Language development in young school-aged children: factors and educational strategies

Language development in early school-age children is a fundamental domain of early education, significantly influencing their academic and social performance. This study examines the factors affecting language acquisition and development, including cognitive, social, and educational aspects. Additionally, it explores effective strategies for stimulating language in school settings, emphasizing interactive methods and modern technologies. A case study conducted on a sample of 30 first and second-grade students confirms the impact of didactic strategies on vocabulary expansion and communication skills. The results highlight that educational games, story telling, and dialogue-based methods are more effective than traditional approaches. The study contributes to an integrated perspective on linguistic education and provides recommendations for improving the school curriculum.
