QUESTION 1

Four Dominant Theoretical Perspectives of Home Language Acquisition
1. The Behaviourist Perspective

The key theorist associated with this perspective is B.F. Skinner. The primary
mechanism driving language development is imitation and positive reinforcement.
According to behaviourism, children learn their first language by listening to and
repeating adult speech (HED4807, 2026, p.5). When children receive positive

correctly becomes a habit. The environment plays a crucial role as children need
exposure to a language-rich environment to acquire language.
