1. Application: Language Development Face-to-Face Part 1: Observing an
Infant or Toddler Interacting with an Important Adult
The goal of this assignment is to apply what you have learned about one stage of language
development (prelinguistic, phonological, or semantic) and how important adults can foster
language development during that stage. You will observe an infant or toddler and his or
her interaction with the adult. After the observation, you will interview the adult about the
child’s language in this stage of development.To complete the assignment:Plan: Choose an
infant or toddler and an important adult (parent or other caregiver) to observe in a
comfortable setting, preferably the child’s home. Here are tips for planning the
observation:As outlined in Week 1, explain to the adult the purpose of the observation and
how the information you gather will be used. Obtain permission to tape-record interactions
between the child and adult and the post-observation interview with the adult. Set a time
and date for the observation.Review information from this week’s readings, including the
charts and other specific checkpoints on the different stages of development provided in the
Week 2 Online Reading about the stage of development of the child you plan to observe
(prelinguistic, phonological, or semantic), and specific ways that parents or other important
adults foster language development at this stage.Click on the link below to download, print

Infant or Toddler/Adult Observation and Interview GuideArrive on time and take time to
greet the child and the adult. Ask the adult about how the child’s day is going before you
begin. (Factors such as a child feeling tired, hungry, or upset can influence the child’s mood
and behavior.)Test your recorder to be sure it is working, then place it in an optimal spot
for recording.Observe: Sit in an unobtrusive place where you can watch and listen for about
20 minutes. You may need to move out of the infant’s or toddler’s vision range to avoid
distracting the child and influencing his or her interaction with the adult. As you observe,
take notes on what you see and hear using the Observation Guide. Use the information in
your course text and other readings to recognize sounds or language that are evidence of
the child’s stage of language development. Note ways that you observe the adult fostering
language development and note any questions you have for the adult. Some guidelines:Keep
your attention focused on the child and adult.Remember to stay as objective as possible. Use
only what you see and hear as evidence of the child’s use of language and the adult
interaction with the child. Be mindful to not make assumptions about a child based on your
observations. Be aware that you are observing in real time. You may observe a lot of activity
2. from the child or very little. The interview with the adult will also give you information to
reflect on for your written assignment.Remember that despite similarities shared by
children of various ages, each child is different and goes through the stages of language
development in his or her own way. Keep that uniqueness in mind as you observe the
child.Enjoy the experience. Use what you’ve learned this week to try to imagine the world
through the eyes of an infant or toddler and his or her experience of learning and using
language.Be respectful of the child’s and adult’s time. Stick to the time span you agreed to
for the observation. Be sure to thank the adult and child for their cooperation.Remember
that this observation experience is intended as a chance for you to learn. Do not criticize or
attempt to instruct the adult on ways to foster language development.Reflect on your
observation and interview. Review your notes and listen to the recording of the child’s use
of language, child-adult interactions, and your interview with the adult as many times as
necessary to complete the following:What did you learn from your observation and
interview about the child’s typical language activity? Give examples of the child’s use of
“language” that provide evidence of the child’s stage of language development. Describe the
type of interactions between the child and adult, including specific examples from your
notes or recording of the observation. Based on what you have learned, describe the
significance of these interactions in fostering the child’s language development.How did the
type and degree of interaction between the child and adult compare with what you have
learned about this specific stage of language development and types of interactions that
best foster language development?Imagine yourself in this adult’s place. What kinds of
suggestions would you find valuable for fostering this child’s language development?
Provide some specific ideas.Note: Do not use the real names of the adult and child. Use only
first names, initials, or fictitious names for the child and the adult to protect their
privacy.Assignment length: 2–3 pages (You are not required to submit your Observation
