Please create a 10-slide Power Point presentation about language development, based on the following situation:
At your church, there is a woman of the congregation whose child is struggling with language. This woman knows you are studying psychology and approaches you after a church service with some questions. She is clearly concerned about her 1 year-old daughter, who is only babbling and saying a few words like “mama, “dada,” “babba,” and “hi.” The woman indicates she believes her daughter should be speaking in full sentences by now and is worried there might be something wrong with her development. As you listen to the woman’s concerns, you believe her daughter seems to be developing normal language skills, given her age. You offer to provide some information about normal language development to help ease her fears. The woman is relieved and enthusiastic about your offer and asks if you would consider sharing this information with other parents at the church who have young children. You agree to create a presentation regarding an overview of language.
For this presentation, there should be 8 slides of text, plus a title slide and a reference slide. Each slide should contain 3-4 bullet points of content (complete sentences are not necessary, but the bullet points should each contain enough text to sufficiently communicate your thoughts). Each slide should contain examples and also visual graphics to enhance the presentation. Please follow the guidelines below to structure your presentation:
Slide 1: title slide
Slide 2: introduction. This slide should provide an overview the presentation, including the topic, the audience, and why this presentation will be helpful.
Slides 3-4: language comprehension. These slides should discuss how people understand language. What are the components of language comprehension? Examples should be provided. Your thoughts about how language comprehension might be applied to real life should be included.
