The statement "Learners need exposure to the language" is one that both cognitivists and behaviorists would agree with.
Explanation:
Cognitivists believe that learners need exposure to the language as they actively process and internalize new information through mental representation and cognitive strategies. They emphasize the role of the learner's mental processes, such as attention, memory, and problem-solving, in language acquisition.
Behaviorists, on the other hand, focus on learning through repetition, reinforcement, and environmental stimuli. They agree that exposure to the language is crucial because learners can acquire language through the association of sounds and meanings when they are exposed to it repeatedly.
Both perspectives recognize that exposure is essential for learning, even though they may explain how learning occurs differently.
