Theoretical Perspective
The theory that I will use is Interactionism Theory. It was developed by Jerome S. Bruner and Vigotsky, and it was used to study interaction of a human’s innate biological capabilities to acquire language with exposure to language in the environment in which the child is developing.             This theory indicates that both environmental and biological factors are important in language development. All interactionists believe that language acquisition is possible because of the interaction between children and their environment, more specifically, their parents or caretakers. As applied to my topic, this theory holds that I would expect my independent variable(s) age, motivation, support at home and teaching strategies to influence or explain the dependent variable(s) second Language learning acquisition because it takes ideas from sociology and biology to explain how language is developed. According to this theory, children learn language depending on the world around them and because of that, Language acquisition occurs based on their social interaction. According to this theory, the environment a child grows up in will strongly influence how well and how quickly he/she learns to communicate with others using the second language.

Jorge Eliecer's contribution

I think  haptic communication is a very interesting and innovative theory because it's a different way of communication and it can be useful for teachers who work with children that have any disability (physical or cognitive) giving them the chance to interact with their environment based on their senses and make them feel understood by people who is around.]]> 2019-03-31 02:35:54 UTC https://padlet.com/claudia_iriarte/lu8k5190f6sj/wish/346844095
