Assignment: Language Development Informative Pamphlet

Teachers need to be able to distinguish between various theories of language acquisition. Understanding the processes involved, how and when the acquisition occurs, and what pace and degree help educators support language development in the classroom.

Create an informative pamphlet on language development for your fellow colleagues in either the Birth-Pre-K or K-3 classroom as a resource they can refer to throughout the year.

In your pamphlet, address the following:

Question A. Select two of the primary language acquisition theories (Skinner's behaviorism, Chomsky's nativist theory of language development, Functionalism, Piaget's theory, or Vygotsky's Socioculturalism), and explain how language develops and is acquired in childhood according to teach theory.

Question B. For each selected theory, discuss the roles of socialization and social engagement in language development.

Question C. Provide three activities teachers can implement in the classroom to model and reinforce language development.

Question D. Provide three specific instructional strategies or tools to support language development for English language learners.

Question E. Explain how the language development of young children affects their abilities in adolescence.

Your pamphlet should be organized logically and include a title, section headings, and visuals. Remember your audience and use appropriate tone and verbiage.
