Language Learning Theories

I centered my essay on the "nativist theories", which hold that children are born with an innate propensity for language acquisition and that this ability makes the task of learning a first language easier. These "hidden skills" allow children to quickly figure out what is and what isn´t possible in the grammar of their native language and allow them to master that grammar by the age of three.
Chomsky theorized that children were born with a hard-wired language acquisition device (LAD)in their brains. And later he expanded this idea into that of Universal Grammar.
According to him, the presence of Universal Grammar in the brains of children allow them to deduce the structure of their native language from "mere exposure"
All nativists supporters point out that children on the early age show competency in their native grammars, as well as on the ways they do make errors. Infants are born able to distinguish between minimal pairs, distinguishing between "bah" and "pah" for example.
Nativists also support the existence of a "Critical Period" for a language acquisition; these are time frames during which environmental exposure is needed to stimulate an innate trait.
And here is why, from my point of view, is very important to teach languages at early ages, I think the more exposed to languages is a child, the more he/she learns. And this is because the brain of a child has no limits to stimulation, talking about developing skills, I support that a little child could learn at the same time two languages without problems if he/she has the same amount of stimulation from both languages. Remember that children absorve everything they see, hear or remember during their first stage of life.
Personaly, I like the nativist theory, because I have experience on my own with foreign children and I can tell that it really works.
