Knowledge of Linguistics and Its Impact on Understanding the Teaching of Language
[ send me this paper ]
This 12 page report discusses both linguistics and language and the ways in which they interact for a language teacher. Because language is one of the most unique factors of human interaction, even the very process of being human, its study deserves to be thought of as a key component of understanding human cognition, personal relationships, and how society develops. It also offers a great deal of opportunities to those who teach language and the tools of language. The practice of linguistics is intimately woven into the teaching of language. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Language Acquisition
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper. Until the late 1950s, it was traditionally believed that an infant acquired language from the parent or caregiver, specifically, it was believed that infants simply mimicked the sounds that they heard from parents and other caregivers. In 1957, A. Noam Chomsky offered a different perspective. Language acquisition was innate, according to Chomsky. This essay explains Chomsky's concepts of Universal Grammar and the Language Acquisition Device and how he came to make these conclusions. The difference between acquisition and learning is explained. Finally, the need to bring in Piaget's theories to explain all of language acquisition is explored. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Language Acquisition and Reading
[ send me this paper ]
This 4 page report discusses how a child acquires
language and then applies that understanding to the processes of learning to read. The processes
associated with acquiring language involves a number of considerations that range from what a
child hears, how his or her parents interacts with him/her, even historical context plays a role in
the child’s language development. Reading is significantly more than a visual process. Instead, it
is primarily a verbal, semantic, and language-based process than a visual process. It relies on the
processes associated with understanding language, using language, and defining the meanings
associated with language. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Language Acquisition/Consequences of Deprivation
[ send me this paper ]
A 14 page research paper that examines research that pertains to the acquisition of language and the consequences of deprivation. The writer first of all examines the theories of Lenneberg, concerning a sensitive period in speech acquisition, and Chomsky, concerning innate brain structure, in regards to language acquisition and then applies these to the evidence offered by deficits in language skills in feral and abused children who have suffered from linguistic deprivation. The writer argues that examination of the literature shows that the work of Lenneberg and Chomsky is verified by the evidence offered by observations of feral children, that is, children who have missed the sensitive period for language and, therefore, cannot learn language above a rudimentary level. Bibliography lists 11 sources.
