CLA - FRAMEWORKS + OTHER

Question 1

ORTHOGRAPHY

Answer 1

• gentry : came up with the spelling stages
  1. pre communicative : random writing, repetition of familiar letters and no letter to sound connection
  2. semi - phonetic : random spaces in writing, some letter to sound connection and partial mapping of words
  3. phonetic spelling : spelling is based on the sound of words , vowels are omitted if not heard
  4. transitional : combine visual and phonetic approaches , reverse letters and use inflectional endings

other :
- insertion
- salient sounds - pick up on the strongest sounds in words

Question 2

MORPHOLOGY

Answer 2

• inflectional morphology - adding small morphemes to the end of words to show tense, number or possession
• derevational morphology - adding morphemes to change the world class or meanings
• omission of bound morpheme - leave off the endings
• reduplication
• substitution

Question 3

SYNTAX / GRAMMAR

Answer 3

• types of sentences ( complex, compound etc and interrogative , exclamatory etc. )
• shift from parataxis to hypotaxis

Question 4

PRGAMATICS / DISCOURSE

Answer 4

• turn - taking
• topic maintenance and topic shifts
• politeness strategies
• deixis

Question 5

ENVIRONMENTAL PRINT

Answer 5

1. supports early literacy development - recognise letters and words
2. builds vocab and word meaning links ( semantic association ) - see written words with real life objects
3. motivation and engagement - imitate environmental print

Question 6

LEXIS

Answer 6

• monosyllabic lexis
• more complex lexical choices
• subject-specfic lexis

Question 7

SENTENCE STARTERS

Answer 7

1. The child’s use of ( feature ) showcases their developing awareness of ( linguistic concept ) which is supported by ( theorist ) who makes claims about ( stages / other features )
2. This feature reflects ( frameworks ) which indicates a child’s progression from ( stage to stage ) in line with ( theorists model / concept )
3. The frequent use of ( feature ) indicates the child is internalising structural elements of english which is consistent with ( theorist / concept )

FOR CONCLUSION :
- Ultimately , language acquistion is not necessarily linear or a universal process. Rather it is co constructed by the elements of cognitive readiness, environmental exposure , and interaction, all of which are shaped by the child’s evolving control over linguistic forms

Question 8

STRUCTURE OF ANSWER

Answer 8

1. INTRO
   - talk about if it is written or spoken acquistion
   - comment on how there are multiple interacting influences
   - pragmatics / discourse - purpose of writing - mention rothery or britton model
   - nature vs nurture or other relevant theories
2. PARAGRAPH - INTERACTION AND SOCIAL INPUT
   - introduce theory - bruner or vygotsky
   - framework - talk about lexis etc and the relevant key words - cds, LASS, zpd, MKO, private speech etc
   - evaluate it - predictable lang envrionment - link contexts and words
3. PARAGRAPH - COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT
   - introduce theory - piaget or tomasello
   - frameworks - syntax, pragmatics, morphology etc
   - evaluate it - counter examples like genie
4. PARAGRAPH - GRAMER AND STRCUTURE
   - introduce theory - barclay, clay, kroll, halliday OR stages of dev
   - frameworks - acquistion so any relevant stages and the cohesion of them
   - evaluate in terms of maturing linguistic abilities
5. ENVRIONMENT ETC
   - theory - talk about socioeconomic background, digital influence / exposure, environmental print ( rich vs poor )
   - frameworks - lexical diversity, code switching etc
   - evaluate compared to universality

Question 9

SOPHISTICATED LANG

Answer 9

• sometimes - intermittently , sparadic intervals
• mistakes - erroneous or deviates
• wrong - non standard or irregular
• changes - modulates, transitions, module reorientation
• uses - operationalises , mobilises
• starts - tentatively begins
• simple - reduinmentary , lexical minimalisation
• good - developmentally appropriate
• writing - orthographic output
• gets better - exhibits developmental trajectory
