Activity 1_Differences and similarities between L1 & L2 by Bich Tran https://padlet.com/daovanphungphd/Activity1_L1versusL2 en-us 2017-05-10 20:09:23 UTC 2017-05-11 16:16:37 UTC hello@padlet.com Aline, Gabrielle, Yisel, Kerrilyn https://padlet.com/daovanphungphd/Activity1_L1versusL2/wish/171297323
Both need interaction to be fully acquired. 
They both go through developmental sequences.

Cognitive differences: 
l1 you already have some metalinguistic awareness.
The amount of time that older second language learners have is considerably different. 
The sequence will be different for l2.
Motivation for learning l2 is different with age. 
For some l2 is for specific reasons]]> 2017-05-11 16:00:03 UTC https://padlet.com/daovanphungphd/Activity1_L1versusL2/wish/171297323 Sophie, Vanessa, Claudia, Anne-Marie https://padlet.com/daovanphungphd/Activity1_L1versusL2/wish/171297388
Similarities
Developmental sequence
- Grammatical morpheme acquisition follows a general sequence

Purpose of learning a language
- Communication
- Being understood

Social interaction is required in order to learn a language.

Differences
- Second language learners already have an L1 (prior knowledge of language learning)
*Advantage: learner has an idea of how languages and language learning work
*Disadvantage: learner can create mistakes that an L1 learner would not make

- Cognitive maturity and metalinguistic awareness (L2 learners see languages as an object)

- Purpose of learning the language (extrinsic or intrinsic motivation) 

- Amount of exposure to the language (L1 learners will be more exposed to the language than L2 learners in most cases)

-the stages of acquisition are similar (even though there is some variation within them depending on factors such as their first language)
-learning patterns are predictable
-learning conditions have an impact (input/exposure, etc.)
-pragmatics needs to be learned

Differences:
-when learning a second language, having acquired a first language can affect their acquisition
-when learning a second language, pronunciation is a challenge
-fossilization ]]> 2017-05-11 16:01:25 UTC https://padlet.com/daovanphungphd/Activity1_L1versusL2/wish/171297679 David, Dina, Silvia https://padlet.com/daovanphungphd/Activity1_L1versusL2/wish/171298034 -L1 learners don't have cognitive maturity or metalinguistic awareness that older L2 learners have.
-L1 learn through imitation and practice  vs L2 learn through prior knowledge of L1 and their understanding of the language itself. 
-Errors for L1 are based on generalization. Errors from L2 are from transfer.

Differences: Learning expectations (influenced by age); age influences learning ability (metalinguistic awareness); prior linguistic knowledge; based on context L2 cannot necessarily be fully acquired = context is key for L2 acquisition; L2 can be classroom taught (not necessarily learner motivated) = need for motivation is different than with L1; Learning conditions are different
