Language Acquisition Based Education - Practical Strategies
Language stimulation is added in steps and these steps in a process; As the child grows and improves the complexity in his learning will be greater and greater.
As educators and representatives we must imagine that the child does not acquire a constant and fluid language without any stimulus, it will never be possible.
The help and support strategies for this meaningful learning are useful and necessary in all the splendor of the word. Remember that a child who does not acquire basic knowledge, knowledge may not advance, but is encouraged to do so.
What we mean?
A child who is stimulated is excited to go for more, to learn.
A child who is not stimulated, who is not ready for life, for fluid communication, who only has a poor state of mind, his performance is not at his maximum potential.
It is about instructing in the best possible way, where children have the opportunity to develop to the maximum.
Every child is different and learns in different ways; Not everyone has the same ability, but they can be strengthened for achievement and thus succeed.
Question therapy
The activity is based to take place as and where possible, that is, it should not necessarily sit the child and not allow it to move, NO, it is about being something of the free and spontaneous type, where the child does not feel pressure, but that at the same time learn and develop in a more open language.
The various communication channels help us to strengthen that connection between the sender and the receiver. Where we use any eventuality to make it part of the teaching-learning process.
Questions basic:
How did it go today?
Did you have fun?
Do you have new friends?
Children always or almost always tend to respond:
- With a single "good".
We have to ask questions that are not so specific, so that in one way or another the children have the need to answer something else.
Use of more complex questions for language acquisition
Within the same question, others must be composed, so that the child can relate, associate and decode it.
Sample questions:
- What did you eat today, what color was the food?
- Did you like today's class, what did you learn?
- What colors do you see in the sky, do you decipher the images in the clouds?
The idea is to make games with learning that mark children in a meaningful and positive way, that over the years understand that this learning was and is good, because it leaves an indelible mark.
Teaching is not an easy task, but with enthusiasm and the desire to help other people, it becomes easier and fun.
The practice of questions can be done anywhere, as long as it is done spontaneously so that the child is not pressured, and in this way he feels the need to speak.
