How those theories help Educators to understand oral language and communication development?

Updated: Jul 3, 2022


According to Australian Government Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations [DEEWR] (2009), they published an approved learning framework for 0-5 years old: The Belonging, Being and Becoming: The Early Years Learning Framework [EYLF] which contains early childhood pedagogy; five principles and eight practices, followed by five learning outcomes for children and how educators promote the learning on those five outcomes. In video 1.1 it will be explained on how those theories help educators to understand oral language and communication development and the relation to approved learning framework.


Video 1.1.

Some of theories' perspectives and models are aligning with The Belonging, Being and Becoming: The Early Years Learning Framework for educators and teachers in expanding the children's learning in Oral Language.

What is Oral Language in the Early Years?

“Oral communication is a process whereby two or more people construct
meaning. It is in many ways a complex, interactive process that involves an
encoder (who formulates the message and puts it into a code – spoken
language) and a decoder (who interprets and endeavours to understand
the information conveyed) working together to build meaning” (Fellowes &
Oakley, 2020, p.43).

Why is it important?

"it is important to realise that children learn
language before they learn speech. They use
receptive language skills to take note of
sounds, expressions, gesture, tone used by
people around them."
