What does the development of a second language look like, and what are the constraints on its development?
What will be an ideal response?
*Second language acquisition is typically associated with common developmental stages and ordered development.
* All second language learners go through these stages, and explicit instruction will not help learners skip these stages.
*Linguistic constraints state that second language learners are influenced by their native language and its common features.
* In the process of learning a new language, you must remember all the words, the correct tense of verbs, the proper grammar and syntax, as well as physically creating the sounds. This can overload one's working memory and can result in slower processing or forgetting.
