The behaviorist theory is based on a child's interaction with something. The behaviorist theory uses "stimulus, response and reinforcement as the basic elements of learning"(60, Pererorgy). The main idea is that if the child touches a ball then he will associate ball with a small spherical object and then start to use the word ball because he is watching his parents say the word ball. Finally, he will recieve praise for calling the object by its name and reinforcement of the word will stick with the child.

"Behaviorists assumed that the child's mind was a tabula rosa, a blank slate awaiting the scripture of experience" (61, Pererorgy).

This video talks about the underlying theory of the Behaviorist learning theory-the behavioral psychology. I like this video because it gives insights and background to this theory.

Behaviorist Theory of Second Language Acquisition

# data[].attributes.body
In stark contrast to the behaviorist theory, Chomsky believed that children came pre-wired with a universal language that then gets generated into their language and culture by a series of hypothesis testing. The idea is that children develop their language based on rules and not on imitation of their parents or peers.

"This theory is too dismissive of parents and doesn't recognize the role that they play to help build language and use appropriate forms of expression" (62)

This theory takes the nature of the Innatist theory and the nurture of the Behaviorist theory and rolls them together. The idea is that the caretaker is generally responsible for how the child adjusts language to fit meanings and understanding of words while the child already has a concrete understanding of rules and roles for words and sentence structure. The child has the ability to understanding words with multiple meaning through asking and the caretaker giving a thorough response. This also incorporates scaffolding for young children to broaden their vocabulary and sentence length for more detail.

"Interactions do not necessarily happen lead to an immediate understanding. Rudimentary understandings must be developed and refined over time, often through misunderstandings"(63).

This theory is to develop second language learners by primary method of "skills and drills." This is the idea that if a learner is given a set of tapes, as an example, then they will first hear the second language words and then repeat them out loud. Followed by writing them down and putting them in proper structure. Errors were supposed to be corrected immediately to avoid bad habits and imitation and reinforcement are key.

"Students are first taught to listen and speak and then to read and write based on the assumption that this is the natural sequence in the first language acquisition" (65).

The creative constructionists theory was a series of questions asked to EL's through colored cartoon images. The questions were asked in such a way that it would produce an answer of a certain grammatical structure. The responses were studied and it was concluded that EL's responded in the same way as a first language learner(of English) rather than mistakes that might have been made due to their native tongue. This gave way to refute the idea that mistakes made by second language learners will be predictable based on their native tongue.

"Dulay and Burt found that most English language learner errors were best described as similar to errors Made by children acquiring English as a first language"(66).

Different models have been proposed: The behaviorist perspective The innatist perspective The cognitive/developmental perspective The sociocultural perspective

1) The acquisition/learning hypothesis
Acquiring and learning are two different things. Primarily acquisition happens through conversation and learning happens through actual study of the language.
2) The monitor Hypothesis
The study of language leads to an internal monitor of grammar.
3) The natural order hypothesis
Learners acquire rules in a predictable order.
4) The input hypothesis
By using context, background knowledge, and non-linguistic cues such as gestures and pictures learners can reach this complex level.
5) The affective filter hypothesis
Low-stress environments, student motivation to learn, self-confidence, and self-esteem are keys to the filter.
