Therefore there are critical【 C10】_times for language development.Current【C11 】_of innateness theory are mixed; however, evidence supporting the existence of some innate abilities is undeniable.【C12】_, more and more schools are discovering that foreign languages ar
19、e best taught in【C13】_grades. Young children often can learn several languages by being【C14】_to them, while adults have a much harder time learning another language once the【C15】_of their first language have become firmly fixed.【C16 】_some aspects of language are undeniably innate, language does not
20、 develop automatically in a vacuum. Children who have been【C17】_from other human beings do not possess language. This demonstrates that【C18】_with other human beings is necessary for proper language development. Some linguists believe that this is even more basic to human language【C19】_than any innat
21、e capacities. These theorists view language as imitative, learned behavior.【C20】_, children learn language from their parents by imitating them. Parents gradually shape their childs language skills by positively reinforcing precise imitations and negatively reinforcing imprecise ones.26 【C1 】（A）gene
