24-32p. Abstract: Children’s literature is intended to entertain children by keeping them turning the pages to see what happens next and how the story finishes. The dialogue in children’s stories is an action-enhancing tool since many actions take place in the dialogues. The present article is an effort to examine the process of language acquisition in kids through selected short stories by Robert Munsch. In order to acquire a more scientific understanding of the language acquisition process in general, the study includes a discussion on language acquisition from utterance to the understanding of words to producing proper sentences. The stories were picked from a collection of Short Stories for Children written by Robert Munsch, an American-Canadian children’s author whose works were not yet analysed from the perspective of teaching the English language. The impressions and messages contained in children’s stories can have a lifetime impact on their minds, which is why if we introduce kids to early reading habits it may act as effective vehicles for helping children to acquire any language including their native one. This is possible because of the language employed in these stories. Children can develop better communication skills if the process of acquiring language follows up through a pattern that will be discussed as a finding for the present paper. ***______{For Hard Copy, Please visit Library.}________*** Robert Munsch| Rarefying| Language Acquisition| Kids| Jean Piaget 0973-5208 https://journals.eltai.in/index.php/jelt/article/view/JELT640504 https://journals.eltai.in/index.php/jelt/article/view/JELT640504 240301 20240301175315.0
