-Children who might be left behind in a more competitive environment can be brought up.
*Explain three functions of literacy:
1.Literacy serves people by providing one medium through which individuals can learn about the world and share their understanding with others.
2.It help people to explain, analyze and argue about, and act upon the world.
3.Make and maintain connections with other people .
I also concider that competitive children like to work alone thinking that just she or he has the reason, meanwhile cooperative children learn work as a team and they like to work together and they take to account the opinion of the other member of the group
BorrarNot that those student like to work alone, it could be that they have been taught to work that way (competitive structures). But let's take into account one of the teacher's role is to identify their students' weaknesses and strengths. By implementing a cooperative structure in our classes we help those gifted students to be leaders and help their classmates to strengthen other students' weaknesses. So, instead of giving them the opportunity to be selfish we give them the opportunity to cooperate in other students' learning process.
BorrarIt's up to us, teachers, to know what type of skills we want to develop in our learners.
1.The characteristics of how children learn at school.
ResponderBorrar• Children learn develop both their physical and conversation
• Learn cognitive and linguistically

3.Explain the difference between structure and activities-
structure : is going to develop in pair or individual.
The activities :. The teacher assigns students in groups with specific roles and jobs. After team members are organized into these small groups, usually of four students, then they receive instruction from their teacher, so that the teacher poses the problem. The groups cooperate with one another and work together to show and classify according to color,shape,number ect.
The structure: Is going to develop in pair or individual. in this exercise the teacher divided into pair of estudents and poses the question. Each pairs, students A talks about his or her answer for one minute, then Student B does the same. This method of instruction in which students works together structured interaction and learning academic task.
three facts of language:
ResponderBorrarlanguage is human universal: all cultural groups have a language system in order to communicate with others.
language is systematic: every language has its own characteristic and way of combining sounds , words and sentences.
language and culture: are closely related costum,traditions, values,story and religion that are transmited to a larges extent through language.
how children learn at home : they learn slowly with out pressure, they found their own way to learn ; and everythings they learn is with enthusiast.
how children learn at school : here for children is a little complicated because they learn new things new words and they have some pressure but sometimes this is not from the teacher if not, for the others also they concider that this effort that they made should include a prise for making progress in their learning process.
I also concider that children learn at home through difference aspects that can be, the children develop their physical and conversional skills, with their family friends, also at home is no pressure; every advance is enthusiastically welcomed.

DEFINITION OF "EMERGENT LITERACY"
Emergent Literacy; a term coined by Marie Clay in 1966 to describe how young children gradually become aware of the uses of written language in their environment.
It’s quite interesting how some adults think that children go to school just to play. Actually children at school begin the process of producing the language and develop the four macro skills in their L1 and in some cases in a L2. Basically, children become aware of prints and begin the process by learning how to read and write each consonant and vowel. On one hand, they learn how to read consonants, then three and four letter words. On the other hand words that are frequently use, in order to write and read simple sentences. Finally, learners start reading from simple to complex sentences. In fact, being part of a learner’s process in literacy is a fulfilling experience but is quite a challenge as well.
DEFINITION OF "LITERACY":
Webster’s Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary defines literacy as “the quality or state of being literate”. The dictionary then defines literate either as an adjective, “able to read and write”, or as a noun, “one who can read and write”. But for Sarah Hudelson, it means more than knowing how to read and write or being able to read and write. Literacy is meaning or the construction of meaning. It provides one medium through which individuals can learn about the world and share their understanding (construct meanings) with others, but also to reflect and make connections with others, with their cultural heritages, with the language, and with the entire world.

ResponderBorrar-Language is a human universal:
In every part of the world there are many types of languages and every cultural group has their own language to communicate each other, share about knowledge and express thoughts. There is no person who don't speak any language because since we born we adopt a language to understand other people.
-Languages is systematic:
Every language has a variety of words, sounds and a different way to create sentence to communicate with people of the same culture.
-Language is both creative and functional:
We as speakers have the capacity to understand and comprehend the language in an infinite number of ways according to shape, colors, function and kind. The language is a beautiful tool to express our feelings and thinking using many kinds of utterances.
Explain at least three clusters of concepts that young children should become familiar with over time:
-Identification of objects: beginning with those that are immediate and personal, such as body parts, clothing and objects in the classroom.

-Emotional and familiar relationships: such as love and hate, happiness and unhappiness, loyalty, family, self and others, including both other children and adults.
Emergent literacy:
A term coined by Marie Clay in 1966 to describe how children gradually become aware of the uses of writing in their environment, and it is also a term that is used to explain a child's knowledge of reading and writing skills before they learn how to read and write words in the process of language.
I agree with you Claudia, there is no one in the world who does no speak a language, because since we born we try to find a way to convey our needs, which direct us to another fact of language which is that language can be non-verbal as verbal and we can easily identify it with babys who tell their needs throght gestures until they learn a language in a systematic way

Language can be both non-verbal as well as verbal: Which means that language is not necessarily a group of words, language has a huge dimension of meanings that people can communicate even by gestures, it also is interrelated with cultures in every country.
Language is a Human Universal: Because every human being needs to be in contact and communicated in the society where they live, is essential that every group of people develop a language to have a way to communicate their needs and emotions, which are crucial to subsist.
Languages change: This fact is interconnected with technology and science, because this fields are the one that make cultures move forward, that is why it is a request to introduce new vocabulary in language in order to cultures match with technological advances.

Borrarthree facts of language:
ResponderBorrarlanguage is a human universal: all cultural groups have a language system that their memebers in order to communicate with each other.
language is creative and functional: a speaker of any language can both create and comprehend an infinite number of uttterances based on a finite number of rules. these utterances can over a multitude of functions, such as requesting, refusing, promising, denying, agreeing, disagreeing and expressing emotions.
languages chance: new words can be created to meet the scientific and technological demands of the modern world. humans being have an innate capacity to learn language.
how to learn at home: found that many home educating families chose or gravitated towards an informal style of education, radically different from that found in schools. Such learning, also described as unschooling, natural or autonomous, takes place without most of the features considered essential for learning in school. At home there is no curriculum or sequential teaching, nor are there any lessons, textbooks, requirements for written work, practice exercises, marking or testing.
Tips for learning at school:
Here are some practical tips for helping your primary school-age child learn:
Show an interest in what your child is doing and learning.
Play rhyming games, letter games, and shape and number games with your child, and practise taking turns in games and activities.
Use simple language, and play with words and word meanings – for example, you could clap out the syllables of words or play word association games.
Keep reading to your child even when she can read for herself.
Let your child hear and see lots of new words in books, on TV or in general conversation, and talk about what the words mean.
When your child shows you or tells you about something that he’s playing with, try to pause, give him your attention and ask a question or two.
Help your child discover what she’s good at by encouraging her to try lots of different activities.

-Language and thought are closely related.
In this sense people use language to share their thoughts, to say what they think in a free way and without restrictions.
3.Emergent Literacy
It is the ability of children since an early age to acquire gradually their reading and writing skills in a conscious way, It will help them in their language development.
