Implications for L2 learning and teaching
Although we have seen that knowledge of L2 goes well beyond what can be consciously learned and taught, we have also seen that (unlike L1) L2 acquisition usually requires intentional effort, and that a number of individual and social factors strongly affect ultimate outcomes. We cannot control most of these factors, but recognizing them can contribute to efficiency and effectiveness in second language development. As a starting point, our findings about SLA suggest the following general guide lines for L2 learning and teaching:
• Consider the goals that individuals and groups have for learning an additional language.
• Set priorities for learning/teaching that are compatible with those goals.
• Approach learning/teaching tasks with an appreciation of the multiple dimensions that are involved: linguistic, psychological, and social.
• Understand the potential strengths and limitations of particular learners and contexts for learning, and make use of them in adapting learning/teaching procedures.
• Be cautious in subscribing to any instructional approach which is narrowly focused or dogmatic. There is no one “best” way to learn or teach a second language.
• Recognize achievement in incremental progress. And be patient. Learning a language takes time.
