...HOW DO WE ACQUIRE LANGUAGE...

For many years, scientists ans neurologist and why not, some psychologist have wanted to realize how human brain works, and more specifically how do humans acquire knowledge and how we are able to produce and develop a language. If it is true that human brain is a very complicated but extraordinary thing, I really agree with Dr. Brown when he says in his book "Principles in Language Learning and Teaching" (Chapter 2) that there are many environments or issues that affect the way we acquire a language, so it is important to take into account that although we are humans all of us have the ability to speak and learn, we do it in different ways.

Also Mr. Brown talked about three important points which he contrasted them like: behavioristic, nativist and functional, where he define some characteristics of each one in order to deepen in how we act everyday and how we develop ourselves in a natural context and then hoe we work in cognitive process to learn or acquire a new language. I think all those factors are very important, but it is a process, a long process where you have to help children since they are just fetuses, so they can perceive all our affective interaction and all the thing we say and do let them to grow and encourage them to have an assertive language acquisition.
