2. On the process of children's language acquisition.

Canadian linguist W F2Mackey said that learning to speak is considered to be the most difficult skill acquired by human beings. Although people have worked hard to learn to speak in the first few years after birth, it will take more than 65,438+05 years for our language to reach the language level of adults, and it has gone through the whole process of language development. Research shows that children's language development can be roughly divided into one-way discourse stage, two-way discourse stage, concrete sentence stage and adult sentence stage.

3. On the ways of children's language acquisition.

(1) Krashen's Input Hypothesis: It is believed that language acquisition can only happen when learners are exposed to "understandable language input", that is, language input slightly higher than their current language skills, and can concentrate on understanding meaningful success information rather than form.

(2) Swing's output hypothesis:

It is believed that learners can only contribute to language acquisition by ensuring that their language output can be understood, and whether they can provide children with opportunities to use the language is the key to truly acquire the language.
