How Children Acquire Language
Explain the stages of first language acquisition in children, from babbling to complex sentence formation. Discuss the major theories of language acquisition (nativist, behaviorist, interactionist) and describe the evidence that supports or challenges each theory. What role does the environment play in shaping a child's language development?
An academic essay develops and supports a central idea in a formal register. It is judged on a clear thesis, logically organised paragraphs, relevant support, and disciplined, objective language.
1. Introduction
~60 words- Introduce the topic and provide enough context to orient the reader.
- End with a clear, specific thesis statement that controls the whole essay.
e.g. “While technology has reshaped how students learn, its impact on deep comprehension remains contested.”
2. Body Paragraphs (one idea each)
~110 words each- Open each paragraph with a topic sentence linked to the thesis.
- Develop the point with explanation, evidence, and analysis.
- End with a sentence that ties the point back to the thesis or bridges to the next.
→ “Building on this point, a second factor to consider is …”
3. Conclusion
~55 words- Restate the thesis in new words and synthesise the main points.
- Close with the wider significance of the argument — no new evidence.
e.g. “Taken together, these points suggest that …”
Common Pitfalls
- A thesis that is too broad or merely descriptive. It should make a specific, arguable claim.
- Informal language — contractions, slang, "you". Academic writing keeps a formal, objective register.
Writing Tips
- Every paragraph should be testable against the thesis — if it does not support it, cut or revise it.
- Integrate evidence smoothly and always follow it with your own analysis.
Turns on the first-language analysis — which of your errors are the ones speakers of your language typically make, and why. It's the part of the report people tell us they can't get anywhere else.
