Introduction to Tyler's Wiki Work Blog

This blog was designed to document the contributions I made to the class wiki located at: http://wikis.apa.uoit.ca/wikis/EDUC5001-SEP10/index.php/Main_Page

Contributions consist of original writing that:

*adds new information to existing entries about a learning theory (behaviorism, humanistic psychology, connectivism, etc.) or other topic

* presents information about a previously excluded learning theory, theorist, researcher, or other topic, or

* revises entries made by others (to correct errors or to update the entry.

All entries are time stamped and labeled for quick reverance.

Second Language Acquisition 


Today, I started to organize the Second Language Acquisition page by creating the following sections:

Applied Linguistics
Second Language Acquisition
Overview of Second Language Acquisition
Pre-1960's
1970's


Under the Overview of Second Language Acquisition, I created the links to the following pages:

S. Pit Corder 
Monitor Model
Stephen Krashen
Noam Chomsky
Universal Grammar
Skill Acquisition Theory
Connectionism

The links I highlighted in green were to pages that already existed on the class wiki.  The links, highlighted in blue, are new editions to the wiki.  For these new editions, I added content to S.Pit Corder today and will be adding content to the other ones at a later date.

My goal for the Second Language Acquisition is to give a summary of the major contributing theorists and theories in the field of SLA from 1960 to the present day.  I will try to do this in chronological order even though many of these developments span decades while others revisited from time to time due to the cylindrical nature of this field.
