Abstract/Notes: Teaching adults unlike educating children, is a difficult area, owing to the learners’ educational and social background, compounded by their expectations and assumed goals. Bearing in mind that learning and teaching strategies may not be equally effective with all learners, it is advisable to propose such a mode of teaching that would accommodate especially those adults who face difficulties with gaining knowledge, due to factors outside the strictly educational sphere. This is where, Maria Montessori’s pedagogy steps in with a proposal addressed at those persons who have so far failed to succeed in learning a foreign language in a traditional way. Her pedagogy has inspired teachers and educators all over the world and consequently, had a profound effect on the structure and quality of teaching until today. Although it has mainly dealt with educating children and young people until the age of 18, there have been attempts to apply her methodology to adult teaching. The author of this article will look at the ways her philosophy can be adopted in teaching adults, however to get a better perception of the nature of her ideas, some attention has to be drawn to what drove Maria Montessori to devoting her professional life to education.

Abstract/Notes: The present study is to find out influence that the language control type of a mother affects leadership of an children, and its purpose is to find out relations between the language control type of a mother and leadership of an children and to find out about how much the language control type affects leadership of an children. Hence, if the research results are summarized in the present research, it is as follows. First, as a result of investigating a relationship between the language control type of a mother and leadership according to a gender of children of 4 years old, it appeared that there is no statistically significant difference in all of the language control type of a mother. Also, the leadership according to a gender of children showed that a boy children is higher than a girl children in only pro-social leadership, and it appeared that a girl children is higher than a boy children in the proactivity, creativity, cognitive abilities and decision-making leadership and there was signigicant difference. Second, the results of analyzing the influence that the language control type of a mother affects leadership of an children according to a gender of an children are as follows. 1) It appeared that as the person-oriented language control type of parents of all boy and girl children is higher, the pro-social leadership of children is raised. 2) It appeared that as the imperatives language control type is higher, the proactive leadership of a boy children gets lower. It appeared that as the status-oriented and person-oriented language control types are higher, the proactive leadership of a children gets higher. It appeared that as the status-oriented language control type is higher, the proactive leadership of a girl children gets lower. It appeared that as the person-oriented language control type is higher, the proactive leadership of an children gets higher. 3) It appeared that as the person-oriented language control type of parents of all boy and girl children is higher, the creative leadership of an children gets higher. 4) It appeared that as the imperatives language control type is higher, the leadership of cognitive abilities of a boy children gets lower, and it appeared that as the person-oriented language control type is higher, the leadership of cognitive abilities of children gets higher. It appeared that as the person-oriented language control type is higher, the leadership of cognitive abilities of a girl children gets higher. 5) It appeared that as the person-oriented language control type is higher, the decision-making leadership of boy infants gets higher, and it appeared that as the imperative and status-oriented language control type is higher, the decision-making leadership of girl children gets lower. And it appeared that as the person-oriented language control type is higher, the decision-making leadership of children gets higher. Third, as a result of analyzing the influence that the language control type of a mother affects leadership of an children of 4 years old, it appeared that as the language control type of a mother gets more person-oriented, the leadership of an children is enhanced. As a result, it can be understood that the language control type of a mother has much influence on children, and first of all, when a mother use the person-oriented language rather than using the imperative and status-oriented language control, it has much influence on the leadership's lower domain of children. / 본 연구에서는 어머니의 언어통제유형이 만 4세 남, 여 유아의 리더십에 미치는 영향에 관하여 알아보았다. 연구의 대상은 유아교육기관에 재원중인 만 4세 유아 400명과 그의 어머니 400명이다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 만 4세 유아 성별에 따른 어머니의 언어통제유형과 리더십은 성별에 따라 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 유아 성별에 따른 어머니의 언어통제유형이 유아리더십에 미치는 영향은 남아·여아 모두 전반적으로 어머니의 인성지향적 언어통제유형이 높을수록 리더십이 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 어머니의 언어통제유형이 만 4세 유아의 리더십에 미치는 영향은 어머니가 인성지향적일수록 종속변인인 리더십 5가지 하위요인에 모두 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

Abstract/Notes: The views and claims of Piaget and Montessori on child language development are compared and studied in comparison with those of other scholars in linguistics and psycholingustics. Most of their views and claims are converging on the following points. First, language development is biologically determined, the linguistic environment having only a triggering effect for the activation of the innate capacity of language development. Second, language development has no direct effects but only indirect ones on intellectual development. Third, the critical period of language development is roughly between the ages of 2 and 10, and there appears an "explosive" period of language development between the ages of 2 and 3 These findings on language development are yet to be fully utilized in early childhood language education through extensive experimental researches.

Abstract/Notes: With the current immigration and migration trends in Europe and worldwide, English as an Additional Language (EAL) education is becoming a prominent area of educational research. The discourse around EAL and social justice education has, until now, largely focused on primary, secondary, and post compulsory aged students. Preschool aged EAL children have been left out of the academic discourse. Pedagogical approaches need to be explored to marry EAL and social justice for preschool children. Maria Montessori’s pedagogical approach may be able to achieve this unity without compromising the language development that is desired. The following study is a piece of action research, applying the Montessori Method to a group of nine EAL children in the Canton of Zürich, Switzerland. The data gathered suggests that applying Montessori’s approach to EAL education, that of listening to the child and being attentive to hisher needs, gives autonomy to the student, and can promote social justice in preschool EAL education. Listening to the child occurs through ‘observation’ (attentiveness to the child), critical reflection of practice, and experimentation in education. In this way each child receives a customized education that has, at its foundation, respect for the child. Using ‘observation,’ field notes, and researcher reflections, it became apparent that young children are able to communicate their educational needs. TESOL outcomes were used to monitor the rate at which English was learned. Each language journey was vastly different, but regardless of the initial outcomes met, all children demonstrated increases in their comprehension and spoken English. It is important to recognize that children must be listened to and should be considered valued members in their education.
