Question 1
1.1 Children learn new words by listening to peers and adults and then guessing from
context. They also learn from new experiences and by listening to stories read
aloud. The language skills can be group into the following categories
Productive (Output) Language - Productive language is the speaking and writing
part of language development. Learners develop what they say and put it into
written text.
Receptive (Input) Language - Receptive language is acquired by listening and
reading, through what is spoken and what we see. Learners need to develop this
after expressive language.
Expressive (Written/spoken) Language - Expressive language is the skill of listening
and speaking. Unless the learner is able to understand and speak a language it
can be near impossible to learn to read or write that language.
It is important to encourage language usage and promotion among learners in the
class as children tend to learn best through play and from their friends. The teacher
needs to supervise the language used and ensure that it is correctly used to ensure
maximum success.
Peer expressive language is regarded as crucial in acquiring language skills.
Language ability of the peer will affect how effect learning is. Learners gain more
from learning from a peer who is at a higher level than from those that are
underdeveloped.
1.2 Reading text:
“A big black bug bit a big black bear,
But a big black bear bit a big black bug back.”
And
“She sells seashells by the seashore,
The shells she sells are seashells, I’m sure.
So, if she sells seashells on the seashore,
Then I’m sure she sells seashore shells.”
I would use the two tongue twisters to teach the following skills:
Pronunciation and listening skills.

The learners will need to listen carefully to get the word correct and not muddle up
the sounds made. They will then have to repeat each individual sound slowly
before speeding up to say the tongue twister effectively.
Tongue twisters are meant to concentrate mainly on two things which contribute to
reading success:
Enunciation of individual sounds and
Listening skills
1.3.1 She has used a writing frame or structured writing by giving a model of how a story
should be written.
1.3.2 The writing frame or structured writing helps the learners with their writing and to
write within the genre they are using. This has to allow children enough time to
write.
1.3.3 The writing cycle is important in that it allows the learners to complete a writing
piece with enough time to plan and draft their work. It reduces stress placed on the
learner and breaks the whole process up into manageable parts. The writing cycle
is broken up into the following parts:
Modelled writing is where the learner sees an example from either book, board or
teacher
Oral preparation is where you prepare the learner for the task ahead, by giving
them the purpose of the task, the audience, the topic, building vocabulary and
discussing different ideas.
Shared writing is where the learners present their ideas and this is then used to
create a scaffolding representing the writing so they can add or change.
Writing frame/Structured writing is where you create a flip frame for the learners to
structure their writing in and stick to the topic. You need to allow enough time for
them to finish this task.
Revising or editing is where you allow learners to revise their work and correct any
errors. Provide guidelines as what to look for. Like is the punctuation correct, is the
story relevant to the topic.
Feedback is where you allow children to read their writing pieces. They are given
feedback and the pieces that are better can be displayed in the classroom.
The writing cycle is important as it provides a backbone for the learner to utilise in
the writing process.
