Review the Language Acquisition in Early Childhood Education interactive game, which focuses on language developmental stages and cognitive processes.  Write three questions you can ask your classmates that would help to evaluate their knowledge of the developmental milestones and brain development stages, and how they influence on language development and acquisition.  These questions should be focused on the main concepts in Chapters 5 and 6.  You can see several examples of types of questions in the interactive Jeopardy game.  The solutions to your questions should be able to be located within Chapters 5 or 6 in the course textbook.  Post your three questions, but do not include the solutions to these in your original post.

We have learned in Chapters 5 and 6 that we are able to understand children’s language development stages by observing their processes and interactions. Preview the three videos listed below from Chapter 6 of your text, which are focused on children’s language interactions. The children shown are in various stages of language development.   Choose one of the three videos to conduct an observation and identify the child’s language development stage.

• Precursors to Language, retrieved from Section 6.1 of your text.
• Babbling, retrieved from Section 6.2 of your text.
• Assessing Cognitive and Language Development, retrieved from the Conclusion section in Chapter 6 of your text.

Write your observations of the child, which should support your conclusion of developmental stage. Support your responses with the evidence from the textbook.

The subject line of your discussion should be the title of the video that you watched. Be sure to include a minimum of a 250-word response using your observations and a minimum of one source to support your claims. Your reference(s) should appear at the end of your discussion and be formatted according to APA.

There are many specific communication disorders explained in Chapter 8, all of which fall under either Speech Disorder or Language Disorder.

Choose one of the many communication disorders from the chapter and explain the main components of this disorder under the correct broad heading: Speech Disorder or Language Disorder.  Prepare a fact sheet that includes the following:

• Disorder name and summary of the main characteristics
• Explanation of what children go through
• Strategies to help support children in the classroom
• Idea or best practice for supporting families,
• Include a resource that you could share with families that explains more about the disorder.

Your original response should be a minimum of 300 words and include support from the textbook and one outside source that you could share with families.  Be sure to include a reference at the end of your fact sheet in APA format.

Plan to spend about 30 minutes to an hour in a preschool setting.  A good time to observe would be during circle time, independent learning time, or during free choice time.  If this is not an option, please view the video, Five Basic Functions of Language, found in Chapter 7 of your text.

Describe the interactions and the language experiences that are taking place in the social setting.  Refer to Chapter 7 for various examples of ways this can be seen in the classroom.  Record your observations in a professional manner, maintaining the confidentiality of the site and the teachers’ and students’ real names.  Use your observations to write an analysis of the language experiences that were observed.

In your discussion post, be sure to include your actual observation notes as well as a 150- to 250-word analysis that is supported by reference(s) to the textbook.

For your analysis, discuss:

• What experiences support language acquisition?
• What experiences/interactions need refinement?

You will rely on the information you have gained thus far, as well as your insights, to evaluate the above questions.  Be sure to format all in-text citations and reference(s) in APA style.
