  9. B.F. Skinner • Language is acquired step by step through association and reinforcement • Parents are expert teachers • Frequent repetition • If children are well taught they become well spoken. • Extensive language exposure • Australian experiment • Need to be talked with Infants need to be taught

  10. Noam Chomsky • Language learning is innate • Language is too complicated to be taught step by step • Universal grammar • The mind can learn any language during childhood • When the caregiver speaks with the child it helps nourish language development, it doesn’t trigger it. Infants teach themselves

  11. Try to communicate because of social aspects. • Like the attention. • The emotional message helps children learn not words • Learn better in person than on video. Social Impulses foster infant language learning

  12. Children under 6 keep languages distinct but in the same activation site in the brain. • Adults have different activation sites • Pronunciation errors don’t effect children • Children under 6 learn only by listening • Children older than 6 learn by listening and can also be assisted by instruction. • Middle childhood is the best time to learn a second language. • After puberty it becomes more difficult to learn a language. • Languages are best learned when connected with the culture. • In order to learn a second language you need to 1) practice speaking the language. 2) Have an internal motivation and 3) have a reason why the language is needed. Bilingualism
