English language is considered as an important tool to acquire a new and technical information and knowledge. In this situation English learners and teachers face a lot of problems psychologically. Neuro linguistic studies the brain mechanism and the performance of the brain in linguistic competences. The brain plays a main role in controlling motor and sensory activities and in the process of thinking. Studies regarding development of brain bring some substantiation for psychological and anatomical way of language development. Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) deals with psychological and neurological factors. It also deals with the mode of brain working and the way to train the brain to achieve the purpose. Many techniques are used in the NLP. It improves the fluency and accuracy in target language. It improves non-native speaker to improve the LSRW skills. This paper brings out the importance of the NLP in language learning and teaching. It also discusses the merits and demerits of the NLP in learning. It also gives the solution to overcome the problems and self-correction is motivated through neuro-linguistic programming.

English as a second language acquisition English Language Acquisition has a number of difficulties faced English language is regarded as world language in comparing with by learners. Most of the students show opposition to learn other language. English is the language which was spoken widely. English, because they consider English is not adequate for them.

Claudia Andrea Cárdenas Jiménez UNIVERSIDAD TECNOLÓGICA DE PEREIRA FACULTAD DE BELLAS ARTES Y HUMANIDADES LICENCIATURA EN LENGUA INGLESA PEREIRA 2014 Scaffolding students' phonological competence through the integration of pronunciation learning strategies RESUMEN Este documento presenta principalmente un proyecto de investigación referente a la experiencia de integrar estrategias de pronunciación como una manera de mejorar y promover procesos metacognitivos en cursos de pronunciación en un programa de enseñanza de idiomas. Autores como Celce-Murcia, Brinton, & Goodwin, (2010) argumentan que exponer a los aprendices a las estrategias apropiadas facilita el desarrollo y el alcance de las metas académicas. Este estudio resalta la urgencia de incorporar ciertas estrategias que permitan a los estudiantes de idiomas o a los maestros en formación monitorear su aprendizaje de la pronunciación de una segunda lengua. Teniendo en cuenta esto, a los maestros en formación se les instruyó en el uso y aplicación de las cuatro estrategias de aprendizaje de la pronunciación (LPS) que en la opinión de Pawlak (2010) se definen como acciones deliberadas y pensamientos que se emplean conscientemente, a menudo en una secuencia lógica, para el aprendizaje y la obtención de un mayor control sobre el uso de diversos aspectos de la pronunciación.

  • Language Development Language Development
    Language Development rom their very first cries, human beings communicate with the world around them. Infants communicate through sounds (crying and cooing) and through body lan- guage (pointing and other gestures). However, sometime between 8 and 18 months Fof age, a major developmental milestone occurs when infants begin to use words to speak. Words are symbolic representations; that is, when a child says “table,” we understand that the word represents the object. Language can be defined as a system of symbols that is used to communicate. Although language is used to communicate with others, we may also talk to ourselves and use words in our thinking. The words we use can influence the way we think about and understand our experiences. After defining some basic aspects of language that we use throughout the chapter, we describe some of the theories that are used to explain the amazing process by which we Language9 A system of understand and produce language.

  • A Linguistic Perspective on the Acquisition of German As an L2
    i A Linguistic Perspective on the Acquisition of German as an L2 A thesis submitted to the Miami University Honors Program in partial fulfillment of the requirements for University Honors with Distinction by Nicholas D. Stoller (December 2006) Oxford, Ohio ii ABSTRACT A LINGUISTIC PERSPECTIVE ON THE ACQUISITION OF GERMAN AS AN L2 by Nicholas D. Stoller It is obvious that the setting of acquisition, the amount and type of input, and the motivation of learners play a large role in adult second language (L2) acquisition. Many of the theories of L2 acquisition unfortunately fail to adequately take these variables into account. This thesis gives an overview of the current and past theories, including evidence for and against each theory. This is supplemented by an error analysis of second year Miami University students to see if this can give support to any of the current theories. Once that is completed, I examine the relation between input and the possibility of a language learning device such as UG and then move on to pedagogical application of my findings. iii Contents Chapter Page 1 Introduction 1 2 2 The Basis of the Study of L2 Acquisition 2 3 Linguistic Theories of L2 Acquisition 7 3.1 Theories without UG 7 3.1.1 Contrastive Analysis Hypothesis 7 3.1.2 Markedness Difference Hypothesis 8 3.1.3 Fundamental Difference Hypothesis 9 3.1.4 Information Processing Approach 10 3.2 Theories with Partial UG 13 3.2.1 Transfer Hypothesis 13 3.2.2 Krashen’s Comprehension Hypothesis 14 3.3 Theories with Full UG use 19 3.3.1 Identity Hypothesis 19 3.3.2 Full Transfer/Full Access Hypothesis 20 3.4 Overview of the Theories 21 4 Error Analysis and Miami University 2nd 22 Year Students 4.1 Errors of Cases Following Verbs 23 4.2 Errors of Gender of Nouns 25 4.3 Errors of Verb Form 26 4.4 Errors of Umlaut Usage 29 5 Relation of UG and Input 30 6.1 Problems with Input in Classroom Instruction 33 6.2 Pedagogy and L2 Acquisition 35 7 Conclusion 40 Bibliography 42 iv 1 A Linguistic Perspective on the Acquisition of German as an L2 1.

    Top Lang Disorders Vol. 34, No. 4, pp. 313–328 Copyright c 2014 Wolters Kluwer Health | Lippincott Williams & Wilkins The Role of Language in Theory of Mind Development Jill G. de Villiers and Peter A. de Villiers Various arguments are reviewed about the claim that language development is critically connected to the development of theory of mind. The different theories of how language could help in this process of development are explored. A brief account is provided of the controversy over the capacities of infants to read others’ false beliefs. Then the empirical literature on the steps in theory of mind development is summarized, considering studies on both typically developing and various language-delayed children. Suggestions are made for intervention by speech language pathologists to enhance the child’s access to understanding the minds of others.

  • The Role of Pragmatics in English Language Teaching. Pragmatic Competence
    E-ISSN 2281-4612 Academic Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies Vol 2 No 4 ISSN 2281-3993 Published by MCSER-CEMAS-Sapienza University of Rome May 2013 The role of Pragmatics in English Language Teaching. Pragmatic Competence Nivis Deda MA University of Shkodra “Luigj Gurakuqi” E-mail: [email protected] Doi:10.5901/ajis.2012.v2n4p63 Abstract: Pragmatics is the way we convey the meaning through the communication. The meaning includes verbal and non verbal elements and it varies according to the context, to the relationship between utterers, also to many other social factors.Its dynamic growth makes English an international language that connects people all around the world. As a consequence, English can be regarded as the common focus of all English speakers who do not share a language or a culture. As a matter of fact, English is spoken in different settings and levels of intercommunication. As a result, speakers must know many pragmatic elements in order to avoid inaccuracies and misunderstandings during communication. Such a great usage of English language requires a pragmatic competence which will help all those who speak or learn English as a second language. Thomas defined pragmatic competence as “… the ability to analyze language in a conscious manner.” (as cited in Holmes & Brown, 2007, p 524).Pragmatic competence refers to the ability to comprehend, construct utterances which are accurate and appropriate to the social and cultural circumstances where the communication occurs. Pragmatic competence should be a leading goal for all those who teach English as a second language, which simultaneously represents a challenging task as well.

    The story of language acquisition: From words to world and back again Amy Pace Temple University Dani F. Levine Temple University Giovanna Morini University of Delaware Kathy Hirsh-Pasek Temple University Roberta Michnick Golinkoff University of Delaware Pace, A., Levine, D., Morini, G., Hirsh-Pasek, K. & Golinkoff, R.M. (2016) The story of language acquisition: From words to world and back again. In L. Balter and C. Tamis-LeMonda C. (Eds.), Child Psychology: A Handbook of Contemporary Issues, 3rd Edition. 43-79. 1 Introduction Imagine an infant visiting the zoo with her mother. From her stroller, she observes a troop of capuchins on a nearby tree. Her mother points to the scene and says, “Look! The monkeys are grooming each other!” How might she come to understand that her mother’s arbitrary auditory signals represent something about a scene that she is witnessing? How does she parse the continuous actions of the apes to derive appropriate units of meaning such as agents or actions from this complex, dynamic event? And how might she make the correct assumptions about how the words relate to the unfolding events before her? Despite recent advances, much of the current debate centers on the classical questions of how infants map words onto the dazzling array of sights and sounds in their world and how this process is guided by development and experience. Indeed, the field is still pondering the classic gavagai story that was introduced in 1960 by Quine. Given the complexity of the world, how is a language learner to know that the foreign word gavagai uttered while a rabbit scurries by, refers to the entire rabbit rather than to the fur, ears, or ground on which it thumps.
