    A parent education videocourse significantly improved children's language development and parental communication skills. These positive effects on early language learning were sustained long-term, demonstrating the program's effectiveness.

    Area of Science:

    • Child Development
    • Linguistics
    • Educational Technology

    Background:

    • Parental involvement is crucial for early language acquisition.
    • Existing resources for parent-led language development support are often limited.
    • Innovative delivery methods are needed to reach a wider audience.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of a videocourse designed to enhance parental support for early language development.
    • To assess the impact of the videocourse on parent-child communication and child language usage.
    • To determine the long-term retention of the observed benefits.

    Main Methods:

    • A videocourse intervention comprising five videotape programs, a handbook, and home-based activities was developed.
    • Thirty-three parents (mothers and fathers) participated in the course.

  • Parental communication strategies and children's language usage were assessed before, during, and after the intervention, with a follow-up at 4 months.

    • Main Results:

    • Participant feedback on the videocourse was highly favorable.
    • Significant improvements were observed in parents' communication patterns with their children.
    • Children demonstrated marked improvements in language usage, which were maintained at the 4-month follow-up.

    Conclusions:

    • The videocourse is an effective method for improving parent-child communication and child language development.
    • Videocourses offer a feasible and easily disseminable platform for providing parents with targeted language development support.
    • This approach has the potential to broadly impact early language acquisition opportunities for families.
