Language learning is natural. Babies are
born with the ability to learn it.
Language learning begins at birth.
This learning takes place in three basic
stages.
3. Stage one: Learning Sounds
The sounds a language uses are called
PHONEMES. English has about 44.
The ability to recognize and produce those
sound is called PHONEMIC AWARENESS.
4. Stage Two: Learning Words
Children essentially learn how the sounds
in the Language go together to make
meaning.
Example: Sounds M,Ah,M,and Ee refers to
Mommy.
They learn “word boundaries” or
Morphene- a sound or sounds that have
meaning.
5. Stage Three: Learning Sentences
Children can put words in correct order
to make sentences.
They also learn the difference between
Grammatical correctness and meaning.
6. Language develops at di f ferent rates in di f ferent
chi ldren.
T h e i r l a n g u a g e r e a l l y d o e s n ’ t c omp l e t e l y

chi ldren can speak in complete, grammat ical ly
cor rect sentences l ike a three year old.
7. The system of language consist of sounds,
structures and vocabulary.
Language is a system of systems : there
are phonological and grammat ical systems.
There are several subsystems wi th in a
language.

9. There is no necessary( logic or scient i f ic) or
natural relat ionship between the word of a given
language and the concept they represent .
The rules for the combinat ion of signs in order
to produce complete thoughts are di f ferent from
one language to the other.
Nei ther of these format ions has bet ter claim to
accuracy, correctness or truth than the other.
10. Each language works through symbols
which are sounds, gestures or wri t ten
characters that represent objects,
act ions, events and ideas.
A language has rules that govern how
symbols can be arranged. Organized
hierarchical ly the bui lding blocks of
language; phonemes-----morphemes-----
syntax

uni ts in a language.
2. Morphemes – smal lest meaningful
uni ts in a language.
3. Syntax – system of rules that govern
how words can be meaningful ly
