Los Angeles AN IMPORTANT CLASS FOR NEW PARENTS! I just heard about this class that UCLA is offering this summer. It sounds so interesting! It’s called “Out of the Mouths of Babes” and it’s about how kids learn to talk. Whether they learn through imitation or whether parents teach them. It also explains whether children can learn a foreign language from listening to tapes or watching TV. And if raising a child bilingual hurts or helps them. Here’s an excerpt from the description: “Learn how children acquire language, the most complex of human cognitive achievements. We will study language acquisition from birth on, starting with how infants perceive speech around them, and moving on to word learning and the ability to produce and understand complete sentences. We will focus mainly on English, but will also discuss other languages and groups, including children acquiring sign languages and raising a child bilingually.” It sounds fascinating! It’s Tuesdays and Thursdays 6:30-9:30pm, August 3-September 11, 2009. To enroll: http://www.summer.ucla.edu/EnrollRegister/howtoenroll.htm#visiting For more info: http://www.summer.ucla.edu/fees/fees.htm Questions can be directed to linguist@humnet.ucla.edu It sounds like a truly interesting class!!! , lilaguide.com - Stores, Restaurants, Services, Products, Activities, Events
