Language Development in Early Education

Abstract

This article aims to review some of the literature from the past 5 years on the development of language in pre-schoolers. Language is one of the fundamental acquisitions that the child makes in the preschool stage. The emotional and cognitive universe of the child is managed through language. Since language is one of the essential parameters of the early development of the child, the development of receptive language and expressive language is essential in the first two years of life. Children take their first critical steps toward learning to read and write very early in life. Children do not learn to read and write automatically, but careful planning and instruction are essential. The factors that influence the development of language in pre-schoolers are manifold. Among them, the capacity for emotional self-regulation is associated with high school and social successes. The parent-child interaction can help to acquire a rich linguistic background. Playing with adults has a decisive role in children's language development. Factors such as the quality of night sleep or the physical and mental well-being of the mother are correlated with a faster acquisition of language skills. Book reading, storytelling, and picture books are tools and methods that educators and parents can successfully use in developing preschool language.
