Abstract

This article presents the individual differences in learning and acquiring a second language. Some learners are successful in learning foreign language quickly while others feel frustrated. Gradman and Hanania (1991) state that there are 22 kinds of individual differences in learning foreign languages. This paper discusses five factors of individual differences. Each factor is expected to provide contribution in learning a second language. Furthermore, individual difference variables are expected to provide guidance to teachers to teach the second language effectively and efficiently.Key words: individual, differences, language acquisition

Abstract

Discourse is a general term for examples of language use, i.e., language which has been produced as the result of an act of communication. Whereas grammar refers to rules a language uses to form grammatical units as CLAURSE, and PHRASE, and SENTENCE, discourse refers to larger units of language such as paragraphs, conversations, and interviews. Sometimes the study of both written and spoken discourse is known as DISCOURSE ANALYSIS, some researchers however use discourse and TEXT LINGUISTICS to refer to the study of written discourse.Key Words: conceptual, communicative, discourse, text linguistics.
