Overview
Context of Language development in early childhood - Exploring the quality of interactions with adults and peers project at University of Dundee
A connection between a child’s early language development and the learning environment is well established. What is less clear is how specific environments and experiences affect the linguistic skills of young children with resulting effects on their later conceptual understanding and language use.
It is envisaged that the project would investigate these emerging skills in the context of play among children developing typically or atypically due to factors such as neurodiversity or socio-economic status.
Programme Structure
- The focus of interest will be determined through discussion with the student, but possible topics would include: gestures, shared reading, digital technology/personalised books/songs, linguistic variation, late talkers, question use, morphological development or self-regulation.
