University Buddies
Keywords/Questions Notes
 Acculturation and
Language Learning
 Dominance
 Acculturation involves social and psychological
factors that determine social contact and proximity.
 Language is a subset of culture, and language
learning is a subset of culture learning.
 Language learning is possible only to the degree
that the learner acculturates.
 Adoption of the target language group's lifestyle
and values is not necessary for language learning,
but social and psychological contact is necessary.
 Social Distance Variables:
 If the language learner (LL) group is not dominant
politically, economically, or socially, then it will not
acquire the target language (TL).
 The LL and target language group viewing each
other as socially equal results in more social contact
and a greater chance of the LL group learning the
TL.
 Both groups want the LL group to assimilate.
 Low enclosure: both groups expect to share social
facilities.
 The language learner group is small and not very
cohesive.
 If the LL group is big and cohesive, there will be
more intragroup interaction than intergroup
interaction.
o Congruence: If the LL group's culture is
congruent with that of the target language
group, the LL group is more likely to learn the
TL group's culture and language.
o Both groups have positive attitudes towards
each other.
o Length of stay: The LL group sees itself
staying in the target language area for an
extended period.
o Integration strategy: Will they assimilate,
preserve, or adapt?
o Psychological Distance Variables:
o Language Shock: The feeling that when one
speaks a new language, they appear comic.
o Culture Shock: Anxiety resulting from the
disorientation encountered upon entering
another culture.
 Motivation:
o Functional: Only to the point that objectives
are met.
o Internal: The person wants to learn the TL on
their own.
o External: The person needs to be motivated
by rewards/punishment.
o Integrative: So that they can live with the
target group.
o Ego boundaries: How willing are you to
become another person?
 Teaching Implications: To effectively teach a second
language, a teacher must consider the social and
psychological factors that affect language learning.
Teachers must create an environment that
encourages social contact and proximity between
the LL and target language group. They must also be
aware of the psychological factors that can affect
language learning, such as motivation and ego
boundaries. Teachers must strive to create a positive
learning environment that promotes cultural
understanding and acceptance.
Summary
 The self-learning video discusses the concept of acculturation, which refers to the
social and psychological factors that determine social contact resulting in social
distance or proximity. Language learning is a subset of culture learning, and a
learner will learn the language only to the degree that they acculturate. The
adoption of the target language group's lifestyle and values is not necessary for
learning the language, but social and psychological contact are necessary. The
passage also discusses various social distance and psychological distance
variables that affect language learning, such as dominance, assimilation,
preservation, adaptation, language shock, culture shock, motivation, and ego
boundaries. Finally, the passage raises the question of how these factors will affect
teaching.
