Q

Know modifications instructors can make to content to assist ELL students

A

1.Target both language objectives and content objectives in all lessons

Q

Know reasons that bilingual individuals code switch

A

-1. To fill lexical or grammatical gaps
*Code switch more when using their less proficient language
*May code switch to draw on the strengths in their more proficient language when they lack grammar or vocabulary in their less proficient language
*Code switch more when they don’t know a translation equivalent for a word, regardless if using more/less proficient language

-2.For pragmatic effect
*Emphasize importance of what they’re saying
*To convey emotion
*To quote what someone else said in another language
-3. According to social norms of their community
*Children learn to follow the code switching patterns of the adults who surround them

Q

Know what research states about instruction for English language learners

A

1.Teaching students to read in their L1 promotes higher levels of reading achievement in English

2.Principles of good instruction and curriculum for ELL students mirror principles of good instruction and curriculum for all students

3.When instructing ELL students in English, teachers must modify instruction in an effort to address students’ language limitations

25
Q

lexical entry

A

collection of all the words in the language, “mental dictionary”

26
Q

phonetically consistent form

A

wordlike productions children use consistently and meaningfully but do not approximate adult forms

27
Q

transitional period

A

children adding conventional spelling rules and patterns to phonetics

28
Q

referential gesture

A

indicate a precise referent and has stable meaning across different contexts (waving bye)

29
Q

deictic gesture

A

meanings change depending on the context (pointing, showing)

30
Q

phonological processes

A

systematic, rule governed patterns that characterize toddlers speech; ex- reduplication, assimilation, fronting

31
Q

assimilation

A

process by which children change one sound in a syllable so it takes on the features of another sound in the same syllable (dog becomes gog)

32
Q

fronting

A

replacing sounds produced farther back in the mouth with sounds produced farther forward in mouth (cake becomes take)

33
Q

customary age of production

A

age by which 50% of children can produce a given sound in multiple positions in words in an adultlike why

34
Q

age of mastery

A

age by which most children produce a sound in an adultlike manner

35
Q

grammatical morphemes

A

inflections we add to words to indicate aspects of grammar (plural -s, possessive ‘s, past tense -ed, present progressive -ing)

36
Q

MLU

A

calculation of the number of morphemes per utterance used to estimate the syntactic complexity of children’s utterances

37
Q

conventionality

A

for children to communicate successfully, they must adopt the terms that people in their language community understand(blankie/blanket)

38
Q

fast mapping

A

type of task in which the rate at which children map a new word to its referent is determined

39
Q

overextension

A

three types(categorical, analogical, relational); ex- calling all four-legged animals a dog after learning the word dog

40
Q

underextension

A

toddlers use words to refer to only a subset of possible referents

41
Q

overlap

A

toddlers overextend a word in certain circumstances and underextend the same word in other circumstances

42
Q

ecological validity

A

extent to which the data resulting from an assessment or an evaluation can be extended to multiple contexts, including childs home and daycare settings

43
Q

phonology

A

rules of lang governing the sounds used to make syllables and words

44
Q

morphology

A

rules of lang governing the internal organization of words

45
Q

syntax

A

rules of lang governing internal organization of sentences

46
Q

semantics

A

rules of lang governing the meaning of individual words and word combinations

47
Q

pragmatics

A

rules of lang governing how lang is used for social purposes

48
Q

phonological awareness

A

ability to focus on the sounds that make up syllables and words through implicit or explicit analysis

49
Q

Know what is meant by The Quinean Conundrum

A

-the uncertainty surrounding the mapping of a word to its referent in the face of seemingly endless interpretations
-if someone mumbled something random around a rabbit would you use that word to refer to a rabbit

50
Q

know what a false belief task assesses and explain how it works

A

-A false belief task is commonly used in child development research to assess social understanding or theory of mind. A wide variety of these have been developed using common play materials and story themes that children feel comfortable with.
-ask the subject to anticipate how another person will respond to a scenario when the other person has different knowledge than the subject.

51
Q

major achievements in language form

A

-Phonology(begin to acquire and refine speech sounds/phonemes; phonological processes dropped by age 3)- p, m, h, n, w, b
-Morphology(50 words for productive vocab usually reached between 18 months and 2 years, appearance of first grammatical morphemes around 18-24 mo, not mastered until preschool),
-Syntax(begin to combine words to create multiword utterances; use lang for many communicative functions; use variety of sentence types- yes/no q’s, WH q’s, commands, negatives; toddlerhood marks true beginning of syntax; recognize value of combining words over using single words)

52
Q

major achievements in language content

A

-Semantics(large gains in both expressive and receptive factors, use social cues to understand what a speaker is referring to, acquisition of thematic roles, vocab spurt between 18-24 mo-once they hit 50 words- learning 7-9 words per day

53
Q

major achievements in language use

A

-Pragmatics(toddlers obtain important discourse functions and conversation skills, using communication for a variety of pragmatic functions-one of most important aspects of toddler development, poor at conversations, difficulty keeping partners needs in mind, not able to sustain for more than 2 turns)

54
Q

Know intraindividual and interindividual language differences among toddlers

A

-Intraindividual:
*Language development is not linear
*Series of spurts and plateaus
*Language comprehension precedes language production
*Size of receptive lexicon is typically larger than expressive lexicon
-Interindividual:
*Effects of gender
*Boys comprehend and produce fewer words than girls
*May be due to differences in maturation rates in connection with neurological development
*Parents may interact differently with boys and girls
*Effects of birth order
*First born children have more advanced vocabulary and grammar development
*First born receive more one-on-one attention (greater quantity of CDS)
*First born children experience language that is qualitatively different than later born
*Later born children have more advanced conversational skills
*Later born children receive input from older siblings

*Effects of socioeconomic status and parental education
*Toddlers from lower SES backgrounds (mom’s level of education) have shorter MLUs and use fewer words than toddlers from higher SES backgrounds
*Researchers suspect parents’ SES is related to the amount and complexity of speech parents use with their children

55
Q

Know how researchers and clinicians measure language development in toddlers

A

-screenings: common early language milestones
-comprehensive evaluations: structured, standardized, norm referneced (CELF-P2)
-progress monitoring: Individual Growth and Development for Infants and Toddlers (IGDI)

56
Q

Know what the researcher Roger Brown’s achievements are in child language development

A

-longitudinal observations of children with the pseudonyms Adam, Eve, and Sarah.
-childrens earliest utterances containing forms of the verb to be(am, is, are, was, were, it’s)
-founder of developmental psycholinguistics
- pioneer in the study of how children acquire language
-Brown’s stages of lang development
-MLU

57
Q

Know the differences between language screenings and comprehensive evaluations

A

-screenings: uses common early language milestones
-Comprehensive evaluations: structured, standardized, norm referenced

58
Q

Know rules for counting morphemes when calculating MLU

A

50 utterances
Don’t count fillers
Count proper names, compound words, and ritualized reduplications as a single word
Count catenatives(gonna, wanna) as a single word
But count auxiliaries(is, have) as separate morphemes
