Overview

Much of language development occurs well before children are even able to use language. Once children begin to acquire language, their growth is accelerated because of the close link between language and cognition. While each child has a unique developmental path, language development has more similarities than differences. While children may reach different stages of language development at different times, the progression through those stages remains relatively stable. This course will focus on the developmental milestones in a child's life from birth until age five with each period including a general overview of development and detail regarding the linguistic development.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
