Project T03

Variability in speech input as a tool in language support and therapy for young children

PI(s): Prof. Dr. Barbara Höhle, Prof. Dr. Adamantios Gafos & Prof. Dr. Jan Lonnemann

Project T03 aims to translate the findings from CRC project C03 on the supportive effects of variability in language input on word learning into practical applications for promoting children's language development. Embedded in a larger project to recruit and place volunteer language mentors in kindergartens, T03 will develop training modules and practical materials for language mentors that take the effects of variability into account. An evaluation study will assess the effectiveness of this variability-based support. The project collaborates with several non-commercial educational and social institutions.
