标题:The Relationship between the home Literacy Environment and Mother`s Teaching Behavior,and 18 to 24-year-old Infant`s Vocabulary Ability According to SES of Families
摘要:This study was conducted in order to identify the relationship between home literacy environment and mother's interactive teaching behaviors,and infant's vocabulary ability. The subjects of this study were 53 infants between the ages of 18 to 24 months and their mothers. In order to measure the home literacy environment,the questionnaire used by Han Chan-Hee (2006),which was partly modified from Shapiro (1979),was selected,and to analyze mothers’ teaching behaviors,Barnard’s NCAST Teaching Scale(1978) was used. The infant's vocabulary ability was measured by the questionnaire first used by Lim Yong-Soon(2002),which was partly modified from the MCD1 used by Fcnson et al(1991). In conclusion,this study,most importantly,suggests that the teaching behaviors of the mothers themselves as well as the home literacy environment can both be very important factors affecting infant vocabulary development.
