VEYLDF Language development across the curriculum by https://padlet.com/amechristiansen4/aawjtsamdqwgefx8 Using the VEYLDF, comment on the following prompt questions for ONE outcome: Can you find evidence of language development Where does language development needs to occur? Can you find evidence of ‘social construction’ What is/is not being said about gender and associated language and social expectation? What needs to be included in this outcome to ensure language development in this area? Please use your name as the heading for your response en-us 2021-02-16 02:49:30 UTC 2025-12-21 18:19:12 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f421.png Sarah Wildy S2 https://padlet.com/amechristiansen4/aawjtsamdqwgefx8/wish/1457763455 Language development: 
Children learn to 
  • Recognise sounds
  • Make meaning out of symbols
  • Identify letters, symbols and characters and the sounds that go along with them
  • Increasingly use conventional speech and writing and punctuation

Social construction:
Exchanging ideas, feelings and understandings using language and representations.
Interact with others to explore ideas and concepts, clarify and challenge thinking, negotiate and share new understandings.

There’s no specific evidence that can be prescribed. If the teacher can identify children engaging and responding either during child initiated or adult- directed learning then the child can be perceived as an involved learner. However, I am a bit concerned about the word ‘confident’ - I am guessing this means a teacher can use ‘intentional teaching’ methods to find out what the child is interested in and build educational programmes based on the evidence. A child centred approach is experimental in nature, as every child is different and how/ what they wish to learn can also vary. 

Examples - 
Imitating sounds during a book reading/ singing song session (Social interaction with the educator)

Expressing themselves through body gestures to interact with their peers during play. Toddlers usually interact with their peers by taking food from another child's plate. They want to know how the other child will react to this. Even during block play, while a child is constructing a tower another child might try to add a block to the tower.

Children can use verbal and non-verbal languages to communicate their needs and feelings. Language development occurs when children engage in social interactions with their peers and adults. Not only through verbal language, children can convey their feelings, thoughts, and ideas through cues such as body gestures, movement, and eye connection.]]> 2021-04-26 04:07:08 UTC https://padlet.com/amechristiansen4/aawjtsamdqwgefx8/wish/1457764965 Judy - Group 2 https://padlet.com/amechristiansen4/aawjtsamdqwgefx8/wish/1457765118 Evidence of language development
  • Children openly express their feelings and ideas
  • respond to ideas and suggestions from others
  • confidently explore and engage with social and physical environments through relationships and play (e.g. dramatic play and artwork)
Language development needs to occur at home, classroom and community and have interactions with others.

Evidence of ‘social construction’

  • share aspects of their culture with other children and educators
  • develop their social and cultural heritage through engagement with Elders and community members
  • show interest in other children and being part of a group,
  • empathise with and express concern for others, display awareness of and respect for others’ perspectives

Associated language and social expectation
  • Understand that English is one of many languages spoken in Australia and that different languages may be spoken by family, classmates and community. 
  • Understand that people use different systems of communication to cater to different needs and purposes and that many people may use sign systems to communicate with others.
  •  Explore how language is used differently at home and school depending on the relationships between people. 
  • Participate in shared imaginative activities and respond through singing, chanting, play-acting and movement.
 
Gender equality and other gender-related issues are not mentioned in the Identity outcome.

A culturally inclusive environment should be created where children would feel safe, secure and supported and develop knowledgeable and confident self-identities.

 - Children use language to describe what happens and how they feel during a range of interactions
- Children express their opinions about matters that interest and impact them
- Children recognise that different languages reflect different peoples and places. They learn to notice similarities and differences between different languages
- Children use effective vocabulary in familiar contexts

Social Construction
- children cooperate and negotiate in play and group experiences
- children assist others to participate in group activities
- children participate in reciprocal relationships
- children begin to show sympathy for others
- children collaborate to solve problems and achieve group goals

In terms of social construction, children learn to operate within the expectations and boundaries of the various groups they belong to. This outcome also focuses on respect - both for self and others and for culture.]]> 2021-04-26 04:11:43 UTC https://padlet.com/amechristiansen4/aawjtsamdqwgefx8/wish/1457772007 Children need language to share their experience, connect with others, negotiate, express ideas, participate in relationships. Social participation and the chance to co-construct knowledge with peers would be affected if children don't have the language they need to join in. Possibilities for disadvantage here if not all voices are heard (eg. non-english speakers, more softly spoken, cultural differences leading to some children being less forthcoming in conversation?) The learning outcome needs to guide educators to support participation of all children so that can be connected and able to contribute; this will look different for each child. Multiliteracies is a relevant approach here - how can the child connect and express themself? What voices are being heard in the classroom? What styles of communication and language use are valued? sophielouisereese https://padlet.com/amechristiansen4/aawjtsamdqwgefx8/wish/1457774552 2021-04-26 04:13:20 UTC https://padlet.com/amechristiansen4/aawjtsamdqwgefx8/wish/1457774552 yujing wang (seminar 2 ELise) https://padlet.com/amechristiansen4/aawjtsamdqwgefx8/wish/1457775786 In my opinion, this learning outcome is very symbolic in children's language and literature learning, which is aimed at the respect for children's culture, race and language growing environment. In EC setting, children will be exposed to a large number of language activities, most of which are for their first language. In such language interaction, children will enhance their awareness of their mother tongue, and actively express their feelings and opinions in the activities, which will also enhance their cognition of their own language and even culture. In this way, children's sense of identity can be enhanced. Such as: Children who are innocent express their feelings and ideas, respond to ideas and suggestions from others,  confidently explore and engage with social and physical environments through relationships and play (e.g. dramatic play And artwork).]]> 2021-04-26 04:14:07 UTC https://padlet.com/amechristiansen4/aawjtsamdqwgefx8/wish/1457775786 Kate Powell - S2 https://padlet.com/amechristiansen4/aawjtsamdqwgefx8/wish/1457775835 Evidence of language development:
- Children cooperate with others and negotiate roles and relationships
- Gradually learn to read the behaviours of others and respond appropriately 
- Contrubute to democratic decision making about matters that affect them 
- Are playful and respond positvely to others, reaching out for company and friendship. 
Language development needs to occur across all areas of a child's life, home environment, schooling/education environment. 

Gender Equality is not mentioned in the VEYLDF although Outcome 2 does discuss:
- consulting families and children in order to understand their cultural and everyday traditions and routines
- Providing equitable oppotunities for children with diverse capabilities and life circumstances supports engagement and connection, enabling them to contribute positively to their world. 

Education for all educators on how to approach gender bias in the classroom and how to encourage children to develop appropriate language in regards to gender.]]> 2021-04-26 04:14:09 UTC https://padlet.com/amechristiansen4/aawjtsamdqwgefx8/wish/1457775835 Josh Woodhart https://padlet.com/amechristiansen4/aawjtsamdqwgefx8/wish/1457776555 Language Development:
- Learn how to express feelings.
- Seek support from others around them.
- Learning to constructively resolve conflicts with others both in the learning environment and outside.
- Opportunity for language development should be encouraged within all aspects of learning. As we largely use language to communicate with peers, it should be a strong focus that every learning outcome is accompanied with the language that is needed to enhance it. 

Social Construction:
- Learning to become adaptable and confident in differing situations.
- Learning to be comfortable in the range of settings that are part of their lives.
- Learning to seek and receive assistance, as well as becoming comfortable with being both alone and with others.
- Warm and supportive relationships help to develop strong bonds and attachments with others.
- With progression and maturity comes increased social skills and resilience.
- There appears to be a lack in encouraging non-gender bias activity and language differences. Although it should not be assumed all children will take to gender stereotypical activities, perhaps it could be encouraged that biological gender does not separate children in social engagement.

Suggestion for inclusion:
- An overarching view of cultural understanding and inclusion should be incorporated throughout. All areas of development of vital for every child, of all cultural backgrounds. Breaking down existing biases that may exist is very important, especially in the early learning setting. Becoming aware and accepting of differences will help to create an a well rounded understanding of community and family between child-child, child-educator and child-self.

Language development is a key part of children having a sense of identity, as it allows for children to demonstrate emotional awareness and concerns for others, create trusting relationships and communicate their needs.

To support children’s learning, it is essential that educators attend to children’s wellbeing by providing warm, trusting relationships, predictable and safe environments, affirmation and respect for all aspects of their physical, emotional, social, cognitive, linguistic, creative and spiritual being.

Language development is intertwined with identity formation. The acquisition and maintenance of first or home language is essential to construct self-identity and sense of belonging.

2. Language development can be supported at home, in childcare centres and in communities. Adults should recognise and respect the importance of children's home language. Creative activities such as singing and dramatic play can help children explore how language is used differently across contexts.

3. Once children form a strong sense of identity, they also gain confidence and competence to contribute to their social groups. Through understanding the diversity of language, children could gain insight into the importance of social cohesion and cultural interdependence. Dramatic play, as a way to develop language skill, also allows children to experience different perspectives and understand the relation between individual and groups.

4. This section does not include how gender, which is inherent in identity formation, can be developed through language. Children perceive socially expected gender roles in conversations with adults. They often engage in gender information during dramatic play, where language facilitates gender awareness.

5. Adults scaffolding children during identity formation should be included. Adults are responsible for guiding children develop agency and competence through language using. Adults need to carefully choose the language and vocabularies they use during the conversations with children to appropriately engage children in meaningful exploration of identity.]]> 2021-04-26 04:32:06 UTC https://padlet.com/amechristiansen4/aawjtsamdqwgefx8/wish/1457806649 Ziqian Wang(seminar 2) https://padlet.com/amechristiansen4/aawjtsamdqwgefx8/wish/1457811034 Evidence of language development
-Children enojoy sharing their everyday routines, events and experiences, and use opportunities to contribute to decisions.
-Children become aware of the impact of the local environment, both physical and social, on their lives.
-Children understand different ways of contributing through play and projects.
-Children begin to show concern for others and listen to other's ideas and respect different ways of being and doing.

This language development is occuring during the process where children try to undestand the connection between themselves and their community, their country and the world.

Children 
  • use language and engage in symbolic play to imagine and create roles, scripts and ideas
  • listen and respond to sounds and patterns in speech, stories and rhymes in context
  • Explore sound and silence and ways of using their voices, movement and instruments to express ideas.

1. becoming capable of seeking and receiving assistance
2. expressing their feelings
3. be encouraged to express their views in line with their capabilities
4. outdoor play, an important activity for children to improve their language in cognitive development

Most of the language development occur when social interaction involve. In other words, children practice their language skills when they are interacting with others (parents, peers, educators, etc.)

Social Construction:
1. learn to constructively resolve conflict begins in infancy. 
2. learn to being with other, seeking and receiving help
3. learn to identify and accept their own and others's feelings, developing strong attachments and bonds. 

Not much about gender in this part but children are expected to continually acquire, refine and consolidate their motor functions and skills and integrate their skills across domains.
 
Elements like the effects of different languages on expressions]]> 2021-04-26 09:32:58 UTC https://padlet.com/amechristiansen4/aawjtsamdqwgefx8/wish/1458637430 Siyu Yang Seminar 2 https://padlet.com/amechristiansen4/aawjtsamdqwgefx8/wish/1459247073 Children respond verbally and non-verbally to what they see, hear, touch, feel and taste. They use language and representations from play, music and art to share and project meaning. Thus language occurs through play.

For social construction, children can contact with adults who model and respond to children’s oral and written messages, continue to strengthen the progression of learning. Community encourages children's social construction. One thing that needs to be included is effective communication between adults and children, and try to speak more to children.

Language development can be supported by the family, peers, and community. The initial development occurs in the family. The maintenance of the home language provide a solid support for children to have a strong sense of identity. Children feel safe and secure when their identity been respect. Identity can refers to gender, generally refers to how people will build their identity include gender identity.

Language development is key to identity construction as it is through language that we can begin to answer the big questions such as who am i? who are we? where do I belong? And so on. Maintaining a connection to home languages is also key to this outcome because the culture in which we are born into is integral to our comprehension of who were are. And as noted in the VEYLDF "Develop a vocabulary and practise the expression of emotions to describe how they feel in different familiar situations", therefore language development cannot be separated from this outcome. 
2. "A strong sense of identity enables a child to be confident, and to recognise and accept that in any social setting there are consequences for their actions and behaviours"- this implies that there are social rules that are constructed dependent on the different social contexts.
3. Nothing is said about gender explicitly, despite it being integral to one's identity construction.

Children's language development is being supported as they learn to express what they are thinking. As such, language development should occur throughout all learning processes as children are learning to express their understandings. This section also mentions that children's receptive language is often more advanced than their expressive language, stressing the importance of engaging and communicating with children through their learning.

‘Social construction’ is discussed in this outcome where it mentions that children are active learners engaging with others about their interests. They socially construct and shape their learning experiences based on collaboration and interaction between learners as well as between learners and teachers.

Nothing is specifically mentioned about gender and social expectations, however the final subsection of this outcome addresses children's connections with people and place as well as other things.

- Using language to communicate,  build relationship and engage with community and get a sense of belonging
- Cooperate with others and negotiate roles and relationship in play episodes and group experiences 
- Express themselves and their opinions that matter and affect them.
- Participate in a reciprocal relationship. Children are both students and teachers to adults. They teach adults to view the world through their lenses and learn from the adults through observation, modelling, imitating etc.

Language development needs to occur across all aspects of children's life, including hime environment, formal school settings, informal learning experience with peers and adults, etc.

As part of developing a strong sense of identity, "children feel safe, secure and supported" through the exploration of roles, characters and actions in dramatic play/improvisation. In a way, children get to express their ideas through language as they act out their roles and unpack how they interpret characters. In a way, children get to learn some vocabulary associated with their roles (i.e context-specific vocabulary)

There is a wealth of opportunities for language development as children are encouraged to explore and represent themselves. For example,  through dramatic play children are encouraged to explore ideas and characters.
2. Language development needs to occur in every aspect of a child's life, there are opportunities and moments for development in every situation. utilising the small moments or interactions is so beneficial in conjunction with planned experiences. 
3. Gender is not explicitly mentioned it is hinted at through "children feel recognised and respected for who they are", this lays a foundation for acceptance and exploration but doesn't give children that defined space to question gender or provide the resources for educators to really explore that. 
4. In reference to gender, a use or introduction of gender neutral terms should be introduced. Children need to be given the agency to decide, and in doing so educators need to provide the knowledge and a safe space to do so. ]]> 2021-04-30 00:10:15 UTC https://padlet.com/amechristiansen4/aawjtsamdqwgefx8/wish/1476275575 Wenxin YANG (Seminar 4) https://padlet.com/amechristiansen4/aawjtsamdqwgefx8/wish/1476278228
  • Can you find evidence of language development
    • Yes, there are plenty of evidence of language development. For example:
    1. Children develop the ability to mirror, repeat and practice the language of others. This includes children imitate or mimic the words and sentences spoken by other people. 
    2. Children explore ideas with imagination, creativity and play. When children are engaged in socio-dramatic play, they take up different roles and practice languages used by different characters. This fosters their awareness of semantics, syntax and language functions. 
    3. Children create and use representation to organise record and communicate ideas. From the perspective of multiliteracies, children's language development is multimodal, extending beyond traditional print-based ways (e.g., the inclusion of ICT), or linguistic aspects (e.g., the inclusion of diverse ways of expression/representation, drawing, building clays, even manipulating blocks). The language development is reflected through children learning to express themselves and make meanings in a range of ways.
    • Where does language development needs to occur?
    I think language development is incorporated in every aspects of learning across the curriculum (in different disciplines, not just literacy and arts, but STEM subjects as well). Language learning also occurs in different settings and contexts during children's play and social interaction. 
    • Can you find evidence of ‘social construction’
    Yes. This outcome mentions children develop dispositions for cooperation and commitment. It also mentions that children learn through connecting with people and place. Their learning is shaped by interaction with people (family and community) and interaction with the environment (more-than-human beings).  
    • What is/is not being said about gender and associated language and social expectation?
    Gender is not directly mentioned in this outcome. But it mentions that children use reflective thinking to think about why things happen and the lessons that can be taken away from their experience. This could be an opportunity to reflect on issues regarding gender. 
    • What needs to be included in this outcome to ensure language development in this area?
    Questions from ECTs (e.g., asking a girl, why do you want to be a princess when you were in role play or do you want to be a knight?). This is to challenge children to be critical about their behaviours,  disrupting the gender assumptions in children's mind.

Their language skills are demonstrated in their description of what happens and how they feel in positive interactions or conflicts. children's language development occures in multiple dailly routines including classrooms and homes. In terms of social construction, children are active citizens with rights and responsibilities, and they respect and assist others from diverse social backgrounds when building reciprocal relationships. They also express concerns for the environment and nature. Gender issues are indicated in raising children's awareness for fairness with critical thinking about gender differences and stereotypes.]]> 2021-04-30 00:19:37 UTC https://padlet.com/amechristiansen4/aawjtsamdqwgefx8/wish/1476296373 Leslie Bokobza ( group 4) https://padlet.com/amechristiansen4/aawjtsamdqwgefx8/wish/1476299973 This outcome is about communication and how children express themselves, including oral and written language. It also involves multiliteracies and a number of other forms of expression. Language development is clearly stated, for both reception and expression skills and it needs to occur through a wide range of experiences and modelling.
    'Social construction' is discussed throughout the outcomes, e.g. in the 5.1 ''Children interact verbally and non-verbally with others for a range of purposes'', where it emphasizes the crucial role of relationships in the development of communication and language.
    Nothing is really stated about gender norms and social expectations. In the ''5.2 Children engage with a range of texts and gain meaning from these texts '', it could include a recommandation about the importance of representations and having a range of texts with children/families of different ethnicities, family composition, gender and identities etc.

Evidence of language development: Evidence of langauge development is weaved through the  Outcome 5 in VEYLDF, as children continously engage with environemental prints, conventional  speech and writing through various modes of communications (art making, dance, sing, etc.). This development is also scaffolded by the adult/educator through modeling, shared-thinking and inquires. In EYLF, the evidence of development is strongly linked to children's communication and self-expression through play. As play is the foundation for children to communicate and express with peers and themselves through various forms of languages and in multiple contexts (collaboration, negotiation, sustained shared thinking, problem-solving, role play).
    2. Where to occur:
    The development occurs through play, home literacy environment, as well as every day life daily rountine, where adults can scaffold children's language development through adult-led and child-initeated activities. 
    3. Evidence of social construction:
    The evidecne of social construction is threaed through children's play as their mening-making. In VEYLF, the aquisition of  home language allows children to form social construction with community, as well as community members. Children also construct social identity through role play, as children take on different social roles in play through effective communications. 
    4. What is not being said:
    The gender stereotype and gender role comformity realted in children's  social dramatic play, as well as other kinds of play is not being addressed. The associated language in this aspect is kind of general, as the emphasis of the learning framwork is on the dvelopment of language through play in various micro social groups. The social expectance does not tightly associated with gender role in children's communication and play. 
    5. What needed to be included to ensure child's langauge development: 
    For educators to provide enriched print in environment that intentionally challenges gender role conformity (such as books like "Mister Seahorse", or book about Madam Curie) 
    For educators to engage children to play different roles during role play (for example, assign girls to play prince, and boys to play princesses or queens), through which children explore language through different gender roles. ]]>     2021-04-30 00:48:53 UTC https://padlet.com/amechristiansen4/aawjtsamdqwgefx8/wish/1476379585     Melody(MENG) LI- Seminar 5 https://padlet.com/amechristiansen4/aawjtsamdqwgefx8/wish/1476383203 Evidence of language developement is illustrated when:

Children use language to interact with each other, to display care, respect and empathy to other children. Language is one of the ways they can express their thoughts and emotions effectively, and through these interactions children develop their identity. Educators should support children's use of home language to express themselves, so that they can confidently express their cultural identity. 
    2. Language development can occur at home, at the early childhood setting and during play. Any conversation can be a language development opportunity, and even eye contact can be a form of language. Educators need to be intentional during activities, and develop opportunities for children to discuss and interact. Children are capable of having deep conversations about pressing issues, so educators can acknowledge children's potential and have realistic conversations and allow children to contribute to the discussion. 
    3. There is definitely social construction in terms of how gender is represented in language learning experiences. Are children supported in a gender neutral environment? Are children restricted to gender typed play? Do educators talk about gender and discuss with children about gender stereotypes? In my placement I can definitely see that teachers encourage children to defy gender stereotypes, by placing dolls of different gender and colour and by having a gender neutral colour scheme in the room-brown, green, etc.
    4. I think encouraging children to think about their identity and what they want to be, regardless of gender stereotypes is important. Children need to have a voice in their language learning experiences, and educators should provide experiences that support children's expression.

Children are also encouraged to express their opinions as well as listening to and respecting others' ideas. 
     
    Language development needs to occur in every setting and aspect of children, including their family, school and community. Through connections, children use their language to interact with and listen to each other reciprocally. 
     
    'Social construction' is described in this learning outcome when children contribute in social settings that strengthens their sense of identity and belonging, while acknowledging the impact of physical and social environment on children's lives. 
     
    Gender and social expectations are not specifically mentioned in this learning outcome. However, it did state the importance of children contributing to democratic decision-making that affect them and the importance of being aware of similarities and differences between themselves and others. To ensure language development in this area, teachers have the role to set up classroom activities that promotes gender equality. ]]>     2021-04-30 00:56:17 UTC https://padlet.com/amechristiansen4/aawjtsamdqwgefx8/wish/1476401239     He "Oscar" Luo (Seminar 5) https://padlet.com/amechristiansen4/aawjtsamdqwgefx8/wish/1476496391 Learning outcome: Children interact verbally and non-verbally with others for a range of purposes. This is evident when children:
    • engage in enjoyable reciprocal interactions using verbal and non-verbal language. This could be listen to and respond orally to texts and to the communication of others in informal and structured classroom situations using interaction skills, including listening, while others speak.
    • contribute their ideas and experiences in play and small and large group discussion. This could be Engage in conversations and discussions, using active listening, showing interest, and contributing ideas, information and questions, taking turns and recognising the contributions of others.

Also, it is very symbolic in language and literature learning development. In the classroom, children are exposed to language activities and many setting for development. Also, they identified themselves so well. For example, one child moves to the next room, but he keeps trying to come back to the possum room which is accustomed to being in. He feels that his identity is belonging there. "Children who have a strong sense of identity feel comfortable within local, social and cultural practices important in their lives." We can check it in VEYLDF.
    Children are always being exposed to the cultural practices which are already in social, local, and classroom.

By being able to express themselves, children are able to interact with others on a more complex level. They are able to forge bonds, to express their opinions and ideas, to express their emotion, to argue and to resolve. Language development can occur in all settings, and personally I think it is more beneficial for the children to explore language in multiple settings. The social construction of gender identity is not explicitly stated. However, some educators (at least at my placement) do try to defy stereotypical gender construct by allowing children to dress up as anything they want during play, by placing dolls of different gender and colour and having them wear neutral clothings (not girls wear dress and boys wear pants.). The outcome should also include statements about encouraging children to also develop their mother tongue. Given Australia community consisted of people from diverse background, an abundant number of children will also speak a second language besides language.

    Children are effective communicators. Their social interaction takes many forms such as gestures, verbalism, writing, drawing, collaborative learning etc. 

    Social expectation:
    With the development of science and technology, children can use digital technology and multimedia resources to communicate, play and learn. They learn to use and create simple texts and choose content, form and vocabulary in their writing. As a result, they can create and display their information in a way that suits different audiences and purposes.

Children need to feel safe in their environment and some of the ways they can achieve this is by use of appropriate words to express their feelings at any particular time. Culturally, language development is of utmost importance as often there is a need to connect to one's heritage and culture. Although this can be done in many ways, language is a way of exploring elements of a culture but communication in a mother tongue is sometimes very symbolic to people and also a way families operate cohesively, for eg, grandparents might not speak English therefore it might be very important to speak the family language.

    - Children acquire vocabulary related to emotions and how these emotions are expressed (verbally and non-verbally)
    - They are able to name parts of the body, and describe how their bodies are growing and changing.
    - Use music, dance, and other story telling techniques to express themselves
    - Using social language in group settings and for conflict resolution

    Social Construction
    - Working with other children in group settings.
    - Conflict resolution
    - How our emotions affect self and others and how they can express their emotions in an appropriate way.

    Gender/Associated Language and Social Expectations
    - Not only should emotional expression be included here, but the use of inclusive language should also be included. 
    - There is a large focus on individual development and not much on development of children as a social group. It would be beneficial to have more on that as humans are social beings and class culture is built on socialization between one another. Classroom culture becomes important as there might be numerous moments gender stereotypes come into play (She can't play with that because she's a girl).

    • engage in enjoyable reciprocal interactions using verbal and non-verbal language
    • respond verbally and non-verbally to what they see, hear, touch, feel and taste
    • convey and construct messages with purpose and confidence, building on literacies of home and/or family and the broader community
    • exchange ideas, feelings and understandings using language and representations in play
    • etc
    These developments happen in schools, communities and families. Children need both adults' leading and peer interactions.

    social construction evidence:
    • share the stories and symbols of their own cultures and re-enact well-known stories

    The gender and associated language has not been discussed yet. I think “Being able to understand gender differences and boundaries，and being able to communicate equally with people of different genders.“ may need to be included in the outcomes.

    language development evidence:
    1. children could use gestures, movement, non-verbal cues, sounds, language to engage in a  communication, reciprocal interactions and form relationship
    2. Children understand symbols and pattern systems
    3. Children use language and representations from play, music and art to share and project meaning
    4. Children could express their ideas 

    Social construction: 
    Children learning how to communicate in verbal/ non-verbal way through interaction with peers and adults. They learn social behaviours when they witness how other people talk and behave in certain social contexts. There is no evidence of gender-related language expectation. I think inclusion should also be included in this area, as there are many different types of languages and understating diversity and show respect are also importance for a effective communicator in this global world, hence, acknowledgement of culture diversity should also be included in this outcome

    • share aspects of their culture with other children and educators. For example, children may share in imaginary play situations with their peers and in this peer learning environment, children both express aspects of their own identity and learn about other children’s identities.

Children: 
    - interact with their natural and social world both verbally and non-verbally. 
    - people around children play a significant role in promoting their language development. These people can be teachers, parents, care givers, and peers. Children observe and learn what has been taught. For example, the adult points to a car and says "A car."

    • develop their social and cultural heritage through engagement with Elders and community members
    It promotes that children are encouraged to use their home languages and understand the culture of their family. This is significant to promote children's self identity. "Social construction" is  found when children are offered to engage with Elders and community members to co-construct knowledge. 
    In the sub outcome, it mentions that children can use dramatic play to explore different identities, which  can involve diverse roles in society. However, it does not specifically mention about gender and the way of viewing gender in diverse cultural perspectives. Thus, the outcome may include children's exploration and development of critical thinking from diverse cultural perspectives. Also, it should include the importance of allowing children to use their home languages in classroom.

    Language is used in maintaining conversations, it is evident when children contribute their ideas and also to make sense of what others are saying. These interactions enables children to form social constructs and aware of other people's ideas. It could be used in play as well as expressing their feelings and understandings. Although nonverbal communication assist children's learning, language allows children to convey and receiving greater ideas. 

    Gender, associated language and social expectations
    This outcome did not mention how gender is involved in communication. However it did mention how children could use language to create roles in symbolic play (this may be a gendered role). Social expectation associated with language and communication may be when children reaches certain language milestones.

    Language development is evident when children communicate their needs for comfort and assistance, use their home language to construct meaning, and openly express their feelings and ideas in their interactions with others. Language development occurs in daily life in social settings such as family, community, early childhood services, and schools. Social construction occurs when children establish and maintain respectful, trusting relationships with other children and educators, increasingly cooperate and work collaboratively with others, share aspects of their culture with other children and educators, and display awareness of and respect for others’ perspectives.

    Children interact with others both verbally and non-verbally to form connections and exchange ideas and feelings. Infants communicate from birth through sounds (e.g. crying), facial expressions (e.e. smiling, eye contact), and gestures. At later years children continue to develop and language and communication skills when adults around them respond to their efforts to ‘tell’ others about what they need or want. The development of language is evident when children use language and representations from play, music, and art to share and project meaning.

Further it describes children’s engagement of language to communicate and interact with the world in a range of ways.
    2.Language development needs to be occurred from very early years of life with the help of adults who are around the children such as parents, families and early childhood professionals.

    3.We can find evidence of ‘social construction’ in outcome 5 where it mentions interaction of children with others to explore ideas and concepts, clarify and challenge thinking, negotiate and share new understandings. It also discusses how children use communication to express ideas and feelings and understand and respect the perspectives of others

    4. The Outcome discusses the importance of keeping the first language is important for children’s identity, wellbeing, communication and learning. Including diverse societies and recognizing the importance of their language preferences support the evidence to the social expectations. Gender is not specifically mentioned.

    - Children are required to interact verbally and non-verbally with each other for a range of purposes and engage with various texts. This involves the expression of their ideas and thoughts as well as listening to others and group discussion
    - Language development can be found in various media such as story sharing, symbols in children’s culture like drama, dancing, drawing or movement. 

    Evidence of ‘social construction’
    - Social construction is the language that children used. It comes up when children first learn to take turns in communication exchanges by daily communication and activities such as interacting with others, exploring sound or songs.

    This language development needs to occur when they engage in conversations and discussions, using active listening, showing interest, and contributing ideas, information and questions, taking turns and recognising the contributions of others. 

    Social Construction is evident when the children express their ideas and explain their thinking. 

    There is nothing said about gender.

For example, laughing, smiling, shaking hands or nodding. According to the VEYLDF, children can use all kinds of languages to express themselves. It would be better if minority language learning contents could be added into this outcome.

    As for the evidence of 'social construction', children can rely on their interactions to build relationships among peers through activities. They have their own ways and 'ciphers' to communicate with each other and the conversation could go on under their own leading.

    While the information about gender is not mentioned. I guess probably it's too objective to limit or define children's genders and educators need to build an inclusive and open communicative environment for children.]]>     2021-05-03 09:43:45 UTC https://padlet.com/amechristiansen4/aawjtsamdqwgefx8/wish/1484499609     Emma Collins https://padlet.com/amechristiansen4/aawjtsamdqwgefx8/wish/1484696100 Children interact verbally and non-verbally with others for a range of purposes

    Language is a key tool in communication. This sub theme highlights how children engage with others and content using verbal and non verbal language. For example engaging in conversations with others and understanding different forms of communication. This sub theme encourages language development in the area of communication and how it can be used in a variety of ways (verbal, print, dance) to express thoughts feelings and emotions.  

    This outcome could be updated to include ICT technologies and how it can be used as a tool for language development. ICT can be used for many things but by listing it under this outcome (along with every other outcome) could assist in how it can be used for specific goals. ]]>     2021-05-03 11:25:20 UTC https://padlet.com/amechristiansen4/aawjtsamdqwgefx8/wish/1484696100     Octavia Pini opini https://padlet.com/amechristiansen4/aawjtsamdqwgefx8/wish/1488404521 Evidence of language development: The VEYLDF includes, maintenance of first home language has a significant and continuing construction of identity + strengthening multilingual capabilities. 
    Where does language development need to occur? For children to have a strong sense of identity language development needs to occur at early years learning centre, school, home and within the community. 
    Can you find evidence of social construction? Sense of identity is itself socially constructed. the VEYLDF states that identify is unique to each child and defines who people are, what shapes their interests and how they come to view the people and events around them. This is an example of socially constructed world.
    Gender: There is no mention of gender and social expectation. this could be an opportunity to include gender and how it impacts identity. Particularly when we talk about family and community involvement creates a string sense of identity. For example, families with same gender parents. More conversation around children with same sex parents should be included.

Language develops as the child identifies with the people around them (family, community, environment) and the language they speak. The language spoken by the people around a child becomes the first language that they will learn and communicate in.
    A child’s language and other activities are shaped by the things done by the society surrounding them, and at the basic level the social construction comes from the child’s close family members. Also, the children learn that they have a right to belong to many communities. Additionally, children become aware of right and wrong and understand that people in society are different.
    Children identify with gender, for instance the boys get to know what the society expects them to do or how they should behave. The girls also become aware of how they are supposed to carry themselves out. This comes as a social construct because these are the norms that the society around these children expect them to follow.
    As educators we can encourage language learning by incorporating more action based learning activities that prompt the children to use language. More activities that require communicating should be encouraged. Educators can incorporate Mediating teaching strategies such as Scaffolding, Modelling, Co-constructing to encourage and support children to construct knowledge and reality for themselves.
