Chomsky Nativism
Belives in a language acquisition device, that means we are naturally programmed to learn language
Universal grammar
Children learn language at similar rates globally therefore cannot be down to imitation
Virtuous error
Children make grammatical errors that they wouldn’t hear in adult language when trying to apply grammatical rules they know.
Bruner - Social interactionism
LASS- emphasises children’s social situation they partake in and that caregivers should provide meaningful input for children’s language to develop
Vygotsky
He stresses the importance of doing for a child. That caregivers should act more knowledgeable than the child and support them. This will help them move through the zones of proximal development; as a result of the adults scaffolding.
