h delayed development and fluency relate to the acquisition of writ
ten language knowledge. Explain how language development will a
ffect your methodologies in teaching.

ECE 315 Week 1 DQ 2 The Hum

an Brain (Ash)

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

ECE 315 Week 1 Journal (Ash)

inappropriate null settings?

ECE 315 Week 2 Applying Theoretical Perspective t

o Curriculum Content (Ash)
Applying Theoretical Perspective to Curriculum Content. Go to Min
dMeister and create a free account.
You will be creating a Mindmap to share with your classmates usin
g MindMeister. Your map will show the following theoretical persp
ectives: behaviorist, nativist, cognitive developmentalist, and intera
ctionist. Incorporate a brief overview of each into your Mindmap a
nd identify the theorist-researcher associated with each perspectiv
e. When this portion of your Mindmap is complete, share your Min
dmap with your classmates by exporting your file to the Doc Shari
ng forum.

ECE 315 Week 2 DQ 1 Second Language Acquisitio

n (Ash)

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, an
d aspects of language knowledge as the development of the first la
nguage (p.89). That acquisition can be enhanced in the early child
hood 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 strategi
es used by the teacher to address the needs of the non-native spea
king English students.

ECE 315 Week 2 DQ 2 Language Development in I

According to Otto (2010), During infancy and toddlerhood, childre
ns language competencies develop in five areas of language knowl
edge: phonetic, semantic, syntactic, morphemic and pragmatic (p.
126). Identify a minimum of two developmentally appropriate activ
ities for infants and two for toddlers that would enhance language
knowledge. Explain which area or areas of language knowledge the
activities support and the expected outcome of each. Share any ex
perience you are aware of that effected your own or your childs la
nguage acquisition as an infant or toddler.

ECE 315 Week 3 DQ 1 Language Development in P

reschoolers and Kindergarteners (Ash)
Language Development in Preschoolers and Kindergarteners. Read
Chapter 6, 7 and 8 of the class text, as well as the articles from Pro

sistent topic of debate since its conception.

ECE 315 Week 4 DQ 1 Kindergarten Curricular Goa

ECE 315 Week 4 DQ 2 Phonics Controversy (Ash)

Phonics Controversy. During the primary years, childrens language

development increases in amount and complexity. They are expos
ed to more direct instruction of phonetic, semantic, syntactic , mor
phemic and pragmatic knowledge. Some believe their natural devel
opment may be stinted by the regimented rote memorization of p
honics and the manipulation of language, while others believe a sy
stematic approach, such as phonics instruction, is the best way to i
ncrease language acquisition. The controversy over whole languag
e and phonics has developed over the past twenty years.
