People adopt the slang their friends use to fit in. People talk differently using different words and gestures accordingly to the different group of people like old people, children, women, men, teens, rich, poor, powerful, weak, etc.
It can be the process of cultural change that occurs when individuals from different cultural backgrounds come into prolonged, continuous, first-hand contact with each other
The plasticity of the brain makes capable to a children to acquire not only their first language but also a second language.
At birth, the speech muscles are developed only to the extent that the larynx control sustained cries. These speech muscles gradually develop, and control of some complex sounds in certain languages (in English the r and l typical).
There is evidence in neurological research that as the human brain matures certain functions are assigned - or "lateralized".
The process begins around the age of 2 and is completed around puberty.
Lenguage Acquisition
The child is able to neurologically assigning functions little by little to one side of the brain or the other, in the case the acquisition of a second language too
In the case of a children up to the age of puberty, suffer a injury to the left hemisphere, this is able to relocalize linguistic functions to the right hemisphere, to “re-learn”
This model suggests the learning occurs through the use between subconscious and automatic processes and conscious and analytical processes, the learner can active one or other, according to the type of discourse that the learner uses.
The process of language.
Is more pragmatic than we think, people have far more understanding of the language than what is expressed in discourse.
The product of language.
Is the plan and unplanned discourse discussed previously, where the user chooses to speak out of a source of general knowledge to provide automatic information or to speak meticulously planning ahead what is to be said.
Learning.
• Conscious process.
• Formal instruction.
• Grammar.
• Main concepts
Acquisition.
• Subconscious process.
• Meaningful interaction.
• Communicative act.
• Main concepts.
This states that learners progress in their knowledge of the language when they comprehend language input that is slightly more advanced than their current level.
The monitor hypothesis asserts that a learner's learned system acts as a monitor to what they are producing. In other words, while only the acquired system is able to produce spontaneous speech, the learned system is used to check what is being spoken.
Communicative competence is the ability to achieve communicative goals in a socially appropriate manner. it includes the ability to select and apply skills that are appropriate and effective in the respective context. It includes verbal and non-verbal behaviour.
A critical stage for a consideration of the effects of age on second language acquisition appears to occur, in Piaget’s outline, at puberty (age 11 in his model). It is here that a person becomes capable of abstraction, of formal thinking which transcends concrete experience and direct perception.
Children learning two languages simultaneously use the same acquisition strategies.
People learn two languages in the same environment, and the same time the culture of that place (Way to speak)
People learn two languages in different contexts (home and school)
Human cognition develops rapidly throughout the first 16 years of life and less rapidly after adulthood. Some of these changes are critical, others are more gradual and difficult to detect.
