“…For example, there is some evidence that children who undergo a tracheostomy shortly after birth go on to develop speech and language skills, despite lack of access to speech production (Adamson & Dunbar, 1991;Bohm, Nelson, Driver, & Green, 2010). Language acquisition in this view is something that happens to the child, rather than something a child does (Hockema & Smith, 2009). While final language knowledge states may differ within certain parameters, particularly if the developmental context is atypical, such differences should logically be individual, shaped by an individual's endowment.…”

Language acquisition theories differ in the importance they assign to production as a learning mechanism. This review summarizes some of the theoretical issues linked to this debate and considers their implications for children with severe speech and physical impairments. The unique aspects of the language-learning contexts of these children are explored. Drawing largely on papers published within the journal Augmentative and Alternative Communication, this review summarizes features of language development that have been described over the past 3 decades and considers how these findings might illuminate our understanding of language development across both spoken and aided modalities. Implications for assessment, intervention and for further research are suggested.

“…Marek and W.-C.V. Wu of internal cognition and emotion, as well as external incentives, combined with social context. Hockema and Smith (2009) treated the student as a developing organism and saw the organism and its environment, both internal and external, as a fully interacting or coupled system. Changes anywhere in the system, they said, affect the dynamics of the whole.…”

This conceptual, interdisciplinary inquiry explores Complex Dynamic Systems as the concept relates to the internal and external environmental factors affecting computer assisted language learning (CALL). Based on the results obtained by de Rosnay [World Futures: The Journal of General Evolution, 67(4/5), 304-315 (2011)], who observed that the systems approach is separate from, and complimentary to, the analytical/experimental model of analysis, the authors use a systems analysis approach to identify a typology of environmental factors that are internal and external to the CALL student, and internal and external to the school. The typology is presented in a CALL ecology model (CEM) along with implications for pedagogy. The authors believe that the systems orientation will become more and more important in the overall understanding of best practices in computer assisted language learning.
