This book presents overwhelming evidence of the positive impact of
language training and filial language learning. By surveying and
condensing the rich empirical findings that have been established
over the last 35 years, Moerk specifies how relatively
straightforward the training and learning interactions are. By
surveying also the known relationship between less than optimal
language training and delayed acquisition of even deficient
end-products, the professional, whether in a clinical or
educational setting, can also infer what interactional flaws to
avoid. An extensive list of references provides detailed support
for the arguments presented; support that shows that many of the
fashionable denials of "the teachability" or "the learnability" of
language have been disproved empirically. Lastly, the tens of
thousands of children with language delay or deficiency are, though
not a direct audience of the book, intended as the main
beneficiaries. As professionals focusing on remedies are lead back
from airy speculations of innate knowledge--and therefore
pessimistic inferences is this knowledge if not shown in
behavior--and are shown how language skills can be transmitted.
Their clients can gain not only language skills, but could reap
educational and professional success.
