This video talks about ways and strategies to promote language development. It starts off by saying oral language should be promoted early on in the child's school years. They also say that scaffolding of language development is very important. Scaffolding is helpful in all areas of education, but especially in language development; it allows for development to start of simple and continue to grow into more complex knowledge. Another strategy teachers can use to promote language in their classrooms is by asking open ended questions and being interested in what the children have to say. Teachers can also do something as simple as modeling the use of new vocabulary words and or phrases. I think this video has a lot to offer on the topic of language development.
