DEVELOPMENTAL SEQUENCES (ACQUiSiTiON OrDEr L1)

First Language Acquisition TheoriesWhich is the perfect language?

Second Language Acquisition Theories

Lev Vygotsky

Childs Lg does not deal with fixed stages of development but describes “leading

activities” typical of certain age periods

around which intellectual

development is organized.

Roger Brown

The stages provide a framework within

which to understand and predict the path

that normal expressive language development usually takes, in terms

of morphology and syntax

Shaffer (2002)Two stages that help in development of L1

Pre-linguistic Linguist

0 to 12 months Children emit non-linguistic

vocalization or motor that are related to their needs Hunger Pain plearure

By the end of the stage can produce meaningful words

12 to 60 month Can understand heard and

has meaning This stage has 6 other stages

Early one word One word Two word Three word Four word Complex utterances

Child’s lg development depends on the affective factors and social-interaction
