| Paste a text for analysis | Skinner was a behaviour theorist. His main theory was that he believed that children learnt language from others through imitation and reinforcement. So it's more likely that if positive behaviour was imitated and people liked it, they'd praise it and therefore the child was more likely to repeat it. Chomsky was different. He's very natural in the sense that he believes in a biological theory. He suggested that there was a language acquisition device which naturally is something biological in the head, that a child is born and therefore through exposure of language, I.e. mom and dad, they were able to learn language naturally, as in recognise signs, sounds and words without necessarily being taught every word. Bruno was different. So his theory is all about interaction and the importance of social interaction. So he believed that adults support children's language and the more you spoke to children, the more that there was complexity of the language and more structure in the language. There was almost a scaffolding approach, meaning children's language would get better and better all the time. But if there was no interaction, children wouldn't learn this speech, they wouldn't learn the complexity or structure and therefore they would be at a disadvantage. Piaget believed that there were stages of development, and he believed that through these stages you have to complete one after another in order to build gradually. He believes that development is complex. For example, children need to understand things before they can talk. Children need to understand things before they can walk. It's possible that everything's about them while they're learning. They learn things bit by bit. It's through memory and repetition and recognise and experience that children are thinking, experiencing, learning, language. Alongside this, there is a massive nature and nurture influence in language development. Speech and language aren't necessities of life. They are the foundation to all learning and development. And without this communication, our learning and development wouldn't happen. So, for example, if somebody was to express themselves, they would have to engage in experience, learn from lessons, form relationships with people in order to feel those attachments and feel confident. Social development shows us that children use language to make friends. And sometimes friendships do not go well, so they need the same communication skills in order to solve conflicts. People who can't solve conflicts are poor communicators and this leads to social isolation. Emotional development is whether somebody can express their feelings or not. If you didn't have language, you'd feel frustrated, you couldn't tell anyone your needs and you would be withdrawn. Cognitive development is essential. In class, we ask questions, we thrive on instruction, we want to present new ideas and we can't do this without communicating. So cognitive development is important. And when our social development, emotional development or cognitive development isn't going well, that affects us as individuals. That gives us no resilience whatsoever. It affects our behaviour. Because of these lack of communication skills, because our behaviour is so bad, it means that children can't explain what they feel. Again, it leads them to social isolation, intellectual isolation, emotional isolation. So holistically language is so important. There is a difference between short term impacts and long term impacts. Long term impacts is about the right support. It's about whether a child is progressing academically or socially or whether they fell behind. So it's through these skills that children achieve and based on their achievement is access to future education and employment. Sometimes if individuals experience problems academically, this can encourage difficult experiences and difficulties with confidence in communication as they approach adulthood. Short term impacts are quite different e.g for example, somebody may struggle to join a group or an activity or they can't follow instructions because the language is too complex or they can't build relationships which can be seen in some conditions like autism. If people are misunderstood, they feel left out and this could affect both resilience and self esteem. |

The text contains several grammatical errors, such as improper sentence structures and run-on sentences. For example, the sentence "So it's more likely that if positive behaviour was imitated and people liked it, they'd praise it and therefore the child was more likely to repeat it" is quite convoluted. Additionally, punctuation, such as commas and full stops, is often misused or omitted.
Score: 6/10
The major theorists (Skinner, Chomsky, Bruner, Piaget) and their theories are mentioned but not always accurately represented. For example:
No specific dates are mentioned for historical context, which is a gap in factual correctness.
Score: 5/10
The writing lacks coherence, as thoughts are often poorly linked. The flow could be improved, and the repetition of ideas detracts from clarity. The use of "for example," and "it's possible that" phrases can become redundant.
Score: 5/10
The text appears original in its phrasing, but it lacks citations for terms and theories, which is essential in academic writing. The concepts should be referenced to their original theorists for credibility.
Score: 7/10
While the text tangentially touches upon aspects of supporting teaching and learning, the connections made between language development and educational support could be more explicit. The implications of language development on teaching practices are not sufficiently explored.
Score: 6/10
Key terms like “scaffolding,” “cognitive development,” and “social development” are mentioned but not adequately defined. A clearer explanation and definition of each term would enhance understanding.
