Ep.5 On the Road to Learning: Exploring Declarative Language through Case Studies and Classroom Journeys

Hosts: Kristen Smith & Tara Ross, Speech-Language Pathologists, Upper Grand District School Board Special Guest: Linda Murphy, Author of The Declarative Language Handbook Episode Overview: In this episode of the Upper Grand District School Board Social Learning Road Trip, Kristin Smith and Tara Ross, both speech-language pathologists at Upper Grand, dive deeper into the practical use of declarative language in classrooms. They are joined once again by Linda Murphy, the author of The Declarative Language Handbook, to explore how educators can effectively implement declarative language strategies to support students' social, emotional, and academic growth. The episode includes two insightful case studies, where Linda provides expert advice on how declarative language can help students with different needs engage in learning and navigate challenging situations. Key Takeaways:Declarative Language for Classroom Support: Declarative language is a strategy that helps create a supportive environment by guiding students through transitions and challenges without putting additional pressure on them to come up with immediate answers.Using declarative statements instead of questions helps reduce anxiety and provides clear, non-demanding direction. 2.Engaging Students in Problem-Solving: Declarative language isn't just about giving instructions—it’s also about creating a space for collaborative problem-solving. This involves acknowledging the student’s feelings and experiences, as Linda highlights in her approach to understanding dysregulation in students. 3.Handling Transitions and Non-Preferred Tasks: Helping students transition from preferred to non-preferred tasks requires a curious mindset and a focus on what parts of the task might be challenging for them.Declarative statements like "We're going to do reading next, but I’ll help you through it so you can feel successful," help students anticipate and prepare for the shift, fostering a sense of control and reducing anxiety.

DLD and Multilingual Learners with Johanne Paradis

In Episode 8 of The Social Learning Road Trip Podcast, Tara Ross and Kristen Smith explore Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) through the important lens of multilingualism with guest expert Dr. Joanne Paradis. A leading researcher in bilingual language development, Dr. Paradis shares practical, research‑based insights to help educators and families better understand how to support multilingual children. This episode tackles a common concern: how to tell the difference between a language difference and a language disorder when a child is learning English as an additional language. Dr. Paradis explains why looking at early language milestones, gathering family history, and using dynamic assessment approaches are key—while cautioning against relying solely on standardized tests designed for monolingual learners. Listeners will also learn about patterns to watch for in multilingual learners with DLD, including persistent difficulties with verb morphology, and why no single “red flag” tells the whole story. The conversation highlights the importance of considering cultural, linguistic, and experiential factors—particularly for children from immigrant or refugee backgrounds. A powerful focus of the episode is the value of maintaining a child’s heritage language. Dr. Paradis dispels the myth that bilingualism worsens language difficulties, emphasizing that strong skills in a first language can support English development, strengthen family relationships, and promote identity and well‑being. The episode closes with practical, everyday strategies for supporting multilingual children with DLD, from creating language‑rich interactions during play to incorporating storytelling, conversation, and culturally meaningful activities in both home and school environments. Whether you’re a parent, educator, or clinician, this episode offers reassurance, clarity, and actionable ideas to better support multilingual learners with diverse language profiles.

Establishing clear, manageable roles during tasks—whether in a whole group, small group, or individual setting—helps students feel competent and engaged.Declarative language is essential for students with developmental language disorders. Using explicit la00nguage to guide students through tasks and narrating the process fosters understanding and self-regulation.Peer-to-peer interactions can be a key avenue for social learning. Encouraging parallel or reciprocal play, and scaffolding these interactions, helps students with social-emotional challenges develop essential skills in a low-pressure environment.Teachers play an essential role in setting up success.
