Abstract | We investigate a unique attempt at working out a unified theory of second language acquisition (SLA), Carroll's "Autonomous Induction Theory". This theory integrates SLA traditions that often ignore each other and adds a learning theory where novel information gets created to resolve learning problems. Cognitive universals, modularity theory, universal grammar, inductive learning, initiation of learning, working and long-term memory, top-down and bottom-up processing, input, errors, correction and feedback, language transfer, fossilization, restructuring of interlanguage are amongst the concepts reviewed. This project thus spans multiple domains but leaves many unresolved issues. However, since these issues appear in one framework, we have found that altogether, it provides excellent discussion material for advanced students. Finally, we suggest some ways in which the burden of the denseness of the material might be lightened. (Author). |
