Incorporating L1 Knowledge
Incorporating L1 Knowledge
Cummins (2007) states that student’s language development and awareness benefit from instruction focusing on the similarities and differences between languages (p. 229). In addition, Cummins argues that by invoking a student’s L1 as a “cognitive and linguistic resource” during instruction can act as a scaffold that could lead to better performance in the L2 (p. 238).

Through the exploration of research connected to SLA in the first section, a picture of the importance of the L1 in SLA has been established while the second section discussed linguistic analysis along with CA, EA, and SFL.
The research that will be discussed in this PD will include case studies that support the use of Linguistic Analysis and processes along with methods of how to use the information gained by conducting Linguistic Analysis to inform instruction.
