THE FIVE WAYS IN WHICH CHILDREN LEARN LANGUAGE
Research by British academics Judith Coupe O’Kane and Juliet Goldbart, who specialize in communication at Manchester Metropolitan University,
concluded that there are five fundamental principles of how children learn language:
1、 A child needs a reason to communicate.
2、A child begins to use language when she understands it is a better way to get what she wants.
3、A child learns language through meaningful interactions with an adult who is providing both appropriate models and appropriate content. This is NOT a passive process.
4、A child needs an adult to provide repetition and clarification in order for her to develop the ability to decode what is being said.
5、A child needs to develop cognitive and social skills alongside language skills in order to continue developing language.
