VIEWS IN FIRST LANGUAGE ACQUISATION
	Behaviorism	Innatism	Connectionism	Interactionist	Cognitive d.
WAY	By imitating, practicing, getting, feedback on success and habit formation.	Through language acquisition device which exists somewhere in the brain. To activate the device the child needs access only to samples of a natural language, which serve as a trigger.	They can learn things if it is exposed to them often enough. So the way is being exposed to the language enough.	Through modified language which is suitable for the capability of the learner by developing children` cognitive understanding which determines how they use language
HOW?	They imitate and then practice what they hear around and receive positive reinforcement	Language develops in the child in just the same way that other biological functions develop	What children need to know is essentially available in the language they are exposed to.	Language develops entirely from social interaction.	To acquire language, firstly certain thinking skills must be mature in order to create a framework for early language development.
ENVIRONMENT	They encouraged by their environment and the quality and quantity of language which children hears as well as consistency of the reinforcement have an effect on learning	Environment makes the basic contribution. The quality of environment is equal to the availability of people who speak to the child. Child biological endowment will do the rest.	The language input in the environment is seen as the principal source of linguistic knowledge.	In a supportive interactive environment, the child is able to advance to a higher level of knowledge	There are many factors to consider aside from age such as motivation and learning conditions.
PRIMARY PROCESS	Imitation and practice	Accessing samples of language.	To become familiar with the linguistic context as much as possible.	To find a job as a barmen in a hotel which is full with customers of target language as I did last summer.
CRITICAL POINT	Children` imitations are not random. They do not imitate everything they hear. They imitate new words until they become a habit in his language system	Language is somehow separate from other aspects of cognitive development and may even be located in a different part of the brain. LAD, like other biological functions, works successfully only when it is stimulated at the right time called critical period	The connections which are made by learners in linguistic contexts may be strong as they have occurred together very frequently or they may be weaker as there have been fewer opportunities to experience them together.	Language was one of a number of symbol systems which are developed in childhood. Language can be used to represent knowledge that children have acquired through physical interaction with the environment.	There is a specific and limited time for language acquisition.
