First language acquisition (FLA) is defined as the acquisition of a single language in childhood, regardless of the number of languages in a child’s natural environment. Second language acquisition (SLA) is the language learned after the first language (L1) where the language is used widely in the speech community. According to Houmanfar, Hayes, and Herbst (2005), the first and second languages are interrelated and the history of the first language is a participatory factor in the acquisition of the

cultures, it is a fundamental human activity. Language acquisition is the process by which we acquire the capacity to perceive and comprehend language, as well as tom produce and use words and sentence to communicate. This essay will focus on how learners can acquire language through drama with the theme at the park. Firstly we will provide the definitions of the words “drama”, “language acquisition” role play and “park” secondly explains the context of this essay by including grade, number of learners
stated that, at the beginning of twenty-first century English language learning and English language teaching have become the center of attention in comparison to the twentieth century. As Crystal (1997) indicated "English language today has a special status in at least 70 or so countries and is most widely taught foreign language in over 100 other countries" (p.109). According to Selcuk (2009) these days, owing to the fact that English language includes various disciplines ranging from technology to the
Second language (L2) writing has always been a difficult area for second language learners and a interesting topic for second language researchers. Research on the L2 writing process has begun to thrive since the early 1980s. L2 writing is a complex process of discovery which involves brainstorming, multiple drafting, feedback practices, revision, and final editing. It is different from L1 writing, because L2 writers have more than one language at their disposal (Wang & Wen, 2002). There are two
mispronounce words you use when you are communicating in the second language? Do you think that the mistakes of pronunciation can be solved even when those have become a system in your mind? This document will present the definition of interlanguage and fossilization, and their changes over the time. Additionally, it will help learners of a second language to recognize whether or not they have fossilized words during the process of acquisition. At the same time, it will propose some strategies for solving
significant branch of linguistics. According to Crystal (2004), pragmatics is “ the study of language from the point of view of users, especially of the choices they make, the constraints
to the Hypothesis, for L2 acquisition to take place, the learner must be exposed to comprehensible input. In other words, Krashen answers the question about what mechanisms exist to allow learners to acquire a second language. He reaches a conclusion, stating that learners can achieve acquisition “by understanding messages, or by receiving comprehensible input.” Furthermore, the input must contain language structures which are at a higher level than the learner’s language is. Krashen calls this “i+1”
the world? Where can we use it and for what age groups is this approach suitable? How can TPR enhance the second language learning experience of young learners? We ask the question if TPR is a useful way to learn vocabulary and idiomatic terms. Lastly we will look at some examples to see how TPR is used in the second language-learning classroom.
