Ashford ECE 624 Week 6 Discussion Fostering Language Development [CLO: 1]
Fostering Language Development [CLO: 1]. 1st Post Due by Day 3. “Language development is among the most important tasks of the first five years of a child's life” (Language Development, n.d.). In fact, language acquisition is a key component to learning across each domain of development. As early childhood educators, we are charged with the important task of not only fostering language development, but also of monitoring children’s progress, planning appropriate supports, and making accommodations when necessary. With the complexity of language acquisition and our varied roles within this system, it is imperative that we plan for, and acquire strategies to effectively promote language development in our students. As more and more children are diagnosed each year with speech delays and our population of English Language Learners is growing, we must come to our educational settings ready to confront this important domain of development. For this discussion you will choose a specific age-range (0-2, 3-5, 6-8), as well as which area of language development you would like to research and plan for. Choose from the options below:
• Children with speech delays
• English Language Learner (ELL)
Initial Post: Once you have decided upon the specific area of language for your focus, you will create a fact sheet to be used within your education setting. To create your fact sheet you will need to do the following:
•
o Locate one recent (within five years) scholarly article with research-based strategies for fostering language development in an early childhood classroom.
o Using both the article and your textbook, you will create a fact sheet that can be used as a guide in a classroom or school. Your fact sheet should be no more than two pages in length and should include the following:
o Thelanguagemilestonesfortheagerangeyouchose(Table2.1fromyourcoursetext).
