Language Acquisition Across North America
Author: Orlando L. Taylor
Publisher: Singular
ISBN:
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 376
Book Description
Using the rich linguistic and cultural diversity of North America as a context, this well-written text provides excellent examples of how unique cultural and linguistic attributes influence the language acquisition process in children. The editors discuss the fact that although acquisition of language is universal among the world's children, the precise developmental sequence is influenced by the socio-cultural context in which language is acquired. Emphasis is placed on the importance of studying different cultural groups and language to arrive at a better understanding of language development.

Culture and Language Development
Author: Elinor Ochs
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521344548
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
As children are learning to become competent members of their society, so also are they learning to become competent speakers of their language. In other words socialisation and language acquisition take place at the same time in a child's experience. In this book, Elinor Ochs explores the complex interaction of these two processes. Focusing in particular on the experiences of children in Samoa, Ochs examines both the cognitive and socio-cultural dimensions of children's language development. She shows that language competence includes not only knowledge of grammatical principles and sentence construction but also knowledge of the norms that link language to social and cognitive context; and that local social and cultural systems as well as children's individual psychological and biological capacities, organise their understanding and production of particular language constructions. This innovative study will appeal widely to anthropologists, developmental psychologists, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, communication specialists and educationists interested in child development and caregiver-child communication.

Language and Cultural Practices in Communities and Schools
Author: Inmaculada M. García-Sánchez
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 0429943776
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 266
Book Description
Drawing on sociocultural theories of learning, this book examines how the everyday language practices and cultural funds of knowledge of youth from non-dominant or minoritized groups can be used as centerpoints for classroom learning in ways that help all students both to sustain and expand their cultural and linguistic repertoires while developing skills that are valued in formal schooling. Bringing together a group of ethnographically grounded scholars working in diverse local contexts, this volume identifies how these language practices and cultural funds of knowledge can be used as generative points of continuity and productively expanded on in schools for successful and inclusive learning. Ideal for students and researchers in teaching, learning, language education, literacy, and multicultural education, as well as teachers at all stages of their career, this book contributes to research on culturally and linguistically sustaining practices by offering original teaching methods and a range of ways of connecting cultural competencies to learning across subject matters and disciplines.

Heritage Language Development
Author: Kimi Kondo-Brown
Publisher: John Benjamins Publishing
ISBN: 9027241430
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 293
Book Description
This collection of studies investigates the individual, micro-psychological, and macro-societal factors that promote or discourage the development of child and young adult heritage language learners' spoken and written skills in East Asian languages (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean). The research presented in this book is based on empirical data from various learning and social settings in the United States and Canada. The contributors are themselves mostly from East Asian immigrant backgrounds and have worked closely with students from such backgrounds. This book also speaks to the needs for future research within East Asian communities that will (a) promote East Asian heritage language development in applied linguistics, (b) encourage parental, community, and national support for East Asian heritage language development, and (c) improve the teaching of oral and written skills for heritage learners of East Asian languages in various educational settings.
