, QUESTION 1
1.1 Language Acquisition Theories:
a. The Behaviorists: Behaviorist theorists, such as B.F. Skinner, believe that language
acquisition is primarily a result of environmental influences and conditioning. According
to their approach:
• Language emerges through reinforcement and imitation.
• Children learn language by observing and imitating the speech of adults.
• Positive reinforcement (e.g., praise for using correct language) encourages the
development of language skills.
b. The Nativists: Nativist theorists, like Noam Chomsky, argue that language
acquisition is innate and biologically driven. In their approach:
• Children are born with a Universal Grammar that predisposes them to acquire
language.
• The process of language acquisition involves the unfolding of a biological
blueprint.
• Children have an inherent capacity for syntax and grammar, making language
acquisition a natural process.
c. The Cognitive and Social Approach: The cognitive and social approach, as
represented by theorists like Lev Vygotsky, emphasizes the interplay between cognitive
development and social interactions in language acquisition:
• Language development is influenced by social interactions with caregivers and
peers.
• Cognitive development and language acquisition are interconnected; language
aids in cognitive development.
• The "Zone of Proximal Development" (ZPD) highlights the importance of
scaffolding by more knowledgeable individuals to facilitate language learning.
1.2 Steps for Storytelling in the Classroom:
1.2.1 Planned Reading:
• Choose a suitable story that aligns with the age and interests of the children.
• Familiarize yourself with the story in advance to ensure a smooth delivery.
• Plan any interactive elements, questions, or discussions to engage students
during the reading.
1.2.2 Conducting Storytelling:
