Uniformity of Language Development Sequence
Worldwide babies learn to speak about the same time…and
They go through about the same stages: babble---one word, two words, sentences,.. (Lightbown & Spada, 2013)
+
Why do we need a “language”?
to communicate with each other…
It is the combination of symbolic ability and social need…
+
Language’s rule systems
Phonology
Morphology (word rules such as plurals, tense, etc.)
Syntax (Grammatical rules that govern sentence structure)
Semantics (Meaning of words)
Pragmatics (Using language in different contexts)
(Lightbown & Spada, 2013)
+Very sadly, our traditional ways of teaching discourage the process of inquiry. It makes the student get less prone to asking questions as they move through their grade levels, they are just expected to listen and repeat the expected answers.

A good learning must have the ability to engage learners.
+
You need books to “display” the integrated ideas….
+ MELS introduces…..Six essential parts in English language learning
A to Z-Words & Images-Words & Sounds-Words descriptions-Phonics sounds (Single letters)
BASIC READING-Words & meanings-Basic reading-Responsive conversations-Phonics (CVC)
CRITICAL READING-Words & meanings-Critical reading-Phonics (Phonograms)-Expressive conversations-Grammar
