Language theory and Learning theory favorites

 My favorite language theory is

Chomsky's theory

Noam Chomsky, a linguist and cognitive scientist, believes that children are born with an innate knowledge of the rules that govern language. This makes him a nativist. His research in the 20th century also suggests that rules are universal among known human languages. For example, Japanese and English look very different, but both languages ​​are verbs, and in both languages ​​verbs take an object. The difference is where the object of the verb is in the sentence. According to Chomsky, the reason children learn language so quickly is because they already know the rules.

The learning process and the evolution of language

As Chomsky explains, human language allows us to express a multitude of ideas, information and emotions. Consequently, language is a social construct that never stops evolving. Society sets the guidelines for the norms and common uses of language, both in its oral and written versions.

In fact, it is very common for children to use language in a very particular way: mixing concepts, inventing words, deforming others, constructing sentences in their own way... Little by little, their brains assimilate the rules and recurrences of the language, making fewer and fewer mistakes and using appropriately the wide range of artifacts that language offers them.

Favorite learning theory is the VAK model

and auditory learning is one of the three learning styles described in the VAK model. And the one that best represents me is a form of knowledge acquisition in which the person retains mainly the information that he or she hears, as opposed to that which he or she sees or perceives in relation to his or her other senses and feelings.

People who use auditory learning as their primary means of acquiring knowledge especially benefit from teaching methods such as lectures, listening to audiobooks or podcasts, or simply reading aloud what they want to memorize.

In contrast, individuals with this learning style have difficulty following written instructions or internalizing knowledge they read, and acquiring motor skills. The only exception to this is when a written text has a certain rhythm or rhyme, in which case it is easier for them to memorize it.

People whose main mode of knowledge acquisition is auditory learning share a series of characteristics that impact all areas of their lives. For example, they are usually very good listeners to others, have a knack for music and languages, and are usually calmer than visual learners.
