  • Emily's Song: A Case Study of Egocentric Speech
    Early Childhood Education Journal, 1999
    Co-Authors: Patricia E. Calderwood
    Abstract:

    Learning to be a competent language user may be the most complex task human beings undertake, yet the one most taken for granted. This paper examines a song spontaneously created and sung by a 44-month-old child. The song, an element of bath-time play, weaves a chapter in her ongoing self-narrative, disclosing not only her sense of herself as a developing person, but also revealing her struggle with this development. Examination of the relation of the structure and functions of the song demonstrates that it is a variation of Egocentric Speech clearly connected to her thinking and not merely a tuneful accompaniment to her imaginative play. Early childhood educators and care-givers often witness similar episodes of language use among children engrossed in play in school settings. Observation of the form and content of such language use can provide the early childhood teacher or caregiver with information about a child's language development, sense of self, and readiness for formal and informal literacy experiences, which presume a developing facility and competence in thinking through language.

  • Integration Theory:Vogsky's Ideas on Language Acquisition
    Journal of University of South China, 2020
    Co-Authors: Chen Jing-jun
    Abstract:

    The theories about language acquisition in history mainly include empiricism rationalism and constructionism,but all these theories can't explain the whole process of L2 acquisition.Vogsky put forward the integration theory and he thought that the symbol for people to master a language is to use it to think,that is to say,Speech and thought should be closely connected with each other.The root for the integration of Speech and thought lies in external communication activities and its process is from external Speech to Egocentric Speech and then to internal Speech.This theory provides us a new theoretical explanation for L2 acquisition.

  • On the Mutual Complementarity Between Vygotsky’s and Piaget’s Theories: From the Perspective of Egocentric Speech
    Journal of Shaoguan University, 2020
    Co-Authors: Zhu Shi-ping
    Abstract:

    There are differences between Vygotsky’s and Piaget’s psychological Speech theories,in which their different interpretations of Egocentric Speech is one major debated point.Piaget explains the individual development from the biological perspective while Vygotsky focuses on the influences of social cultural development.Egocentric Speech is a kind of aimless language in Piaget’s view while it has social interacting function in Vygotsky’s theory.Neverthless,we still can find the mutual complementarity in their theories from the perspective of Egocentric Speech: the human developmental process,Speech and cognition as well as adult’s and peer’s different influences on individual development.
