Research - Second Language Acquisition



In order to personalize the issues surrounding second language acquisition, assume that you lived with your grandparents during your formative years. You grew up speaking a little known dialect when you interacted with them. Your favorite childhood stories, lullabies, and sayings are not in English.

Your grandparents are no longer around and you do not hear anyone speaking this language. You do not remember enough of it to actively share the language, songs and stories with your children.

How does a first language affect you and how could your language be preserved? Should it be preserved?

Does it provide emotional support? Change who you are or the way you think?

Assignment: Write a brief essay response to the following:

There is recent research about saving indigenous languages. See if you can find out something about the number of languages we are losing, efforts to record and save them and feelings about what is being lost as languages disappear.
