Communication strategies of children in situations introduction of new vocabulary in a foreign language
Abstract
A significant part of a child's initiative speech in a preschool institution is associated, as a rule, with his psychophysiological state, often with discomfort, With the state of affairs in the group, in particular, with violations of order, with thoughts of home and references to what the child did at home, with a desire to share my information about the world, etc. Communication in the second language can become natural only when the construction of such remarks becomes accessible to the child. Usually, teachers who organize communication with children during classes in a second language include in their speech only remarks related to the organization of some types of children's activities and expressing the teacher's assessment of its results. Expressions related to the requests of children are not included, statements reflecting the real course of the children's play, remarks in which the child asks the adult for confirmation of the correctness of their actions, etc. These situations are constant in English lessons with children, but always take place in their native language. In the same time due to their frequency, emotional significance for the child, they can be learned very quickly by children and in the target language.
