A-Level Language computer room lesson Fri 16 (A-Block) and Mon 19 (E-Block)

Linguistics,

Research the stages of CLA (starting with cooing, babbling, holophrastic...) and blog a summary, citing your sources (use more than one).

Research one of the following ideas about how children learn/use language (I will assign you one) and post your research and your sources (use three or more reputable sources). Print out info for next lesson - you will be working in groups to present a summary.

Chomsky's LAD/nativism theory
Skinner's operant conditioning/behavioural theory for how children learn language
Lenneberg's critical period hypothesis
Bruner's interactionist theory
Vygotski's zone of proximal development


Ensure you have a summary overview, quotes, examples, criticisms of the theory and anything else that will enhance learning about the idea/theorist.
