【样题】

I. Decide whether the statements are true (T) or false (F) (每小题2分,共20分)

1. Avoidance is said to take place when specific target language structures are under-represented in the learner?s production in comparison to native-speakers production.

2. Behaviorist learning theory of language acquisition emphasize the importance of the innate

capacity of the language learner at the expense of environmental factors. 3. When language users are able to attend closely to the form of the language they produce, they call upon their ?careful style?. A ?careful style ? is evident in formal language tasks such as reading pairs of words, or doing a grammar test. 4. Aptitude refers to the specific ability a learner has for learning a second language. This is hypothesized to be separate from the general ability to master academic skills, which is referred to as ?intelligence?.

5. Backsliding involves the use of a rule belonging to some late stage of development. It occurs when learners are under some pressure, as, for instance, when they have to express difficult subject matter or are feeling anxious.

6. Communication strategies are employed when learners are faced with the task of

communicating meanings for which they lack the requisite linguistic knowledge.

7. Access to comprehensible input may be an unnecessary condition for acquisition to take place.

8. This states that there is a period when language acquisition can take place with effort, but that after a certain age the brain is no longer able to process language input in this way.

9. Error analysis involves collecting samples of learner language, identifying the errors in the sample, describing these errors, classifying them according to their hypothesized causes, and evaluating their seriousness.

10. When native speakers address learners, they adjust their normal speech in order to make the speech more formal. Ⅱ. Define the following terms(每小题3分,共30分) 1. learner language 2. errors

3. the critical period hypothesis 4. complete access 5. language aptitude

6. poverty of the stimulus 7. pidginization

8. processing constraints 9. communication strategies 10.careful style Ⅲ Fill in the blanks with the appropriate words(每空2分,共30分)

1. The theory that also draws on the idea of stylistic variation but which is more obviously

social is _______?s accommodation theory.

2. According to Krashen, L2 acquisition depends on ________.

3. Explicit knowledge may help learners to move from intake to acquisition by helping them to ________ between what they have observed in the input and the current state of their ________ as manifested in their own output.

4. The idea of _________. This credits the learner with the ability to perform a number of mental tasks at the same time, for example, the ability to attend to both form and meaning while processing input.

5. Various kinds of motivation have been identified: _________, __________, __________, and ________.

6. The Grammar Translation Method and the __________ both attempts to teach learners grammar, differing only in how this is to be accomplished.

7. Backsliding is the production of errors representing a(n) ________stage of development. 8. Foreigner talk is the _________that native speakers use when addressing non-native speakers.

9. According to Stephen Krashen?s input hypothesis, L2 acquisition takes place when a learner understands input that contains ________forms that are at ?i+1?(i.e. are a little more advanced than the current state of the learner?s interlanguage).

10. The critical period hypothesis is a period during which language acquisition is easy and complete and ________which it is difficult and typically incomplete. 11. Language aptitude is the ability that is believed to be in part related to ________ intelligence but also to be in part distinct.
