    Social Aspects of Interlanguage

    Uploaded by

    This document discusses three social aspects of interlanguage: 1. Interlanguage consists of different styles based on social context, such as careful vs. vernacular styles. 2. Social factors determine the input that shapes interlanguage as learners interact with native speakers. 3. Learners negotiate their social identities through interactions with native speakers. It presents theories on interlanguage as a stylistic continuum, the role of social and cultural factors in second language acquisition, and how social identity and investment influence learning. The theories have limitations but aim to understand how social context impacts interlanguage development.

    Introduction
    Three approaches to incorporating a social
    angle of L2 acquisition :
    1. Interlanguage as consisting of different
    styles
    2. How social factors determine the input
    that construct interlanguage
    3. How the social identities learners
    negotiating in their interactions with native
    speakers

    Elements
    Interlanguage as a stylistic continuum
    The aculturation model of L2
    acquisition
    Social identity and investment in L2
    learning

    Interlanguage as a stylistic
    continuum
    Careful style
    Elaine Tarone

    Stylistic
    Continuum

    Vernacular
    style
    Convergence

    Howard Giles

    Accomodation
    Theory
    Divergence

    Stylistic Continuum
    Learners develop capability for using
    the L2 and this undelies all regular
    language behaviour.

    Careful Style
    Evident when learners are consciuosly
    attending to their choice of linguistic
    forms, as when they need to be
    correct.

    Vernacular Style
    Evident when learners are making
    spontaneous choices of linguistic
    forms as is likely in free conversation.

    The Models Problems in


    Tarones Theory
    1.Learners are not always most
    accurate in their careful style and least
    accurate in their vernacular style.
    2.The role of social factors remains
    unclear.

    In short, Tarones theory seems to relate


    more to psycholinguistic rather than
    social factors in variation.

    Howard Giless Accommodation


    Theory
    Explain how a learners social group
    influences
    the
    course
    of
    L2
    acquisition.
    The key idea is social accommodation

    Convergence process : When people


    interact with each other they either try to
    make their speech similar to that of their
    adressee in order to emphasize social
    cohesiveness.
    Divergence process : When people interact
    with each other they either try to make it
    different in order to emphasize their social
    distinctiveness.

    According to Giless theory, social factors


    influence interlanguage development via
    the impact they have on the attitudes that
    determine the kinds of language use
    learners engage in.

    The Acculturation Model of L2


    acquisition
    John
    Schumanns
    acculturation
    model : social factors determine the
    amount of contact with the L2
    individual learners experience and
    thereby how successful they are in
    learning.

    The Models Problems in


    Schumanns Theory
    1. It fails to acknowledge the factors like
    integration pattern and attitude are not
    fixed and static but variable and dynamic
    fluctuating in accordance with the learners
    changing social experiences.
    2. It fails to acknowledge that learners are not
    just subject to social conditions but can
    also become the subject of them.

    Social Identity and Investment


    in L2 Learning
    Bonny Pierces view in relationship
    between social context and L2
    acquistition.
    Language learners have complex
    social identities that can only be
    understood in terms of the power
    relations that shape social structures.

    The
    learners
    success
    require
    investment, something learners will
    only make if they believe their efforts
    will increase the value of their cultural
    capital.
