The document discusses memory and its role in second language acquisition. It describes the different types of memory, including sensory memory, working memory, and long-term memory. Sensory memory is very brief, while working memory holds information for short periods of time and plays an important role in language learning. Information is transferred from working memory to long-term memory for permanent storage. Memorization and repetition are important for maintaining information in long-term memory.

- 4. Learning a language = learning a large amount of vocabulary Learning is, in most cases, a memory task Memory in L2 acquisition
- 5. Having a good memory improves memory acquisition and increases aptitude to languages in general. There are currently models of memory; sensory memory, working memory and long-term memory. Memory in L2 acquisition
- 6. the shortest one, i.e. lasts only for seconds. triggered by echo and visual impressions. Sensory memory
- 7. Working memory (short-term memory) responsible for holding and processing information for only a short period of time. information can come from an external source or it can be retrieved from long-term memory. plays an important role in language acquisition (vocabulary, chunks, locating information from texts, etc.)
- 8. The capacity is limited; it can process a limited amount of information at one time Most cognitive tasks depend on working memory. Working memory (short-term memory)
- 9. responsible for storing information in a more permanent way has enormous capacity and durability can be described as ‘storage units of information’ Long-Term Memory
- 10. Information from working memory is stored in long term memory but can revert back to working memory when needed Repetition is crucial in order to maintain information and prevent it from being lost. One of the ways to maintain information is memorization. Long-Term Memory
