We would like to invite the entire TESOL - AL community to attend the final
plenary talk of the inaugural Teachers College, Columbia University
Roundtable in Second Language studies. Professor Nick Ellis from the
University of Michigan will be speaking about Second Language Cognition (see
abstract below). It will be held in Cowin Auditorium in Horace Mann Hall on
Saturday, Oct. 2 from 4:30 - 5:30. There is no fee for attending.




Second Language Cognition

Nick C. Ellis
University of Michigan

cognition
[ad. L. cognitio a getting to know]

This paper describes and illustrates 8 principles of Second Language
Cognition that have come from the last 20 years of research mostly
concerning languages other than Chinese. It encourages the testing of their
generality to Chinese as a Second Language.


* The fundamental premise is that language is intrinsically
symbolic, constituted by a structured inventory of constructions as
conventionalized form-meaning pairings used for communicative purposes.
Language is a Complex Adaptive System: it emerges from usage and is acquired
from usage.

* Constructions vary in abstraction from concrete, particular
items (words and idioms) to schematic classes (as in word classes or
abstract syntactic constructions). Constructions may be simultaneously
represented and stored in multiple forms, at various levels of abstraction
(e.g., concrete item: table+s = tables and [Noun] + (morpheme +s) = plural
things).

* Abstract constructions are meaningful linguistic symbols in
their own right, existing independently of particular lexical items.
Nevertheless, constructions and the particular lexical tokens that occupy
them attract each other. Grammar, lexis, and meaning are inseparable. They
resonate.

* Construction learning, like other aspects of cognition, involves
processes of perception, attention, categorization, schematization, and
memory.

* Competence and performance emerge as a frequency-tuned
conspiracy of memorized exemplars of use of these constructions. Competence
is the integrated sum of prior usage, performance is its dynamic
contextualized activation.

* Development is gradual, moving from an initial heavy reliance on
concrete items to more abstract linguistic schema. This process is crucially
dependent on the type and token frequencies with which particular
constructions appear in the input. Storage of wholes depends on token
frequency, development of abstract linguistic schema depends on type
frequency. Zipfian distributions of language emerge from language usage,
and, in turn, make language learnable and robust.

* Language acquisition is affected by attention. Salient forms are
better attended and better acquired. Cues learned early in learning block
the acquisition of later-experienced forms. L1 learned-attention and
entrenchment thus limit the endstate of usage-based SLA.

* These limitations can be overcome by recruiting learner
consciousness, putting them into a dialectic tension between the conflicting
forces of their current stable states of interlanguage and the evidence of
explicit form-focused feedback, either linguistic, pragmatic, or
metalinguistic, that allows socially scaffolded development.

otima ideia Luis.

Comentário de Luis Gonçalves em 18 setembro 2010 às 21:14

Que tal passar o nome do grupos para Professores de Português nos EUA e cada estado abre um tópico nos Fóruns de discussão? (Nós abriríamos um Fórum para professores em NY ou na zona tri-estatal)
Assim podemos convidar todos os professores que trabalham nos EUA que estão na comunidade e ficamos a saber das atividades e eventos no país todo.
