"Natural Acquisition" and a "Masked Pedagogy."
Bourne, Jill
Applied Linguistics, v9 n1 p83-99 Mar 1988
Critically examines the notion of a "natural" acquisition of language, explores current language theories regarding second-language acquisition theories and language education, and argues that the "naturalization" of achievement as ability works to deny certain students access to the evaluation criteria on which their access to further education depends.
