, QUESTION 1
1.1
Once a child has studied and acquired a language, their skill at learning another will
increase. Language learners have the ability to translate skills from one language to
another because they’re able to recognize the rules and patterns of language, even if
the vocabulary is different.
LISTENING
The learners’ ability to concentrate when listening to an additional language will
determine their ability to successfully acquire a language. Listening is the first skill that
is carefully developed in children in grade R as they are trained to listen carefully for
sound to hear language. The more they hear, the more they absorb internally. Listening
to and hearing repetitive words spoken in English enable learners to distinguish sound
patterns and gradually decode and process words. Their ability to recall and remember
certain words will also improve. Learners, especially in grade R and 1 must be given
maximum opportunities every day to practice rhymes, poems and songs that can
familiarize them to sounds through listening.
SPEAKING
Learning to speak an additional language will be a different experience for each learner.
Teachers should bear in mind that learners are learning a first additional language and
therefore they should keep their language usage very simple when communicating.
Teachers should get learners to practice their breathing while speaking and they can do
this by taking deep breaths and then exhaling slowly to sound and pronounce letters
correctly and effectively, this, making it easy to hear and understand them. To achieve
articulation, they can give learners speech activities that exercise their jaws. These
exercises are helpful if learners’ pronunciation of their home language differs
considerably from their English one.
READING
Reading in the simplest form means to decode and identify print. Decoding words
means to break words up into their letter-spounds in order to read the word. Reading
occurs for different purposes. Knowing the very purpose for which you are reading will
determine the text you will select to read as well as the strategy you will use to read. In
the home language you will learn in depth approaches to reading and the different
methodologies to implement and teach reading skills. For the purposes of FAL reading,
we look at how learners in the foundation phase can be introduced to reading a new
language in its simplest form. Research has shown that learners’ vocabulary
development rely on the amount of reading they do. The more learners read, the more
they are exposed to words and are able to expand their vocabulary.
