Language   Knowledge Article

 Chapter 1 explains the attributes of language and the process of language acquisition in young children.  Since this is such a crucial component to support language acquisition, it is important that we understand this fully.  As teachers, we also serve as information resources for parents.  Choose one of the following topics and write a short 250- to 350-word article for a parent newsletter: Language Attributes  Process of Language Acquisition  Language and Communication 

Your article should focus on helping parents understand the process of language acquisition in an informative, yet parent-friendly manner.  Be sure to support your ideas with a reference to the textbook and at least one outside source cited in APA format.  Construct your initial post for this discussion as if parents were your audience.
 

Guided Response:  Review at least two of your classmates’ articles.  Give them one specific compliment on their article and two specific facts or activities that they could add to their article to help parents understand the process of language acquisition.
