Language acquisition and learning notes

These community-made notes offer different ways into the unit. Stages of Language Acquisition outlines early stages of child language development, while Child Language Acquisition Theorists begins with Piaget’s cognitive theory and schemas. For second language study, the notes include theories, cognitive approaches and learning strategies.

How to use the notes

Start with Stages of Language Acquisition if you want an outline to work through. For an example of written analysis, read Written Up Analysis of Owl Babies, which discusses features including names and repetition. The past paper write-up offers another example for students practising language analysis.

As you read, make a short summary of each note and compare the ideas it covers with another note on the same topic. If you want to check terms or see connections between ideas, switch to flashcards or mind maps on the unit page. Open a note and follow the topic that interests you.

Frequently asked questions

Which note should I start with?

Do the notes include material for A-level English Language?

Yes. The list includes a past paper write-up for English Language A2, as well as a note on four theorists for A2 English Language. Other notes cover child language stages and second language learning, so the page also offers material for university students and professional candidates.
