1.1 Hill (2008) identifies different levels of language development in young learners.
DEVELOPMENT OF LANGUAGE SKILLS
QUESTION 1: (12)
1.1.1 Discuss the language development of learners who are at the Early-reading level
and explain how the knowledge of these stages will enable teachers to assist learners in
developing language in class. (6)
1.1.2 Create TWO (2) activities that you would use to develop language skills for Early-reading
level learners. (6)
1.1.1 The Early-reading level is characterized by learners being able to
recognize and understand words and simple sentences. At this level,
learners are developing their phonological awareness, comprehension,
and vocabulary skills. Teachers need to understand the stages of
language development in order to provide appropriate learning
materials and activities that match the learners' linguistic abilities. For
example, teachers can use picture books with simple texts to help
learners make connections between spoken and written words, and
use rhymes and songs to help them develop phonological awareness.
By understanding the language development of learners at the Early-
reading level, teachers can tailor their instruction to meet the specific
needs of their students and provide the necessary support for language
acquisition.
1.1.2
Activity 1: Word Hunt - Create a word hunt activity where learners
search for and identify words in the classroom or in a designated area.
Provide them with a list of words to find and have them match the
words they find to pictures or objects. This activity helps develop
vocabulary and word recognition skills.
, Activity 2: Storytelling with Props - Provide learners with a simple story
and props related to the story, such as animal figurines or objects. Have
the learners retell the story using the props to support their
storytelling. This activity helps develop comprehension, storytelling
skills, and vocabulary.
