Language, Cognition and Scaffolding

3.1. Language Scaffolding

We can consider the language levels required, by constructing a hierarchy based on word/sentence/text levels, as follows:

Word level: Recognition and use of new vocabulary in order to understand a new concept. Example: Create a labelled piechart for a presentation.

Sentence level: Recognition and use of crucial concept phrases with attention to linguistic accuracy. Example: Order sentences to show a process with correction of mistakes.
