theoretical framework
Krashen’s Theory of Second Language Acquisition
1 Acquisition-learning An inductive approach in a student-centered setting leads to “acquisition”. It requires meaningful interaction in the target language, in which speakers are concentrated in natural communication, rather than grammatical rules. It adresses the subconscious process that children also undergo when they acquire their first language. ChinABC introduces Pinyin in practical and cultural words, instead of rules of Pinyin.
2 Creating confidence Lack of self-confidence is often related to the over-use of learned grammar which stands in the way of natural communication. By providing cultural context, ChinABC exites the imagination and dialogue of both students and teachers and create students’ confidence in communication.
3 Comprehensible input The images convey direct visual messages and are easily understood by students. ChinABC provides abundant images to establish comprehensible input for students, which facilitates them to learn words.
4 Positive affect Students need comprehensible input when acquiring a (second) language, but can be limited by low motivation, self-esteem or other mental blockades. ChinABC aims to create more ease and joy of acquisition.
5 Natural order ChinABC stimulates each student’s individual natural order of language acquisition, rather than programming grammatical sequences.
