    “Aria: Memoir of a Bilingual Childhood” by Richard Rodriguez highlights the differences between public and private language use. Within paragraph five of his essay, Rodriguez claims, “[i]t is not possible for a child–any child–ever to use his family’s language in school. Not to understand this is to misunderstand the public uses of schooling and trivialize the nature of intimate life–a family’s ‘language.’” Rodriguez builds his claim through the use of amplification throughout. With attention to this, it can be shown that this is essential to his piece, with respect to this particular claim he is making.

    Furthermore, another question someone may ask is, “What makes Latinos different from African American students that also live in poor districts with little resources”? First of all, it is important to recognize that it is true that African American students also live in impoverished communities and attend lowly funded schools. However, the difference is that there is a language barrier that disadvantages both parents and students. When students are enrolled into school, the first question school officials ask is “What is the child’s first spoken language”? This question automatically categorizes that student.

    People unintentionally fail at playing charades everyday by visually illustrating what they are trying to convey when they are speaking. People do not solely rely on words in communication with others, just as they do not fully rely on gestures to get their point across. In fact, the most skilled speakers use a wide variety of components of both verbal and nonverbal communication. A good way to observe this mixture of communication is watching interactions, and a convenient method to do so is to observe conversations in television shows. ABC’s comedy Fresh Off the Boat illustrates the Huang family dynamics through the use of clever communication motifs in the characters’ conversations throughout the episode, Time to get Ill in which the father, Louis, and his sons, Eddie, Emery, and Evan are left to their own devices after the

  • Summary On The Impact Of The Hmong Community On Child Maltreatment

    1270 Words  | 6 Pages

    In the Hmong culture, parents and children do not communicate with one another on a daily basis. Traditionally, Asian families may not be as verbal and openly affectionate toward their children as families are expected to be in a standard American family (CACF, 2011). In a YouTube video called “Asian Parents React to I Love You” is a video about college Asian students away from home, discussing about the last time they said the words “I Love You” to their parents. The video showed 3 out of 5 people never had said “I love you to their parents before. One of the male students said “I never said I love you to my parents, and that’s probably because they never said it to me, so love was more shown through actions (2014).”

  • Language Sample Analysis Sample

    1870 Words  | 8 Pages

    A language sample analysis (LSA) is a tool that generates the coding and transcriptions of a language sample to document the language used every day in various speaking situations (Miller, Andriacchi, & Nockerts, 2016). Language samples are typically 50-100 words in length and are voice-recorded and then transcribed by the clinician. Language samples are done using spontaneous speech, such as typical conversation, or narrative contexts, such as story or event recalls (Miller, Andriacchi, & Nockerts, 2016). The speech-language pathologist (SLP) will take the recording and write out, in the exact words of the child and clinician, every utterance (Bowen, 2011). The SLP will then "code" the sample.

The same goes when a family is talking to one another, it can become some sort of secret language that only they will understand. “But I do think that the language spoken in the family, especially in immigrant families which are more insular, plays a large role in shaping the language of the child” (Tan 60). While the language that the child is being taught at home may not seem to be efficient when used with other people, that child is able to understand what their family is

  • Examples Of Parent Child Interaction Observation

    1305 Words  | 6 Pages

    For the parent-child interaction observation, I decided to use my community park as the public setting. My observation consisted of watching the interaction of a mother and her two sons, who seemed to be twins around the age of six or seven years old. I observed the interaction from afar without them being aware that I was observing, which allowed me to note a true naturalistic observation without manipulation of the situation. The setting of the interaction was a community park, where a mother and her two sons of Indian ethnicity, were approaching a basketball court area. The mother began to strap a helmet on one son because he was about to ride his bike, while the other son was walking alongside them holding a basketball.

    The questionable and ambiguous nature surrounding the notion that children play an active role in acquiring language has been debated by many theorists of different perspectives. These three perspectives include the learning view, the nativist view and the interactionist view. In this essay I will discuss each perspective with reference to psychological theories and research that relates to each view. The learning perspective of language acquisition suggests that children acquire language through imitation and reinforcement (Skinner, 1957). The ideology behind this view claims that children develop language by repeating utterances that have been praised by their parent, therefore gaining a larger vocabulary and understanding of phrases over
