L2 ORDER OF ACQUISITION
The order of acquisition is a concept in language acquisition that all learners of a given language will learn the grammatical features of that language in roughly the same order. (Encyclopedia Britannica, 2010)
Common L2 order of difficulty for grammatical morphemes (Dulay and Burt, 1973 cited by Cook , 1993)1 plural “-s” “Books”2 progressive “-ing” “John going”3 copula “be” “John is here”4 auxiliary “be” “John is going”5 articles “the/a” “The books”6 irregular past tense “John went”7 third person “-s” “John likes books”8 possessive “’s” “John’s book”
