Session 3: Language Development
Learning Activity 1: Promoting Language Development
Focus
Once you have an understanding of children’s language development, what the child needs in order for language skills to develop, and the role of the child care provider, you can reflect on your actions with children and plan the best possible ways of responding.
Directions
Step 1: With a partner from your class, review Key Concepts to Promoting Language Development.
Step 2: Still with your partner, complete Learning Activity 1: Promoting Language Development.
Important: Remember that working with a partner means responses should reflect both of your thinking. Just as when you work with children, it is important that you use excellent active listening skills when working with class peers.
Checking In
Both you and your partner will save a copy of your completed learning activity to the appropriate sub-folder of your individual course folders.
