I learn more from images than I do from texts.

more ways teachers can help support students as they read (think and search)

the basic elements of comprehension. (right there)

acknowledging different cultures and language will help students relate and open up to you more.

It is so important not to discourage children from speaking and sharing their thoughts. Children who speak and express themselves freely tend to be more advanced compared to children who are scared or taught not to share what they think.

This might be the hardest thing about incorporating PBL. Its so comfortable for teachers to use textbooks as guides, it's so easy. However, it is not at all beneficial for the students. Teachers shouldn't be able to take the easy route, it's a job, it's not supposed to be easy, it's supposed to be a challenge. Teaching for a textbook and a test is only hurting the student.

These are the skills that gets work done faster. It allows companies and administrations to progress.

I believe that if students do not see a point or need to learn something then there is no drive for them to understand it. Even for me in my college general education classes, I still found myself saying "why do I need to know this, it's boring, I'm never going to actually teach this stuff, and it's just two extra years the college took advantage of my money." If my professors took the time to say oh your an education major well then look you can learn about this and have this information in your head to teach your future students. instead I was the sponge that two many teachers and professors preach to.

This is so true. Every poster project I did in high school only "regurgitated facts that I read. It was never my own thoughts. In my college education classes I have learned that the most important thing you can do to truly understand a concept is to say it and think about it in your own thoughts and words.

I believe it is important to get parents involved and teach them the basics of how children develop. This knowledge will help the parents better know how to play with their children and also educate them at the same time. They will also hopefully understand the importancde of the role they play in their childs development and how being active parents can give their child developmental advantages.

Scaffolding is also used when learning a new language (2nd language)

"describing scenes" to children in order to get them to "guess" what you are talking about without actually naming the object or activity. Can be a fun game

Is it possible for a lack of shared reference alone to delay speech all together? I babysit for a 5 year old boy who is not speaking yet. When you speak to him you know he can understand you however he often will not attempt to look at adults or kids in the eye when they attempt to speak to him. He is being treated for autism but does a lack of eye contact contribute to autism or is it part of autism? If the boy i babysat could be taught to make eye contact would there be a better chance of him speaking?

This can't be how all children begin. What about children in cultures where eye contact is considered rude?

general loss of language. If someone was born without the ability to produce language is that also called aphasia?

brain language

developmental level indicator

zone of proximal development= What a child can accomplish liguistically on her own and with an adult. Developmental level is what the child can do specifically independently

listening, respong, and asking questions= language acquisition support system

trial and error.

I agree with the nurturist perspective because children learn and grow by interactions with things and people around them. Not ny being neglected and simply having an innate ability to learn everything on their own

preoperational stage: ages 2-7 children begin to represent the world with pictures and drawings

Object permanence: important step in childhood development.

Pretty general statement but i agree with it. I just think that there is more to learning language.

reading to children helps them understand language.

hypothesis testing= trial and error

LAD Language Acquisition Device The ability in the brain to acquire language

languages are beautiful and children should learn as many as possible because it's easier to learn them young than it is old

I don't completely agree with the nativist approach because a child who is never spoken to will never learn a language.

I believe that both nature and nurture play a role in child development. A child innately has a want or desire to learn to communicate but the ability that a child is able to do so depends somewhat on their home life. Parents especially play a big role in advancing their childrens language skills because they are the ones interacting with a child on a consistent daily basis and make decisions for the child.

checkmarks of understanding

rhyming games help indicate a childs metalinguistic phonlogical knowledge

written language tends to be more strict than oral language

listening is just as important as being able to communicate. receiving language= giving language

kindergarten and elementary years are the fundamental years. without the basics the student will fall behind more quickly and easily.

morphemes indicate plurality, past tense, future tense, singularity, possession, make comparisons. Morphemes can be used to indicate someones language proficiency. If someone can speak using morphemes correctly can mean that they are an effective language user.

morphemic= word structure -MORPHing words to create slightly different meanings and fit into different sentences

Syntactic= how to combine words to create meaningful expressions.<br> Syntactics= tactically combing words to create a phrase or meaningful sentence

Semantic= meaning of word

prosodic features do not rely on sound, they rely on emotion

Prosodic: when sounds add meaning Prosodic= pro(perties) of sounds used to add excitement, boredom, dread or turn a statement into a question

Phonological = Sound Use a phone to hear sounds

receptive language and expressive language work together

Can receptive language occur without words? If a child knows what something is and is called can they have mastered receptive language without actually being able to speak?
