One little boy of Asian ethnicity spoke to his classmate with complete sentences and his friend responded back with stuttering and broken sentences. The little Asian boy had trouble focusing and had a lot of energy while being in class but he had a strength in communicating with others. Another form of cognitive and linguistic development is for students to have the ability to retain memory and their attention span. While in…

    Project #1: Literacy Narrative I remember walking across the lawn from our tiny add on classroom, up the stairs, and into the second grade class.

This essay will examine whether a child acquires language through a more natural or nurtured environment. Throughout the years there have been many theories to suggest how the human brain develops language. 1.…

    Walter, a 7.6 year old, received a speech-language evaluation to assess his language abilities. According to the American Speech and Hearing Association (2017), school speech-language pathologists are required to adhere to the CCSS. While it is a requirement to adhere to the CCSS, doing so also provides students with the repeated exposure of the curriculum, vocabulary, and multiple opportunities for practice. To assess Walter’s receptive language, The Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT) (Dunn & Dunn, 2007) and the Test of Language Development – Primary 3rd Edition (TOLD-P: 3)…

The Social Interactionist Viewpoint explains my viewpoint of language development.

    Encouraging Language Development Language development is one of the key factors for a child’s healthy cognitive and even physical development as it involves muscles of the face and mouth, requiring them to work simultaneously, ears training to hear and recognize sounds and speech flow and cognition for comprehension and communication. Behaviorist theory suggests that a parent reinforces language when they praise their child for annunciating words like da-da or ma-ma. Although the child begins saying its first words, often comprehension is not yet developed. However with continued reinforcement, concepts of words begin to take shape and the child can imitate what he or she hears and even begin to understand the meaning of words just from the context. Nativist theory proposes that a language acquisition device is used to recognize the pentameter and flow of speech which helps a child discern sounds and syllables regardless of language, rather gaining a universal auditory understanding of language that eventually leads to comprehension and communication.…

    For my paper I was fortunate enough to be granted permission to observe some children at the Chinese summer camp where I went when I was younger, the counselors let me sit in and watch them entertain and educate the children from the corner of the classroom. The room was quite small but was able to accommodate me, four adults, 27 kids with ages ranging from 5 to 7, 30 adult size chairs, and a large table in the center. I was able to take more than an hour worth of notes during my stay there which focused on how the children behaved, reacted, and developed using terms from Child development. While the counselors were preparing for the day’s session cleaning the whiteboard, cleaning the table, and handing out papers the children were busying…

    Human development is a very interesting topic to study as well as becoming more knowledgeable about the many developmental stages in life. What makes it so unique is that each person develops differently in his or her own way. Studying each stage of human development made me more aware of certain things that may or may not occur around that time. After studying the different theories, I can now understand how I developed as a child many years ago. As I go through each discussion about the development throughout my childhood from a cognitive, physical, and emotional psychological point of view.…
