Behavorisim is the theory that through stimilus or reinforcement something can or will be learned.

# data[].attributes.body
Behaviorism in language acquisition is the repetitive behavior, and response.

# data[].attributes.body
"For language acquisition, behaviorists hypothesized that children learned their first language through stimulus, response, and reinforcement as well, postulating imitation and association as essential processes." (p.g. 60)

Behaviorist theory is mostly popular and used when teaching a 2nd langauge.

Innatist Theory goes against the behaviroist theory or behaviroism as a wole.

# data[].attributes.body
The Innastits Theory is the toery that infants already come "pre-wired" for linguist purposes.

# data[].attributes.body
These infants as they begin to speak test out their theories in order to construct their grammar.

# data[].attributes.body
"Gradually, they will revise their hypothesis to accommodate exceptions to the plural rule. Thus, children create sentences by using rules rather than by merely repeating messages they have heard, as assumed by behaviorists." (p.g. 61)

"Interactionists study the language mothers and other caregivers use when caring for infants and young children, with special attention to modifications they make during these social interactions to assist children in communication." (p.g. 62)

# data[].attributes.body
Interactionist theory as a whole is interacting with the child by "expanding" their conversation and filling in any gaps that the child may have missed.

# data[].attributes.body
This theory does go against the innatist theory, since in this case the child is not "pre-wired" with all grammar. Instead their language adapts by nurture of the mother or care giver of the child who communicates with them.

"One behaviorist language teaching method popularized in the 1960s is the audiolingual method, in which tape-recorded dialogues are presented for students to memorize, followed by pattern drills for practicing verb forms and sentence structures." (p.g. 65)

Behaviorists perspective on second language is used thorough repetition, imitation, and constant reinforcement.

# data[].attributes.body
However, while this might seem effective if any mistakes were made through this process such as incorrect working or grammatical errors then it would be twice as hard for the learner to unlearn.

"Based on these results, the authors proposed that English language learners creatively construct the rules of the second language in a manner similar to that observed in first language acquisition." (p.g. 65)

While Innatist theory for the second is 100% similar to the theory for a first language many similarities have been found.

# data[].attributes.body
No matter if a child was leaning English as their first or second language many of the errors that were made, were found to be similar to each other.

There is a difference between acquiring and learning a new language. Acquiring uses communication and interact as the more natural approach. Versus Learning would require to actually learn the language in a studying or classroom type of form.

This hypothesis claims that a "monitor" develops internally when studying a language formally. This monitor makes sure that all grammatical rules are followed when writing and speaking the language.

# data[].attributes.body
When learning a language the rules are learned in an order that is predictable.

# data[].attributes.body
This hypothesis is when a language is acquired when someone understands what they hear or read. They use context clues in order to understand.

When learning a second language is the learner is in a low stress comfortable environment they are more likely to pick up on the language quicker and more efficiently. The "affective filter" would have to be low from stress, anxiety, and instead filled with self esteem, motivation and confidence.
