Medium description: | Felix Francke publishes 'Die praktische Spracherlernung' (Practical Language Acquisition).
Starts with a distiction between learnt, "naturliche Spracherlernung", and acquired, "Sprachbildung", knowledge (Howatt, 1984) and follows with an outline of a theory of acquisition based on associationism. Suggested that learners would form correct associations between L2 lexical items and the thing they signified if the association was done directly in the L2 and learners were not distracted by switching between L1 and L2.
