Synopsis

Language is of central importance in children's development and vital for their success at school and the world beyond. John Harris provides an account of how research has expanded our understanding of just what language is and how this has led to different approaches to language assessment. Theories of language development are summarized in terms of their implications for language teaching. He explains how teachers and therapists can overcome the special problems faced by children with particular difficulties such as visual impairment, hearing impairment, general learning difficulties, and environmental deprivation.

About this title

Review:

." . . this is an unusually careful and reasonable discussion of the current developmental field and related language treatments, with real strengths in practical and methodological matters, combined with an attitude of general tolerance of ambiguity that is no common thing."-"Contemporary Psychology
