Analyzing second language acquisition by Nunan
and English for specific purpose by Tony Evans
What is
second language acquisition?
Nunan wrote the essay called ‘second language
acquisition’ means to acquire the second or foreign language.
Second language acquisition is very faithful to
English language learning, I would like to say not learning but acquiring.
Acquiring means getting in the language.
This concept of acquiring the second language emerged
as finding the similarities and differences in the grammar structure of two
different languages.
E.g. As we look upon English here first comes object
then verb and then noun. But in our language, Guajarati, first is object then
noun and verb. So it is difficult when we learn translation method.
After this idea, it is problematic then the idea comes
of comprehensive means to understand what is said in second language in comprehensive
manner. Where we understand the message of what is said in second language.
Nunan focuses upon the Second Language Acquisition.
In this essay, he is convinced with this idea. that if
we acquire the second language so it is easy to learn it or rather we say to
acquire.
Acquiring the second language means we get it
naturally within us. And it would not be vanished if we do not practice or not
focusing.
Gujarati language or mother tongue is not taught to
us but it is acquired by us. So we know It very well. So this sequence acquiring must be applied or
while it is the matter of second language acquisition.
L1 – first
language- mother tongue
L2- Second
language-English
Nunan is in the favor of that matter if the L1 of
learner is very good, he cannot acquire L2. As the L1 is mainly functioned in
the mind of learner, then how he naturally acquires L2.he can only learn. It is
difficult to acquire L2 but it is not impossible.
Acquisition is the natural process that goes
naturally. There are no predefined courses or tasks. But it comes from the
environment of second language. If we are surrounded by the second language
speakers and its environment then it comes naturally within us.
In India, it is difficult to acquire the second
language. If the English is our first language we could acquire it.
Second language acquisition has an unique concept ,one
must get in.
ENGLISH FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSE
Introduction
English for specific purpose (ESP) has always seen
itself as material-driven and as a classroom based activity concerned with
practical outcomes. Most writing about ESP concerned with aspects of teaching,
materials,, production and text analysis rather than with the development of a
theory of ESP.
English for specific purpose means English is to be
designed as per the specific purpose. If the learner does not need to learn English in
general. They are to be taught English, which he wants to learn related to the
specific field or need.
English for specific purpose only focuses on the group
of particular who going to learn for the particular need. It does not content
vast area. The vocabulary, contexts ,grammar, materials are finalized as per
the field of specific purpose.
NEEDS ANALYSIS
In ESP, need analysis is there. It means what the
demand of learners. It should be taken in to consideration. There is not other context
which is not related to the specific purpose of learning.
Needs analysis is there in ESP which is important.
