Language And Society In The Lens Of Young Children: A Review

Language is a fundamental component of human society, shaping how individuals communicate, interact, and perceive the world around them. This article review aimed to determine the relationship of language to society through the lens of young children. Language development in young children is an intricate process shaped by social interactions, socioeconomic factors, digital exposure, and cultural influences. By understanding how young children navigate language within society, caregivers and educators can foster environments that promote robust linguistic and cognitive growth. Future research should further explore the long-term effects of early social and linguistic experiences on children's overall academic and social success. Educators should incorporate culturally responsive teaching strategies that recognize and respect the linguistic diversity of their students. Schools should create an inclusive environment where children feel encouraged to use their home language while also developing proficiency in the dominant language of instruction. Additionally, policymakers should invest in early childhood education programs that provide equitable access to language learning resources, particularly for children from disadvantaged backgrounds. By implementing these strategies, society can foster a generation of young learners who are confident communicators and socially aware individuals.
