Question 1
Discuss the role played by the environment in the language acquisition and relate it to
Vygotsky’s theory using the LC guide in your discussion.
a. Language Development and culture
Levy Vygotsky has particularly reowened for his standpoint that thinking and
learning are not sorely internal processes but are highly influenced by social
interaction and culture. Learning is more the product of social interaction and
cultural influences.
b. Scaffolding – collaborative learning is the idea that conversations with older
people can help children, both cognitively and linguistically. Adults always
provide support to children be it at home or schools. Things that they learn on an
everyday basis and also at school new things are learned every day.

- It shows the child development that they use starting to see alphabets they
connect them, they also understand how it is read from left to right it shows that
the children are becoming literate that they understand that word have meanings,
it shows if a child will have difficulty in reading.
b. What would you do as a teacher to promote print awareness and provide.
- Practicing alphabets and reading is the best way to promote print awareness.
- In my class we will have reading time, I would read then they follow and each
and every child would follow to show that they are aware of the print and to also
point where you are reading.
Question 4
- What do you understand about language acquisition? Based on the theories you
have acquired, which one do you think its best describe language acquisition?
o Is when a child respond to what you are teaching them they learn if something is
good or bad from what you say or do then they copy it? I think the cognition
theory played noted the cognitive stages at which children are able to acquire
lost knowledge and language acquisition is at its fastest during those ages of 2
and 3 years that is where you can see language acquisition at its best, they
capture and learn different things fast, it is where language-ron environment can
assist children to develop a broad vocabulary and opportunities to talk about
what they see.

skills because she is using fingers to point and cut.

the picture is really what she says if it’s a burning building where to the building
and which parts is burning where is the fire that you say a third person must see
before you can even explain.
c. Briefly relate what is happening to any language acquisition theory that you have
learnt.
- The ability to figure out the grammatical aspects of their native languages,
irrespective of its complexity.
- They maintain that if children can understand language input and manage to
produce language output shows that is present Cindy was able to understand
that the building had to be in the picture and it also has to show where it is
burning without the teacher asking.

remained silent when given the instructions which means they know that when
you are given an instruction you must listen attentively, the cognitivism theory
also because it has improved the language structure of the children.

were happy that the activity is over.

instructions and they all created cards that look alike to show that they were all
listening.

that I wanted is done and it can also be used to check the learners overall
participation and what they know.
