Sure, let's break down each question:
1.1. Discuss the critical period hypothesis and indicate whether it has any relevance to
language acquisition and language learning. Substantiate your answer.
ned period
The critical period hypothesis posits that there is a biologically dete langua during which
occur in order for native-like proficiency to be achieved. This theory su
specific window of time in early childhood during which the brain is most r
input, and if language acquisition doesn't occur within this timeframe, it b
more difficult to attain native-like fluency.
Relevance to language acquisition and learning:
• Support: Research has shown that individuals who are exposed to language during the
critical period tend to achieve higher levels of proficiency and native-like pronunciation
compared to those who begin learning a language later in life.
• Substantiation: For example, studies of immigrant populations often find that children
who arrive in a new country before puberty generally achieve better proficiency in the
new language compared to adults who immigrate later.
