-Hello everybody, as you all know my name is Sònia and today I’m going to explain my research project which is about the evolution of the language and the intelligence of the children.

Introduction...

I chose this topic because I’ve always wanted to be a teacher of children.
My research project studies how the children’s intelligence evolves since they are born until they are three years old.

Some of my objectives are:
-To have a mini base of what I should know about the evolution of the Language and the intelligence of children.
-See when the language appears and how it evolve.
 -Know if I really want to be a teacher in the future.
  
Why a language is so important…?

Human beings are social people and that’s why we really need the language; to communicate ideas, wishes, feelings, etc, so we need it to communicate to each other.

The oral expression...

It’s by oral expression that children begin learning how to express themselves, had a better pronunciation, expand their vocabulary, improve the syntax, among many other things. This means that there is a large growth of the language, which is achieved only listening and speaking.

But they can also achieve it by the dialogue which structure thinking and reinforces the security and self-esteem.
Another form is by Tales which help the develop of the imagination, understanding, speaking and thinking better.

The three mechanisms of language acquisition are:

 -The Imitation (try to imitate)
 -The Observation
 -The Game
First the children obsreve all what happens around them, and then they try to imitate it. Another mecanism is the game because in the game appears the dialogue.

The psycholinguistic development in the early years is divided in two stages:

-The Pre-linguistic stage.
-The Linguistic or verbal stage.
The most relevant features in the linguistic stage are that then appear the first words and sentences.

The structure of the first phrases of the children are:
        -Noun + verb: “Nena canta”.
        - Noun + adverb : “Galeta més”; “Galeta no”.
        -Noun + noun: “Pilota taula”; “cadira mama”.
        -The personal pronoun "I" appears when he/she is 3 years, before he refers to himself by the personal pronoun "He"/"She"/by his/her name.
In the linguistic stage appears the negative "no" (when the children only say no to all).
The children's vocabulary is 150 words (when they are 2 years) and 1500 words (when they are 3years).
One of the important things is: To Do not forget that parents are models to follow for what they do more than what they say.

And that’s all...
I hope you all have enjoi it...
And thanks you so much for you attention.
Have you got any question?
