This task encourages students to reflect on their ideas related to key domains and components of children’s language development and the important roles of social interactions in supporting children to develop their language. Students may create mind maps to brainstorm ideas and draft a 300-word poster.
b) Assessment part B: Complete a 1,500-word poster that provides a thorough review of relevant literature related to children’s language development and social interactions in supporting children to develop their language.
