Technology in learning and teaching language Introduction The innovation of communication technology has had a major impact on teaching language and how it is learnt, causing a major paradigm shift in authorship and how language is disseminated in a community. This paper will critique the important issue on how language is related to technology and these are the status of what is referred to as CALL (Computer assisted learning language), its cultural influence, its effectiveness and theoretic overview

Discussion: Dabrowska’s findings (2008a) with respect to Polish genitives are consistent with the claim that there is variation in people’s linguistic knowledge who speak the same language, since the grammatical rules they use in producing genitives are different from one to another. These findings rebut Roeper’s opinion (2012:293) that the accuracy of the results might only be in the case of “another grammar is produced”. More than that, Roeper suggests that requires to present “consistent alternative

uses learnability both as a challenge to theories of language acquisition, and as a heuristic for evaluating them. Terrence Deacon, in The Symbolic Species, while dismissive of most of Chomskyan linguistics, still sees the learnability problem as a challenge to any theory that hopes to explain human linguistic knowledge.

Introduction It is commonly accepted that the earlier people start learning a language, the more successful they will be. However, it is difficult to ascertain how much intertwined language acquisition and age really are. The concept of a “sensitive period”, which is a phase during development when learning a particular skill can occur more effectively than later on in life, is well known in nature. A few examples are imprinting in ducks and song learning for songbirds (Clark 2009). The sensitive
