APPLICATION

1. Interview your neighbors (parents/guardians) who have children ages 1-3 years old and 4-6

parents/teachers
- His father always gives some of his
time to teach his son how to read.
- They always talk to their son anything
just for him to know different terms
and can communicate well.
- Teach him how to add and subtract
numbers.
3. Can create simple sentence but struggling in
right grammars
 Interventions done by parents/teachers
- They teach Ayesha how to pronounce
each word correctly.
- Always giving them math exercises so
that her math skills will enhance.
- Teaching basic grammars so that her
writing skills will also enhance.

2. Given the advantages and disadvantages of bilingualism, are you in favor of teaching children
two languages in the early stages of life? Yes or No. Why or why not?

- Yes, I believe that teaching young children two languages while they are still in an early age is
a very effective way to enhance their communication skills, because I believe that the child’s
brain can easily adopt and learn things more than the adult. So, in this case, they should teach the
children while they are still young, because they won’t forget about it and they can use it in the
future.

Lesson 2: Emergent and Early Literacy: Reading Development and Performance
Application
Paste three pictures of yourself; 1 in your preschool years, 1 in your elementary years, and 1 in
your high school years (If in case, you don’t have pictures in your childhood, you may use any
picture of a child according to the age or grade level being asked). Describe and explain your
emergent and early literacy, particularly reading development and performance.

PRESCHOOL (4-6 yrs. Old) In my PRESCHHOL I learned some oral

vocabulary and alphabet code. Oral language
listening comprehension, oral language
vocabulary
Alphabetic Code
alphabet knowledge, phonological/ phonemic
awareness (the ability to discriminate sounds
in words), invented spelling

ELEMENTARY (7-11 yrs. Old) In my elementary days, as usual I can describe

myself that I develop my reading skills in
Alphabet code, oral vocabulary and more that
where I can express my thoughts in feelings in
reading.

HIGH SCHOOL (12-16 yrs. Old)
My life in high School was fun because of my
fellow students, teachers, classmates and
friends taught me to express my emotions
while reading, while giving my opinions,
sharing my knowledge and especially I
developed my skills in some parts of my past
that wasn’t improved way back then. And now
I can show to anybody that I am already
improved in reading, comprehend, critical
thinking, and decision making.

Lesson 3: Factors Affecting Language Development and Exceptional Development
Application
1. What will you do if you have a student with language disorder? What is the first thing
you will do to address his/her needs? Will you separate the child from your class or allow
him/her to stay and continue to provide the learning that he/she must have? Expound your
answer in not less than 10 sentences.

If I have a student with language disorder, the first thing I will do to address
his/her needs is knowing his/her strength and weaknesses so that I know how and
what are my strategies to help him/her learn in my subject. I will also communicate
his/her parents to help me assist their child and also to know his/her improvements.
Of course, the most important thing is that I will gain the heart and trust of that
student, so that he/she will not be afraid of me to ask for help and guidance. I will
constantly observe him/her, so that I can know if he/she improve or I should change
my strategies in that case, he/she will really learn. And lastly, I will try my best to
help him/her to learn and improve his/her skills; I won’t waste one single day
without single improvement of my student.
I won’t separate the child from his/her classmates because I believe that
his/her classmates will have a big help in his/her improvements. His/her
surroundings will motivate him/her to study and well and learn my lesson. It also
helps him/her to not be stress and think about being alone, because he/she have a
friend to lean on. In times of I am missing in action, he/she have a classmate to help
and assist him whenever he/she is struggling in understanding the lesson. I will
allow him/her to stay and continue to provide the learning that he/she must have
because that’s what he/she deserves.

MODULE ASSESSMENT

1. Why is it important for teachers to know about linguistic and literacy development of
children and adolescents?
- To have the teacher’s right knowledge on how to determine the ability and
capability of the learners (children and adolescents) towards learning. It also helps
them to determine problems occurring among children and adolescents in their
intellectual and speech ability.

2. As a future teacher, what will you do to create a classroom environment that will further
enhance your students’ language development?
- As a future educator, I will create a classroom environment that will help further
enhance my students’ language development by addressing student needs, design
my room with different words and quotes that they can read, create a diverse
classroom library, employ class-building games and activities and I will let my
students to play with words.
