Abstract

Language is a process through which humans create meaning. Language as a process begins with a function and then develops as the user experiments with the language form necessary to meet the needs of that function. Students use language and learn its functions at the same time (F. Smith, 1983). As a result, children learn language naturally as they interact with others in their environment (Goodman, 1986).
