这是香港理工大学TESOL专业的一个ESSAY  题目是下面三个题目选一个

  1. 1300-1500 words, 12-point font size, 1.5 or double spacing, cover sheet with name, student number, course title and topic

   * topic 1 Discuss whether or not, or to what degree these key stages and points relate to SLA:

  1. Content should include a brief mention of innatist and cognitivist theories

  2. Certain SLA factors are not found in FLA: socio-cultural, strategic and affective factors. e.g. Note: Parellel structure is better than FLA than SLA than comparison

  3. Conclude by  deciding whether or not FLA has little to tell us about SLA

  4. take a comparative approach: identify key stages and points relating to FLA, such as type of input, order of acquisition, hypothesis testing and error types, critical period

   * topic 2

  1. define the ted communicative competence: cc = competence + performance = combination of formal correctness and use-related capabilities

  2. identify the key areas that need to be developed to achieve communicative competence: refer to sources such as Canale and Swain, Hymes and Bachman, including consideration of their models

  3. conclude by considering whether or the case for performance is supported/ not supported by the fact that most learner of L2 are not motivated primarily by a desire to communicate with native speakers of L2

   * topic 3

  1. define and explain the term inter language by discussing stages of learning and the potential for learners to fossilise at particular stages refer to sources such as Elllis, Gass, Selinker and Tarone

  2. present mini-samples of your students' written work that appear to present evidence of the existence of interlanguage stages e.g. fossilised items:  consider in the discussion whether or not the sales reflect both inter- and intralingual errors.

  3. conclude by suggesting teaching strategies that might help to prevent fossilisation and so keep developing speakers' interlanguage

我觉得这个作业还是比较简单的，因为老师将很多要点都提示了

譬如说第一个TOPIC

你可以讨论SLA（second language acquisition）的社会因素  这里也介绍了VYGOTSKY的一些理论

这个文章有不少信息 http://pubs.sciepub.com/education/1/5/3/

里面表示SLA很受INTERACTION的影响。。

这个PPT表示学习者的文化背景决定了他们学习的方法和速度http://www.slideshare.net/drrubrico/sociocultural-factors-in-sla

你可以这么去写。

The socio-cultural factor is a variable that should be considered by teachers in both SLA and FLA. The cultural background of the learner dictates how they acquire information from the external world and how they are involved in language acquisition. Vygotsky’s social-cultural theory, for instance, suggests that social interaction is an effective way for children to acquire a language. Vygotsky also introduced a concept known as the Ozone of Proximal Development, in which teachers play an important role in individual learns’ ability to accomplish learning tasks. In some cultures, teachers may provide instruction directly and this is a teacher-centred approach. But in other cultures, the approach is student-oriented and teachers work as assistants. This difference may be explained by cultural factors.
