Description:

Language is one of the most important things that people learn, and children are able to speak in complex sentences before they can tie their shoes. How do children master this seemingly impossible task? In this course, we cover theories and research on these issues. We focus on language development in children who are learning English as their first language, with special consideration given to vocabulary development. We also consider other populations, including bilingual children and children with language difficulties. Prerequisites: Psych 100B, completion of a course in developmental psychology, linguistics, and/or speech and hearing sciences, and junior or senior standing.
