Linguistic Theories and Models

This document discusses several linguistic theories and models of language acquisition: - Behaviorism (Skinner) which believes language is learned through imitation, drills, and practice with reinforcement. - Nativism/Innatism (Chomsky) which believes humans are born with an innate Language Acquisition Device containing universal grammar rules. - Interactionism (Vygotsky) which sees language acquisition as both biological and social, influenced by interactions with others. - The Monitor Model (Krashen) which expounds on the components of language acquisition. - Communicative Competence (Hymes) which emphasizes the need for both grammatical knowledge and its appropriate social use.

NATIVISM/INNATISM
(NOAM CHOMSKY)
Chomsky believed that humans must be born with
Language Acquisition Device (LAD) in their brain that is
why children can acquire language quickly.
-LAD contains the universal rules “universal grammar” or
mental grammar which allows us to feel unconsciously
whether or not our utterance or sentence is well formed.
INTERACTIONISM
(LEV VYGOTSKY- SOCIAL
INTERACTION THEORY)
-Language acquisition is both biological and social
components
-Children’s language development is a by-product of
children’s social interactions with the people around
them.
MONITOR MODEL
(STEPHEN KRASHEN)
-Krashen
argued that the
components
and
hypotheses

language
acquisition
COMMUNICATIVE
COMPETENCE
(DELL HYMES 1972)
-it was expounded by
Canale and Swain.
-Hymes emphasized
that children need
not only grammatical
knowledge, but also
use that knowledge
appropriately.
ACTIVITY:
Design a learning plan integrating linguistic theories and models. Use the format
below:
I. Learning Objectives
II. Learning Content
III. Learning Experiences
IV. Assessment of Learning
