German term or phrase: Sprachanbahnung
Hallo!

Ich suche nach einem äquivalenten englischen Terminus für den deutschen Terminus Sprachanbahnung.
Eine Definition für Sprachanbahnung lautet: "intensive fachliche Hilfe bei der ersten Begriffsbildung und der Artikulation der Sprache des Kleinkindes, wenn die Sprachbildung gehemmt ist. Unerlässlich bei hörgeschädigten Kindern oder Kindern mit Intelligenzminderungen. (Franke)"

Explanation:
I think this term is appropriate in the context of children with difficulties in developing speech, such as those with impaired hearing.
See e.g. http://openlibrary.org/b/OL4728232M/Speech-facilitation

language initiation


Explanation:
Initiations: A measure of central interest is the degree of language initiation that native speakers offered to second language learners. Since native speakers are a primary source of language input to second language learners, especially in the preschool classroom in which the classroom discourse tends to be less teacher dominated, then it is important to examine the degree to which native speaker initiations took place;
http://www.ncela.gwu.edu/pubs/jeilms/vol14/hirschle.htm;





Example sentence(s):
  • On Second Language Initiation at an Early Age;
  • Generalization and maintenance of skills acquired in Non-Speech Language Initiation Program training;

neutral  casper: The asker's context is: "... wenn die Sprachbildung gehemmt ist. Unerlässlich bei hörgeschädigten Kindern oder Kindern mit Intelligenzminderungen." Your context is "second language learners".

  -> But aren't beginners and children learning a second language confronted with the same difficulties?
