  1. Hi Daisy
    Thank you for the leading this discussion!

    (1) The information-processing approach is that complex behabiour builds on simple processes. In terms of second language learning, because the learning is a complex cognitive skill and involves a lot of internal representations, learners acquire the learning in either controlled process, automatic, learning via practice and restructuring.
    (2) They are the cognitive stage, the associative stage and the autonomous stage.
    (3) It is the difference between the child’s developmental level as determined by independent problem solving and the higher level of potential development as determined through problem solving under adult guidance or in collaboration with more capable peers.

    As HL, here are the 7 words unknown.

    Cognitive : Perceptual
    In parallel : at once
    Destabilize: unsterilized
