INFLUENCING FACTORS OF LEARNING

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
L1and L2 are compared and examined together to be able to predict learning difficulties in ____ hypothesis
A
interlanguage
B
critical period
C
contrastive analysis
D
natural order
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In order to identify the areas of difficulty, a procedure called Contrastive Analysis was developed. This was founded on the belief that it was possible, by establishing the linguistic differences between the learner’s L1 and L2, to predict what problems the learner of a particular L2 would face.

Detailed explanation-2: -Together, L1 and L2 are the major language categories by acquisition. In the large majority of situations, L1 will refer to native languages, while L2 will refer to non-native or target languages, regardless of the numbers of each.

Detailed explanation-3: -The L2=L1 hypothesis states that the acquisition of the L2 proceeds in much the same way as the acquisition of the L1. L2 acquisition is not seen, then, as a process of habit-formation but as a creative process in which leamers take an active role just as first language leamers do.
