A world
of languages (YPF10)
|
|
An awareness of the sounds and structures of different languages, and how they are used in different social situations, not only lays the foundations for successful language learning but can also motivate pupils and encourage them to learn another language. A world of languages looks at developing pupils' language-learning potential by relating it to themselves as language users and to the multilingualism that surrounds them. It provides a rigorous approach to the linguistic aspects of diversity, presenting activities which develop pupils' understanding of the more formal aspects of language, as well as an appreciation of the benefits of speaking another language. The ideas and approaches are suitable for use in both multilingual and monolingual classrooms, with activities designed to stimulate the curiosity and confidence of all children, whether or not they already speak another language.
