| LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT |
|
| Language is a means of
communication. It is developed through listening activities, rhymes, stories, puppet shows, sing song
activities, free conversation, guided conversation, picture reading, alphabet recognition, beginning
sounds, structured sentences, situational sentences, role play, dramatization, stage exposure, audio
video exposure, nature walks, trips and excursions. We are aware that the basic instruction given in the
school is not in the language the child uses at home. Initially we provide bilingual platform and slowly
expose him to English language through the activities mentioned above. Through these activities we are able
to increase their vocabulary, develop their listening skills, clarity of speech. These activities give them
a platform to learn, use and enjoy the new language. |

| Language is an aspect of
communication. The child is able to make his/her needs known. It is a continuous verbal give and take of
activities in school that has endless opportunities for listening and talking. Language learning takes place
through activities such as Rhymes, story telling, Puppet shows, discussions on topics, picture talks,
dramatization, situational sentences, sing-song activities, guided conversation, free conversation, nature
walks and field trips. We are aware that the basic instruction in school is not the language the child speaks
at home. We provide a bilingual platform and when the children feel comfort in school we switch to the language
of the school. It is done gradually and carefully so no discomfort is felt by the child. |
