Definition

  • The monitor model, described in this entry, is a theory that explains second-language acquisition through five major hypotheses. The model covers multiple aspects of language acquisition, ranging from the way people acquire a second language to how a second language develops, depending on how it is acquired and the learner's disposition to the acquisition process.
