A consideration of human speech from the very earliest stages. This course looks into the incredible process of child language acquisition, based on their life experiences.
Have you ever marvelled at the thought of the development of human speech? How we go from merely cooing to having the ability to naturally string words into sentences? This course looks into the profound developments of how young children acquire language based on their experiences within the world. These factor into their speech development, giving them the ability to learn at their own pace. The study of child language acquisition also makes for useful data and understanding for child analysts/doctors/researchers, when they are looking into certain speech conditions that could affect anyone at any time. With the knowledge that is gained from understanding how children can acquire languages, it can help them rehabilitate those who may have lost their language abilities.
