CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The Language Acquisition Device, or LAD, is part of Chomsky’s acquisition hypothesis. The LAD is a system of principles that children are born with that helps them learn language, and accounts for the order in which children learn structures, and the mistakes they make as they learn.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Nativist Theory – Suggests that we’re born with a specific language-learning area in our brain. Nativists believe that children are wired to learn language, regardless of their environment. The Behaviorist Theory – Says that language develops as a result of certain behaviors, such as imitation.

Detailed explanation-3: -universal grammar (UG) (noun): a theory in linguistics usually credited to Noam Chomsky that suggests that the ability to learn grammar is built into the human brain from birth regardless of language. In the 1960s, linguists became interested in a new theory about grammar, or the laws of language.

Detailed explanation-4: -Jean Piaget’s theory of language development suggests that children use both assimilation and accommodation to learn language. Assimilation is the process of changing one’s environment to place information into an already-existing schema (or idea).
