Assignment:

Research the following five theories of language acquisition and development. Pay particular attention to each individual theory and theorist, and how the individual theory/theorist contributed to the "big picture" of how children acquire and develop language.

1. Piaget: Assimilation and Accommodation
2. Vygotsky: Social Learning Theory
3. Skinner: Behaviorism - Environmentalist Theories
4. Krashen: Acquisition vs. Learning
5. Chomsky: Nativism vs. Innatism

Using Piktochart, create an infographic that

1. Describes each theory, including pertinent information about the theory. Use bulleted text rather than complete sentences;
2. Describes the theory in action in the classroom. What kinds of classroom activities reflect the theory? Be specific in providing at least one classroom activity for each theory;
3. Combines graphics (can be images of the theorist, graphics that reflect the theory) with text;
4. Includes a reference list of each source consulted to research and create this infographic.
