Abstract

Environment plays an important role in children development; it not only does effects on their language abilities but also on their learning abilities. Those who are brought up isolated from human society and lack the opportunity to socialize with humans and learn the language skills are so called “Feral Children.” In this paper, we are going to discuss how feral children's behaviors are different from normal children, why they became feral children, and what we can do to help these feral children.
