Get a load of this joyful little comedian! Researchers at the University of Bristol (UK) recently created the Early Humor Survey to explore how humor develops in very young children. They found that roughly half of the babies in the tool’s data set showed an appreciation for humor by 2 months of age - and that by 11 months, roughly half of the babies began to experiment with making their own jokes. bristol.ac.uk/news/2021/nove… 🎥 the.present.perspective IG

@LRolland_multi @hmking_linguist @AngliaRuskin @ecrgARU @__BAAL @ALL4language @MChildhoods @BilingMatters @ECSDNetwork Looking for foreign language learners rather than heritage language speakers! Hoping to include families with parents who might be quite fluent, as well as parents learning with their child. 😊

@hmking_linguist @CeriMorgan @AngliaRuskin @ecrgARU @__BAAL @ALL4language @MChildhoods @BilingMatters @ECSDNetwork Fun! Although for us, French is a family/heritage language since it's one of my first languages, so I'm not sure that's what you are looking for? Although there could be lots of ways to define "foreign"!
