Накратко на български

Дигиталните технологии, като таблети и роботи, се изследват за влиянието им върху начина, по който децата развиват речта си. Това помага да се разбере дали тези инструменти могат да оптимизират езиковото обучение в мултикултурни или терапевтични среди.

Early Language Development in the Digital Age

Research on the impact of digital technologies on children’s communication and language development is still scarce and highly fragmented with no unitary approach across disciplines. How the ecology of the child affects the acquisition of competencies and skills has been approached from different angles in different disciplines. In linguistics, psychology and neuroscience, the central question concerns the specific role of exposure to language, while human-machine interaction investigates how different devices impact on language development. To get a better understanding of the cognitive and behavioural consequences of learning in digital ecologies, research needs to consider both the relevant features of communication agents vis a vis the channels of language transmission. At the same time, training for scientists in language learning has not been in synchrony with changes in technology and media available to learners. Current theories of language learning emphasize the role of language input and the child’s interaction with the environment as crucial to language development. The new digital reality has changed both the nature of the linguistic input provided to young children and affords new ways of interaction with communication agents (tablets, robots). Given this, we need to establish whether new digital technologies also change the way in which language is learned. If so, do digital technologies provide useful tools to enhance/optimize language learning in increasingly multi-cultural educational or therapeutic contexts? The aims of e-LADDA are 1) to provide a platform for the training of the next generation of scientists drawing for the first time on interdisciplinary perspectives from basic, applied and translational research on language learning in the digital age, 2) to provide a unified research approach to the benefits and drawbacks of digital technologies for young children’s language learning, 3) transform and develop new digital solutions that benefit learners, and 4) to provide guidance to policy makers, educators, practitioners and families in how emerging digital environments should be navigated, regulated and transformed.

Цел на проекта

Despite the rapid change in children’s ecology and the rapid advance of technology, research on the impact of digital technologies on children’s communication and language development is still scarce and highly fragmented with no unitary approach across disciplines. The central scientific goal of e-LADDA is to establish whether the new and quite intuitive interactions afforded by digital tools impact on young children’s language development and language outcomes in a positive or adverse way, and respond to the need to train new brands of interdisciplinary researchers to support this scientific goal. We further aim to establish exactly what factors in both the technology itself and the communication channel advance language learning and growth or may impede it. This goal will be pursued from a highly interdisciplinary and cross-sectorial perspective bridging between research disciplines and methodologies and in collaboration with industry and the non-academic public sector. The main objectives of e-LADDA are 1) to provide a platform for the training of the next generation of scientists drawing for the first time on interdisciplinary perspectives from basic, applied and translational research on language learning in the digital age, 2) to provide a unified research approach to the benefits and drawbacks of digital technologies for young childrens’ language learning, 3) transform and develop new digital solutions that benefit learners, and 4) to provide guidance to policy makers, educators, practitioners and families in how emerging digital environments should be navigated, regulated and transformed. The ESRs will benefit from interdisciplinary training through substantial mobility, and direct collaboration across a complementary team of beneficiaries and partners at the forefront of interdisciplinary approaches to digital technology and language learning.
