Between ages 2-6, children's vocabulary grows enormously from 200 words to 10,000 words. During this period, children learn new words through fast mapping and contrasting new words with words they already know. They also start making guesses about meanings and developing biases like mutual exclusivity around ages 2-3. Adults play an important role by recasting language, expanding on what children say, listening attentively, and encouraging further discussion. By ages 3-4, children's grammar develops to include simple sentences following subject-verb-object order and mastery of basic rules and structures, though questions and agreement may still vary. Language acquisition is supported through conversations, reading books, and outings that stimulate learning.

child and language development
Children acquire language in stages from birth through age 6. They progress from babbling to producing single words, then two word sentences and eventually complex multi-word sentences. Children learn language by listening to those around them and practicing. By age 3 children can use descriptive words and opposites, count to 10, and follow simple commands. By age 6 children have mastered most consonant sounds and can tell connected stories about pictures.
Language development in early childhood period
Language development is a critical part of child development from ages 2-6 as it allows children to communicate, express themselves, and develop relationships. Children begin developing language from birth through cries and later learn words and sentences. Healthy language development has many benefits and is important for children's cognitive development and ability to socially interact. Parents can support language development through reading, telling stories, singing songs, and engaging in conversations with their children.
Language development in children
Language development begins early in life through acquiring language from those speaking around infants. Children's language moves from simple to complex, starting without words but developing the ability to discriminate speech sounds by age 4 months. By their second birthday, toddlers use structures like action+agent and action+object, and they begin to interpret the subject+verb+object structure of English. Preschoolers actively analyze language, formulating rules and hypotheses to continue learning more complex structures and vocabulary.

Language Development in Children
The document discusses language development and language disorders in children. It describes the stages of language development from birth to age 5. It also discusses several common language disorders, including aphasia, lisps, and autism. The causes of language disorders can include genetic factors, developmental problems, accidents, or damage to parts of the brain involved in language processing. Early intervention and treatment is important to address language delays or disorders in children.
Stages of language development
The document discusses language development in children from infancy through early childhood. It describes the stages of language development including pre-linguistic, holophrase, two-word, telegram, and near-adult grammar stages. Key aspects of language such as semantics, vocabulary, syntax, and speech are also outlined at different ages.
Early childhood
- Childhood spans from approximately ages 2-13 for girls and 2-14 for boys, encompassing both early and late childhood.
- Early childhood is ages 2-6 and involves remarkable physical, cognitive, social, and emotional development. Late childhood is ages 6 until sexual maturity and brings increased independence and importance of peer groups.
- Both periods see development of skills, speech, emotions, social behaviors, and conceptual understanding, with late childhood bringing improved control and group orientation.
- Hazards during childhood include physical illnesses or accidents as well as social isolation, inconsistent parenting, and peer rejection, which can negatively impact adjustment.
Cognitive development
Cognitive development is the process of acquiring knowledge and learning to solve problems through growth in thinking, reasoning, memory, language, and other mental processes. It occurs in stages from infancy through adolescence. The first stage from birth to 2 years is the sensory motor period where infants learn through reflexes and senses. The next stage from 2 to 7 years is the preoperational period when children use language and symbols but think egocentrically. The third concrete operations stage from 7 to 12 years involves logical and organized thought and concrete problem solving. Formal operations in adolescence involve abstract thinking and scientific reasoning. Cognitive development is influenced by both biological maturation and social/environmental factors.

Language is a complex system of communication that humans learn through both innate and environmental factors. It involves using symbols according to a set of rules. Children progress through several stages in acquiring language, starting with babbling and moving to one-word, two-word, and multi-word sentences as their vocabularies and understanding of grammar increase. Theories on language development include nativist, behaviorist, and interactionist perspectives on the roles of biological predisposition, environmental learning, and social interaction.
Socio emotional development at Early Childhood
Presented By: Anvesh Chauhan, discusses socio emotional development in early childhood. Social emotional development includes the ability to experience and manage emotions and establish relationships. It is crucial for skills like communication, self-regulation, empathy and coping. Socially, children learn to interact with others and view themselves as individuals. Emotionally, they expand what emotions they can feel, understand emotions in others, and start regulating their own emotions. Successful social emotional development helps children establish peer relationships and initiative, while challenges can increase anxiety, sadness and behavior issues.

Early Childhood Development
This document discusses development in early childhood from ages 2-6. It covers physical, cognitive, emotional, social and language development. Some key points include:
- Early childhood is subdivided into early childhood (ages 2-6) and late childhood (ages 6-puberty)
- Physically, children grow taller, heavier and stronger, and lose their baby features
- Cognitively, comprehension and speech skills improve as they learn to form sentences
- Emotionally, common feelings include anger, fear, jealousy and affection
- Socially, play is important for learning and includes toy play, constructions, games and pretend play
- Morally, development is low but children learn rules through discipline at
LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT IN PRESCHOOL YEARS
The document discusses the journey of language development in preschoolers from ages 3 to 6 years old. It covers areas like vocabulary growth, grammar skills, receptive and expressive language milestones, social influences on language, and factors affecting language development. By age 6, children typically have a vocabulary of 2,600 words and can tell stories by looking at pictures. Their grammar is mostly correct by this age as well. Social interactions, cognitive readiness, and biological factors all influence a child's language acquisition process during the preschool years.
Basic concepts in child development
This document discusses child development and the areas and stages of growth. It defines development as qualitative changes that are progressive, ordered and long-lasting, involving physical, emotional, intellectual, social and spiritual growth. Growth is defined as quantitative physical changes measured by height, weight etc. The main areas of development are also physical, emotional, social, spiritual and intellectual. Development occurs through distinct stages of infancy, childhood, adolescence and adulthood.
child development
This document provides an overview of child development by outlining the key periods of development from infancy through adolescence. It describes the three main domains of development - physical, cognitive, and social/emotional. The document then discusses several influential theories of child development, including psychoanalytic, behavioral, cognitive, and biological approaches. It profiles some of the major theorists in each approach, such as Freud, Piaget, Vygotsky, and Bronfenbrenner, and summarizes some of their core concepts and contributions to understanding child development.
Social and Emotional Development
The document discusses social and emotional development according to Erikson's psychosocial stages of development. It describes each stage from infancy through late adulthood, the key task or strength developed at each stage, and examples. The stages include trust vs. mistrust in infancy, autonomy vs. shame in toddlerhood, initiative vs. guilt in early childhood, industry vs. inferiority in middle childhood, identity vs. role confusion in adolescence, intimacy vs. isolation in young adulthood, generativity vs. stagnation in middle adulthood, and ego integrity vs. despair in late adulthood. It emphasizes that successful resolution of earlier crises influences success in later stages.
Early childhood (Cognitive Development)
Early childhood from ages 2-6 is a period of rapid cognitive development. Children progress through Piaget's pre-operational stage, developing the ability for representational thought and pretend play. However, at this stage children have limitations in logical thinking and reasoning. They do not understand the concept of conservation or how to make logical inferences. Memory skills also develop during this stage, with recognition abilities stronger than recall. Vygotsky's sociocultural theory emphasizes that cognitive development occurs through social interactions and guided learning from adults and more capable peers.
Late childhood: meaning, characteristics and hazards
Late childhood spans ages 6 to puberty. This stage sees significant physical growth as well as cognitive and social-emotional development. Children develop skills in various areas like self-care, social interaction, academics, and play. They spend more time in peer groups and friendships become important. Hazards during late childhood can be physical, psychological, or related to social relationships and development. Effective guidance is needed to help children through this period of transition.
Language & Literacy in Early Childhood
This document discusses early language and literacy development in children. It begins by explaining how humans communicate through gestures, facial expressions, and sounds from birth. It then describes the process of learning oral language in the early years through listening, speaking, and using language in everyday situations without formal instruction. The document outlines typical language development milestones in infants and toddlers, from crying and cooing to using single words and simple sentences. It also discusses early literacy development, how children learn about reading and writing through play, and the importance of a print-rich environment. The document provides tips for activities to support language and literacy like flannelboard stories, group time, and setting up a language arts center.
Late Childhood
The developmental tasks of a child from 6-12 years of age, and the hazardous experience if he/she cannot overcome it.
Piaget’S Cognitive Development Theory
Piaget's theory of cognitive development consists of four stages:
1) Sensorimotor stage (birth to age 2) where children learn through senses and physical interaction.
2) Preoperational stage (ages 2-7) where children develop language and imagination but lack logical reasoning.
3) Concrete operational stage (ages 7-11) where children develop logical thinking skills and understand conservation.
4) Formal operational stage (ages 11 and up) where children develop abstract reasoning and can think hypothetically.
Piaget developed this theory by observing his own children and it focuses on how children construct an understanding of the world through experiences over time.
Early childhood education
The document discusses recent developments in curriculum and pedagogy for early childhood education in India. It outlines the National Curricular and Pedagogical Framework for Early Childhood Care and Education which includes 3 sections covering the foundation, goals, and implementation of early childhood learning. The framework adopts a flexible, activity-based approach and emphasizes the importance of play, art, music and craft in developing children's skills.
Early childhood development
Early childhood spans from birth to age 5 and involves remarkable physical, cognitive, socio-emotional, and language development. Key physical milestones include walking, running, and fine motor skills like scribbling and cutting. Cognitively, children progress from sensorimotor thinking to representational thought, such as pretend play and understanding of symbols. Socio-emotionally, children develop self-awareness and understanding of emotions while learning social skills through family and peer interactions. This period lays the groundwork for further development across multiple domains.
Emotional development
This document discusses emotional development from infancy through childhood. It defines emotions and outlines their key characteristics. Emotional development refers to the ability to recognize, express, and manage feelings at different stages of life. The document describes common emotional patterns in childhood like fear, anger, and joy. It also outlines Bridge's chart, which shows the approximate ages at which different emotions first appear in children from 3 months to 5 years old. Factors that can influence a child's emotional development include their health, intelligence, family environment, and school atmosphere.
Physical and motor development of children and adolescent
This document discusses physical and motor development in children and adolescents. It defines physical and motor skills and identifies stages of development from infancy to adulthood. During childhood, motor skills develop from large muscle movements to smaller, more refined movements. Fine motor skills involve smaller muscle groups while gross motor skills use larger muscle groups. The document provides examples of activities to develop both fine and gross motor skills. Physical development accelerates during adolescence through growth spurts and the onset of puberty bringing sexual maturity. Overall development follows predictable patterns but individuals vary in their needs and styles at each stage.
Early Childhood Development
Early childhood development spans from infancy to around ages 5-6. It involves rapid physical, cognitive, and social-emotional growth. Physically, children gain height and weight each year and improve motor skills like jumping, hopping, and balancing. Cognitively, vocabulary increases greatly as does the ability to use language and represent abstract ideas. Socially and emotionally, children develop relationships with peers and start to evaluate themselves.
Child development-in-different-domain
Young child playing in squatting position
Child development entails the biological, psychological and emotional changes that occur in human beings between birth and the end of adolescence, as the individual progresses from dependency to increasing autonomy. It is a continuous process with a predictable sequence, yet having a unique course for every child. It does not progress at the same rate and each stage is affected by the preceding developmental experiences. Because these developmental changes may be strongly influenced by genetic factors and events during prenatal life, genetics and prenatal development are usually included as part of the study of child development. Related terms include developmental psychology, referring to development throughout the lifespan, and pediatrics, the branch of medicine relating to the care of children.
Early language development
This document discusses early language development in infants and children. It covers prelinguistic communication through babbling, gestures, and pointing that occurs before children start using words. It then examines phonological, lexical, and semantic development as children's vocabularies grow. Some key points discussed include: infants producing prelinguistic vocalizations and gestures between 8-12 months; a noun bias in children's early words across languages; challenges to the noun bias from studies of other languages; and constraints that help children map words to meanings as their vocabularies develop.
Language Acquisition: Lecture 3 Lexical and Semantic Development
This document discusses lexical and semantic development in children. It outlines that lexical development refers to a child's acquisition of words, while semantic development is a child's understanding of word meanings. It provides details on the typical growth of a child's vocabulary from 50 words at 18 months to 2000 words by age 5. It also notes that children understand more words than they can produce at each stage of development. The document examines common errors like overextension and underextension of word meanings as children learn. It outlines three stages of vocabulary acquisition: labelling, packaging, and network building to fully understand word meanings.

Language Learning in Early Childhood
This document discusses language development in early childhood. It defines key terms like first language (L1), second language (L2), foreign language (FL), and target language (TL). It then covers typical patterns and sequences in L1 development, including acquisition of grammatical morphemes, negation, and questions. Theoretical approaches to L1 acquisition like behaviorism and innatism are also introduced.
Chapter 1 Language Learning in Early Childhood
This chapter discusses language learning in early childhood. It covers topics such as first language acquisition milestones in the first three years including negation and question formation. It also discusses language development in pre-school and school-aged children. The chapter examines theoretical perspectives on first language acquisition such as behaviorist, innatist and interactionist views. It further discusses language disorders and delays in children as well as childhood bilingualism.
Semantic development
Children develop semantic skills gradually, learning a few words per week at first and then experiencing a vocabulary burst where they learn around 5 new words per day. By age 5, the average child has a vocabulary of around 6,000 words. Children use principles like fast mapping and whole object assumption to efficiently learn new words and their meanings. Their ability to learn and apply grammatical rules like plurals and past tense is evidenced by tests like the WUG test and their tendency to overregularize irregular verbs. Mean length of utterance (MLU) can measure children's developing syntactic skills as they start combining words.
Language Development - General Psychology
The document discusses human development from a scientific perspective, seeking to understand how and why people change throughout life, including physical, emotional, language, social, perceptual, and personality growth. It notes that infants at this stage of development can understand simple instructions when accompanied by vocal or physical cues, use words or word fragments, and are aware of the social aspects of speech.
Motor development
Motor skill development progresses from head to tail and inside to outside of the body. Gross motor skills like crawling and walking help children move in their environment, while fine motor skills involve smaller movements like grasping and reaching. The development of motor skills has cognitive implications as it allows children to explore their surroundings and develop understandings of spatial concepts.
Stages of child language acquisition.
This document summarizes the key stages of child language acquisition from birth to age 5. It identifies 4 main stages: 1) the pre-linguistic period from birth to 10 months where babies develop sounds but no words; 2) the holophrastic period from 12 to 18 months when children use single words; 3) the telegraphic period from 2 to 3 years when children use 2-word phrases; and 4) the complex period from 3 to 5 years when grammar becomes more advanced. The document also discusses some of the milestones within each period, such as babbling and first words.
Unit 1
1. The document discusses emergent literacy, which refers to the literacy skills and competencies that children develop from an early age, even before formal schooling begins.
2. Several child development and learning theories are described that support the development of early literacy skills, including theories by Rousseau, Montessori, Dewey, Piaget, Froebel, Pestalozzi, Vygotsky, and the constructivist model.
3. The document then discusses characteristics of emergent readers, noting they range from ages 2-7 and begin to familiarize themselves with print concepts like directionality and the link between spoken and written words.
Explaining first language acquisition
The document summarizes theories of first language acquisition. It discusses the imitation/behaviorist theory proposed by Skinner, which views language learning as habit formation through reinforcement. It also discusses the innateness/nativist theory of Chomsky, which posits that humans are born with an innate language acquisition device. The document further examines cognitive, input, and connectionist theories and their varying perspectives on how the environment and mental faculties influence language learning.
Fine and Gross Motor Development
This document discusses the development of gross and fine motor skills in children. It defines gross motor skills as those involving the large muscles and whole body, such as walking, running, and jumping. Fine motor skills involve the hands and fingers, like writing, cutting, and building with blocks. The document then lists typical milestones for both gross and fine motor development in infants and children. It emphasizes the importance of allowing children freedom to practice skills and providing opportunities and materials that encourage motor development. Developing these skills helps children gain confidence and independence.
Stages of Acquisition of first Language
The document discusses language acquisition in children from birth through age 10. It describes the prelinguistic, one-word, two-word, telegraphic, and later language development stages. Key points covered include the difference between learning and acquisition, the roles of nature and nurture, and how children gradually develop more advanced grammar and vocabulary over time through social interaction.
First language acquisition
Children acquire language through a complex interaction between innate cognitive abilities and environmental factors like social interaction and modified input from caregivers. While children have an innate language acquisition device, language development is also shaped by children's cognitive development and their social environment where they learn through interaction.
Motor Skills owerpoint
The document discusses motor skills including gross and fine motor skills. It describes various non-locomotor skills like stretching, bending, twisting, balancing, and rocking. It introduces the game "Chicken in the Hen House" which involves finding a partner and performing non-locomotor skills when called out. The game "Mister Fox" is also described where players hop, skip, leap, run, walk or slide between opposite ends. Physical activity is recommended for obesity prevention, reducing disease risks, and building/maintaining bones, muscles and joints.
Connectionism pp 3
This document discusses the debate between whether innate grammar or emergent grammar through conversation drives language acquisition. It presents the arguments for the innate grammar view (APG) versus the emergent grammar view (EG) that sees grammar as a byproduct of discourse. It also discusses connectionist models of language learning that see the brain as accumulating statistics from a communicative environment to develop language, without innate grammatical structures.

Theories Of Language Acquisition[1]
The document discusses four main theories of language acquisition:
1) Imitation theory proposes that language is learned through imitation, repetition, and reinforcement of utterances.
2) Nativist or innateness theory argues that humans are born with an innate language acquisition device that allows them to learn language quickly based on innate linguistic principles and parameters.
3) Cognition theory views language acquisition through a cognitive-psychological lens, focusing on mental processes like reasoning.
4) Motherese or input theory emphasizes the role of maternal input and interactions in aiding language development.
Hlal4 ch3 summary
Chapter 3 of How Languages Are Learned discusses individual differences that can impact second language acquisition. It explores factors like motivation, personality, learning styles, and age of exposure that may influence success. While younger learners often achieve higher proficiency, especially in naturalistic contexts, other individual traits are also important. The relationship between age and language learning is complex, depending on the learning environment and goals. No single characteristic determines outcomes - a variety of internal and external factors interact in the language acquisition process.
Approaches To Language Acquisition
This document discusses different approaches to language acquisition in children. It describes the nativist view that children are born with innate, universal linguistic principles and parameters that guide language learning. In contrast, the empiricist view sees language acquisition as shaped solely by environmental factors and general learning mechanisms. The document also examines studies of child-directed speech and proposes that while it helps engage children, it is not necessary for acquisition. Overall, the process of language learning in children involves an interaction between innate capacities and environmental influences.
The Language Experience Classroom Presentation Changed For Blog
This document provides guidance on implementing a language experience approach in early childhood classrooms. It discusses the importance of oral language development and emphasizing children's personal experiences. The key aspects of this approach are that children can talk about what they can think about, write about what they can say, and read what they can write. The approach should be interwoven with best practices of early childhood education and focus on developing children's communication, literacy, and inquiry skills.

Language acquisition 1
This document summarizes key aspects of language acquisition in children. It discusses how children progress from prelinguistic communication like babbling to understanding words and basic sentences. Children first learn nouns and verbs referring to objects and actions around them. They develop the ability to share attention and experiences with others. The document also examines how children learn meanings of words, grammar rules, and pragmatic uses of language in social contexts. Both nativist and interactionist perspectives on language learning are presented. Essential ingredients for language development include biological prerequisites in the brain and environment, cognitive abilities, fast mapping skills, social interaction, and exposure to language.
Language acquisition 1
This document discusses language acquisition in children. It covers prelinguistic communication skills in infants, the development of pointing and early words. It also examines the puzzles of how children learn word meanings and grammar. The document outlines the four subsystems of language - sounds, words, sentences, and language use. It compares nativist and environmental explanations for how children acquire language abilities.
發展心理學Language acquisition 1
This document provides an overview of language acquisition. It discusses:
1) Prelinguistic communication stages in infants from birth to 12 months including cooing, babbling, and pointing which are precursors to language.
2) The development of words and sentences in children, starting with single words at 13-14 months and progressing to two-word combinations by 18 months and basic grammar by age 2.
3) Theories of language acquisition including nativist and interactionist perspectives. Nativism posits innate linguistic abilities while interactionism emphasizes social and environmental influences.
Chapter 9 outline
This document outlines the key stages of language development from infancy through childhood in three parts:
1) Infancy, where babies progress from babbling to first words between 10-15 months, and two-word utterances emerge between 18-24 months. Gestures also play an important role in early communication.
2) Early childhood sees rapid vocabulary growth and syntax development, with children able to understand and use morphological rules by age two. Between ages 2-3, speech becomes more complex.
3) Middle and late childhood bring continued advances in vocabulary, grammar, reading, writing, and metalinguistic awareness - the ability to think and talk about language itself. By age 11, vocabulary reaches around 40
Week 6 Language Development
Language develops through a series of stages from infancy through adulthood. Infants begin with crying and cooing, then progress to babbling and first words between 10-15 months. By 18-24 months, children use two-word phrases to communicate. In early childhood, children rapidly expand their vocabulary and grammar skills, learning rules of syntax, morphology, and semantics. Literacy instruction begins in preschool through activities like dialogic reading. In middle childhood, children further develop reading, writing, and metalinguistic skills. Adolescents gain skills in vocabulary, metaphor, and literary analysis. In adulthood, vocabulary increases until late life when retrieval difficulties and slowed processing may occur, though communication remains adequate.
Stages of children development and the related theories
Children develop language skills in stages from infancy through adolescence according to various theories. In infancy, children progress from crying to babbling to first words according to behaviorist, nativist, and interactionist theories. In early childhood, vocabulary and grammar advance through techniques like fast mapping words and learning rules. By preschool, children converse effectively using culturally appropriate language. In adolescence, oral and written language continue maturing through skills like interpreting language in context.

1. Language develops within the socio-cultural contexts of children's lives, including family and community.
2. Both children and adults use language differently depending on the social situation and cultural norms.
3. Being aware of how context influences language can provide insights into a child's language abilities and development across environments.
Chapter 1 how languages are learned - pasty m. lightbown and nina spada
This document discusses theories of first language acquisition in children. It covers 3 main perspectives: behaviorist, innatist, and interactionist. The behaviorist view is that children learn language through imitation and reinforcement. The innatist perspective is that humans are biologically programmed for language. The interactionist view is that language develops through social interaction and is dependent on cognitive development. Child-directed speech and feedback from caregivers play an important role in most children acquiring language normally.
Psycholinguistics - Part 2
Language attrition can be defined as the reduction, weakening or loss of a first, second, third, or more language in an individual or community. Research focuses on attrition in individuals, though definitions also include attrition within communities leading to language death. There are interesting parallels between individual and community language attrition from various perspectives. This entry focuses on attrition in individuals.
Learning a Second Language at Home and at School
This document discusses bilingualism and learning a second language. It defines bilingualism as using two languages fluently like a native speaker. Code-mixing involves combining words and grammar from two languages in one sentence, typically during early acquisition. Code-switching means switching between languages according to the speaking situation. Young children can learn languages simultaneously by being exposed to both from birth, developing separate but equal language systems in their brains. Older sequential learners use different strategies like relying on a more mature conceptual understanding and analytical skills.
BES-ENG11.pptx
This document provides an overview of an English module that covers further developing reading, writing, listening, and language skills. It discusses key concepts like primary and secondary languages, the five basic areas of language skills, and stages of language development. Assessment includes an assignment worth 130 marks and a 3-hour examination with the same format as the assignment. The module will cover units on forms of language learning, theories of language development, and developing listening skills.
Week 2 12
The document discusses theories of first language acquisition. It describes:
- Children progress through predictable stages of language development in their first years, starting from babbling and cooing to first words and two-word sentences.
- Grammatical morphemes like plurals and verb tenses are acquired in a consistent order cross-linguistically. Children also show understanding of grammar through tests like the "wug test."
- Questions, negation, and word order in questions each have developmental stages as children's language skills increase in complexity.
- Behaviorist theories of language learning, including classical conditioning and operant conditioning, viewed language as learned through stimulus-response associations and reinforcement.

LESSON 1-First and SEcond language acquisition.pptx
The document discusses first and second language acquisition, outlining the stages of acquiring a first language from babbling to telegraphic speech, and comparing this process to learning a second language as an adult, which faces barriers like insufficient focus, incentive, and the passing of the critical period for acquisition. It also examines factors that affect second language learning like age, affect, and the emphasis on different teaching methods from grammar translation to communicative approaches.
Languagedevelopment
- Language development is the process by which children learn to understand and use language from birth through early childhood. It involves two main components: receptive language (comprehension) and expressive language (speech).
- Infants begin by distinguishing speech sounds and perceiving words through mechanisms like stress patterns. Around their first birthday, they start speaking their first words and combining words.
- Between 18-24 months, children experience a "naming explosion" where their vocabulary grows rapidly through fast mapping skills and cognitive development helps link words to meanings. They also start using basic grammatical constructions.
- The development of language involves both innate and learned abilities. Children learn through interacting with caregivers, imitating speech, and picking up
Child Language Acquisition.pdf
This document discusses first language acquisition and second language acquisition. It provides definitions and discusses the stages of first language acquisition including cooing, babbling, one-word stage, two-word stage and telegraphic speech. It also discusses the acquisition process involving learning through imitation, correction, developing morphology, syntax and semantics. The document then discusses second language acquisition, the difference between acquisition and learning, and factors that can create barriers to second language acquisition such as age and affective factors. It concludes by discussing different language teaching methods such as grammar translation, audiolingualism, and communicative approaches.
FIRST LANGUAGE ACQUISITION AND SECOND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION
The document discusses first and second language acquisition. It defines first language acquisition as the process of learning one's native language from birth. Key stages include cooing, babbling, one-word, two-word, and telegraphic speech. Caregiver speech assists infants through techniques like exaggerated intonation. Second language acquisition refers to learning additional languages and can be more difficult for adults due to critical period effects. Motivation, input/output, and teaching methods like task-based learning impact the process.
null.pptx
This document discusses several theories related to English language literacy development. It covers Piaget's theory of cognitive development and how it relates to four stages of reading development. It also discusses maturation theory, Holdaway's theory of literacy development, stage models of reading including pre-alphabetic, partial alphabetic, full alphabetic and consolidated alphabetic phases. Additionally, it covers emergent literacy theory and family literacy theory, both of which emphasize the importance of early literacy experiences at home.

Language development in early childhood
- 1. Language Development in Early Childhood Angel Mendez Ale Monroy Dmitry Olshansky
- 2. Vocabulary • Between ages of 2-6 spoken vocabulary grows from 200 to 10,000 words • First: FAST MAPPING • Later: contrast new word to word they already know
- 3. Children will make guesses • When do kids make guesses? • When do kids have biases? • Why do we care about these biases? Role of adults: • Recast/model for kids • Expand • Listen attentively • Stimulate child to talk further
- 4. Mutual Exclusivity Bias • 1990 study by Au and Glusman • Mido / Theri • Shape Bias - first several hundred nouns are refer to objects wellorganized by shape • Whole-object Assumption
- 5. 2-3 years old: Mutual Exclusivity Bias is set aside Various descriptions. Is the Child overwhelmed?
- 6. Age 3 and further: new properties start to make sense • Colors: shows numerous objects that don’t belong to the same category but match in color • Synaptic bootstrapping • Distinction between an object and action on an object
- 7. Also by 3 years and further • Meanings start to make sense (fish/tuna) • By 4, differences in certainty/uncertainty in adult’s voice can help with designating meanings and naming objects
- 8. 3 years: combing words they know to describe once they don’t • Plant man • Letter lady • Garbage man
- 9. Child begins to use metaphors • Clouds are pillows • Time flies by
- 10. Grammar • Between ages 2-3 English speaking kids use simple sentences that follow subjectverb-object word order • Basic Rules: 1. Children look to adults as speech models 2. Up until ages 3-4 children apply subject-verb-object with the verbs they've learned 3. At this age they also master plural form, and some tenses and prepositions 4. Some children have problems with overregularization, which is the extension of grammatical rules to words that are exceptions.
- 11. Complex Structures • Questions still remain a variable after ages 2-3 • Children at this age also have trouble with subject-verb agreement and subject-case • By the end of the child's preschool years most the use of grammatical constructions are made but it's not until middle childhood that passive expressions are mastered and applied
- 12. Explaining Grammatical Development • Chomsky's language acquisition device (lad ) assumes that kids have instinct on using grammatical rules. • Experts believe that language is part of cognitive development • Children use word meanings to figure grammatical rules this is called semantic boosting
- 13. Conversation Pragmatics – the practical, social side of language, concerned with how to engage in effective and appropriate communication. 1. Role of Siblings 2. Adjustment of Speech 3. Highly demanding situations http://youtu.be/_BMT6BfxR7w
- 14. Supporting Language learning • • • • Conversations Variety of grammar Read books Outings i.e. Museums etc. Say Peanut Butter http://youtu.be/w4GjPlR6BAE
