Речь не является врожденным навыком, она приобретается в процессе развития. Например, ребенок, рожденный от русских родителей, но выросший во франкоговорящей среде, будет свободно говорить по-французски, но не будет знать русского языка. Дети усваивают тот образец речи, который слышат дома, однако речевые навыки могут быть усовершенствованы в школе.
Навыки устной речи быстрее развиваются у девочек, чем у мальчиков. Сначала развивается устная речь, а затем письменная.
Способность выражать устно свои мысли является показателем развития интеллекта. Научные исследования показывают взаимосвязь между уровнем интеллекта и шириной словарного запаса. Способные дети используют больше слов, чем дети со средними способностями.

Laurent Clerk: American Pioneer Deaf Teacher
Laurent Clerk was one of the most influential in the American deaf. He was born on Dec.26, 1785 in south eastern France. When little Laurent was about a year old somehow he fell into the fireplace and was extremely burnt on his right cheek. When Clerk recovered from the fever which followed, it was discovered that he was deaf and lost the sense of smell. It seemed Laurent could never expect to follow his father in the office or learn to read or write. For most deaf children in those days were unable to get any education. When Clark was 12 years old in 1797, his uncle took him to Paris to the Royal Institution for the Deaf. Clerk proved to be a hard working student. Besides his school subjects, he learned drawing and painting.
After only eight years as a pupil, Clerk was chosen to be a teacher. In 1816 Clerk began to teach the highest class in the school. Once Clerk agreed to come to America for three years to help to organize a new school, to be its first experienced teacher and to teach others how to teach the deaf.
Clerk`s education, culture and seriousness of purpose quickly won the interest of people.
In 1818 Laurent Clerk was married to Miss Eliza Boardman, who had been one of the early students of the school. She lost her hearing at about the age of three, but had some speech. Attractive, intelligent and of graceful manners, Mrs. Clerk was a good reason for her husband to spend the rest of his life in America. The Clerks had six children, all with normal hearing. During the rest of his life he made only visits to France. Schools for the deaf had been established in many states by 1850. Clerk`s last years were spent peacefully.. He enjoyed visiting the library reading rooms, meeting his friends and keeping an interest in schools. He passed away on July 18, 1869 at the age of 84. The deaf people of America are still thankful to Clerk as the man they couldn`t have succeeded without. They follow Clerk`s teaching: to stand on their own, to solve their problems in a realistic manner and never to feel sorry for themselves.
Perhaps, the most important of all, he brought us the sigh language – a beautiful, expressive and fascinating way of communication. Deaf people raised a beautiful memorial to Laurent Clerk, but his best monument is in the hearts of the deaf of America.
