlov's theory of Behaviorism. It really shows how much more we know about language and the brain.
