ReplyDeleteChildren are brilliant learners and grasp readily if taught in their mother tongue
ReplyDeleteYes. Children are smart enough to grasp the information and read it. For this they should first be taught in their mother tongue and then other languages
ReplyDeleteAmerican-born linguist Noam Chomsky believes that we are born with a predisposition to learn language. Research shows that children outclass adults in their ability to unconsciously learn new language rules, which means through passive exposure without awareness as to what they are learning.
ReplyDeleteThe development of communication through language is an instinctive process. Language is our most common means of interacting with one another, and children begin the process naturally. Neurobiologist Dr. Lise Eliot writes: “the reason language is instinctive is because it is, to a large extent, hard-wired in the brain. Just as we evolve neural circuits for eating and seeing, so has our brain, together with a sophisticated vocal apparatus, evolved a complex neural circuit for rapidly perceiving, analyzing, composing, and producing language” (Eliot, 1999).
The development of language is tremendously influenced by parent-child interactions. In the first year, it is important to talk, sing, and read to the baby often so he can learn the sounds of his native language.In addition to learning the sounds of speech, during the first six months a child’s brain begins to learn which mouth movements go with the sounds. That is the reason it is important to have lots of face-to-face conversations with the baby as the parent interprets the world around him..

Language acts as a weapon or an equipment for the child to begin with his learning
ReplyDeleteChildren indeed have a natural inclination for learning language, and it's a fundamental aspect of their cognitive development. Language acquisition is a complex process that involves multiple factors, including biology, environment, and social interaction.
ReplyDelete_Innate ability_: Children are born with an innate ability to learn language, which is often referred to as the "language acquisition device" (LAD). This innate ability allows them to recognize and mimic the sounds, rhythms, and patterns of language from a very early age.
_Brain development_: Language development is closely tied to brain development, particularly in areas such as Broca's area and Wernicke's area. As children's brains mature, they become more adept at processing and understanding language.
_Environmental influences_: Children learn language by interacting with their environment, including their caregivers, family members, and community. They pick up on the sounds, words, and grammar of the language through imitation, repetition, and feedback.
_Social interaction_: Language learning is a social process that involves interaction with others. Children learn to communicate effectively by engaging in conversations, playing games, and participating in activities that promote language use.
Learning through the medium of language is also a natural process for children. Language is a powerful tool that enables them to:
_Express themselves_: Children use language to communicate their thoughts, feelings, and needs.
_Understand the world_: Language helps children make sense of their environment, understand concepts, and develop cognitive skills.
_Build relationships_: Language is essential for building and maintaining relationships with others, including family members, friends, and teachers.
In the context of education, language plays a critical role in learning and development. Children learn new concepts, skills, and subjects through language, and it's the primary medium through which they interact with teachers, peers, and educational materials.
To support children's language development and learning, educators and caregivers can:
_Provide a language-rich environment_: Expose children to a variety of languages, dialects, and linguistic styles.
_Encourage language use_: Engage children in conversations, read with them, and encourage them to express themselves through language.
_Make language learning fun_: Use games, songs, and activities that promote language development and make learning enjoyable.
By recognizing the importance of language in children's learning and development, we can create supportive environments that foster their natural inclination for language acquisition and promote a lifelong love of learning.
