Language Development Theories Graphic Organizer Tia Lazarus EDD 557 Paula Rogers University of Phoenix October 5th, 2015 There are three theories of language learning that have been laid out by language theorists: The Environmentalist Theory spear-headed by Skinner, The Constructivist Theory purported by Melissa Bowerman (Vygotsky, Piaget), and The Nativist Theory put forward by Noam Chomsky and Slobin. While each one is different in it’s approach, they also have similarities. Below is a color coded matrix to explain the theories as well as the similarities and differences between each theory: | Environmentalist | Constructivist | Nativist | Environmentalist | * The caregiver plays the most important role in language development. * The child learns language by imitation, reinforcement, and conditioning. * How much language the child knows is determined by the amount and quality of language s/he is exposed to.
P3 Explain the influence of two predictable and two unpredictable major life events on the development on an individual Predictable Getting your first job It is inevitable that a person will be getting their first job. A person’s first job is a big thing for everyone and will affect them in a number of ways. Firstly it may have a physical effect on them. They may take up a job that requires them to be on their feet for their whole shift, which may be something that they are not used to. So for the first few weeks of their job they may feel fatigued after work and tired more often.
There are a number of strengths and limitations of using unstructured interviews to study pupil subcultures. Pupils may be in articulate or reluctant to talk, so unstructured interviews give them time and space along with encouragement to work out their responses. However, younger pupils have a shorter attention span so they may find long unstructured interviews too demanding as they can be quite time consuming. They can take several hours each and pupils are restrained to their timetable. There is also the need for training and the interviewer needs to have a background into education increasing the cost.
The retirement stage is a hard process and is when a person will need the support from family and friends. Many people have worked hard and long hours to prepare for retirement while others have only saved so much and will be seeking the assistance from others as well as any assistance provided to elderly people. Older men and women may find that their position in society has changed from that they knew when they were younger. Older people may have the difficulty in the change from work to retirement. Late Adulthood brings a time of memories and moments that one will try and cherish the most with their families and friends.
The process of finding and negotiating a purchase or rental agreement can take quite a bit of time and cause stress in a couple just in finding a place that is acceptable and attractive to both. Even when Williams 2 there is no way to physically see the place in person right away. When those details have been worked out, getting an inspection, mortgage approval and closing often come with stressful glitches. Moves require attention to many details. Stopping and starting utilities, getting address changes out to family friends and businesses, driver licenses and insurance, getting children registered in new schools, and learning new rules in a new
Much of the stress that we all experience is helpful and stimulating. The challenges of life tend to be stressful and an attempt to avoid stress completely would lead to a rather boring existence. The problem comes when students experience too much stress. Students need to be prepared for what they will face in the Rockville Campus. For instance, a lot of work will be given, students will be required to finish assignment on the due dates no matter any situation that student are going through.
The focus of this model concerns the brain and functions and abnormal behaviors and unobservable deviant thought processes (Hansell & Damour, 2008). Environmental stressors and external pressure that may provoke dysfunction and abnormal behaviors are accounted for in the sociocultural model. The sociocultural model relates to communication, religion, and family values, and morals (Hansell & Damour,
On top of all this, there are students placed into classes that they are not properly prepared. This takes away from the teachers ability to teach the core curriculum. Many of these students come from other countries with English being their second language. How can we expect those students to keep up with the pace if they don’t know English that well? In addition many students have disabilities.
Along with the advantages of continuing education as an adult come some disadvantages. As an adult learning you have the added responsibilities of trying to juggle classes, homework, possibly a job, and you’re at home responsibilities. This could put extra stress on an already stressed out adult student. As an adult learner you do not only have to do a juggling act on a daily basis but you also have to worry about managing your finances. This is because as an adult learner you already have a life set up with bills to pay and then you have to add your tuition to this (Heibutzki).
Many students, especially those with the greatest literacy and numeracy needs, struggle to cope with the fast pace of the teaching, the bulk of knowledge to assimilate and the rigorous assessment requirements. One hour per week in which to cover both Literacy and Numeracy Key Skills is, in my opinion, not enough, even with the assistance of a member of the vocational teaching staff (who was, in fact, more often absent than not). I think
