(9)
ANSWER:
Creating a language-rich classroom environment for Grade R (pre-primary or
kindergarten) learners involves immersing them in meaningful language experiences
across all four language skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Here are three
activities that can facilitate the incidental learning of these skills:
Activity 1: Circle Time Storytelling and Discussion (Listening and Speaking Skills)
Objective: Enhance listening and speaking skills through storytelling and group discussion.
Activity Description:
During circle time, choose a captivating story appropriate for Grade R learners.
Read the story aloud using expressive tone and gestures, encouraging learners to actively
listen and engage with the content.
After reading, initiate a group discussion by asking open-ended questions related to the
story. Encourage learners to share their thoughts, predict outcomes, and express their
favorite parts of the story.
Activity 2: Show and Tell (Speaking and Listening Skills)
Objective: Foster speaking and listening skills by promoting communication and vocabulary
expansion.
Activity Description:
Designate a "Show and Tell" day, where each learner brings a special object or item from
home to share with the class.
Encourage learners to describe their item, explaining its significance, color, size, and any
interesting details. This promotes descriptive language and vocabulary development.
After each presentation, facilitate a brief Q&A session, where classmates can ask
questions and provide positive feedback.
