Varriano Second Language Acquisition Dr. Darbes May 30th, 2014 Abstract This paper posits that through testing a predictive model for second language acquisition, low native language proficiency will be a salient factor on achievement in L2. Through a theory-based model, the biological and individual factors under investigation were as follows: age, time in the country, L1 literacy level, urban/rural upbringing, motivation, integrativeness, and interrupted formal education. A sample of…
Speed of Sound Objective: To measure the speed of sound in air at room temperature using resonance in air columns. Equipment: Resonance column apparatus, a set of tuning forks. Reference: R.D. Knight, Physics for Scientists and Engineers, Ch.21 Superposition Theory: You will determine the speed of sound in air by measuring the wavelength of a standing wave for a sound of known frequency. A standing wave is what you get when two or more traveling waves combine in such a way that…

indicated that when the students speak among peers in their speech communities, code-switching occurs regardless of L1 or L2 language usage. The culture of the speech community at the Broadmoor Apartments was very friendly and non-discriminating. Code-switching is being used in the social setting as a way to bridge the gaps for L1 speakers who are trying to get to a stronger L2 level. They (the weaker speaker) know where they need to be, but getting there is a struggle. This is also occurring among…
Three of the earliest teaching methods were the Grammar-Translation Method, the Direct Method, and the Audio-lingual Method. Discuss these three methods. Also, explain their shortcomings which led to more current approaches in the teaching of grammar to L2 speakers. 1. i) Grammar Translation Method (GTM): Grammar-translation method is the extension of the Classical method which began in Germany (Prussia) in the late 18th century. It was then become popular in the early 19th century. It is one of…
