In U.S. culture, new skills are typically taught and learned through verbal instruction {Slobin, 1979) or through silent observation. A distinction has also been made betwe-en cultures that encourage independent learning and those that encourage cooperative learning
I think its important to be sure to teach students in different ways. not only through silent observation and lecture. Students should be able to ask questions and want to learn. not just sit and listen because lets be honest, they aren't always listening

An early childhood classroom teacher has a crilical role in establishing a learning environment in which the language conlexls provide opporlunilies for children lo continue developing their language competencies.
I love that we will have the opportunity to be such a huge role in a child's life! It's important to have classroom activities where every child can talk and maybe even introduce new languages.

Is a child a "blank slate" at birth, and do the experiences or "nurture" provided in the envi-ronment predominantly determine language development'! Or is the child already "preprogrammed" for language develo11ment in such a way that heredity and matu-ration are the major influences, with experience and context exerting only limited influence'
I'm actually learning about this is another class right now, I've learned that it is about 40% nature or hereditary but the rest comes from the world around you. You'll have students with learning disorders you simply cant change, but you'll have students that maybe hate math and you can make it fun for them.

when you create classroom posters and other displays involving print, you are showing children how written language can be used to communicate. Through these interactions, you will have a significant influence on children's language development. As you prepare for your role as an early childhood professional, it is important that you acquire knowledge of how children develop language competen-cies. This knowledge will enable you to provide guidance, support, and mediation to enhance children's development.
When teaching language you want to be sure you can show the children pictures with the words, the actually word written out and have them saying it. All children learn differently and you want to be sure you are getting through to all of your students.
