Acculturation hypothesis
“ the degree of acculturation toward the ‘model’ language group seems to be the primary consideration in attempting to account for the varied levels of linguistic achievement reached by second language learners”

⑤ Topics, situations, contexts, and activities are appropriate for the learners.
⑥ Only activity book is appropriate for each level of the students. The textbook does not consider the proficiency level of each student. It covers general texts and activities. To complement this limitation, the activity book includes
The Contrastive Analysis Hypothesis
The first language system interferes with the second language system.
Structural analysis on the two language would enable teachers to predict the difficulties in acquiring second language.
It is quite common to detect where the speaker is from just by listening to his/her accent.

Classroom goals are focused on all of the components of CC and not restricted to gramma

In the case of English, even though it also has several suffixes such as -ed(past tense in regular form), -ing(progressive form), -ly(adverb), and -tion(to make a noun form), it cannot make difference of their meanings in terms of semanti
learners. Considering students’ ability, the lesson asks for a minimum amount of writing. The students read the passage and fill in the blanks thereby using focused grammatical form within context. Also, students are asked to write a short sentences using subjunctive mood in order to express their feeling on hypothetical position given.

language is taught actively through movement, the right brain “believes” the information and retains it, in the same way that skills such as swimming or riding a bicycle are remembered long term.
Asher sees TPR as directed to right-brain learning, whereas most second language teaching methods are directed to left-brain learning. Asher holds that the child language learner acquires language t

2. While they are doing the team work, there can be free-riders. It is not guaranteed that all the students equally participate in the group working.
The teacher needs to monitor the process that the students are going through. Or peer evaluation among the group members can take place in order to prevent the free-riders.
3. Since students ha
