Week three discussion 1

Theories of Language Learning

How did you learn to talk? How have your children learned language or languages?

Your explanation - your theory -    may mirror some professional explanations about this miraculous human talent. Four theories are presented in your text.

How do the basic four theories of language learning differ?   Name the theories and their main concepts.  

Explain each theory in your own words, as if explaining it to a new parent who wants to know what they can expect.

What might enhance an infants' learning to talk?  What inhibits learning to talk?

(Katherine Nelson wrote some interesting articles about this. See if you can find one!)
