"Escribo desde la cl nica. El psic logo dice que escribir es buena terapia. No estoy segura. Adem s, no necesito terapia. No estoy loca. No estoy enferma. De todos modos, hago lo que el psic logo dice." So begins "Elena," written by award-winning teacher and scholar Bill VanPatten. Elena is a seventeen-year-old girl who claims to hear the Virgin's voice. Concerned, her parents and priest think it's wise to put her under psychiatric care. But does Elena really belong in a clinic? Defying stereotypes and taking us into the mind of an intelligent teenager, "Elena" is a story that hits all the right notes for students of Spanish. "Elena," consisting of nine segments plus a prologue and an epilogue, is just the right length for students of intermediate and advanced Spanish.

Explicit and Implicit Learning in Second Language Acquisition

Explicit and Implicit Learning in Second Language Acquisition

Bill VanPatten; Megan Smith

Cambridge University Press
2022
pokkari
This Element explores the roles of explicit and implicit learning in second language acquisition. The authors lay out some key issues that they take to underlie the debate on the extent to which second language acquisition involves explicit learning, implicit learning, or both. They also discuss what they take to be an oversight in the field: namely, the lack of clear definitions of key constructs. Taking a generative perspective on the nature of language, while addressing alternative approaches at key points, they refocus the discussion of explicit and implicit learning by first asking what must be learned (i.e., what is this mental representation we call “language” that all functioning humans possess?) The discussion and research reviewed leads to the conclusion that second language acquisition is largely if not exclusively implicit in nature and that explicit learning plays a secondary role in how learners grapple with meaning.

The Nature of Language: A Short Guide to What's in Our Heads

The Nature of Language: A Short Guide to What's in Our Heads

Bill VanPatten

American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL)
2019
pokkari
Why a book on the nature of language? The answer is surprising in this new book by Bill VanPatten. Language just isn't what most of us think it is-and because of that, the need to know about the nature of language takes on new importance for teachers who really want to teach for acquisition, who truly want to teach for communicative ability and proficiency. It provides teachers with one of the important arguments for striking out on their own and exploring new methods and alternative curricula and assessments. Engaging and reader friendly, this book will challenge every teacher's ideas about what winds up in learners' heads. It will lead teachers to question the content of most current textbooks and the practices contained in them.

This module on the nature of language aims to provide the novice and even experienced teacher with a broad and accessible picture of language as a formal system. As such, it covers topics such as the nature of words, sounds, and syntax. The module places particular emphasis on the abstract and complex nature of language and how it does not resemble typical pedagogical rules and so-called "rules of thumb" often used with language learners.
