Second Language Acquisition Research Significance For Foreign Language Teaching: Teachers’ Perspectives



Authors : Boudehane Nora .

Abstract

When second language acquisition research began to emerge in the last few decades as an independent discipline, one of the hopes was that it could be beneficial to language education. The relevant language acquisition theories are of major significance for university English teaching whereby teachers are expected to base their instruction on second language acquisition theories to improve the current teaching strategies and methods and to upgrade the teaching quality. Hence, through an interview, the present paper attempts to investigate the teachers’ experiences and standpoints on the relevance of research findings of second language acquisition regarding language teaching methods and practices. The results of the interview have uncovered that although teachers make use of second language acquisition research findings to some extent in their teaching practices with some issues raised, they believe that they are highly advantageous to language pedagogy. They have emphasized second language acquisition research significance in answering questions they had about teaching and in meeting the challenges they encounter in the classroom. Thus, second language acquisition pedagogical approaches and techniques should be given the required attention by addressing the factors specific to second/foreign language acquisition.
