Dual Language Children
The focus of this article is Dual Language. A few key points in this
article were
Home language context who speaks what language to whom
and when is the language spoken. Family language and behavior
observations what families hear and see at home. Language and literacy
practices in the home family concerns, assumptions, and questions about
language learning. Having the children speak their language in school and
outside of school helps them get more practice with others who speak the
same language and helps them with the English language as well when you
have children that only have one dominate language.
A few strategies from the article that caught my attention were
classroom applications, home literacy practices, home language surveys.
Classroom applications you set up different stations and i
nclude gestures and
multiple languages in the child’s language different pictures and words. Also,
from the article a teacher could “
interaction strategy used in the classroom:
(1) listen to the child’s phrase, paying special attention to nonverbal cues;
(2) repeat what the child said, but add target language, such as vocabulary
or sentence structure that reflects the classroom language; 3) have the child
repeat phrase.” Home literacy practices parents and their children can speak
more fluently in their language by just talking to one another and reading
and doing activities. Home language surveys you could see how many of
what language your classroom will be filled of so that way each child can at
least have a certain item or space in the classroom for their language they
can also teach others and let them know more of their backgrounds. The
survey also lets the teachers have the parents keep up with the new
vocabulary they hear from their child.
I would use these strategies and more inside my classroom. Using all
three strategies above and using a parent focus group. A parent focus group
would be a group that met four times a school year and was open to all
families. School staff and teachers worked with the Parent Association to
create open questions regarding home-language use and experience with
dual language learning for focus group discussions. Families used this forum
to voice concerns, ask questions, and share resources with each other. I
would use the data I collect from the above strategies and come up with little
language learning centers around the classroom and different activities the
children and do in the classroom and at home.
