Abstract
Yeo, Kyunghee. “The Application of Skill Acquisition Theory to second language learning” Studies on English Language & Literature. 32.3(2006): 261-276. There have been some attempts to explain second language learning from the perspective of skill acquisition theory, which sees language as one of the complex skills we can master. This paper follows the rule-based approach for explaining skill acquisition theory. Automatization is considered to be the end point of skill acquisition and rule-based approach characterizes the features of skill acquisition such as power law of practice and directional asymmetry of skill acquisition. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the applicability of the directional asymmetry of skill acquisition, that is, the specificity of production rules, to Korean students’ learning the passive form of English. The results of the experiment conducted in this study show that the students in the comprehension practice group performed better on the comprehension test than the students in the production practice group. In the case of the production test, the students in the production practice group outperformed the students in the comprehension practice group. This supports the argument of skill acquisition theory: comprehension practice is better for comprehension skill, and production practice for production skills and the transfer of skills is limited.
