Detailed explanation-1: -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).
Detailed explanation-2: -The term “interlanguage”(IL) was first coined by Selinker, L. [1] which refers to the language system created by the foreign language learner based on the linguistic input accessible to him.
Detailed explanation-3: -Chomsky concluded that children must have an inborn faculty for language acquisition. According to this theory, the process is biologically determined-the human species has evolved a brain whose neural circuits contain linguistic information at birth.
Detailed explanation-4: -Second language learners develop an internal linguistic system called “interlanguage.” This term was firstly coined by Larry Selinker and refers to a unique system which is neither the first language (L1) nor the second language (L2), but something in between.
