Learning Goal: I’m working on a education & teaching discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.
Question #1:
What factors affect verbal language learning? Consider typical language development and atypical language development. Provide cited examples from your readings.
Question #2:
Luis is 11-years-old and was born in Dallas, Texas. Spanish is the primary language used in his home and neighborhood. Although Luis has been in school for a while, he does not have a literary foundation in his first language, but is motivated to learn English. LuisΓ’β¬β’s family encourages him to learn English and his teacher reports that he is motivated to learn and has a confident personality.
