A Neurolinguistic View of Language Development in the Context of Early Childhood Education

Abstract

One of the organs of the human body that functions to control all movements and body functions, including language, is called brain. However, where exactly the language is located and processed in the brain is yet unidentified.  This paper, therefore, particularly discussed the relationship between language and the brain. This article was fully based  on a library research approach therefore it is hard to explain what and how exactly language develops in the human brain in relation the early childhood education. The analysis showed that the content of thought which any normal human beings stated and expressed in the form of signs or in words both spoken and written, indicated the existence of a strong reciprocity between the brain and the language development. It further showed that in order for children to think clearly and precisely, the use of the right words is required. Likewise, the use of the right words is very helpful for thinking straight and correctly. The result of the research is expected to provide a new insight about the reciprocal relationship between human brain and the language development in the context of early childhood education.
