      SLA

      This lesson explores how people learn a second language through four key perspectives:

      🧠 Behaviourism (Skinner) → Language as habit through practice and reinforcement.
      🧬 Nativism (Chomsky) → Language as an innate human capacity.
      📥 Krashen’s Monitor Model → Language through input + emotion.
      🤝 Sociocultural Theory (Vygotsky) → Language through interaction and scaffolding.

      Learners discover that SLA is shaped by practice ⚙️, biology 🧬, input 📥, emotion , and social interaction 👥.
