The Communicative Competence of Young Children
How children first acquire language is one of the central issues in linguistics. This book draws on a wide range of research, including work in developmental psychology, anthropology and sociology, to explore the processes behind child language acquisition to the preschool period.
Language, Children and Society
Language, Children and Society: The Effect of Social Factors on Children Learning to Communicate investigates the processes involved in the development of communicative skills in young children, in particular as these unfold during the child's participation in social interactions in a variety of everyday, educational situations. For a fuller understanding of these processes, through which the child learns the vast array of communicative skills necessary to function effectively in social contexts, the broad range of situations in which the communicative exchanges are embedded—school, home, community, etc.—are examined. Comprised of 17 chapters, this volume begins by painting a vivid pictu...
Child Language Development
This publication is concerned with the early stages of language acquisition and is designed for use by early childhood teachers, nursery nurses, special education teachers and others working with children experiencing difficulties in learning to talk. Procedures are described that can be used to assess a child' s current skills and plan activities to increase communicative competence. The programme described is based on a developmental sequence that moves the early skills of joint attention, turn-taking and appropriate play to the more complex skills of asking and answering questions. Other issues discussed include sound development and intelligibility, the use of augmentative and alternative communication as stepping stones to speech, working with children and with families. The second edition has an expanded focus on the place of communicative intentions in early language development.
Conversational Competence and Social Development
This book provides new insight into the development of the child's ability to become a competent participant in conversation. The author combines a pragmatic analysis of the functions language can perform with an innovative and extensive empirical investigation of the development of young children's language use and sociocognitive skills. She gives a detailed description of the development of children's language between the ages of three-and-a-half and seven, broadens the scope of theorizing about language development by placing it in relation to the development of social understanding, and provides a new framework for understanding speech problems and designing ways to solve them. It is the first study to find a strong link between language, sociocognitive development, and social development. It will be welcomed by child language specialists, developmental and social psychologists, conversation and discourse analysts, and their advanced students.

Handbook of Communication and Social Interaction Skills
A comprehensive handbook covering social interaction skills & skill acquisition, in the context of personal, professional, and public stages. For scholars & students in interpersonal, group, family & health communication.
Communicative Competence
Stressing the use of meaningful language at all stages of language acquisition, this work is about texts and contexts in second language learning. It is intended for teachers and teachers-in-training as an introduction to the theoretical basis for communicative language teaching and as a guide to building a program consonant with those theories.
Promoting Social Communication
This title captures real-life lessons and documents the best practices for internet-based synchronous learning. Synchronous e-learning or live learning presented in real time, has many benefits including immediate feedback, live group learning, just-in-time presentations and the stability of the classroom experience. This Survival Guide does not focus on a specific software platform. Rather, it covers effective synchronous design, facilitation and communication techniques. All content is very specific and the practical examples shared throughout are designed to help the creators of synchronous training transition from the traditional practices of delivering classroom training.
