Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2007 im Fachbereich Sprachwissenschaft / Sprachforschung (fachübergreifend), observe: 1,3, Ruhr-Universität Bochum, 24 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, summary: Vergleicht guy Fremdsprachenlerner miteinander, so wird guy bald feststellen, dass einige schnellere Fortschritte machen als andere. Wiederum wird guy feststellen, dass einige eine sehr hohe Kompetenz erreichen während andere auf einem bestimmten Niveau „stecken zu bleiben“ scheinen. Doch wie kann guy diese Unterschiede erklären? Motivation wird da oft genannt und Anstrengung, die ein Lerner investiert. Intelligenz könnte auch ein Faktor sein und sicher haben einige Lerner auch so etwas wie eine „besondere Begabung“ für Fremdsprachen. Das folgende Modell soll vereinfacht die verschiedenen Faktoren zeigen, die auf den Lernerfolg Einfluss nehmen und sich auch gegenseitig beeinflussen können (vgl. Sawyer/Ranta 2001, S.320; Sparks/Ganschow 2001, S.92-96). Diese Faktoren lassen sich verschiedenen Bereichen zuordnen. So gehören Motivation, Anstrengung, Einstellungen und Lernstrategien zu den konativen Faktoren, Persönlichkeit zu den affektiven, Intelligenz und Lerneignung zu den kognitiven Faktoren und regulate ist schließlich ein biologischer Faktor.
Es gibt additionally eine Reihe an Variablen, von denen das Lernergebnis abhängig ist. Diese Faktoren werden auch Individuelle Unterschiede (individual modifications, IDs ) genannt. Die Sprachlerneignung (engl. international Language studying flair) ist jedoch „the better of the on hand predictors of language studying luck“ (Sparks/Ganschow 2001, S.96). Glaubt guy dieser Annahme, die durch viele verschiedene Studien unterstützt wird, verwundert es, dass Faktoren wie Motivation und Persönlichkeit scheinbar sehr viel Aufmerksamkeit in der einschlägigen Literatur bekommen haben, die Lerneignung jedoch oft unberücksichtigt bleibt. So kön-nen Persönlichkeitstests z.B. nicht mehr als 15 % der Varianz in akademischer Leistung erklären (Dörnyei 2005, S.21), Lerneignungstests jedoch bis zu 50 percent. Dass das Konzept der Lerneignung besonders im deutschsprachigen Raum so wenig Beach-tung findet (ich habe zu dem Thema keinen textual content in deutscher Sprache gefunden), hängt sicher auch damit zusammen, dass guy glaubt, Lerneignung sei in kommunikativen Unterrichtskontexten inappropriate (s. z.B. Düwell 2003, vgl. auch 2.2., 5.). In den letzten 10 Jahren wurde das Konzept jedoch neu erprobt und weiterentwickelt. Die vorliegende Arbeit versucht, den aktuellen Stand der Forschung zusammenzufassen und einen Ausblick zu geben.
