Language Transfer refers to the influence of one's native language on the learning of a second language.

Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) focuses on developing communicative competence through meaningful interactions.

In the Early Production Stage, learners begin to produce simple sentences with limited vocabulary and grammar.

Age of Acquisition, Native Language Similarity, and Motivation are all important factors influencing SLA success.

Phonological Acquisition refers to the process of developing native-like pronunciation and intonation in a second language.

Interactionism, particularly associated with Michael Long, emphasizes the importance of social interaction and input in SLA.

In the Advanced Proficiency Stage, learners can communicate effectively and accurately in a wide range of situations.

The Audio-Lingual Method emphasizes the use of drills and memorization to develop language skills.

Syntactic Acquisition refers to the process of developing native-like grammar and syntax in a second language.

Intelligence is generally considered less influential in SLA compared to age, motivation, and other factors.

Vocabulary Expansion refers to the process of developing native-like vocabulary in a second language.

Total Physical Response (TPR) emphasizes the use of physical movement and gestures to teach language.

In the Pre-Production Stage, learners can understand simple language but have limited productive skills.
