Teaching English to Young Learners

 " Teaching Reading and Writing" Reading is a process of constructing meaning through the dynamic interaction among the reader’s existing knowledge, the information suggested by the written language and the context of reading situation.

The second one i...

 Policy : Primary ELT  Program  Hello welcome back to my blog. So in this blog I'm going to tell you little bit about policy : primary ELT program . Governments promote English for political and economic reasons. In a global survey for the British Council, published in 2013, Shelagh Rixon reported that English was being taught at ever younger ages, putting pressure on educational resources across the world. Many countries also introduce English to children in preprimary settings, such as in kindergartens and preschools. The type of language programme is introduced will be dependent on the educational framework of the given country. Educational frameworks vary enormously between countries. In some contexts, there is a major divide between primary and secondary schools around the age of ten to 11, while in others primary schooling runs for eight years (from six to 14), divided into lower primary and upper primary sectors. There are also differences in the way the curri...

LEARNING THE SECOND LANGUAGE AT SCHOOL AND AT HOME   Hello, guys welcome back to my blog. This blog will talk about 'LEARNING SECOND LANGUAGE AT SCHOOL AND AT HOME' Bilingualism  Having or using two languages especially as spoken with fluency characteristics of a native speaker.  The ability to speak a second language while following the concepts and structures of it rather than paraphrasing our mother tongue.  Early Bilingualism  The "simultaneous acquisition" is the process of the earliest chance of learning two languages or more. It starts at birth.  Bilingual children generally appear to develop more slowly in linguistic terms. They may say their first words a little later and learn fewer words and grammatical structures.  Bilingual children are more aware of the language system as bilingualism helps in Meta-linguistics awareness, the ability to reflect on and manipulate the structural features of the language. They are also more conscious of ...

Learning language is natural and babies are born with the ability to learn it. 1  All children, no matter which language their parents speak, learn a language in the same way.  Basic Stages of Language Learning There are three basic stages in which children develop their language skills. Stage One: Learning Sounds When babies are born, they can make and hear all the sounds in all the languages in the world. That’s about 150 sounds in about 6500 languages, though no language uses all of those sounds.  Stage Two: Learning Words At this stage, children essentially learn how the sounds in a language go together to make meaning. For example, they learn that the sounds  m - ah - m - ee ...
