The five main components of language are phonemes, morphemes, lexemes, syntax, and context. Along with grammar, semantics, and pragmatics, these components work together to create meaningful communication among individuals.
Stages of Acquisition of first LanguageJoel Acosta
Language acquisition is the process by which humans acquire the capacity to perceive and comprehend language, as well as to produce and use words to communicate. The capacity to successfully use language requires one to acquire a range of tools including syntax, phonetics, and an extensive vocabulary. This language might be vocalized as with speech or manual as in sign. The human language capacity is represented in the brain.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Components of Language
Dr. Md. Enamul Hoque, EDRC
2. Definition of Language
Language is a means of communication consisted of sounds,
words, symbols, and grammar used by the people in a
particular country, region, or group.
It is a system of communication based upon words and the
combination of words into sentences.
Language is a set (finite or infinite) of sentences, each finite
in length, and constructed out of a finite set of elements
(Chomsky, 1957).
Language is a purely human and non-instinctive method of
communicating ideas, emotions and desires by means of
voluntarily produced symbols (Edward Sapir, 1921).
A language is a system of arbitrary vocal symbols by means
of which a social group cooperates (B. Bloch and G. Trager,
1942).
Dr. Md. Enamul Hoque, EDRC
3. Theories of Language
Behavioristic: Skinner
Infant begins with no knowledge of language, but
possesses ability to learn it through reinforcement
and imitation
Nativistic or psycholinguistic: Chomsky
Child is prewired for language development and the
environment triggers its emergence
Interactionistic: Piaget
Language occurs through fixed developmental
stages
Dr. Md. Enamul Hoque, EDRC
4. Language Components & Skills
Form
Phonology
Morphology
Syntax
Content
Semantics
Use
Pragmatics
Dr. Md. Enamul Hoque, EDRC
6. Phonology
Study and use of individual sound units in a
language and the rules by which they are combined
and recombined to create larger language units.
Phonemes are the unit of sound such as /s/ or /b/ ,
they do not convey meaning.
Phonemes alter meaning of words when combined
(e.g., sat to bat).
Dr. Md. Enamul Hoque, EDRC
7. Phonological Deficits
Frequently appear as articulation disorders.
Child omits a consonant: “oo” for you
Child substitutes one consonant: “wabbit” for rabbit
Discrimination: child hears “go get the nail” instead of mail
Dr. Md. Enamul Hoque, EDRC
8. Morphology
Study and use of morphemes, the smallest units of
language that have meaning.
A morpheme is a group of sounds that refers to a
particular object, idea, or action.
Roots can stand alone (e.g., car, teach, tall)
Affixes are bound such as prefixes and suffixes and when
attached to root words change the meaning of the words
(e.g., cars, teacher, tallest)
Dr. Md. Enamul Hoque, EDRC
9. Morphological Deficits
Elementary aged: may not use appropriate
inflectional endings in their speech (e.g.,“He walk”
or “Mommy coat”).
Middle school: lack irregular past tense or
irregular plurals (e.g., drived for drove or mans for
men).
Be aware of “Black English”: “John cousin” “fifty
cent”, or “She work here”.
Dr. Md. Enamul Hoque, EDRC
10. Syntax
Study of the rules by which words are organized into
phrases or sentences in a particular language.
Referred to as the grammar of the language and
allows for more complex expression of thoughts and
ideas by making references to past and future events.
Dr. Md. Enamul Hoque, EDRC
11. Syntactic Deficits
Lack the length or syntactic complexity (e.g., “Where
Daddy go?”).
Problems comprehending sentences that express
relationship between direct or indirect objects.
Difficulty with wh questions.
Dr. Md. Enamul Hoque, EDRC
12. Semantics
The larger meaning component of language.
More than single words, includes complex use of
vocabulary, including structures such as word
categories, word relationships, synonyms, antonyms,
figurative language, ambiguities, and absurdities.
Dr. Md. Enamul Hoque, EDRC
13. Semantic Deficits
Limited vocabulary especially in adjectives,
adverbs, prepositions, or pronouns.
Longer response time in selecting vocabulary
words.
Fail to perceive subtle changes in word meaning:
incomplete understanding and misinterpretations.
Figurative language problems.
Dr. Md. Enamul Hoque, EDRC
14. Pragmatics
Knowledge and ability to use language functionally
in social or interactive situations.
Integrates all the other language skills, but also
requires knowledge and use of rule governing the use
of language in social context.
Dr. Md. Enamul Hoque, EDRC
15. Pragmatic Deficits
Problems understanding indirect requests (e.g., may
say yes when asked “Must you play the piano?”).
May enter conversations in a socially unacceptable
fashion or fail to take turns talking.
Difficulty staying on topic.
Dr. Md. Enamul Hoque, EDRC
16. Preschool and Kindergarten
Difficulty with readiness skills: counting, naming
colors, naming the days of the week, and using
scissors.
Unable to follow simple directions, follow a story
line, or enjoy listening to stories.
May exhibit immature-sounding speech, word
finding difficulties, and inability to name common
objects.
Dr. Md. Enamul Hoque, EDRC
17. Elementary Students
Limited ability to identify sounds, analyzing and
synthesizing sound sequences and segmenting
words.
Problems with temporal and spatial concepts (e.g.,
before-after, some, few).
Word finding (retrieval) difficulties exist.
Problems sounding out and blending sounds.
Problems with expressive and oral language.
Dr. Md. Enamul Hoque, EDRC
18. Secondary Students
Tend to be passive learners and lack metacognitive
skills.
Problems gaining information from class lectures
and textbooks, completing homework, following
classroom rules, demonstrating command of
knowledge through test taking, expressing
thoughts in writing, participating in classroom
discussions, and passing competency exams.
Dr. Md. Enamul Hoque, EDRC
19. Bilingual and Culturally Diverse Students
Assessment should be conducted in the student’s
primary language.
Assessment should examine writing, reading,
listening, and speaking skills.
Assessments should include both quantitative
measures (i.e., formal tests) and qualitative
measures (e.g., observations, adapted test
instruction, and a language sample).
Dr. Md. Enamul Hoque, EDRC
20. Formal Language Assessment
Standardized instruments used to compare a
student’s performance with pre-established
criteria.
Clinical Evaluation of Language Fundamentals, Peabody
Picture Voc. Test
Screening Tests
Provides general overview in particular area can norm
referenced.
Diagnostic Tests
Measure one or more specific language components. See
Table 6.3
Dr. Md. Enamul Hoque, EDRC
21. Informal Assessment
Often used to affirm or refute the results of formal
measures.
Determine specific instructional objectives.
Use large sample of items and repeated
opportunities for observations.
Dr. Md. Enamul Hoque, EDRC
22. Informal Tests of Phonology
Analyze student’s production of phonemes in
single words.
List of all the consonant phonemes + pictures to depict
words containing each phoneme (e.g., picture of a pot for
initial /p/, map for final /p/).
Include a comments section to describe the error
recorded.
Provide prompts – “Tell me about your weekend for 3-
minute sample, count correct and incorrect phonemes.
Dr. Md. Enamul Hoque, EDRC
23. Informal Test of Morphology
Determine mastery level of each morpheme in a
hierarchy (Brown, 1973).
ing: present a picture of girls playing and say “The
girls like to play. Here they are ________.”
Student adds missing word.
Show a series of 20 action pictures and ask student
what they are doing.
Accuracy below 90% - morpheme has not been mastered
Dr. Md. Enamul Hoque, EDRC
24. Informal Tests of Syntax
Expressive syntax: analyzing student’s spontaneous
speech, recording conversation.
Sentence repetition: teacher states a sentence and
student repeats it.
Dr. Md. Enamul Hoque, EDRC
25. Informal Tests of Semantics
Logical relationships, cause-and-effect, and
verbal problem solving are difficult to assess.
Verbal opposites: SRA picture cards of 40
pairs of opposites. Student sorts them into
opposites.
Word categories: Teacher says a word and
student says as many words in the same
category.
Semantic relationships: analyzing
spontaneous speech while playing or
interacting with friends.
Dr. Md. Enamul Hoque, EDRC
26. Informal Test of Pragmatics
Analyze spontaneous speech through videotape.
Transcribe tape – see figure 6.3
Classify pragmatic function
Measure inappropriate loudness, talking at
inappropriate times, interrupting the speaker, and
using indirect requests.
Dr. Md. Enamul Hoque, EDRC
27. Strategies for Increasing Language
Comprehension
Establish eye contact and cue student to listen.
Ask student to repeat directions.
Classroom arrangement to reduce
distractions.
Use familiar vocabulary when presenting new
concept.
Present new concept in as many modalities.
Teach memory strategies (e.g., visual imagery,
clustering and grouping information).
Dr. Md. Enamul Hoque, EDRC
28. Strategies for Increasing Language Production
React to the content of student’s message,
then correct syntax error.
Teach language in various settings.
Act as a good language model, have students
imitate what they hear.
Comment or elaborate on students’ ideas to
provide more information.
Use storytelling, role playing, or charades to
improve verbal expression.
Use structured language programs that
provide adequate practice.
Dr. Md. Enamul Hoque, EDRC
29. Students with Mental Retardation
Develop language more slowly, including both
receptive & expressive delays
Often don’t use make use of incidental learning
opportunities
May have insufficient interactions with children
with more skilled language use
Frequently less effective in social communication
Dr. Md. Enamul Hoque, EDRC
30. Students with Behavior Disorders
May possess age-appropriate skills at phonemic and
morphemic level, but have difficulties with syntax,
semantics, and pragmatics
Difficulty expressing ideas, feelings, concerns, and
needs
Oral language may be contain profanity
Difficulty with social communication
Dr. Md. Enamul Hoque, EDRC
31. Students with Learning Disabilities
Problems understanding or using spoken or
written language (definition)
Problems with word retrieval and word choice
Ambiguity and lack of cohesion
Inefficient decoding of messages presented by
speech of others
Uneven language abilities in both school and social
settings
Dr. Md. Enamul Hoque, EDRC
