    Cognitive Theory & Social Interaction

    Uploaded by

    Torres Ken Robin Delda
    Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development states that children actively construct their understanding of the world through four stages of cognitive development: sensory motor, pre-operational, concrete operational, and formal operational. Piaget believed that social interaction plays an important role in language acquisition, and that children develop language abilities by interacting with others in their environment. Cognitive and social learning theories view language acquisition as involving both innate cognitive abilities and environmental/social factors.

    COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT THEORY

    • JEAN PIAGET’S THEORY STATES THE CHILDREN ACTIVELY


    CONSTRUCT THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF THE WORLD AND GO
    THROUGH STAGES OF COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT.

    • PIAGET DEVELOPED THE COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT BECAUSE


    HE BELIEVED THAT THE CHILDREN PASS THE FOUR
    STAGES OF COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT.
    4 STAGES OF COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT
    1. SENSORY MOTOR STAGE (BIRTH TO 2 YEARS OLD)--- IN THIS STAGE AN INFANT TRIES TO CONSTRUCT
    THE MEANING OF SOMETHING THAT HE OR SHE IS SEEING AND HEARING. THIS STAGE EMPHASIZES IN THE
    INFANT’S MOTORIC ACTION.

    2. PRE-OPERATIONAL STAGE (2 TO 7 YEARS OLD)---- IN THIS STAGE, THE CHILDREN TRY TO REPRESENT
    THE WORLD THROUGH WORD, IMAGES, AND DRAWING.

    3. CONCRETE OPERATIONAL STAGE (7 TO 11 YEARS OLD)---- IN THIS STAGE, THE CHILDREN CAN USE
    THE INTUITIVE THOUGHT. IT MEANS THAT THEY TRY TO LEARN FROM CONCRETE TO ABSTRACT THING.

    4. FORMAL OPERATIONAL STAGE (11 TO ADULTHOOD)---- IN THIS STAGE, THE INDIVIDUALS MOVE
    BEYOND CONCRETE EXPERIENCES AND THINK IN ABSTRACT AND MORE LOGICAL TERMS.
    IN LANGUAGE ACQUISITION
    • Other accounts of l2 acquisition adopts a broadly ‘cognitivist’ stance in the sense
    that they see language acquisition as a mental process involving the use of
    strategies that explain how the l2 language knowledge system is developed and
    used in communication.

    • A cognitive theory of language acquisition sees linguistic knowledge as no


    different in kind from other types of knowledge, and views the strategies
    responsible for its development as general in nature, related to and involved in
    other kinds of learning.
    COGNITIVE THEORY
    • A cognitive theory of learning sees second language acquisition as a conscious and reasoned
    thinking process, involving the deliberate use of learning strategies. Learning strategies are
    special ways of processing information that enhance comprehension, learning or retention
    of information.

    • This explanation of language learning contrasts strongly with the behaviourist account of
    language learning, which sees language learning as an unconscious, automatic process.
    LEV VYGOTSKY & SOCIAL INTERACTION THEORY
    • According to Vygotsky, social interaction plays an
    important role in the learning process and proposed
    the zone of proximal development (ZPD) where
    learners construct the new language through socially
    mediated interaction. Vygotsky's social-development
    theory was adopted and made prominent in the
    Western world though by Jerome Bruner who laid the
    foundations of a model of language development in
    the context of adult-child interaction.
    IN LANGUAGE ACQUISITION…
    •The interaction theory of language development is a compromise
    between the nativist theory and the behaviorist theory of
    language development. The interaction theory recognizes that
    both environmental and biological factors are important in
    language development.
    IN LANGUAGE ACQUISITION…
    •The interactionist theory posits that children can only learn language
    from someone who wants to communicate with them.
    •Social interactionists argue that the way a baby learns a language is
    both biological and social.
    •Interactionists believe that children are born with brains that
    predispose them to the ability to pick up languages as well as with a
    desire to communicate.
    SOCIAL LEARNING THEORY
    •The theory states that language is acquired from
    an interaction of a human’s innate biological
    capabilities to acquire language with exposure to
    language in the environment in which the child is
    developing.
