WELCOME!
This web page has been developed by pre-service teachers to assist the parents of students at primary school, in understanding the importance of language. We aim to provide parents information regarding theoretical perspectives of language, the components of language and the issues surrounding teaching language.
Throughout our lives we continue to develop and expand our understanding of language and literacy, as languages are constantly evolving and diversifying. As a parent, it can sometimes be difficult understanding the learning approaches being utilised in school, particularly in regards to learning language. The importance of language is sometimes overlooked, so we aim to address why is is an essential aspect of education.

We aim to inform those interested in the study of language as well as parents of students in primary school of a number of approaches being adopted in schools today. A number of theorists have studied the acquisition of language and their interpretations have been adopted throughout our teaching strategy. These are also intertwined into this web page to assist in explanation and understanding.
