Discussion board
In Chapter 4, you read about 4 different language acquisition models. As teachers, you should be able to identify the different models of language acquisition (or how children develop as competent language learners) and what role educational professionals and family members play in this development.
For your discussion board post (150-200 words total; 10 points):
Pick a language acquisition model. Define/describe the model and identify the theorist most closely associated with the model. Explain why you chose this model to discuss.
According to your model, describe how language develops and how family members/educational professionals can help support language development with children who are struggling with learning language.
