ZARSEL BF Skinner's ideas of how children
develop and learn.
Implications of his theory for the teaching and learning process

B.F Skinner´s studies led him to the idea that children learn language through operant conditioning. Applying positive reinforcement when a child uses a word correctly helps him to learn the association between that word and its meanings.

Explanation:

Celebrating a child for producing sounds that are close to a word reassures him and makes him repeat it. On the other hand, ignoring sounds that aren´t similar to any words makes the child forget about them. Based on his theory, Skinner developed a teaching process for language development based on the reinforcement of correct use of language. Let's imagine a child that says the word "milk" or a sound similar to that word. If he´s given milk after that and praised about it, he will learn the relationship between the word and its meaning and develop a language based on that information.

dear friend:

  i hope this letter finds you in soaring spirits and vibrant health. as you had expressed the wish to know about culture, traditions, and unity of india in your previous letter, in the following lines i have tried my best to give you glimpses of our culture, traditions, and unity. you will be amazed to know that our culture is the oldest culture in the world and the birth place of hinduism, buddhism, jainism, and sikhism. you won’t find any other culture as varied and multi-colored, multi-lingual as ours. each region has its own unique culture, traditions, language. there are 22 official languages in india.

  basically, india is a spiritual country with orthodox traditions. for example the people of india believe in traditions set by their wise forefathers. arranged marriages, joint-family system, universal brotherhood, vegetarianism, celebrating festivals such as diwali, holi, eid, etc., are the salient features of our culture and traditions.

  another unique aspect about our country is ‘unity in diversity’. in spite of the multi-lingual, multi-religious, multi-traditional, multi-cultural society, people live peacefully together, respecting one another’s views, cultures, traditions, and differences. i am sure you would love to visit india soon, and have a first-hand experience of the multi-colored culture. give regards to uncle and aunt. do visit india with your family and experience our hospitality.

your friend,
