1. Krashen's Input Hypothesis: As mentioned earlier, Stephen Krashen's Input Hypothesis suggests that language acquisition occurs when learners are exposed to comprehensible input that is slightly above their current level of proficiency.
2. Chomsky's Universal Grammar Hypothesis: Noam Chomsky's theory proposes that humans are born with an innate ability to acquire language. Universal Grammar is the underlying structure shared by all languages, and children learn specific languages by applying their innate grammatical rules to the input they receive.
3. Skinner's Behaviorist Theory: B.F. Skinner's behaviorist theory suggests that language is acquired through reinforcement and conditioning. He believed that language learning is a result of imitation, repetition, and the rewarding or punishing of specific linguistic behaviors.
4. Vygotsky's Sociocultural Theory: Lev Vygotsky's theory emphasizes the importance of social interactions in language development. He posited that language acquisition is deeply connected to a child's social and cultural context, and that learning is mediated through interactions with more knowledgeable individuals.
5. Lenneberg's Critical Period Hypothesis: Eric Lenneberg proposed that there is a critical period for language acquisition, during which it is easier to acquire a first language. After this critical period, language acquisition becomes more challenging.
