So many advantages !

Becoming Bilingual
I think this is such an important skill to have and when I have children of my own I may be putting them in classes to learn another language when they are young and minds are like a sponge!
-
and
For a child to be book smart is one thing, but when they are not able to effectively communicate orally this can be a problem growing up.

the
These students are lucky in my opinion. I wish I knew and could effectively communicate in more than one language and be more linguistically flexible.

I lived in Jersey my whole life and until I moved to South Dakota I did not realize I had such an accent and they knew it was from the "New York" area. They teased me and call me "Jerzey" my whole six years stationed there.

As an early childhood teacher. your role is lo continue to enhance children's language development and to encourage children lo dovolop linguistic flexibilily so they can communicate effectively in a wide vari-ety of sol tings.
This is said perfectly. To be a quality teacher in my opinion, you should make it your priority to builds a students language development. Then it is the students job to use these skills they learned in both the classroom and outside the classroom.

Language Developmen
This is random but I did not read as a child. And everyone that I know that does is much more intelligent than me. So, I definitely want to incorporate reading daily in my classroom.
-
join spontaneously in ongoing adult conversations. In addi-tion, in some cultures, children who enthusiastically volunteer answers at school are considered show-offs
I was that student that always raised my hand. I was not by any means considered a show off but I wanted the teacher to know I was serious. No question is a stupid question and it is important to have the students engaged in conversations about the topic.
-
contextual
Depending on their school and home life, this can influence their language. Contextual cues are a great way to learn and experience new ideas in the classroom.
-
At home, the child is often the questioner: at school, the teacher often serves as the primary questioner
I have this cousin Bella and she is four and she asks what everything is and questions everything all day. She already says she does not want to go to school and listen to her teacher. She wants to stay at home with her mom. But, her mom answers all her questions and she runs the show. I cannot imagine her sitting in class and letting the teacher be the primary questionnaire.

culturo
Language and culture are two important factors when looking into language. Different cultures have different customs and ways of doing things and language. I remember being in another country and certain words meant something different there aka a curse word. I said something and the looks I got were bad!

In many classrooms. teachers will not ho multilingual or roprosont diverse c.ulturns, nor will thoy have rccoived any special professional preparation lo work with linguislic diversily (R11hi11stoi11-Avila, 2006). In addilion, attention to tlw linguislic and cull11ral backgrounds of tho children may be limilml and not inrorporallid into llw classroom curriculum.
I personally think that as an educator in such a diverse country we should be helping these struggling students who may have a harder time learning the English language. We have to remember that at home they may not be getting the help they need and we as educators need to be proactive and creative in making it as least stressful and intimidating as possible.

Similarly; when children begin to learn comparative forms of adjectives, they may see the pattern of regular comparative forms, which are made with -er (happier) and -est (11appiest) endings. However, some children apply this rule to all adjec-Ji.Y.es, as in fun, funner, funnest, or even best, bester, bestest. Overgeneralization decreases as language development proceeds and as children have opportunities to interact with adults and older siblings who have acquired more complete morphe-mic owledge.
At early ages, children always will go to this instance as they do not know any better. It is in general the way they will learn adjectives till later on when they begin to read them selves and see how these words are used correctly. I have seen it through my cousins up through age six or seven generally.

Research has documented few instances of children violaling syntactic rules simply because utterances that do not observe the spe-cific language's syntax are nol comprehendible, useful, or meaningful.
It is apparent that when children begin to learn language at an early age, they understand how to put a sentence together using correct syntax. Therefore, it is extremely important to begin reading to the child at an early age, and avoid using baby talk as much as possible.t is much easier for someone to learn a second language at an early age, as they would not have much knowledge of the many rules of syntax And they could learn it with ease, as opposed to being an adult and knowing the rules and trying to verge from them to learn that second language, which become more difficult.

Prosodic features. In addition to the perception of sounds in a language,) oung children notice differences in the way sounds are used in a language to add mean-ing to what is said.
Young children gain the ability to understand when a statement being used has different meaning. Such as when a parent gets upset over something as opposed to them being happy or excited about the same thing.
