This article aims to summarize four major models of language learning and acquisition that have been proposed as theoretical frameworks for classroom instruction and textbook design, and to discuss their impact on textbook-based language learning.
The four most com-monly used languages are Chinese, English, Spanish, and Hindi, which are acquired by over 2 billion as L1s and almost 1.7 billion as L2s, as shown in 2.1 (based on Zhu 2001 and Crystal 1997b): Even just among these four numerically dominant languages, there is great variance.

What internal constraints and external factors shape acquisition? What are the properties of interlanguage systems? This comprehensive 31-chapter ...
This book summarizes the major theoretical debates in all of the core domains of child language acquisi-tion research (phonology, word learning, inflectional morphology, syntax and binding) and includes a complete introduction to the two major contrasting theoretical approaches: generativist and constructivist.
