ECE353 Week 3 Discussion 

Watch the talk by Patricia Kuhl, entitled The Linguistic Genius of Babies.

How do her findings support language acquisition in regard to phonology as it is described in Chapter Six of your text? Include a discussion of the need for a social context when developing phonological awareness and why. How did your own social context impact your phonological awareness?
Guided Response: Review several of your classmates’ posts and analyze their findings on language acquisition. Respond to at least two of your classmates and provide recommendations to extend their thinking. Challenge your classmates by asking a question that may cause them to reevaluate or add components to their understanding of the role of social context in this process.
