Child Language Acquisition Revision Notes

Child Language Acquisition Revision Notes

(0)
A complete set of notes for child language acquisition full of theorists, linguists, facts, stats, examples, application and more. I used these notes only alongside practice questions to achieve an A* in 2017. Why they work: Easy to learn, concise, bullet point revision notes Show different lines of arguments that can be used to ‘evaluate’ an idea which is crucial to enter the top bands Omitted endless details on methodology and results Replaced these with meaningful comments on each study to form the basis of your argument in the exam (crucial to enter top bands!) Summary sheet includes: The stages of acquisition Different things to pick out in a transcript given in the exam & what to say about them Nativist approach Constructivists Nurture approach Cognitive approach Notes for written & multi modal language acquisition Full revision for Paper 1 Model essays for all topics in A Level English Language, including child language Check out my shop for more: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/astarlevels
