Abstract

This paper is organized into several sections. First, a model of L2 lexical development is outlined. It starts with a review on the internal structure of the lexical entries in the mental lexicon. Then a comparison is made between the different conditions under which L2 and L1 are learned. The consequences of suchdifferences for L2 lexical development and representation are thus highlighted. Finally, the three stages of L2 vocabulary acquisition on the basis of what is represented in the lexical entry are applied.

Abstract

Children have the right to experience an educational system. Education is a fundamental right for children, whether the child is healthy or has a health problem. When the medical problem of the child impairs him to learn in a normal school, it is necessary to find alternative forms of study. The fundamental children’s right for education is offered to children with special needs by special schools.This article aims to explain the importance of inclusive education for children with special needs. This statement is based on the fact that children with special needs do not receive proper education like other normal children. This paper opens an understanding and insight into the rights of every citizen, especially children with special needs, to obtain a proper education. To achieve this goal, the author uses a literature study. The literature study in question is that the author reads and records the results of the study of this topic from various library sources such as books, journals, and other key reports. The results of the study show that many parents and the community think that the implementation of inclusive education is too urgent for children with special needs. Therefore, children with special needs often get less attention and do not get the same education rights as normal children.

Abstract

In second language acquisition, The Critical Period Hypothesis (CPH) holds that there is a critical time period for a person to learn a new language with native proficiency. This time usually begins around the age of two and ends just before puberty. According to the hypothesis, learning a new language after this critical period will be more difficult and unsuccessful. The crucial phase is the stage of a person's development when their nervous system is primed and sensitive to environmental stimuli, according to developmental psychology. If a person does not receive the appropriate environmental stimuli during this time, their capacity to learn new skills will deteriorate, compromising a variety of adult social functions. If a child does not learn a language during this vital era, they are unlikely to achieve native fluency in their first language. Because of the adaptability of the brain, a person is poised to learn new abilities throughout the critical period. Synapses, or brain connections, are extremely receptive to information. Some researchers refer to the'sensitive period' or weak critical period' as a synonym for the critical period. The sensitive phase is comparable to thecritical period in that it is characterized by a high level of neuroplasticity and rapid formation of new synapses in the brain. The key distinction is that the sensitive phase is thought to endure longer than puberty, but there are no hard bounds.
