Language Development in Preschoolers and

Oral/Written Language. Consider the five aspects
of language knowledge and explain how their
development contributes to a childs success in
school, at home and in social situations. Discuss
how both delayed development and fluency relate
to the acquisition of written language knowledge.
Explain how language development will affect your
methodologies in teaching.

ASHFORD ECE 315 Week 1 Journal
ASHFORD ECE 315 Week 1 DQ 2 The Human Brain
  Journal. In a home, community or social setting
refrain from verbal communication for a set
amount of time. All communication must be
completed with nonverbal interaction. Use eye
contact, shared references and gestures to
communicate with others. Share the experience in
detail in your journal entry and relate how lack
of oral language development affected your
ability to communicate. Make sure you include the
actions and reactions of those involved. How does
the experience relate to a childs language
development? What did you learn from the
experience? What was the most difficult part?

• The Human Brain. Read Chapter 2 of the class
  text. Our text states, The human brain appears
  to be prewired for the development of language
  (nature) and It is only through interaction in
  the environment that language is acquired
  (nurture). In what ways does brain development
  research document the influence of both nature
  and nurture on language development? Which do you
  think is more crucial to language development and
  acquisition? Why?

Perspective to Curriculum Content
ASHFORD ECE 315 Week 2 DQ 1 Second Language
Acquisition

• Applying Theoretical Perspective to Curriculum
  Content. Go to MindMeister and create a free
  account.
• You will be creating a Mindmap to share with your
  classmates using MindMeister. Your map will show
  the following theoretical perspectives
  behaviorist, nativist, cognitive
  developmentalist, and interactionist. Incorporate
  a brief overview of each into your Mindmap and
  identify the theorist-researcher associated with
  each perspective. When this portion of your
  Mindmap is complete, share your Mindmap with your
  classmates by exporting your file to the Doc
  Sharing forum. For instructions on using the Doc
  Sharing feature, please see the document in the
  online classroom.

Second Language Acquisition. Read Chapter 3 of
the class text and any recommended readings.
According to Otto (2010), Acquisition of a
second language involves the same processes,
interactions, and aspects of language knowledge
as the development of the first language (p.89).
That acquisition can be enhanced in the early
childhood education. Taking into consider how
acquisition of linguistic diversity can be
enhanced, view the video Wendehack Video 2
(http//teachertube.com/viewVideo.php?) and
identify the strategies used by the teacher to
address the needs of the non-native speaking
English students.

ASHFORD ECE 315 Week 2 DQ 2 Language Development
in Infants and Toddlers
ASHFORD ECE 315 Week 3 DQ 1 Language Development
in Preschoolers and Kindergarteners
  Language Development in Preschoolers and
Kindergarteners. Read Chapter 6, 7 and 8 of the
class text, as well as the articles from
ProQuest. Language knowledge develops during the
preschool years to prepare students for success
in kindergarten and beyond. Preschool education
and the government funding that supports it has
been a consistent topic of debate since its
conception.
Language Development in Infants and Toddlers.
Read Chapters 4 and 5 of the class text and
explore the recommended websites PBS Parents
http//www.pbs.org/parents/ Babysigns
https//www.babysigns.com/index.cfm?id72
According to Otto (2010), During infancy and
toddlerhood, childrens language competencies
develop in five areas of language knowledge
phonetic, semantic, syntactic, morphemic and
pragmatic (p.126). Identify a minimum of two
developmentally appropriate activities for
infants and two for toddlers that would enhance
language knowledge.

ASHFORD ECE 315 Week 3 DQ 2 Early Literacy
ASHFORD ECE 315 Week 3 Final Paper Rough Draft
  Final Paper Rough Draft. Submit a brief outline
of the following a. Strategies and methods you
will be presenting in your final project. b. The
theoretical perspective you will use to support
your choices. c. The curriculum content you will
be using to incorporate your chosen methods. d.
Modifications for students learning a second
language and for students with special needs.

• Early Literacy. Read Chapter 8 of the class text
  and watch a minimum of three videos available
  from the ReadingRockets website
  (http//www.readingrockets.org/podcasts/earlylit).
  
• Identify the videos you watched and provide a
  brief synopsis of your favorite. Discuss the
  methods and strategies that were used or
  presented in the video. Identify the curriculum
  presented that supported language acquisition and
  explain how they are developmentally appropriate.
  How do they address the five aspects of language?

ASHFORD ECE 315 Week 4 DQ 1 Kindergarten
Curricular Goals
ASHFORD ECE 315 Week 4 DQ 2 Phonics Controversy
  Phonics Controversy. During the primary years,
childrens language development increases in
amount and complexity. They are exposed to more
direct instruction of phonetic, semantic,
syntactic , morphemic and pragmatic knowledge.
Some believe their natural development may be
stinted by the regimented rote memorization of
phonics and the manipulation of language, while
others believe a systematic approach, such as
phonics instruction, is the best way to increase
language acquisition.

• Kindergarten Curricular Goals. On page 261 of our
  text, Otto (2010) lists the following five
  curricular goals
• 1. Increase childrens ability to communicate
  orally in instructional and conversational
  settings.
• 2. Encourage an awareness of the purposes of
  reading and writing.
• 3. Increase vocabulary through conceptual
  development.
• 4. Increase listening comprehension.
• 5. Increase childrens awareness of the process
  of communicating by using written language.

ASHFORD ECE 315 Week 5 Developmental Curriculum
Paper
ASHFORD ECE 315 Week 5 DQ 1 Assessment Referrals
Assessment Referrals. What considerations must be
made before making a referral for additional
assessment in determining whether a student has a
communication disorder or not? What do you
believe are two strengths of observational
assessment? What are the limitations? As a
teacher, would you prefer to use a checklist for
assessment or an anecdotal record? Why? Your
initial post should be at least 150 words in
length. Support your claims with evidence from
the text, and properly cite any references.
Respond to at least two of your classmates
postings

• Developmental Curriculum Paper
• Your final assignment for ECE315 will be to
  develop curriculum content that implements
  strategies and methods that enhance language
  acquisition. Select a specific developmental
  level for your unit of study. In a narrative
  format, you will identify and discuss the topic
  areas listed below, referencing your textbook and
  three additional scholarly resources.
• 1. Grade or developmental level being addressed
• 2. Strategies and methods
