Language is a system that consists of the development, acquisition, maintenance and use of complex
systems of communication, particularly the human ability to do so; and a language is any specific
example of such a system. It is not biological to which a learner learns language when exposed in an
environment from their primary caregivers. Moreover, primary caregivers are often to be the mother of
the child.The term “ motherese” implies the language adaptation of adult do to provide the child to
interact and learn.
First Language
The mother tongue or native tongue or the preffered language in a multilingual context.
Second Language
A non-native language that has a significant role within the context. Here in the
Philippines people use English as their second language. In all due process, it is under
the 1987 Philippine Constitution wherein the official language of the country is Filipino
and English.
Foreign Language
A non-native language that has no official status in the country.
Heritage Language
Language used for identity rather than dominant language.
Dialect
A variety of languag in which the use of grammar and vocabulary identifies the regional
or social background of the user.
BEHAVIORIST PERSPECTIVE
The perspective that gave attention towards learning language aquisition.
Believe that language like any other skills, and values can be taught to children in terms
of repitition, imitation, and habituation.
They view language as a consistent formal pattern and through imitation and constant
practice language is developed just like in a habit with this it is called habituation.
Edward Thorndike
Gave us the original S-R framework of behavioral psychology
Explained that learning is the result of S-R Relationship.
Learning is present when there in strong bond between Stimuli and Response.

goal of this stage.
Imitation Theory
Imitating the language but not accurately.
Behaviorist fail to explain the idea : the child fails to imitate language accurately despite
that the language was accurately driven by the adult.
CONSTRUCTIVIST PERSPECTIVE
Sheds valuable explanation of the relationship between thought (cognition) and
language acquisition.
As children become sophisticated in their mental process, the more susceptible they are
acquiring and manipulating language to represent ideas.
Jean Piaget
Argues that children are active learners who construct meaning from their environment.
Explains the interconnectedness of knowledge acquisition through qualitative changes
of their mental process as they develope.
FORMAL
OPERATIONAL
12 years and older Knowledge is acquired
(hypothetical and deductive symbolically, and logically
reasoning) and hypothetically.
SOCIOCULTURAL CONSTRUCTIVISM
Lev Vygotsky
Centered the role of culture and social interaction of children with other children
and adults in the environment.
Argued childrens speech is a major tool in their development of thinking.
Proposed the social-cultural model of human especially cognitive.
Emphasized the importance of private speech.
Eric Lennin
Argued that the development of language in children can best be understood in the
context of developmental biology that critical period in human maturation existed
on Language Acquisition.
Concerened in the development of language in children not its origin in the species.
Believed that development in language is the result of brain maturation.
CHARACTERISTICS OF LANGUAGE
INNATENESS
Noam Chomsky
Worlds famouslinguist up to date.
Argued that children are endowed with the capacity to acquire a language as they
are continiously exposed to adult speech.
He call it innateness- the capacity of the brain to arrive at general principles based
from adult speech.
This theory explains clearly why children acquire language in such speed but on
one hand, it cannot account for other input that children are exposed to.
INTERACTIONIST PERSPECTIVE
Albert Bandura
He argued that human learning is is not shaped by its consequences but is more
efficiently learned directly from a model.
No-trial modelling theory- students does not need to go through a shaping process
but can reproduce the correct response immediately.
Social learning theory
Children learn from each other and from others through observation, imitation and
modelling.
This theory explains that children imitate the words, and languge patterns they here
from their caregivers and environment.
The bridge towards the gap of behaviorist and constructivist perspective to learning
and acquisition.
INTERACTIONIST argue that children are social beings that they need more than
adults to observe, imitate and model. (Obeservational learning)
