MAKE LANGUAGE LEARNING ENJOYABLE FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED

 


MAKE LANGUAGE LEARNING ENJOYABLE FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED

Mamaestras must not see language teaching as a burden. It must be enjoyable and beneficial to her. We should include language in daily family routines in many fun ways to help establish positive associations with the language from an early age. For example, all parents can read simple books to their children. Listen to the mamaestra's song while driving. We incorporate music to enjoy everyone as well as an art book to inspire moms to create the best artwork for their children. 

In addition to fostering a bond with your young child, this is also a great way to boost second language vocabulary among the whole family. Organizing parties with friends whose main language is your target language.  Invite your child to participate in the language on a trip. Use fun vocabulary for everyone like: Vamos a … (let’s go to…) Todo el mundo (everybody) Dame tus cinco (give me five), among questions, or courtesy phrases like “gracias”, “por favor”. 

Finding a school or program that offers active immersion language should also be fun and enjoyable when choosing educational programs. There is an enormous amount of resources available, from heritage schools, immersion camps, and courses at cultural centers to bilingual education programs in public and private schools to tutors and language classes for babies and children. You should choose a program that has clearly defined goals, emphasizes bilingualism, biliteracy, and biculturalism, has enthusiastic teachers, and actively uses the target language (rather than only teaching it). Make sure the program is right for you and your family by observing a lesson, asking questions about the curriculum, and evaluating if it reflects your beliefs about language learning as well as if it is compatible with your child's needs and personality.
