**An Integrated View of Second Language Acquisition **

**Apperceived Input ** || **Approaches: The Lexical Approach ** **Explanation: ** **The lexical approach is appropriate for the apperceived input state, where learners are becoming aware of the new language, but have not reached comprehension yet. In this approach intensive and extensive listening and reading in English is used with the biggest emphasis on listening (English Listening World, 2011). Activities should be repeated and reviewed several times over week’s long periods and students should learn word chunks as part of input (English Listening World, 2011). ** || **Materials and Resources Needed: ** **Short stories ** **Video stories ** **Computers ** **Earphones ** **Notebook (to record lexical chunks) ** || || **Approaches: Task Based Learning ** **Explanation: ** **Task based learning is appropriate for the comprehended input stage where students begin to build awareness of and analyze the target language. In this approach the goal is for students to need to use the target language (Bowen). After the students use the language then feedback and correction are given, therefore emphasis in first on creating and using the target language, then after feedback the student will correct and reuse the language. There is an organization that is used with task based learning: pre-task – introduction to activity, task – student engaged in the activity, and language focus/feedback – the teaching and correcting part of the activity (Bowen). ** || **Materials and Resources Needed: ** **Reading ****<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';"> resources: short stories, reference materials, menus, telephone book, anything used to get information. ** **<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Task sheet – questions ** **<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Other students to question ** || **<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Explanation: ** **<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">The constructivist approach is appropriate for the comprehended integration stage where students continue to build and start to make connections with their existing knowledge and store for later retrieval. In the constructivist approach the learner actively engages in their learning in a real world, student centered atmosphere. The students will take the input they get and analyze it to make real world meanings that connect to their lives and background knowledge. ** || **<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Materials and Resources Needed: ** **<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Short stories ** **<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Multicultural stories (fairy tales from different countries are great) ** **<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Non-fiction books (content area) ** **<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Listening centers ** **<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Computer centers ** **<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Literacy centers ** || **<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Explanation: ** **<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">The interactionist approach is appropriate for the output stage where students have acquired enough input to begin focusing on output. The interactionist approach focuses on the social aspect of learning. The interactionist approach’s aim is for students to become self sufficient problem solvers (Coker & White, 1993). ** || **<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Materials and Resources Needed: ** **<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Books for group reading or literature circles ** **<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Task based group activities ** **<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Project activities ** **<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Interviews ** || **<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">The Lexical Approach ** **<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Task Based Approach ** **<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Interactionist Approach ** **<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Oral Language Development ** **<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">typological approach ** **<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Approaches for Moderate English Proficiency ** **<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Task Based Approach ** **<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Interactionist Approach ** **<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Advanced Vocabulary Instruction ** **<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">typological approach ** **<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">functional approach ** **<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Approaches for Younger ESL Student ** **<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">The Lexical Approach ** **<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Interactionist Approach ** **<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Approaches for Middle School ** **<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">The Lexical Approach ** **<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Task Based Approach ** **<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Interactionist Approach ** **<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Advanced Vocabulary Approach ** **<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">typological approach ** **<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">functional approach ** **<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Approaches for High School ** **<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">The Lexical Approach ** **<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Task Based Approach ** **<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Interactionist Approach ** **<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Advanced Vocabulary Approach ** **<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">typological approach ** **<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">functional approach ** || **<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Materials and Resources Needed: ** **<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Multicultural stories ** **<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Short Stories ** **<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Non fiction and content area books ** **<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Videos ** **<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Interactive Language and reading games: see **[|**http://www.starfall.com/**] **<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Books online: see **[|**https://www.mycapstonelibrary.com/runtimelogin.aspx**] **<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Task based activities: see ** [|**http://www.willis-elt.co.uk/taskbased.html**] [|**http://tblt.net/free-lesson-plan/**] [|**http://iteslj.org/Lessons/**] ||
