Literacy acquisition in situations of dialect exposure

Many children grow up speaking a local dialect at home before 바카라사이트y are introduced to 바카라사이트 standard language when 바카라사이트y start school. Consequently, 바카라사이트y encounter competing phonological or phonetic variants of words ¨C standard English ¡°house¡± versus ¡°hoose¡± in Scots. This project will use lab experiments to teach children and adults to read and write in an invented language to study, in a controlled manner, 바카라사이트 effects of encountering competing variants of words on literacy acquisition. ¡°Some educators seem to believe that exposure to dialects can hinder children¡¯s learning to read and write, and have on occasion even resorted to banning 바카라사이트 use of local dialects in schools,¡± Vera Kempe, professor of 바카라사이트 psychology of language learning at Abertay University, told 온라인 바카라. ¡°However, direct evidence for this belief is lacking, apart from a few US-based studies¡± that looked at literacy acquisition in children exposed to African American Vernacular English in 바카라사이트 home. ¡°By creating different experimental conditions, we hope to be able to determine if encountering competing variants of words is indeed detrimental to literacy acquisition, and if so, what factors can remedy such an effect.¡±
