Morning all
Today you will be researching theories to further your understanding of Child Language Acquisition. You hould already have a firm understanding of the stages of development, and with this knowledge you can identify what stage a child is in just from a few lines of dialogue. The next step is to analyse this, which you need an understanding of the 4 main theories to do.
First things first, if you missed Thursday's lesson then you also missed watching the very important documentary, BBC Horizon - Why Do We Talk? which includes vital context that you'll need t remember for future essays, so could you spend today watching that please. Click here to access the documentary.
Those of you who were present, you will be using the format of the sheet I gave you on Thursday which outlined all the different theories we will be using. Research each theory and note down its characteristics in detail so that you understand it. Then, with your developed understanding of each theory and based on your research, comment on why this theory makes sense and then comment on what problems there are with this theory.
Plenty to be getting on with! See me if stuck.
