"Reading, Specialist Language Development, And Video Games"
Some of the major components that has came to my attention was trajectory Approach, island of Expertise, and specialist language. It was interesting how this approach refers to early reading all the way back into the first grade. Most early reading, people would refer back to freshmen year in high school because that is where most people remember their major readings. Furthermore, this approach is giving a new perspective of not only looking forwards, but also backwards on how reading is developed. Island of expertise came as important because it gave an example of how a children can construct his language through interest and also adult experience with complex terms. By using dinosaurs as a way of improving a child's thinking would help them remember terms. Likewise I thought the term specialist language was important because children mostly learn vocaculary and terms by refining them at home and hearing them from their parents. So the mother reading the book to the child is a good practically way of teaching terms. Another term that is mention was a concept about native language and how it isn't developed in normal conditions. Language is not compared to skilled, but compared to the condition it is developed in. In a personal perspective i thought language dealt with skill because you have to grasp language fairly well enough and have the ability to retain it. One last subject that was brought up was children's popular culture. Never thought that yu gi ho and pokemon develop technical terms that help develop language. Seeing how it is an interest to most children and some teenagers, this is a different perspective in establishing a person's own language.
1. How does peer group interest develop language skills when cards contain fantasized facts on what a make up character can do?
2. Why is it affective referencing a child's experience to a complex term that helps younger children learn technical language?
3. If normal conditions are not affective enough to develop language, what kind of conditions can transform or construct a person's language?
