SLA Theory
Foundational Theories
Nativism :check:
It proposes that there is a theoretical language acquisition device (LAD) somewhere in our brains that is responsible for learning a language the same way the hypothalamus is responsible for maintaining your body temperature. If language was partly biological, it could explain why humans seem to have far more complicated communication patterns than any other species .
: : ) 
Emergentism : :star:
described as hybrids of the social interactionist and the nativist perspectives (Hollich, Hirsh-Pasek, & Golinkoff, 2000). In the emergentist framework, language may be viewed as a product of the interaction of the outside language environment and the inside learning capabilities of the child.

Brain Research
Speech-Language 'gated' by the brain
Recent findings indicate that the specialized functions of specific regions of the brain are not fixed at birth but are shaped by experience and learning.

While the general language network may be similar across languages and even between languages used within a bilingual individual [33, 50-55], there appear to be more variations in the way these subnetworks for the component processes are engaged and assembled. This may partially result from certain features of bilingualism that differentially impact the way that two or more languages are managed. In particular, the age at which one learns a second language affects whether these subnetworks overlap or utilize separate brain areas, implying that language learning is neurophysiologically instantiated in a different manner across development (e.g., [56]).
