First- and Second-Language Acquisition in Early Childhood

Although there are many differences in parent-child interaction patterns around the world, virtually all normally developing children become language users at the same rate. The way children learn language follows a specific pattern and is inherently systemic in nature. It is clear that children must be exposed to language and be able to interact with others, but how that exposure and interaction occur is extremely variable.

Even though young children are not formally taught language, language acquisition is part of the overall development of children physically, socially, and cognitively. There is strong evidence that children may never acquire a language if they have not been exposed to a language before they reach the age of 6 or 7. Children between the ages of 2 and 6 acquire language so rapidly that by 6 they are competent language users. By the time children are of school-age, they have an amazing language ability; it is a seemingly effortless acquisition.

I have myself a child who is a remarkable proof of Language Acquisition at early age. Curiously, I have started feeding him with English since he was in my wife’s womb. She’s a native Spanish speaker and we thought it was a wonderful chance for us to raise him speaking two languages. Now, he is a four years old, happy and very talkative boy, fully bilingual in English and Spanish who has become an example to many people interested in how First ad Second Language Acquisition work at such an early stage. 

Language acquisition refers to the process of natural assimilation, involving intuition and subconscious learning, which is the product of real interactions among people where the learner is an active participant.
