3) Report by Sara Partika | Fachschule für Sozialpädagogik Work Placement Institution: Little Learners Pre-School, London Situation 1 Description of the situation The whole group is sitting in the garden, listening a story the teacher is telling. One little girl is ignoring them. She wants to play a game in the garden and keeps standing up, because she wants to walk around. The teacher says, “Sit down and listen to the story!“ But the little girl doesn’t understand what the teacher says because she speaks another language. Sometimes the girl understands a little bit but most of the time the girl doesn’t understand what the teacher means. Observed support The teacher says to the little girl, “Sit down please“ in English and makes a movement with her hands. The move shows her to sit down. She doesn’t understand what the teacher means. Then the teacher uses the language of the girl (Indian) to say, “Sit down“, which is why she now understands what the teacher asks her to do. At the same time the teacher repeats the sentence in English. Advice for the practical implementation in German day care centres When the children don’t understand what you ask them to do, you can show them what you mean using gestures. When you speak the native language well you can tell the children what you want in the native language and then repeat the same sentence in English. Situation 2 Description of the situation A new child comes into the group and doesn’t speak English. It is very important that the new child learns the English language quickly. Observed support Every teacher has „visual cues“. These “visual cues“ show pictures of things from everyday life and, above that, the expression explaining the picture. When the child wants something she/he asks 6
the teacher. The teacher shows the “visual cues“ to the children and she/he can choose one of them. In order to give the children the possibility to learn the English language the teacher uses the new word in a full sentence. Advice for the practical implementation in German day care centres When you teach a new language to children, it is very important to use full sentences and repeat the phrase as often as you can. The “visual cues“ help them to learn the language easier and faster. The children see the pictures and understand what the teacher means because she/he knows what the picture stands for. Situation 3 Description of the situation A new child comes in the group and speaks a different language. The teacher must help the children to learn the English language. Observed support A new child is joining the group and is sitting in the building corner. The teacher is sitting next to him /her, speakin English with him/her. The teacher has a red car in his/her hand and shows it to him/her. Then the teacher names the object using just two words, namely “red car“. Advice for the practical implementation in German day care centres Children should learn easy words at the begining. The teacher should use only two expressions for the objects. It is important that the children can see the objects in order for them to make it easier to understand. 7
