that were unknown to you prior to this week.
In your initial post,
- Explain
the theoretical perspectives of each of these chosen areas.
- Apply
skeptical inquiry to a brief discussion about why language acquisition is
an important area for scholars and educators to understand when developing
learning opportunities.

the concept of language acquisition to your own academic success. Has your
own language development affected your success as a student? As an
employee? How? Based on the resources and your current knowledge, do you
believe you could develop areas of language acquisition, personally, that
would be beneficial to you, your loved ones, or your friends?
