A child’s first steps in language learning
- 1. A child’s First Steps in Language Learning J. Doug McGlothlin
- 2. *It is completely surprising how fast children acquire a language without even know it whereas there are several adults around the world investing great amounts of time and money to learn a foreign language. The main objective in this article is knowing if the ability that children have is limited to childhood or if it remains in adults brains and if that ability can be used to acquire a second language. *To know this, the author experimented with his son and for six months the author observed and analyzed the sounds that his son made in order to express his emotions and feelings.
- 3. Knowledge and Type • This article was based on empirical knowledge because the author not only observed but he also experimented in order to obtain his answers. This is also the reason why the type of this article is pratical.
