"Language and Social Disadvantage" critically analyses and reviews
the development of language in direct relation to social
disadvantage in the early years and beyond. Definitions and
descriptions of social disadvantage are addressed and wider aspects
discussed. Theory and practice in relation to language development
and social disadvantage are explored.
The book is divided into two sections: the first addresses the
theoretical associations and relationships between social
disadvantage and language, where cognition, literacy, behaviour,
learning, socio-emotional development, intervention and outcomes
are considered in depth. The second section applies the theory to
practice, where real-life intervention studies in nurseries,
schools and other contexts are reported. Research and practice
based in the UK is a focus of all the chapters and research
reports.
A genuinely interdisciplinary and collaborative approach is
taken using perspectives from speech and language therapy,
psychology and education. The book is ideal for professionals and
students interested in the study of language development and
intervention in the context of social disadvantage.
