Pediatric clinicians are on the front line for prevention of language and speech disorders. This review uses prevailing theories and recent data to justify strategies for prevention, screening and detection, diagnosis, and treatment of language and speech disorders. Primary prevention rests on theories that language learning is an interaction between the child's learning capacities and the language environment. Language learning occurs in a social context with active child engagement. Theories support parent education and public programs that increase children's exposure to child-directed speech. Early detection of delays requires knowledge of language milestones and recognition of high-risk indicators for disorders. Male sex, bilingual environments, birth order, and chronic otitis media are not adequate explanations for significant delays in language or speech. Current guidelines recommend both general and autism-specific screening. Environmental and genetic factors contribute to primary language and speech disorders. Secondary and tertiary prevention requires early identification of children with language and speech disorders. Disorders may be found in association with chromosomal, genetic, neurologic, and other health conditions. Systematic reviews find that speech-language therapy, alone or in conjunction with other developmental services, is effective for many disorders. Speech-language interventions alter the environment and stimulate children's targeted responding to improve their skills.

I often get asked for advice on how to learn a language while working full time, and what techniques there are to make it feasible with such a small amount of free time each day. In contrast to the average "you can do it if you just believe in yourself" type post I'm going to keep things as real as possible. I absolutely love learning languages but don't want to give the impression that they are a walk in the park, that there is a magical key that makes them just slip into your head without effort, without time.

Is it possible to learn a language while working full time? The answer for the most part is no, and I've almost never seen it happen. In certain rare, very rare cases the answer is yes. And in other cases the answer is yes, because you aren't in a situation where you actually need to fully learn it. More on that later.

First of all, a language is a massive investment of time. Even the easiest take over 500 hours to become proficient, and some may take 4000 hours. The JLPT (a Japanese test) I passed a long time ago for example I failed the first time, then spent a full extra year of study before finally passing it. More recently in order to maintain and improve my Mandarin Chinese I spend a lot of time reading, and I end up with a notebook looking like this, the product of very long hours of painstakingly learning one new word at a time in context. It's long and arduous, and I love it. But most don't. And it's certainly no shortcut to oodles of money.

The cold reality is that there is no shortcut to learning a language, and those that make it easy do so just because they enjoy spending hours and hours doing it. In this way it's no different than a hockey fan who knows the stats for just about any player you can name. Is he a genius? No, he just spends every free hour watching and thinking about the sport and has invested thousands upon thousands of hours in it. Learning a language and learning anything else is more or less the same.

As a career-building exercise languages for the most part have a low return on investment. Studies show that bilinguals tend to make more than monolinguals to the tune of maybe around $10,000 a year (this one claims $7,000 for example), which is not much return for a thousand hours of work. If you're working full time, would a thousand hours be best spent on a language, or is there something else you could be working on? Even at two hours a day, about the maximum a full-time employee can afford to spend, that's nearly a year and a half.

What also makes a language different from a lot of other skills is that they can become rusty over time. Well, isn't that the same with other skills? True, but a diploma or a degree is a one-time event that doesn't need to be replicated, while a language that has gotten rusty is going to be noticed the moment you open your mouth. If you spend a similar amount of time getting a graduate degree, nobody is going to ask you to replicate the knowledge ten years later even if you've forgotten most of it.

One paradoxical quality to learning a language is how asocial it can seem. When you are working and living in an all-English environment, you are eventually going to need a few good months of immersion to really improve at what you are learning. If you use your two or three weeks off to vacation with your friends or family, even in the target country, you're not going to get the immersion you need. The only true way to do it is to leave everyone behind and go by yourself. Are your friends or family understanding or independent enough to allow you to do that for the time required? Think about this aspect as well when learning a language.

So for someone working full time and looking to advance their career, I would only advise spending the time required to learn a language if 1) you absolutely want to do it, or 2) there is a very tangible benefit to doing it. In certain countries for example these test scores (often English test scores) are a prerequisite to advancement, so their motivation to excel is clear and obvious. Or maybe you were sent to another country on assignment. Here too the benefits are clear and obvious.

Now what about a situation where you don't need to fully learn a language? This is another situation where I would fully recommend putting in the time necessary. Remember, language learning is generally divided into four skills: reading, listening, speaking, writing, and you don't always need to focus on all four.

Let's say you are a project manager in Calgary for a project located in Mexico, and you are getting field reports and correspondences in Spanish all the time. I've seen this happen before and the PM usually says something along the lines of "I wish I spoke Spanish, but it just takes too much time to learn." Well, not really. Who says you need to be fluent in Spanish? All that is needed here is a passive understanding of written Spanish, which is about the easiest skill in a language of this type to obtain. In this case you should absolutely be working on it. Certain books such as this one focus on teaching it for people in just this situation, starting with commonalities between the languages and using that to drastically improve its readability from the get go.

The same goes with other limited areas of language learning. Do you need to go abroad and make a speech, and want to give it in that language? Absolutely put in the time to do so. A speech is one-directional, and no writing, no reading, and no listening is required. Hire a tutor to drill you (and keep drilling you) on your pronunciation and memory because this is the only thing you need to get right. e24fc04721
