WHAT IS COMMUNICATION:

Generally speaking,communication may be

defined as the sending of signal from a source

to a receiver, it is often the case that the

receiver sends a signal back to the source.

STAGES OF CHILD ACQUISITION

Pre-speech Stage:

At first,infant starts

to cry to express

pain or hunger, then

he begins to pay

attention to all the

sounds around him.

Babbling Stage:

Around months,infant

begins to babble and

coo,tring to utter

different sounds and

puts vowels and

consonants together

to imitate speaking

such as ‘gaga’,’gou

gou’, ’ghuh’…

One Word Stage:

Child begins to develop

his first words by

using just one word

instead of whole

sentence like ‘Ball’ to

express ‘Give me the

ball’.

He also uses gestures

to communicate.

Early Grammar Stage:

At this stage, infant

can build sentences but

with his own grammar

rules and he uses

present simple or

confused past like: i

goed to granny instead

of i went to my

grandmather.

CONCLUSION The child is born with an instinct for a

language,so he acquires his mother tongue from

the speech heard at home and the overhearing

to the conversation of the others,that’s why

the parents have to talk with their infants.
