Answers 100% Pass
6 Stages of Second Language Acquisition - answer✔-Pre-production : Also called "the silent period,"
when the student hears the new language but does not speak it. This period often lasts six weeks or
longer, depending on the individual.
-Early production: Begins to speak using short words and sentences, but emphasis is still on listening and
absorbing the new language. There will be many errors.
-Emergent Speech: Speaking becomes more frequent, words and sentences are longer, but the they still
rely heavily on context clues and familiar topics. Vocabulary continues to increase and errors begin to
decrease, especially in common or repeated interactions.
-Beginning Fluency: Fairly fluent in social situations with minimal errors. New contexts and academic
language are challenging and the individual will struggle to express themselves due to gaps in vocabulary
and appropriate phrases.
-Intermediate Fluency: Communicating in the second language is fluent, especially in social language
situations. They are able to speak almost fluently in new situations or in academic areas, but there are
gaps in vocabulary knowledge and some unknown expressions. There are very few errors, and the
individual is able to demonstrate higher order thinking skills in the second language.
-Advanced Fluency: Communicates fluently in all contexts and can maneuver successfully in new
contexts and when exposed to new academic information. They might still have an accent and misuse
idioms, but they are comfortable in the L2.
