They【C5】______that our highly evolved brain provides us with an【C6】______language ability not found in lower organisms. Supports of this innateness theory say that our【C7】______for language is inborn, but that language itself develops gradually, as a function of the growth of the brain during childhood. Therefore there are critical【C8】______times for language development.

Indeed, more and more schools are discovering that foreign languages are best taught in【C11】______grades. Young children often can learn several languages by being【C12】______to them, while adults have a much【C13】______time learning another language once the rules of their first language have become firmly fixed.
    【C14】______some aspects of language are undeniably innate, language does not develop automatically in a vacuum. Children who have been【C15】______from other human beings do not possess language. This demonstrates that 【C16】______with other human beings is necessary for proper language. Some linguists believe that this is even more basic to human language 【C17】______than any innate capacities. These theorist view language【C18】______imitative, learned behavior. 【C19】______children learn language form their parents by imitating them. Parents gradually shape their child’s language skills by 【C20】______reinforcing precise imitations and negatively reinforcing imprecise ones.
