Seeking a Role for Grammar. A Review of Some Recent Studies
Studies of the impact of formal instruction consistently show that more instruction results in, at best, modest increases in consciously‐learned competence, a conclusion that is consistent with the claims of the Monitor hypothesis
The Effect of Reading on the Acquisition of English Relative Clauses
49 adult acquirers of English as a second language took two tests probing restrictive relative clause competence. The amount of reported pleasure reading done by subjects were the only significant predictor of both measures. Neither years of formal study nor length of residence in the United States was a significant predictor. These results are consistent with the input hypothesis
Conversational Language Proficiency among International Students at the University Level
A common assumption is that international students in English-speaking countries have well-developed competence in academic language, but have deficiencies in conversational language. This assumption is in contrast to the situation among limited English speaking children (CUMMINS, 1989). If true, this lack of conversational language is a problem; even if international students do not plan to reside in an English-speaking country after their studi…
The case for narrow listening
"Comments on Stephen D. Krashen's "Teaching Issues
In my view, the data from White et al. does not tell us whether direct instruction resulted in acquired or learned competence. To show that learned knowledge becomes acquired or underlying competence, one must demonstrate an impact on tests that tap only acquired competence. Lightbown and Pienemann maintain that evidence from Spada and Lightbown (1993) shows that the oral test was indeed a test of acquired competence because children showed no ev…

The Din in the Head, Input, and the Language Acquisition Device
A bstract This paper discusses a phenomenon familiar to many language acquirers, an involuntary rehearsal of second language words, sounds, and phrases. Current second language acquisition theory as well as case history reports of the “din” are consistent with the hypothesis that the din in the head is a result of stimulation of the language acquisition device, and is “set off” when the acquirer receives significant amounts of comprehensible inpu…

Acquiring a Second Language
Perhaps the most important discovery researchers in second-language acquisition have made in recent years is something that most people knew already: acquiring a second language is not simply a matter of 'knowing the rules'. Real second-language competence is subconscious knowledge, similar to knowledge of a first language. Competent second-language users, like competent users of the native language, do not think grammatical rules when they are p…

Age, Rate and Eventual Attainment in Second Language Acquisition
(1) Adults proceed through early stages of syntactic and morphological development faster than children (where time and exposure are held constant). (2) Older children acquire faster than younger children (again, in early stages of morphological and syntactic development where time and exposure are held constant). (3) Acquirers who begin natural exposure to second languages during childhood generally achieve higher second language proficiency tha…

Is There a "Natural Sequence" in Adult Second Language Learning
The Bilingual Syntax Measure (Burt, Dulay, and Hernandez 1973) was administered to 73 adult learners of English as a second language in order to investigate accuracy of usage for eight English functors. It was found that there is a highly consistent order of relative difficulty in the use of the functors across different language backgrounds, indicating that learners are experiencing intra-language difficulties. Also, the adult results agreed wit…
Formal and Informal Linguistic Environments in Language Acquisition and Language Learning
While some studies indicate that adults can efficiently utilize informal linguistic environments for second language acquisition, other studies suggest that the classroom is of greater benefit. This conflict is resolved in three ways. Evidence is presented to support the hypothesis that informal and formal environments contribute to different aspects of second language competence, the former affecting acquired competence and the latter affecting …

Lateralization, Language Learning, and the Critical Period
New evidence is presented that modifies Lenneberg's (1967) proposed critical period of language acquisition. The development of lateralization is complete much earlier than puberty and is thus not a barrier to accent free second language learning by adults. Rather, the development of lateralization may correspond to normal first language acquisition. Also, the case of Genie, a girl who endured 11 years of enforced isolation, shows that some first…
Adult Performance on the Slope Test
Sixty-six adult speakers of English as a second language were tested on the SLOPE test, a measure of oral production covering 20 structures in English. The difficulty order found was not significantly different from that found in children learning English as a second language in previous studies (Fathman 1975b), and no significant difference was found between speakers of different first languages. These results confirm and extend Bailey, Madden, …
The Essential Contributions of Formal Instruction in Adult Second Language Learning
One way of investigating what happens to the language learning capacity at puberty is to examine what the essential contributions of formal instruction are: since formal instruction is so useful for the adult and non-essential for the child language learner, it is probably the case that the main contributions formal instruction makes are in just those areas where the LAD is affected at puberty. A feature-type comparison of language teaching metho…

Is the "Natural Order" an Artifact of the Bilingual Syntax Measure
In a recent study, Porter (1977) reported that the rank order for grammatical morphemes in obligatory contexts between child first language acquirers using the BSM was "moderately dissimilar" to that found for child second language acquirers using the BSM. Also, correlations between the L1 BSM order and child L1 orders obtained from spontaneous speech are "highly dissimilar". He suggests that the order obtained with the BSM could be "an artifact …
