As the early years practitioner with responsibility for supporting children’s speech language and communication and creativity you are asked to provide the following evidence:
• an explanation of each of the following terms:
Ans.
- speech
The speech is sounds children use to build up words, saying sounds accurately and in the right places. Speaking fluently, without hesitating, prolonging or repeating words or sounds is also speech. Speaking with expression and a clear voice, using pitch, volume and intonation to support meaning is another form of speech.
- language
There are two types of languages: expressive language and understanding of language
By expressive language we mean; * Having words to describe objects, actions and attributes * Using these words to build up sentences * Using these sentences to build up conversations and narratives * Following the rules of grammar, so that things make sense
By understanding we mean; * Processing and making sense of what people say * Understanding words being spoken * Understanding the rules of grammar used
- communication
By communication we mean the way in which language is used to interact with others * Using language in different ways; to question, clarify, describe and debate * Using non-verbal rules of communication: listening, looking, knowing how to take verbal turns and how to change language use to suit the situation * The ability to take into account other people’s perspectives, intentions and wider context
- speech, language and communication needs
People with speech, language and communication needs (SLCN) have difficulties in communicating with others.
This may be because: * They are unable to say what they want to * They have difficulty understanding what is being said to them * They do not understand social rules * For some this may be minor and temporary whilst for others their needs will be complex and long-term.
