Second Language Acquisition Feature Exploration based on Affordance Theory

Abstract

Affordance theory initially reveals the interaction between biology and environment. With the development of second language acquisition, it is constantly applied to second language acquisition. In language learning, learners acquire knowledge and language according to their own needs. From the perspective of affordance theory, the paper discusses the relationship between the local environments perceived in second language acquisition to help students understand affordance, and in the process of language learning, improve teaching quality effectively. Second language acquisition refers to that learners master one or more languages except for their native language. Second language acquisition began to be studied from the seventy s of the 20th century western gradually. With the deepening of the research, second language acquisition research fuses with other disciplines gradually and is widely absorbed into system study, so as to realize the innovation of second language acquisition research and development. Researchers in second language acquisition mostly study second language acquisition learning process from the perspectives of social science and psychological science, and the main purpose is to understand how learners better master another language after learning English language, and master the characterization of language learning. I. AFFORDANCE Affordance theory is a cross discipline, which is closely related to ecological psychology, perception psychology and other disciplines. Affordance is an important concept of psychology. People extract affordance from surroundings in man's cognitive process, and the basic characteristic of affordance theory is from ecology point of view; explore the relationship between biology and environment, and in the special relationship with the environment in the process of biological evolution and development. Psychologist Thomas Ronald Reagan gave affordance three definitions: one is that affordance is a potential possibility; two is that affordance is body characteristic in the environmental system; three is that the extract of affordance information is restricted by intention. Thus we can study the characteristics of the second language acquisition from the perspective of affordance.
