TIP 5, 6 & 7
The focus of chapter 5 is literacy developments. The chapter includes some theories such as Piaget’s theory of cognitive development, maturation theory, stage model theory and family literacy theory, emergent literacy theory… All these theories try to describe child literacy development according to their own point of view. Cognitive development theory is interested in development stages of children. So it gives importance to the role of teachers about development stages. If the teacher knows the stages of the development she or he can help better to children. To establish a rich literacy environment in the classroom is so beneficial for students. Therefore to build such an environment is crucial. Emergent literacy development explains the development of literacy by duration from birth and following years. According to Emergent literacy theory gives a lot importance to home environment. The environment in the home really affects the literacy development of children. But home and school should work together to reach optimum levels.
The focus of chapter 6 is social learning. To learn a language depends on student’s communication and interaction with their social environment. The cultural and historical background also very important while interaction. Relations are significant for establishing good background on children’s’ perspectives. We can easily find so many examples in their natural environment that they improve their skills when they are together with other environmental influences.
The point indicated in the chapter 7 is cognitive processing of information. We can also find the explanation of information process in our brains.
