A COGNITIVE PERSPECTIVE ON SECOND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION PROCESS

Research Institute of Applied Linguistics, Zhejiang Univesity, Hangzhou 310027, China

Abstract: Second language acquisition (SLA) has been one of the central topics in cognitive science. Various theories regarding the SLA process have evolved and have been a subject of debate over the years. With a critical review of the competing theories of cognition and language development, this paper examines the differences between L1 and L2 acquisitional processes and then proposes a model of SLA process from a cognitive information-processing perspective. The pedagogic implications of this model are also discussed.

Key words: SLA, L1 acquisition, cognition, information-processing
