Lecture 2 Theories and Principles of MTB-MLE

Language is a key part of culture and identity. There are several theories about how language is acquired: - Behaviorist theories view language acquisition as learning through repetition and reinforcement of utterances. - Constructivist theories see children as developing language abilities through interacting with their environment and going through cognitive stages. - Other perspectives include that children have an innate capacity for language, learn through observing and imitating others, and may have a critical period for optimal language acquisition in early childhood. Understanding language development requires considering sociological, biological, and developmental factors.
