Answer:

Skinner (1957) argued that language acquisition could be explained by mechanisms of operant conditioning (OC).
OC is a technique that can be used to target and increase a behaviour by pairing performance of the target behaviour with a positive or rewarding outcome (Domjan, 2010).
He believed that positive reinforcement was successful within children's education as it encouraged them to try their best and complete work to their best potential.
Reinforcement can be positive or negative, whether it be praise with a sticker or threatened with punishment such as detention, it can help children choose their actions and behaviour correctly.
