    What is language
    acquisition?

    Language acquisition is the process by


    which humans acquire the capacity to
    perceive and comprehend language (in
    other words, gain the ability to be aware
    of language and to understand it), as well
    as to produce and use words and
    sentences to communicate.
    Behaviorist Theory

    The theory of behaviorism highlights aspects of language


    behavior that can be observed directly and the relationship
    between stimulus and response. Effective language behavior
    is making appropriate reactions to stimuli. This reaction will
    become a habit if the reaction is justified. At this time the
    child learns his first language.
    Example of Behaviorist Theory

    For example, a child says "bilangkali" for "barangkali". Of


    course the child will be criticized by his mother or anyone
    who hears the word. If one day the child pronounces
    perhaps correctly, he will not get criticism because his
    pronunciation is correct.
    Nativism Theory

    Noam Chomsky put forward his theory that language


    acquisition in a person or child is innate, because he is
    provided with a language acquisition tool which is then
    known as the Language Acquisition Device (LAD), all children
    will acquire language in the same portion, this does not exist
    relationship with other cognitive factors such as IQ.
    Example of Nativism Theory

    Gene factors from both parents that encourage a talent that


    emerges from the child. An example is if the child's parents
    are smart, then the child will have a smart character as well.
    Cognitivism Theory

    This theory breaks the assumption that language ability is an


    ability from birth, but can be learned and continues to
    develop between cognitive levels and the language
    environment.
    Development stages in children
    Interactionism Theory

    This theory breaks the assumption that language ability is an


    ability from birth, but can be learned and continues to
    develop between cognitive levels and the language
    environment.
