What is language?

• Language is the process of exchanging of messages and


creating meaning.
• Language is part of culture. Language is also
intertwined with human biology.
Components of Language:
• Phonetics and Phonology: Study of speech sounds
• Morphology: Structure and formation of words
• Syntax: Rules for forming sentences
• Semantics: Meaning of words and sentences
• Pragmatics: Social use of language
Functions of Language
• Communication: Exchanging information and ideas
• Expression of Identity: Signifying cultural and social identity
• Social Interaction: Facilitating social relationships
• Cognitive Development: Supporting thought processes and
learning
Theories of Language Acquisition
• Behaviorist Theory (B.F. Skinner): Language learned through
reinforcement and imitation
• Nativist Theory (Noam Chomsky): Innate ability to acquire
language (Language Acquisition Device)
• Social Interactionist Theory (Lev Vygotsky): Emphasis on social
interaction and cultural context
• Cognitive Theory (Jean Piaget): Language as a part of overall
cognitive development
Stages of Language Development
• Pre-linguistic Stage: Cooing, babbling
• One-word (Holophrastic) Stage: Single words to convey whole
sentences
• Two-word Stage: Simple two-word sentences
• Telegraphic Speech: Short, simple sentences with essential words
• Beyond Telegraphic: Increasing complexity and grammatical structure
Factors Affecting Language

Learning
Biological Factors: Brain development, critical periods
• Environmental Factors: Exposure to language, social
interaction, cultural influences
• Individual Differences: Motivation, learning styles,
cognitive abilities
Role of Language in Education
• Cognitive Development: Language as a foundation for
thinking and learning
• Language Instruction Methods: Traditional vs. modern
approaches (e.g., immersion, communicative language
teaching)
• Bilingualism and Multilingualism: Cognitive benefits
and educational challenges
Challenges in Language Learning

• Language Disorders: Dyslexia, speech delays, other


impairments
• Second Language Acquisition: Adult language learning
challenges
• Socioeconomic and Cultural Barriers: Access to language
learning resources
Summary: Recap the key points:
• components of language
• Theories and stages of language development
• Factors influencing language learning
• Role of language in cognitive development and education
• Challenges faced in language learning
