“…PC TALK (http://www.talk.ku.edu/tools/manuals/) is an evidence-based naturalistic language intervention for strengthening an infant’s or toddler’s early language-learning environment (Walker & Bigelow, 2012) used in prior research (Bigelow et al, 2020; Buzhardt et al, 2011, 2018). Eight evidence-based strategies are included: (a) arranging the environment, (b) following the child’s lead, (c) commenting and labeling, (d) imitating and expanding, (e) using open-ended questions, (f) time delay, (g) positive attention, and (h) providing choices.…”

Data-driven decision making (DDDM) helps educators identify children not responding to intervention, individualize instruction, and monitor response to intervention in multitiered systems of support (MTSS). More prevalent in K–12 special education, MTSS practices are emerging in early childhood. In previous reports, we described the Making Online Decisions (MOD) web application to guide DDDM for educators serving families with infants and toddlers in Early Head Start home-visiting programs. Findings from randomized control trials indicated that children at risk for language delay achieved significantly larger growth on the Early Communication Indicator formative language measure if their home visitors used the MOD to guide DDDM, compared to children whose home visitors were self-guided in their DDDM. Here, we describe findings from a randomized control trial indicating that these superior MOD effects extend to children’s language growth on standardized, norm-referenced language outcomes administered by assessors who were blind to condition and that parents’ use of language promotion strategies at home mediated these effects. Implications and limitations are discussed.

“…The app uses GPS to locate a parent and child in neighborhood locations that have been previously defined by the parent during program setup. The app prompts the parent to use vocabulary aligned with visiting the supermarket, park, and so on using the strategies described previously (Bigelow et al, 2020 ; Turcotte et al, 2017 ). TAT also provides some support for data collection and progress-monitoring feedback.…”

Children learn language through the interactions they have with their parents/caregivers beginning at birth. Hart and Risley ( 1995 ) discovered an inequity in the home language input children received from parents/caregivers. Children reared in low-income families received less input (conversations, turns) from parents than did children reared in more advantaged families. Less language input was linked to a disparity in children’s vocabulary learning by age 3. The long-term result of this social determinant of early language/literacy learning is a life trajectory of poor educational, economic, and health attainment for many children in families with limited resources, at vast cost to individuals, communities, and the nation. What is needed is an approach to word-gap prevention that is capable of achieving positive individual, community, and population outcomes. Translating research into practice, we developed the Bridging the Word Gap Community Action Planning Guide (BWG-CAPG) using a combined behavior-analytic, community psychology, and public health framework for this purpose (Greenwood et al., 2017 ). We also developed a progress-monitoring measure, the online BWG Community Check Box Evaluation System, to provide feedback on a community’s actions and progress in implementing their plan. Results from an initial pilot investigation within and across three community sectors in a large urban city were promising. BWG Community Check Box results indicated a number of desired outcomes: (a) capacity development and mobilization, (b) community implementation actions, and (c) community changes in practices, programs, and policies. Implications are discussed.

“…During the epidemic, all learning models were basically converted to online, and all teaching activities were carried out based on modern information technology. The teaching thinking of teachers was very different from the thinking of traditional teaching methods (Barrios and Hayes-Harb, 2020;Bigelow et al, 2020). This difference is mainly manifested in the following: teaching content materials must conform to the characteristics of online teaching methods, the way of interaction between teachers and students in the process of distance teaching has changed, and the way of feedback on teaching effects has also changed (Wahbeh et al, 2021).…”

Since the sudden outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic in 2020, the second language learning patterns of students in mainland China have encountered new challenges that have had a psychological impact on mainland Chinese students. The epidemic has not only inconvenienced students’ normal second language learning but also greatly affected the second language learning patterns of mainland Chinese students. In the post-epidemic era, more and more students are becoming accustomed to studying and learning a second language online. The level of informatization of second language learning patterns of students in mainland China has increased significantly. This study first analyses the mechanisms of change in second language learning patterns and further analyses the influence of knowledge background on the perception of second language learning patterns on this basis. To design the influencing factors of second language learning patterns, a questionnaire was used to investigate the influence of knowledge background on the perception of second language learning patterns. The survey was conducted on students who were learning a second language in mainland China. Then, the survey data were statistically analyzed. In analyzing the influence of effect on second language learning behaviors of students in mainland China, observed variables were designed, including observed variables of affective factors and learning behaviors. After that, the findings of the experiment were summarized based on the results of the questionnaire survey, and the positive influence of emotional factors on second language learning behaviors of mainland Chinese students in the post-development era was concluded.
