(We’ve always loved singing songs in various languages in our setting.) Wherever possible we will find the script in each particular language so that this may also add to the richness of environmental text children are exposed to.
It is not necessarily our intention that young children are actively ‘taught’ another language in any formal manner, rather that children may occasionally hear words and phrases in different languages and enjoy hearing the variety this world has to offer. Is this utterance exploring sounds or is this an actual word they are using concisely and succinctly? We hope that these resources might equip us all with at least a small insight into a child’s speech and language development in any other languages they speak in conjunction with English.Įnriching children’s development through the introduction to the concept of different languages. There have been so many occasions throughout the years where a child has perhaps approached one of our displays, pointed at an object and said a word/sound we did not know. Gaining a deeper insight into a child’s knowledge of any languages other than English that they speak at home with their family is invaluable.
