MORE CLASSES VISIT www.ece315aid.com   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?

(Ash)   FOR MORE CLASSES VISIT www.ece315aid.com  
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.

funding that supports it has been a consistent
topic of debate since its conception. Given what
you have learned about the importance of
developmentally appropriate methodologies in
respect to learning and to the continued support
of preschool and early education programs, what
do you think of giving iPads to kindergartens or
having prom in preschool?

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. Given the ability of a kindergartner
and his/her language development, what kinds of
activities would be appropriate to support each
goal? Provide evidence supporting your activity
choices. If possible, recall your own personal
experience in kindergarten and relate activates
that enhanced your own language .

ECE 315 Week 4 DQ 2 Phonics Controversy
(Ash)   FOR MORE CLASSES VISIT www.ece315aid.com  
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. The controversy over whole
language and phonics has developed over the past
twenty years.
