Series Method: is when learners are taught directly (no translations) and conceptually (no rules on grammar or explanations)
Direct Method is when more performance to explain their understanding. to do oral interactions, acing out, or spontaneous use of language.

Practice in this case is more on the side of a child using repetition and association to learn words and language. This becomes the bases of operate conditioning.
Frequency is more the stimuli and the use of meaning in those occurrences.

The earliest stages of language acquisition is ...Imitation! small kids can not really process understanding of information so it surfaces am imitation what they hear. they just need ti get to the point to understand what they are imitating.

Jean Piaget: claims that language is dependent on and comes from cognitive development.
Jerome Bruner: believed that  language-influenced intellectual development  like word shaping or education.
Graeme Kennedy: theory was that the ability to grasp comparisons was a factor of how test are worded. Show how rephrasing or rewording a sentence can be more understanding.
Benjamin Whorf: came up with a theory that  language imposes on a speaker in a specific "worldview" sense.

systematicity is the process of acquisition. the process is staggered from phonological (how it sounds), structural, lexical, and semantic systems of language.
Variability is the opposite, showing the people do not learn in stages but in pattern if anything.

Nativists believe that children are born with the knowledge of language. This was known as the "language genes". While many others cannot deny the environmental factors (interactions) of learning language. as well as how it affects success of a child's linguistic skills.
*Derek Bickerton had a theory that although people are "bio-programmed" for language, they process it in stages and  "bloom" when it is time.

Comprehension is listening and reading.
Production is speaking and writing. All four skills, require a sense of understanding of the language but are primarily considered performance traits because of actions are taken.

Competence is the "underlying knowledge" or nonobservable way people understand.
Performance is the observed understanding. this is the concrete version of competence, actually doing something

the challenge with Nativist theory is that it is based on the assumption that the rules of a language are due to the connections of neurons.
It also center around the idea that information can be processed at the same time.

Children would not get the traditional "play" with a language.
Using mediation theory contradicts, Skinner's theory, after the stimulus students will "mediate" the response rather reinforcing answers

More based on Lois Bloom and her work on cognition & language development. Functional emphases on how social interaction and what we can accomplish with the rules, sentences, words & morphemes of the language. Bloom's research was based on a child learning based on their environment.

It is the approach that is derived from the idea that people are born with the genetic capability to learn a language (a predispose factor). According to Chomsky, people have LAD or "little black boxes" in their brains that have the ability to diffratiate sounds, or engage in developing lingustic systems and so on.

The process of reinforcing linguistics. It is the process of response, reinforced reward,  encouraging (stimulation) for a child learning. An early model of behavioral approach is B.F. Skinner's Operant conditioning. This is when a response (or operant), is learned by reinforcement.

By year 3, children comprehend more and begin adding linguistic input. When kids are school aged their vocabulary is more extensive. They have sharper communication skill and are able to have "conversations".

# data[].attributes.body
Around a year, babies start saying their first words and about 18 months, words "multiplied" and they start having 2 to 3 sentences. By 2 years old, kids start combining  word to form sentences. Kids will start putting words to ask questions.
