Abstract

In this research, we will try to clarify importance of learning a foreign language in childhood. Among philosophers, empiricism and the psychologists, behaviourists believe that language is a social creature and like other social behaviours are acquired. This is perhaps the most complex and arguable question that have risen among linguists, psychologists and philosophers about language.
