4. 1. If a foreign child was to watch a
show like Dora the Explorer in their
native language but learning
English, would their learning
process be similar?
2. Does socioeconomic status really
matter in regards to a child’s
vocabulary?
+ 3. Is there a significant increase of
vocabulary retention when the
parent/guardian brings the material
learned in the shows to real life
situations?
