English Language A Level CLA Quiz Questions and Answers
Applying knowledge - Correct AnswerConsider implications - what is older person
trying to initiate/convey
- trying to tell child importance of something - pragmatics
- trying to ensure child is listening
- instigate a response
Engage with child's use
- discuss what they're trying to state
- awareness of any language features (morphology, syntax etc.)
- what do they not yet include (any omissions) so what stage are they at and are
they advanced
- anything paralinguistic to communicate instead of lang.
Noam Chomsky - Correct Answer1960s, Language Acquisition Device - born with
an inherited ability to learn any human lang. LAD encodes major principles of a
lang. and its grand structures into the brain. Can't learn through imitation alone
because the lang. spoken around them is highly irregular, often broken up,
ungrammatical
Support for LAD - Correct Answer- children learning to speak never make
grammatical errors like wrong order of SVO
- child notices adult's grammatically incorrect sentence
- virtuous errors show they're not learning through imitation alone
Against LAD - Correct Answeralthough it's clear that children don't learn lang.
through imitation alone, it doesn't prove that they must have an LAD. Could
merely be through general learning and understanding abilities and interactions
with other people
Bruner - Correct Answer1970s Language Acquisition Support System - caregivers
support child's linguistic development in social situations. Clear patterns of
interaction between child and caregiver in everyday situations (meal/bath time).
, - Caregiver points things out and asks questions ("what's that? Is that a doggy?"),
through this support child gradually asks questions themselves
Meredith Rowe - Correct Answerthere's a window of opportunity when children
are just getting into their productive communication, 10-18 months - predicts
their language ability very strongly later
- strong link between gestures and the ability to pick up vocab, gets child engaged
and interacting
Dr Caspar Addyman - Correct Answerbabies can hear and remember music even
when in the womb
- prefer consonance over dissonance
- prefer female voice, especially with "motherese" (high-energy singsgong tone)
- prefer plosive sounds
- can remember the tempo and timbre of music they've heard before
-> physiological response, makes them happy and can lead to anticipation and
surprise with changes in music
Eric Lenneburg - Correct Answer1967 ability to acquire language is biologically
linked to age - language has to be acquired during a critical period of the first few
years where they're presented with adequate stimuli, if language input does not
occur until after this time grammatical fluency is never achieved
Lev Vygotsky - Correct Answersocial interaction:
Private Speech: when a child talks aloud to itself, evidence that it is thinking to
itself
Zone of proximal development: distance between actual independent
developmental level and the level of potential development
- when someone is in the ZPD, appropriate assistance will give them a boost
Wood et al. - Correct Answer1976 Scaffolding - built on ZPD:
once task principally beyond learner's capacity is mastered with support of
scaffolding, it can then be removed and they will then be able to complete the
task again on their own
Mekler et. al - Correct Answer1988 language used in utterances affects the
newborn's responses - they use prosodic and rhythmic features to process lang
