Demonstrating how children learn to produce and distinguish between sounds, and their acquisition of words and meanings, this book explains their incredible mastery of language. William O'Grady provides readers with an overview not only of the language acquisition process itself, but also of the ingenious experiments and techniques that researchers use to investigate this mysterious phenomenon.

Cet ouvrage traite des relations langagières entre professionnelles de la petite enfance (assistantes maternelles agréées, éducatrices de jeunes enfants,…) et enfants de 2 à 3 ans. En effet, jusqu'à présent, les recherches dans ce domaine ont porté principalement sur l'étude du discours des mères. Mais elles ne sont pas les seules à parler à leurs enfants ! Les professionnelles qui accueillent ces tout-petits pendant la journée conversent aussi avec eux, selon des modalités de communication qui sont ici précisées. Quel est l'impact du langage des professionnelles sur le développement - langagier notamment - des enfants ? Comment la réalité des situations et la nature des représentations, sociales, culturelles, psychiques, vont-elles influer sur cette communication ? On savait jusqu'à aujourd'hui comment les mères parlaient à leurs petits, on saura maintenant comment les professionnelles qui les accueillent pendant la journée s'adressent à eux.

This clear and informative textbook is designed to help the student achieve optimal success as a language learner and user. Aimed at beginning to intermediate undergraduates and above, it teaches students to understand their own preferences in learning, to develop individual learning plans and approaches, and to select appropriate learning strategies. The authors - all leading experts in language teaching - base their advice on theories of learning, cognition, and memory, concepts which they explain in simple and accessible terms. The book is divided into three sections - learning, language, and communication - and provides students with communicative strategies for use in real-life interaction with native speakers. Each chapter contains an overview and review section, with learning activities that students can carry out by themselves, in groups, or in the classroom. Equally suitable for use both by individuals and as a class text, this book will become an invaluable resource for all language learners.
