Oral language development and the impact of children’s literature 1
All the children nowadays learn the rules and regulations of their language from a
very early age by the use and overtime without any formal instruction. One of the sources of
learning is genetics. Apart from this, the human beings are born with skills of speaking. They
have a natural skill of figuring out the rules of language by the environment. The
environment is one of the most vital factors. Often the young children use those languages
that they hear people speak around them. Children often try to imitate them and learn it.
Along with learning to walk, learning to talk also requires a lot of time for practice and
development in day-to-day situations. It has been seen that if someone constantly tries to fix a
child speech it can get unproductive. Many researches show that children are born to speak
and also to socially interact even before they are able to use words they talk through gestures
there only point is to make connections with others. Language is a thing that comes through
genes or environment or by a child’s own thinking (Bygate, 2013).
What is oral language and how do they learn it?
Oral language is a very complicated system that is actually related to sound and I
usually made of three important components syntactic, semantics and phonological. First, one
is the syntactic component; this actually includes the regulations that are needed to unite the
morphemes interested in sentences. As soon as the child is able to use two monochromes
together, they are thought to be learning how to use two monochromes together in order to
convey a meaning. Second is the semantic component: this includes things such as
morphemes that mean the smallest unit of meanings that can be combined together in order to
make up sentence or even words. For example a dictionary which have language components
and the words which are important. Lastly the phonological component: this involves
combination of two sounds. For example, the speakers of English. In this, people are not
aware of the rules but they have ability to pronounce and understand. Oral language lay the
groundwork for reading and the writing skills in children that help in developing as they enter
the progress through school(Bygate, Skehan & Swain, 2013). They make use of oral language
in all the aspects of the education. They use it when they contact to their teachers or to the
peers and also throughout their lives from the time that they grow to their adulthood. If
children have a solid foundation they are able to become more successful readers and even
strong communicators which also builds up their confidence and give them a sense of
wellbeing. Oral language has the six following areas:

Phonology: this means the sound system with language. This system is used for the
basic speaking and listening, which the young children develop. It has things such as rhymes,
segmenting sound that are manipulating. It is one of the most complex levels as well.
Vocabulary: this focus on both receptive and expressive vocabulary, Expressive
refers to the word that the children use on an everyday basis while talking ad writing while
the repetitive vocab means the words that children understand
Grammar: As the children start learning, the oral skills of language they also try to
develop acceptance of grammar, it is a set of rules that are preside over by the grouping of
phrases and words the which are then used in sentences—and how sentences are combined
into paragraphs.
Morphology: it is occasionally used as a separation of syntax or language
morphology is a thing, which is always determined on the small units of the meaning in a
word and the rules of how those words are formed. For instance, if one examines the word
“cats,” a basic examination would show there are four phonemes (/k/, /a/, /t/ and /s/).
Pragmatics: it is said to be hidden curriculum in a classroom. It focuses on social use
of language. It includes the social norms. In some of the classroom settings the students who
lack the background experience, feature to the cultural differences in some of the situations.
Understanding different situations help the students to be more successfully in
comprehensions at the later stages, which includes both the reading and listening
comprehension.
Communication: written and oral communication is known as a very significant
skill. For example, narrative story telling also follows a precise format. This part is those
parts that describe the main characters, the resolution and the conflicts. In this reading use of
a story, structure is important in command to write narrative, understand, and read it. This
form of writing follows a lot of different and of structures, which are persuasive, cause,
effect, difference and compare. It is important for the students to appreciate these structures
by understanding the comprehension. it is first very important for them to comprehend and
tell stories in different formats before they can begin to write those kinds of stories.
