This module introduces participants to a range of theories (cognitive, linguistic and social) that attempt to explain the processes and mechanisms of language development. There will be ample opportunity to explore evidence from research regarding current debates and issues of controversy in the field of language development, including grammar development, vocabulary acquisition, and language as a foundation for literacy learning. The module also addresses current research on different groups of language learners, including deaf children, bilingual children, and children with speech, language and communication needs.
