Marvellousnesses,
I will be with you as soon as I can (childcare issues) so
here’s what I’d like you to do:
Find the grammar test a few posts down and have a go. Let me
know how you did when I get there. Look up any of the terms/concepts you got
wrong and learn them.
Research Chomsky and/or Skinner and/or Bruner’s ideas about
how children acquire language – put a summary (you can use quotes in the
summary but some of it must be you paraphrasing what is said) of what some
different articles (not summary sites although you can whip through those first
to get an overview) say about their ideas. You could use articles/chapters from newspapers or emagazine or Jstor etc. Put Harvard-referenced
bibliographies into your posts.
This work will help you develop your ideas about CLA theory
(including how to challenge the theories) and also prepare for the 'media text' element of you coursework
where you paraphrase linguistic ideas to make them suitable for non-specialists
(non-linguists).
See you soon.
