The Mother of All Languages
Now that my daughter’s language skills are starting in earnest to develop and unfold, I find myself thinking about Frederick the II, that once Emperor who wanted to test whether Latin was the one natural language of all mankind. Frederick felt that a child, left untouched by human language or nurturance, would blossom to maturity with the sounds of Latin on his lips. Of course, Frederick’s experiment failed. The child died before words could ever be formed from his breath. But that leads me to thinking about the possibility of Norwegian being the MOAL (Mother of All Languages).

Dramatic Exercises in the Norwegian Language Class
Performance skits are fairly common sights in a language classroom. Skits are popular because they give the student an opportunity not only to come up with a dialogue script, but also to play with pronunciation and language performance anxiety. One of the drawbacks in using these kinds of skits, however, is the fact that many students use one of two strategies that aren't particularly helpful. How do you, as a Norwegian teacher, avoid this?

Learning Norwegian through Mnemonics and Visual Imagery (Part I of II)
Learners have often used mnemonic (memory aid) strategies when studying complex material, but this strategy has been less frequently and explicitly used in the study of language. For those of you who are learning Norwegian (or teaching Norwegian), I outline four basic approaches to mnemonic language learning below and briefly discuss the evidence for its application to cognitive processes.

Norwegian Word Play (Part I of II)
I’ve heard it said that you don’t really know a language until you get the jokes. This is particularly true with Norwegian, where so many of the jokes rely on clever word play and puns. I see no reason, however, why you can’t learn language through the study of word play. Not only are jokes a fun way to approach language learning, they’re also chock-full of cultural information and can make great conversation starters (so long as you watch who you’re talking to).

Language "Deviances/Delays" vs Language "Differences"
Not all language and speech "errors" are "errors". Sometimes people, because of their social/cultural, dialectal or ethnic background, may seem to have big problems speaking. This is not always the case. Data has been collected for many different ethnicities and some of these "problems" are really normal to them as they learn to use the English language more proficiently. Hence, they are labeled differences and not delays.

Oral Language and Its Contribution to Reading Development
As more and more teachers are realizing the importance of oral language and its contribution to reading development, the search is on for helpful online resources in this area.  I've chosen to focus, this month, on helping readers to access information about the stages of normal oral language development in early childhood and how these stages are woven  into the framework of early reading skills.  Next month (in November), I'll continue with this topic by providing you with a manageable beginning list of online oral language activities that are appropriate for elementary students and older learners struggling to learn English for first time or simply learning what language skills work in certain situations.
