Which one of the two developed first: written language or spoken language?

Language is a human system of communication that uses arbitrary signals, such as voice sounds, gestures, and/or written symbols.

A dialect is a regional or social variety of a language distinguished by pronunciation, grammar, or vocabulary.

Linguistics is the study of human language.

What is great tool of communication?

Which of the following is not regarded as a theory of language development?

According to behavioristic theory of language development:

Which of the following is not the pre-speech form?

The best way to encourage a child's speech and language development is to:

Learning means change in behavior or behavior potential that occurs as a result of experience.

There are phonological and grammatical systems in all languages. There are several sub systems with in a language. The phonology of a language forms its own system as the various sounds function in a systematic way.

Learning is not directly observable. The only way to study learning is through some observable behavior. Actually, we cannot observe learning; we see only what precedes performance, the performance itself, and the consequences of performance.

Every creature who lives learns. Man learns most. The human nervous system is very complex so are human reactions and so are human acquisition. Positive learning is vital for children’s growth and development.

Learning does not help the individual to adjust himself adequately to new situations. Most children's learning consists of modifying, adapting, and developing their original nature. In later life, the individuals acquire new forms of behavior.

Learning is a process of personal choice-making.

It is a complex process of discovery, collaboration, and inquiry facilitated by language.

It is composed of interrelated and rule-governed symbol systems; it is also a social and uniquely human means of representing, exploring, and communicating meaning.

It is an unconscious process that does not presuppose teaching, and the child controls the pace

It is an intentional process that presupposes teaching, and traditionally the teacher controls the pace.

Following this principle helps children learn abstract words and encourages children to recognize how words link to categories. ​

Social context is also given a great consideration aside from frequent language input. This statement follows the principle that...

Use language-rich routines and many interactions with infants and toddlers to build their vocabulary abnormalities.

Learning is not directly observable. The only way to study learning is through some observable behavior. Actually, we cannot observe learning; we see only what precedes performance, the performance itself, and the consequences of performance.

This is a traditional term for a person’s native language, it is a language learned from birth

It is the primary method of human communication

Language is the inherent capability of the native speakers to understand and form grammatical sentences

The principal method of human communication, consisting of words used in a structured and conventional way and conveyed by speech, writing, or gesture.

Proposed the Cognitive theory of Language development.

This theory holds that children learn their mother’s tongue through their natural ability to organize the laws of language, but are only able to fully utilize this talent with the aid of other humans.

This approach to learning studied changes in behavior that are caused by a person’s direct experience of their environment, using the principles of classical and operant conditioning to explain them.

This theory uses the idea that children are born with very little cognitive abilities, meaning that they are not able to recognize and process very much information.

It gave birth to stimulus–response (S–R) theory which strives to explain L2 learning as the acquisition of a set of structures through the process of habit formation

It based on the aspect that a child develops language as he develops intellect. The It focuses on the innate aspects of the brain that allows children to formulate verbal processes.

It is the non-conscious process by which the child acquires language.

According to Krashen, the Affective Filter Hypotheses can be prompted by many different variables INCLUDING ... .

Who was the developer of the Second Language Learning Theory?

Which of these is NOT one of Krashen's Theories?

What is Monitor Hypothesis?

What is meant by i + 1?

A high affective filter can hinder the development of language acquisition, as well as have an all around the negative impact on the learner. Choose a factor that could contribute to heightened affective filter.

It is a conscious process that focuses the learners’ attention on the form of the language

According to Krashen, the Affective Filter Hypotheses can be prompted by many different variables INCLUDING ... .

According to this hypothesis, the learners improve and progress along the natural order.

This hypothesis suggests that the acquisition of grammatical structures flow a natural order which is predictable.

This hypothesis explains the relationship between acquisition and learning and defines the influence of the later to the former.

Reading of difficult texts is begun early in the course of study.

This method includes elements such as the use of relaxing music, art and the additional importance that is given to the learning environment as well as the authoritative behaviour of the teacher

This teaching method is characterized by its focus on discovery, creativity, problem solving and the use of accompanying materials.

Basic method of teaching is repetition, speech is standardised and learners turn into parrots who can reproduce many things but never create anything new or spontaneous. Learners became better and better at pattern practice but were unable to use the patterns fluently in natural speech situations.

Instruction is conducted in the target language; no translation

The key elements of this method include a rich sensory learning environment (pictures, colour, music, etc.), a positive expectation of success and the use of a varied range of methods: dramatised texts, music, active participation in songs and games, etc.

Focus is on fluency rather than proficiency. The purpose of using language is to convey messages and develop creative thinking. Grammatical correctness is less important.

The emphasis is not on text or other media, but initially on voice, action and gestures. Instruction is given in target language only

Helps retention by associating movement with words.

It is fun and easy

Learners will enjoy getting up out of their chairs and moving around.
