One

Q: How does habit formation involve language learning in behaviourist learning theory?

A: According to this theory, all behavior is determined by the environment either through association or reinforcement, including language learning. It involves habit formation that is formed when a learner could give his response to a given stimulus. It would be remembered when his responses reinforced.

Two

Q: What are emphasized in behaviourist learning theory and a mentalist theory of language learning?

A: Behaviourist accounts of second language emphasize only what can be observed (the input to the learner and the learner’s own output), but a mentalist theory of language learning emphasizes the nature of learners (how the innate properties of the human mind shape learning).

Three

Q: Why is the learner’s grammar called permeable?

A: The learner’s grammar is permeable because the grammar is open to influence from the outside by the input and the inside, from example, the omission, overgeneralization, and transfer error.

Four

Q: Why do most learners fossilize?

A: Because only about five percent of learners go on to develop the same mental grammar as native speakers. It is usually caused by backsliding (the production of errors representing an early stage of development.

Five

Q: What is the meaning of the computational model of L2 acquisition?

A: The learner is exposed to input, which is processed into stages. First, parts of it are attended to and taken into short-term memory. Second, some of the intake is stored in long term memory as L2 knowledge. The processes responsible for creating intake and L2 knowledge occur within the “black box” of the learner’s mind where the learner’s interlanguage is constructed. Finally, L2 knowledge is used by the learner to produce spoken and written output.
