Children learn to speak by IMITATING their parents, and being REWARDED or PUNISHED according to the accuracy of their utterances.
e.g.Children eventually learn to say 'went' rather than 'goed'. This appears to be learn through listening, imitation and correction
- Adults explicitly modelling or teaching langauge and children responding
- Children imitating/repeating adults' speech
- Children learning or repeating mistakes after correction from adults
