Exam 3: Facilitating Oral Language Learning
How can sharing/show-and-tell be turned into a valuable oral language activity?
Traditional sharing involves having one child speak to the entire class. This activity can be transformed into a valuable oral language activity by limiting group size and encouraging children in the audience to actively participate by asking questions and making comments.
How should teachers teach new vocabulary words?
Vocabulary learning can be promoted through direct instruction of word meanings and through incidental learning from contexts that provide rich opportunities to hear and use new vocabulary words. Teachers should attempt to connect words that are being taught to other parts of the academic curriculum: ongoing thematic units, books that are being read, field trips, etc. These vocabulary-curriculum connections provide opportunities for children to encounter the targeted words repeatedly in a short period of time-a crucial factor in word learning.
