Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Turn-taking refers to the practice of individuals speaking one at a time in a conversation. By encouraging turn-taking in young children, they can learn to recognize and differentiate between the roles of the speaker and listener in a conversation. This skill can help them become more effective communicators as they grow older. Alternation of morphemes and phonemic reversing are not relevant to teaching conversation skills, while infant-directed speech is a specific type of language input that parents use when speaking to babies and young children, but it does not necessarily address turn-taking in conversation.
