Learning the first language at home and at school

 


Hello guys, welcome back to my blog!

I hope all of you guys are in a good condition😇

So, guys, as you can see in the title, now I'm going to talk about learning the first language at home and at school.

Home and school are two environments which influence most of children's personality and knowledge, because these two places are where the children spend most of their time. In these places, they start to develop their basic knowledge, one of which is their language.

How the children speak, what kinds of vocabularies they used, and else. All are influenced by the family or teachers and school's participants because those people are who teach the children to speak at the very start.

We might think that the kinds of vocabularies needed in home and school is same. But, in fact, it's not. Apparently, kinds of vocabularies needed in home is really different compared to school. 

For example, in school we have many vocabularies which are really seldom to use in daily activities in home. Such as, square root (math), photosynthesis (biology), chemical (chemistry), mass (physics), etc.

The kinds of vocabulary used in home is called as basic interpersonal communicative skill (BICS). Here the vocabularies used are simpler, common, and easy because this kinds of words are used offtenly in our daily activities. While the kinds of vocabulary used in school is called as cognitive academic language proficiency (CALP) which is more complex, rare, and difficult because this kinds of words are rarely used.

So, there are two kinds of vocabularies which develop children's first language and these two are developed in different places. So, it's hoped that all the parents, carers, teachers, etc. participated well in developing children's first language in order to achieve children's language proficiency.

Materials Evaluation and Materials Design

Hello, nice to see you again! When teaching English to young learners, all things needed is really different compared to teaching older learners, including the materials.  In teaching young learners, we need to design materials that not only needed or important to be taught, but also we have to consider the readiness of the learners to learn those mateials. No matter how important a certain material needed, if the learners don't ready yet, then it would be useless. Not only in designing the materials, but teacher also need to consider the materials evaluation. We have to avoid a bias evaluation and an unfair materials evaluation. We should evaluate based on the student's position, point of view, inteligence, personality, condition, etc. We shouldn't give the same evaluation for every individual that obviously different one another.

Assessment

Hello fellas!!! Speaking about assessment, we usually think about grading, scoring, judging. It's about the result of assessing that can be in the form of quality or quantity. Almost everyday in every area in our life, we face that thing that called assessment. It can be assessment in school, assessment in job, etc. In teaching English to young learners we also need that so-called assessment. But in assessing young learners, we need a different way to assess compared to older learners. We need to assess the kids carefully in order to avoid an issue where the toung learners would lose their interest in learning cause in some cases children who got a low grade may lose their motivation in learning. Maybe it's because they have studied really hard, they have given their best, but when they got a low assessment they'll think like their effort is useless.  So, in order to keep them motivated, we shouldn't give only one assessment to achieve the goal. Because every student ha...

Hello guys, see you again in this lovely day. Do you guys have rituals that y'all did with your teacher back in school? You know, I mean, it's a kind of habit that you did whether it's before entering the class, during the class, or after the class. I guess you have, don't you?  Cause you know when we're in school, especially in elementery school, we usually had habits like greeted the teacher or kissed the teachers' hands or whatever.  Well, today I'm going to talk about those habits or so-called rituals that I had back in elementary school days.  When I was in elementary school, the rituals we usually did in the morning when we're in the courtyard doing the go-ahead. We usually had a 'sarapan pagi'. Here, the 'sqrapan pagi' is not kind of break fast that people usually have, like having a meal. Here, we did like counting. So, the teachers would choose the student randomly then everyone who was chosen would do the counting while the teac...
