    Language can be written, spoken or signed. The age and pace at which children reach each milestone of language development differs significantly from child to child. Children start off by pointing at objects and speaking single words, for instance, 'that' or the first few letters of the word. Girls build up language at a faster rate than boys. Language development mirrors the development of the brain. A child who has difficulty in expressing himself/herself or who has a foreign language to the one being used find difficulty in managing his behavior since not being capable to express himself/herself through language tends to make him/her behave aggressively, throw tantrums and have outburst of anger for no explanation.…

    Through communication with the parents we can easily find out what languages the child is exposed to at home and whether both parents speak to the child in one language or whether they each speak a different language. We can also ask which language their child prefers to communicate in and how fluently or whether they mix the languages. We can also use this open communication to keep regularly updated about the child’s progress at home and in the setting. All this information gives us a better insight as to the child’s development and abilities.…

    Two toddlers were observed when I was on practicum. “M” is a two years old girl who is originally from Peru, speaks Spanish. “S” is three years old girl who is from China, but speaks Korean. They had been speaking their mother tongues before I was on practicum. However, although they are weak in speaking English, it could be seen that their language development was improving during my practicum. In the meantime, their other developmental aspects were developing rapidly and closely related, especially in cognitive development. Based on my practicum experience, this report will be discussing the progression of these two children in different developmental domains. Meanwhile, developmental theories and teaching strategies will be discussed and…

    Educators and psychologists will advice to introduce a second language when kids are under the age of 3. De Houwer, (1999) says “Brain imaging studies show that languages in bilingual infants are stored closer together in the brain than in later bilinguals. This means, learning another language after the age of 3 both takes greater effort and is treated differently by the brain compared to the child who acquires them simultaneously.” The earliest a child is exposed to a second language, the better. Contrary to what many parents think that their kids may get confused and end up not learning completely either language. For instance, there are cases of kids who were exposed to two languages and by the age of 6 they know very well both languages. And the people that learn a second language in an adult age, they are most likely to have an accent after several years of been speaking a foreigner language, and most likely they will have their accent for a lifetime.…
