Editor's Notes
- #3 The Acculturation Model of Second Language Acquisition was formulated by John H. Schumann in order to determine factors involved in the second-language learning process. The acculturation model is an attempt to provide a social and psychological perspective on second-language acquisition. We shall get into the details of these social and psychological factors in awhile. Acculturation is one of the derivatives of the word acculturate, which means: to “assimilate or cause to assimilate a different culture, typically the dominant one.” Assimilate, that is, to be absorbed into a different culture or to be integrated to a different culture. In the context of our discussion, we are concerned with “the social and psychological integration of the learner with the target language (TL) group – that is the group that speaks the language a learner intends to learn. In the acculturation model of SLA, we are talking about the natural context of SLA, that is, learning the language without instruction and in the environment where it is spoken.
- #7 While there are many factors influencing second language acquisition, the acculturation model, as hinted in the awhile ago, is mainly concerned with the social factors and affective factors that may influence the success or failure in the acquisition of an L2.
- #8 Social Factors – refer to the relationship between two social groups who are in a contact situation, but who speak different languages. Social factors can either promote or inhibit contact between the two groups and thus affect the degree to which the 2LL group acculturates (integrates) which in turn affects the degree to which that group will acquire the target language.TARGT LANGAUGE GROUP – the group that speaks the language (target language) that the 2LL wishes to learn.
- #16 ENCLOSURE - If the two groups share these social constructs then enclosure said to be low, contact bet the two groups is enhanced and acquisition of the target language by the 2LL group is enhanced.
