QUESTION 1
1.1.
The additive language approach is a method used in early childhood education where
children are supported to learn a new language (first additional language) while still
maintaining and building on their home language. In the context of children‘s literature, this
means that educators use storybooks, rhymes, and phonics activities in both languages to
help learners transfer their existing language knowledge into the new one. The home
language is not replaced, but rather used as a foundation to help understand and learn the
new language more effectively. For example, when a child already knows how to sound out
letters in their home language, they do not need to start from scratch when learning phonics
in the new language—they simply build on what they already know, focusing only on the
differences between the two languages. This approach helps learners feel more confident,
supports bilingual development, and respects their cultural and linguistic background.
