Child development is an important area of study when it comes to language

learning acquisition. It is believed that the way a child develops during the early
stages of life has a significant impact on their ability to learn and understand
language. It has been suggested that children need to have a certain amount of
exposure to language before they can easily understand it. Children who do not
speak their native language will struggle with language acquisition until they are
exposed to it more, but how much exposure does a child need? This is difficult to
answer; there are individual differences in this topic. It is also believed by many
researchers that children who grow up with two languages will have an easier time
learning a second one than children that grow up with only one language. The
video explored some of the major theories of child development and how they can
be applied to language learning acquisitions. The video also discussed the
implications these theories have on teaching and parenting practices, as well as
how they can be used to better understand and support children's language
learning. There are many theories scientists like the Social Learning Theory: This
perspective focuses on how children learn by observing and imitating the actions
of others. The social learning theory states that people learn new behaviors through
observation of the actions of others while they are able to imitate them (Bandura,
1997). Children come into contact with this theory through watching other people's
behavior models, observing television and movies, or participating in various
activities such as sports or dance classes. Jean Piaget's theory is the most widely
accepted theory of child development in the field. The major tenets of his theory
are: children are born with a predisposition to learn language, have an innate
ability to organize thoughts and create mental structures, understand the world
through actions, and develop through stages. Piaget argues that children can only
fully understand a new concept if they have enough experiences to adequately
compare it with what they already know. There are many types of students that
require different types of strategies for them to be able to learn efficiently and learn
a new language the video fully explained why and how to cope with this.
