Socio/Culturist Theory
Learning is social
John Dewey - experiential education
Constructivism: learning is constant, children enter the room with knowledge already learned that will help them to learn new knowledge
Bilingualism and Translanguaging: "“The languages in an individual’s linguistic repertoire are not separate and compartmentalized” (p. 42). They will draw on what they already know, so teachers should use their prior knowledge to help them learn English.
Natural Order - students will learn the concepts of English in a "natural order" that makes sense to them. It is better to not drill them on grammar concepts if they are not ready for them yet. Understand where they are at in the language acquisition and plan accordingly. That is why teachers will find students struggling with syntax sometimes.
:
Lev Vygotsky - Sociocultural Theory
As teachers, we can use students' prior knowledge in their first language to help them learn English
Students' Lexicon will be different depending on their background and depending on their first language.
Children go through a continuous process of learning through social interaction
Bilingualism and Translanguaging
Language Acquisition Theory
Noam Chomsky
Children are born wired to learn language
Phonology and Morphology comes naturally as babies. If we learn a language after about age 5, we will sometimes develop an accent.
Inatist Theory
Behaviorist Language Acquisition Theory
B. F. Skinner
Language is reinforced through natural methods during infancy. Parents will praise children and respond when they make the correct sound.
Teachers can use similar processes when teaching a language by positively reinforcing their efforts.
