CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The Interactionist approach claims that if our language ability develops out of a desire to communicate, then language is dependent upon whom we want to communicate with. This means the environment you grow up in will heavily affect how well and how quickly you learn to talk.

Detailed explanation-2: -Children naturally acquire a language in social contexts where they interact with their caregivers. Indeed, research shows that social interaction facilitates lexical and phonological development at the early stages of child language acquisition.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget placed acquisition of language within the context of a child’s mental or cognitive development. He argued that a child has to understand a concept before s/he can acquire the particular language form which expresses that concept.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are four main theories: linguistic learning, behaviorist, cognitive learning, and interactionist.
