Using First Language Acquisition mind maps

The maps on this page offer different ways into the unit. CLA Theories brings together several theorists, making it a useful starting point for an overview. For a narrower topic, Acquisition and Play links play with turn-taking, caregivers and social interaction.

Other maps focus on particular aspects of development. Lexical & Semantic Development covers words and their meanings, while Pragmatic Development looks at language in social situations. Child-directed Speech offers another topic to explore.

From overview to practice

Read through the branches of a map, then try recalling its main points without looking. Return to the branches you find difficult and compare them with another map on a related topic. When you want to check your understanding with questions, switch to a quiz on the unit page.

Pick a map that fits your current topic and work through its branches.
