Brown (2007), Orillos (1998), Johnson (2004), Tahriri
(2013), and Heidar (2012) outlined several theories on the nature
of a language which indirectly imply how a language (L1 & L2) is
acquired. The Behaviorist / Empiricist Theory by Leonard
Bloomfield, B. F. Skinner, and Charles Fries postulates that
language is acquired behavior through conditioning and
reinforcement. Based on this theory, children learn language from
the conditioning and reinforcement of their environment which
involve family members, peers, teachers, and the society as a
whole. Further, it believes that language learning is the result
of imitation, practice, feedback on success, and habit formation
(Brown, 2000). The Rationalist/Cognitivist/Mentalistic Theory of
Noam Chomsky, on the other hand, believes that language is mainly
cognitive, mental process, and rule-governed (universal grammar)

Chomsky’s theory is strengthened by Eric Lenneberg (in Brown,
2000; Orillos, 1998) with his Nativist Theory claiming that
language is innate or inherent to a man that he can learn it in
his own without environmental intervention. Further, this theory
believes that man possesses a Language Acquisition Device (LAD)
that enables him to acquire a language in a natural way (Brown,
2000; Orillos, 1998). Another claim of this theory is that
language development follows biological and chronological program
which means that various grammatical features are acquired
according to natural order or program (Orillos, 1998). The
Sociolinguistic Theory of Dell Hymes and Michael A. K. Halliday
focuses on the functionality and applicability of a language in
various settings (Ma, 2009; Orillos, 1998). This is also
otherwise known as the Functional Theory / Interactionist Model
in other literatures claiming that language development goes
along with the dynamic interaction of cognitive development and
the environment (Brown, 2007; Orillos, 1998; Young, 1999;
Blomaert (2014); Bargaric, 2007; Wardhaugh, 2006). This means
that interaction or communication with adults within the child’s
cognitive capacities provide rich inputs that can contribute to
language development. In this theory, there is a sort of fusion
between behaviorist and cognitivist views on language
acquisition.

Fromkin, Rodman, and Hyams (2010) contend that first
language acquisition among children is fast but not
instantaneous. Normally, the pattern is that children / babies
start with babbling, then acquiring first words, and then putting
words together in sentences until they reach the virtual adult
competence which takes around three to five years. They also
noted that observations of children acquiring different languages
reveal that the stages are similar, possibly universal.

Assessment
Explanation of Method
In order to estimate the subjects’ ability relating to language
acquisition and learning development, the Researcher formulated a
pre assessment test which is made up of 2 parts. The 1st part
consists of a short story with two hundred and fifty-five (255)
words to test their reading abilities such as lexical control,
skimming for gist, scanning for details, and making inferences
and a 10-item spelling activity to
