Once again, I got lost in the labyrinthian corridors of the University of York Language &amp; Linguistic Science department, this time to speak to Tamar Keren-Portnoy about first language acquisition. There’s a lot of similarities between how we learn our first language and how we acquire our second language, so it’s a useful topic for ESL / EFL / second language teachers. She gives us insights into such things as how babies develop syntax/grammar norms, why they learn some words earlier than others, how babies are not simply mimicking their caretakers and, through her own research with Rory DePaolis &amp; Marilyn Vihman, how babies learn through listening and the sounds they themselves make. You may remember Marilyn Vihman from episode 9 of MOT. Later in the year, I’ll release a mini-episode about the developmental stages of babies.
