CSL 540 - Language And Literacy Acquisition
This course provides an exploration of early language and literacy development, and implications for instruction for young children (ages 2-6). How children learn to read and write will be analyzed from child development and emergent literacy perspectives. Developmentally appropriate teaching practices and family literacy partnerships will be discussed as methods to support children’s learning experiences. An analysis of the cognitive factors including: attention, memory, associative learning, and self-regulation will be studied as they relate to language and reading acquisition. The role of cognitive development and social interaction will be explored as complementary processes that work together to promote the child’s intellectual growth through the application of constructivist approaches. The cognitive processing predictors that lead to language and reading disorders will be studied as a means to early intervention.
