This theory says that a child's first language is learned through stimulus, response, and reinforcement.

"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." Pg. 61

Here is a vide about the differences between L1 and L2 language learning/acquisition.

This theory has the idea that children learn through making hypotheses then making adjustments to them to fit the actual rule or word.

"From the innatist perspective, children construct grammar through a process of hypothesis testing."
Pg. 61

This theory states that small children learn language from their mothers or caregivers as they grow up. As they are spoken to, they are able to repeat words and actions.

"According to the interactionist position, caregivers play a critical role in adjusting language to facilitate the use of innate capacities for language acquisition."
Pg. 62

A way of teaching a second language with the behaviorist perspective in mind is to have pre-recorded dialogues for students to memorize.

This perspective states that children learn many language skills from interacting with their friends. They may some mistakes with trace amounts of their home language.

The Interactionist Perspective says that a lot of learning happens when interacting with others through conversation.

"For behaviorists, the process involved in second or foreign language learning consisted of imitation, repetition, and reinforcement of grammatical structures. "
Pg. 65

"Data analysis showed that some learner errors could be traced to influence from their first language...However, the majority of errors were similar to those made by native English-speaking youngsters as they acquire their mother's tongue."
Pg. 65

"...interactionists view communative give-and-take of natural conversations between native and non-native speakers as the crucial element of the language acquisition process."
Pg. 68

This hypothesis states that learning language should be focused on communication and not the specific form and rules of that language.

This hypothesis brings up the concept of an internal monitor system. This is when students learn the rules of a language, and when they speak or write the language they are able to correct themselves.

# data[].attributes.body
This states that language is acquired and not learned. It states that there is a predictable pattern in which people learn the language concepts.

# data[].attributes.body
This theory relies on comprehensible input. It says that people learn language through conversations and words that they hear.

This hypothesis presents the idea that the space that language learners are in effect the receptiveness of the students.
