ommunication Describe the expected pattern of children and young peoples communication development from birth to nineteen years. Communication development it anything to do with our speech and language development, the way we interact with the world around us, gather information, social awareness of situations and how to conduct ourselves when building relationships, among other things. Birth - 4 Months: • Coos, then babbles. These first sounds, apart from crying are intentionally made to show pleasure. Crying with different tones and intensities communicates a need or unhappiness.
A good way to teach this to a child who is having problems with synthetic patterns, is to give them books, like Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss. Orally repeating words that sound alike and practicing writing them as we say them. As we do this the child will be able to say that –at makes this sound in a words, which will help them learn new and bigger words. Also a good way to use this type of instruction is to use actual objects and have the child sort them by the way they sound, then writing those words, and then making sentences out of them. Alternative #2: Spelling Based Instruction, on pages 234 and 235, is an approach that focuses on each child individual level of knowledge.
* How much language the child knows is determined by the amount and quality of language s/he is exposed to. | Similarities: * The child’s environment and their interaction with others plays a large part in language development. * Developing grammar and is seen as a part of language development. | Similarities: * Both theories are based on what the child produces – words and sounds. * Both theories explain how language is developed from birth * Grammar is included in both definitions.
Chomsky believes that every child has a ‘language acquisition device’ or LAD which encodes the major principles of a language and its grammatical structures into the child’s brain. Children have then only to learn new vocabulary and apply the syntactic structures from the LAD to form sentences. https://aggslanguage.wordpress.com/chomsky/ 2. Which of the above principles do you believe have contributed the most to your own language development? Give a specific example.
“Kiddy Thinks” In “Kiddy Thinks”, Alison Gopnik discusses the stages of thinking abilities of babies and young children. Using examples from her personal experiences as a parent and her experiments as a developmental psychologist, she defines these stages and explains the learning processes that take place during them. Through process analysis, Gopnik develops her thesis that babies and young children use the same learning strategies as scientists. Gopnik explains the stages of cognitive development for children from birth to the age of 4 years old. At birth, babies already know they are similar to other people.
Piaget and Vygotsky shared some common thoughts in the role of language in development however their differences were vast. Both agreed that infants are born with the basic materials/abilities for intellectual development however that is where the similarities end. Vygotsky placed more emphasis on social contributions to the process of development, whereas Piaget emphasized self-initiated discovery. Piaget theory is focused around four stages; Sensorimotor, Preoperational, Concrete Operational and finally Formal Operational. The Sensorimotor stage ranges from birth to two years.
Jean Piaget focused his research on studying children and observing their thought processes. With the use of observations, dialogues and small-scale experiments, Piaget argued that to achieve reason and logic children experienced stages of ‘intellectual development’ (Smith, Cowie & Blades, 2003, p.514). According to Passer, M., Smith, R., Holt, N., Bremner, A., Sutherland, E., & Vliek, M. (2009) the four stages of cognitive growth that Piaget founded were the sensorimotor stage (from birth to two years of age), the pre-operational stage (ages 2 to 7), the concrete operational stage (ages 7 to 12) and finally the formal operational stage (ages 12 onwards). In the first stage infants “understand the world through sensory and motor experiences” and learn of object permanence. Object permanence is
Ebonics Pros and Cons Leonard J. Marquez United States University Ebonics Pros and Cons When the Oakland School District made a decision to always Ebonics to be included in the school curriculum what was at stake was not fully understood. On one hand a group of children who spoke differently because of cultural differences than their proper English speaking counterpart began to accept their form of speech as a legitimate way to speak. But what is considered proper English? Do we have a standard that English should be spoken in a certain way regardless of area and culture? Or should the American language reflect a only a particular range and one that should be taught in schools.
Education Reform Act (1988) – Introduced the National Curriculum to all schools in England and Wales and allowed schools to change or modify what was taught to children with SEN. Children Act (1989) – Stated that the rights and wishes of the child should be considered and that the welfare of the child was paramount. Education Act (1983) – Required that a code of practice be introduced for guidance on identification and provision of SEN. Introduced the role of the Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (SENCO) and
