The Role and Strategy to Stimulate Language Development in Early Childhood Du...EvaniaYafie
The development of aspects of language in human life is very important. A
language is a tool of education and interaction between individuals. Language development
problems in early childhood that often arise are late language emergence (LLE). From some
previous studies, stimulation and education factors become guidelines for teachers and
parents in providing appropriate stimulation through the principle of play while learning and
adapted to the development and age of the child. The purpose of this study is to describe the
role and strategy of stimulating children's language development during the COVID
pandemic. The design of this study uses the method of literature study or literature review.
The results and discussion of strategies for developing children's language for 1-2 years old
can be done by 1) Mothering, 2) Recasting, 3) Echoing 4) Expanding 5) Labeling. While
strategies for developing children's language for ages 3-6 years 1) Increasing Interaction and
Communication with Children 2) Reading aloud, 3) Involving Children in Storytelling, 4)
Providing literacy activities.

Introduction
In Australia, over the last decade, there has been an unprecedented
political focus on literacy attainment levels. In 1998 the Commonwealth
released the National Plan that focussed on the need for states to plan for
system wide early assessment and early intervention. As well the plan
introduced the requirement to develop minimal standards, against
which all children would be assessed and the outcomes reported to the
Commonwealth. In 1998, the Ministerial Council on Employment,
Education, Training and Youth Affairs (MCEETYA) resolved that all
states would conduct full census testing in Years 3, 5 and 7 and that these
would be reported to the Commonwealth against national benchmarks.
Similar pressures were impacting on the work of teachers in the United
States as evidenced in The National Reading Panel Review Teaching
Children To Read (2000).
In the 1980s and 1990s there was a growing body of research demon-
strating that literacy was a social practice (Heath, 1983; Heath and
Mangiola, 1991; Ogbu, 1987; Luke, 1993; Luke and Freebody, 1995). From
this perspective, literacy development was seen to be shaped by the
social practices of the cultural context in which learning takes place
(Freebody, Ludwig, and Gunn, 1995, Luke 2000). This research suggested
that:
The socialisation processes in which children are engaged have a strong
influence on the ways in which they participate in the pedagogical routines
of school classrooms (Baker, 1991; Comber, 1993; Dyson 1993, 1997); and
The social, cultural and linguistic backgrounds of children influence success
in school literacy learning (Luke, 1997 ; Freebody, 1992, Purcell-Gates, 1989).
Since 1998 the Commonwealth, in order to support improved literacy
outcomes, has funded a number of research projects that focussed on
developing our understanding of children’s literacy development and
how to support children with literacy difficulties. These studies, report-
ed in 100 Children Go to School (Hill et al., 1998), Mapping the Territory
(Louden et al., 2000) and 100 Children turn 10 (Hill et al., 2002) provided
important insights into the ways in which children in Australia were
accessing literacy. Through the use of case study methodology, it was

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
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.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. The Role of Early Childhood
Programs in Promoting
Children's Emergent
Literacy Skills
3. 10 Signs of a Great Preschool
If your child is between the ages of 3 and 6 and attends a child care center, preschool, or
kindergarten program, the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC)
suggests you look for these 10 signs to make sure your child is in a good classroom.
1.Children spend most of their time playing and working
with materials or other children. They do not wander
aimlessly, and they are not expected to sit quietly for long
periods of time.
2.Children have access to various activities throughout the
day. Look for assorted building blocks and other
construction materials, props for pretend play, picture
books, paints and other art materials, and table toys such
as matching games, pegboards, and puzzles. Children
should not all be doing the same thing at the same time.
3.Teachers work with individual children, small groups,
and the whole group at different times during the day.
They do not spend all their time with the whole group.
4.The classroom is decorated with children's original
artwork, their own writing with invented spelling, and
stories dictated by children to teachers.
5.Children learn numbers and the alphabet in the context
of their everyday experiences. The natural world of plants
and animals and meaningful activities like cooking, taking
attendance, or serving snack provide the basis for learning
activities.
6.Children work on projects and have long
periods of time (at least one hour) to play
and explore. Worksheets are used little if at
all.
7.Children have an opportunity to play
outside every day. Outdoor play is never
sacrificed for more instructional time.
8.Teachers read books to children
individually or in small groups throughout
the day, not just at group story time.
9.Curriculum is adapted for those who are
ahead as well as those who need additional
help. Teachers recognize that children's
different background and experiences mean
that they do not learn the same things at the
same time in the same way.
10.Children and their parents look forward
to school. Parents feel secure about sending
their child to the program. Children are
happy to attend; they do not cry regularly or
complain of feeling sick.
4. In recent years, several efforts have been undertaken to
synthesize important research on children's emergent
literacy development with the goal of providing educators
and parents with research-based instructional strategies
for enhancing children's literacy experiences during their
preschool years. Two of the most comprehensive
syntheses were released in 1998 and include the National
Research Council's Preventing Reading Difficulties in
Young Children (Snow, Burns, & Griffin, 1998) and the
joint position statement of the IRA and the NAEYC on
early literacy (IRA/NAEYC, 1998). In both of the above
syntheses, the authors recommend that educators employ
a range of strategies to facilitate children's early
literacy development.
5. How Do Children Learn Language?
There are several theoretical approaches to explain how children learn to speak and
understand language. It is most likely that no one theory can explain the entire language
development process. However, important insights can be gained by examining several
major theoretical approaches.
Nativist Theory
Nativists argue that children
have an inborn desire to make
sense of the world. With their
natural drive to attend to the
spoken word and sort out
meanings, children can use
language as a way to make
sense of their world
Social Learning Theory
If children have a desire to learn and
that learning comes without great
difficulty, is that all there is to the
development of language? Social
learning theory explains that children
imitate the words and language patterns
they hear by watching and listening to
the models, caregivers, and family
members in their life (Bandura, 1989).
Some children imitate German words,
others imitate Japanese words, and still
others imitate English words. They
repeat those sounds that are rewarded
with smiles and praise (dada and mama)
and drop out those sounds that are not
rewarded (ngaaw) (Skinner, 1957;
Whitehurst & Valdez-Menchaca, 1988).

Whitehurst & Valdez-Menchaca, 1988).
7. Enhancing the Language Development of Young
Children
Interactionist Theory
• Proponents of the
interactionist theory argue
that children need more than
a desire to speak, more than
an inborn LAD, and more than
a model to imitate.
Interactionists suggest that
children need to interact with
others (Bohannon &
Bonvillian, 1997). They need to
speak and be spoken to.
Neither one, alone, is enough
Brain Research
• New advances in brain research
have allowed scientists to
understand how the physiology of
the brain enables human beings
to learn language. It appears that
the brain is most plastic, or
flexible, in young children. This
plasticity is connected to a critical
period for learning language
easily. This critical period makes it
easiest to acquire language
before age eight or nine, when
the ability begins to shut down.
8. For decades, many researchers, educators, and parents
operated under the assumption that learning to read and
write were processes that began with formal school-based
instruction in kindergarten or first grade (Neuman &
Dickinson, 2001; Whitehurst & Lonigan, 1998). Today,
however, there is broad consensus among researchers that
the developmental precursors of formal reading and writing
(i.e., emergent literacy) emerge during the preschool years.
Unfortunately, millions of children grow up in home
environments that fail to provide the support needed to
foster children's early literacy development (Barnett,
2001). Children who do not receive adequate support from
parents and other adults in the home environment must
depend on outside sources such as early childhood programs
to fill the gap.
10. Strategies that have been shown to be
effective at promoting children's early literacy
development include reading aloud to children
in an interactive style (Bus, van Ijzendoorn, &
Pellegrini, 1995; Dickinson & Smith, 1994;
Hargrave & Sénéchal, 2000); fostering
children's understanding of print concepts
(IRA/NAEYC, 1998; Teale, 1984; Stanovich &
West, 1989); arranging the classroom
environment so that children have an
opportunity to interact with books and other
print materials (Morrow & Weinstein, 1986;
Neuman & Roskos, 1997); providing
opportunities for children to experiment with
writing (Richgels, 2001; Whitehurst & Lonigan,
1998); familiarizing children with letters of the
alphabet and their corresponding sounds
(Adams, 1990; IRA/NAEYC, 1998); and
involving children in activities that promote
children's phonological skill development
(Snow, Burns, & Griffin, 1998).
11. While all of the above strategies have been
shown to be effective, many experts contend
that the single most important teaching
strategy for promoting children's early literacy
development across multiple domains (e.g.,
vocabulary growth, print awareness) is reading
aloud to children in an interactive style that
engages them as active learners (Bus, van
Ijzendoorn, & Pellegrini, 1995; Halle, Calkins,
Berry, & Johnson, 2003; Hargrave & Sénéchal,
2000; IRA/NAEYC, 1998; Whitehurst, Arnold,
Epstein, Angell, Smith, & Fischel, 1994;
Whitehurst & Lonigan, 2001). When children
are encouraged to become active participants
rather than passive listeners, they are more
likely to experience improvements in their
vocabularies and comprehension abilities
(Hargrave & Sénéchal, 2000; Karweit & Wasik,
1996; Whitehurst, Arnold, Epstein, Angell,
Smith, & Fischel, 1994).

23. Conclusion
• When we understand how language
develops, we are in a better position to
promote that development. By first ensuring
that every child has a safe, secure
environment and then by providing
appropriate materials and activities to
facilitate language development, teachers
can maximize each child's innate potential.
Children need to speak and be spoken to,
and engaged in conversation from the very
first.
