Many resources are available to help us continue to develop our knowledge of language acquisition. As professionals, you will need to identify and evaluate the resources available to you. Please spend some time evaluating professional resources linked to language acquisition.

For this discussion, choose a specific language acquisition topic to explore further. Several examples include our previous topics of bilingualism, communication disorders, language developmental stages, brain research, supportive language acquisition practices, family support of language acquisition, etc. Write the topic you explored in the subject line of your discussion post. Then, provide three sources that can be used to learn more about this topic. Your sources may include a journal article, webpage, video, research, podcast, etc. Include links where appropriate, and be sure to cite all sources in APA format.

Your 300-350 word post should include the following for each selected source:

• Summary of the resource
• How it supports language acquisition in children
• How you will use it specifically for your future professional role
• An APA-formatted reference of the source so your peers can access and review it

Please use the chapter attached and use in-text citations to complete the assignment.
