问答题 1. My View of the Development of Learner"s Vocabulary in the Process of EFL Learning(Note; EFL Learning: Learning English as a Foreign Language)2. On the Linguistic Sources for the Learners of English as a Foreign Language
【正确答案】正确答案: My view of the Development of Learner"s Vocabulary in the Process of EFL Learning The process of foreign language learning is totally different from the process a person acquires his first language. A child picks up his first language amazing easily within a couple of years after he is born while it may take many years for a foreign language learner to learn this foreign language well yet never sound native. Native speakers acquire their first language in the natural language environment, which makes the principal difference. Besides the factor of environment, foreign language learners are also inevitably influence by their first language, which is another major reason that makes the difference. We all know such a saying, "Without grammar little can be conveyed; without vocabulary nothing can be conveyed". This is absolutely true in foreign language learning. Vocabulary is central to language and is of great significance to language learners. The influence of language learning environment and first language in the process of foreign language learning can be easily seen in the process of vocabulary development. It is one of the major challenges foreign language learners face during the process of learning a language. Therefore, in the process of EFL, input could be essential. According to the Input Hypothesis by Krashen, in foreign language learning, it is necessary for the learner to have access to comprehensible input, and the input(i)should be slightly beyond the learner"s present linguistic competence(i+1)in order to make acquisition take place. Learners understand such language using cues in the situation. Eventually the ability to produce language is said to emerge naturally. At the same time, English learner should also be exposed to a more relaxed language environment because, according to some scholars, interaction in foreign language learning is as important, and relaxed language learning environment can reduce the pressure of the learners and therefore increase their confidence of producing better output.
