WEEK 2

Before going to school, children are mostly influenced by their parents at home. Parents’ every word or movement will affect their children’s perception towards the world. According to Piaget’s theory, children are active learners. Even though they do not speak, they will learn and imitate from observation. From the video, we can see the little girl pretend that she can read just like her mother even if she doesn’t actually know how.
Language learning better starts early. Some people can speak several languages as mother tongue because they live in a multi-language environment. They perceive different languages at the same time and they can organize them after a certain period of time. Though adult learners can learn a second language, it is very hard to speak naturally.
