    MODULE 20: CHAPTER 6


    Domains of Language and Literacy And
    Strategies for Oral Language Development

    Oral language is the foundation of learning to read and write primary Children's speaking
    and listening skills lead the way for their reading and writing skills, and together, these language
    skills are the tools of the mind for all future learning. The term oral language refers to speaking
    and listening and the term literacy refers to reading and writing.
    Glazer (1989) highlights the importance of the home in providing diverse opportunities for using oral
    language in natural ways and using speaking, reading, and writing activities in association with
    functional daily activities such as talking about shared events, reading together and writing notes.
    ‘In this way, oral language accompanies the early reading and writing experiences. Through the
    everyday experiences that they have, children gain oral language skills they need to become strong
    readers, writers, and still, it is not enough for children to learn language on their own. It is important
    that they are helped to learn language in structured activities such as shared reading, word play, and
    dramatic play. They need to be given oral language instruction and follow them. They need to be
    taught, for example, to pay attention to how words rhyme, to manipulate morphemes (e.g. plurals),
    and to listen for main ideas. They need guidance on what to say and when in varied social situations.
    They also need time, resources, and multisensory learning skills they need in school.

    Oral Language
    Young children need to develop skills in the following five primary areas of oral
    language (Roskos, Tabors, & Lenhart, 2009 pp. 1-2)

    1. Semantics - This enables children to develop meanings for the words they
    hear and say when conversing with others.
    2. Syntax or grammar - This helps children to learn the rules of how words are
    linked together.
    3. Morphology-This helps in figuring out how to manipulate the smallest units
    of meaning in the language called morphemes: pre (meaning before) and
    school.
    4. Phonology - This helps in understanding the sound structure of language.
    The smallest units of sounds of their language are the phonemes.
    5. Pragmatics This refers to understanding the social uses of language and
    basic social rules like saying "hello" and "goodbye" saying "please" and
    "thank you" and taking turns in a conversation.

    With adult's help, children develop their language skills in their preschool years, and
    together these skills form the oral language foundation for effective communication over
    a lifetime.
    Strategies for Oral Language Development
    Children succeed when they are provided with learning conditions that nurture their
    language discoveries, their different uses of language, and their first attempts to read
    and write. Such supportive learning
    environments reflect three important elements: good conversation, effective
    conversational strategies, and interesting instruction. When sensitively combined, these
    elements create enriching oral language environments where children talk and have fun.

    1.Substantive Conversation
    Is based on research and identifies how educators can continuously drive a student's
    understanding or performance towards a learning goal. It is designed to take each
    learner to the edge of learning and build their agency, instilling positive mindset and
    values.

    2.Effective Conversational Strategies


    Good conversation is an art. It is especially the case when adults seek to have
    substantive conversations with young children.

    Here are three conversation strategies that should be a part of every teacher's
    communication skills repertoire: (1) Clarify Extend, (2) Question Tell, and (3) Think
    Aloud.

     Clarify-Extend
    Research tells us that when adults define words, when they disentangle confusing ideas
    and terms, and when they add details to
    conversations, children learn more language and are exposed to more new words
    (Bloom, 2002)
    Here's how it works:
    Listen to what a child says.
    Pick up an idea on the child's talk.
    Add to it, explain it further, and disentangle any confusion.
    EXAMPLE:
    Donna: I saw dolphins at the Manila Ocean Park.
    Fred: I love dolphins. They are playful fish.
    Donna: Mama says dolphins are not fish.
    Fred: But they live in the sea and they swim.
    Teacher: Your mother is right, Donna. Dolphins aren't fish. They are
    mammals like dogs and cats. A mother dolphin gives birth to a baby
    dolphin. It feeds the baby dolphin with its milk.
     Question – Tel l
    Asking questions and telling answers are effective ways to interact
    with young children as long as these talk strategies are: built upon the
    child's interests and efforts (Wood, Mc Mahon, and Cranstour, 19800.

    Here's how the strategy words.


    Join the child in an activity.
    Draw attention to parts and details.
    Maintain interest with talk contingent on the child's effort.
    Offer praise and encouragement.

    EXAMPLE
    Daniel is completing a puzzle in which the teacher is helping him.
    Daniel: Are there pieces missing here?
    Teacher: You'll have to start the right way up. You have to get them all
    turned over the right way.
    Daniel: Does this go at the top?
    Teacher: Yes, Daniel. Look at the top of the clock again and that's the one
    that comes right at the very top. Can you see the big hand on it? Right,
    start off with that, all right.
    Daniel: This piece at the top.
    Teacher: No, that one comes next, doesn't it?
    Daniel: Then...that one goes in there and this one goes in here!
    Teacher: That's right. Now you've got the ideas.
     Think Aloud
    Teachers instill a sense of inquiry in children when they frequently
    show how they are thinking and wondering about things around them.
    When they model curiosity and think aloud, they expose children to
    the abstract uses of language, such as imagining and demonstrating
    an attitude of learning (Tough, 1981).

    Here's how it works:


    Involve the child in what you are doing.
    Verbalize your thoughts.
    Model how to think through a task or problem to a conclusion.

    EXAMPLE:
    Pay attention to how the teacher talks about what she is thinking, as
    in, "You know, I can observe this mango with all my senses." She
    then continues to "think aloud" as she describes the attributes of the
    mango.

    Miss Ocampo is introducing the children to the vocabulary and


    methods of observe, predict, check in science. She shows them a mango and says,
    "You know I can observe this mango with all my five senses. I can feel that it is
    smooth on the surface. I can even smell its distinct odor. I can shake it, but it does
    not make a sound. But I cannot see inside the mango right now. So, I can predict
    what is inside, maybe yellow stuff and a big seed. And it is ripe and delicious. How
    can I check that out, I wonder? "She then asks the children how they might check
    her predictions.

    3. Effective Instructional Techniques


    To master the less obvious oral language skills that are the foundation of literacy,
    children need to be given oral language instruction. They need to be taught, for
    example, to pay attention to how words thyme, to manipulate morphemes (e.g,
    plurals), and to listen for main ideas. They need guidance in what to say in social
    situations. At times, oral language instruction should he direct and explicit. But at the
    same time, interactions need to be sensitive, responsive, and playful.
    SUMMARY

    The development of oral language provides the basis for learning to read and write.
    Children's speaking and listening abilities set the stage for their development of reading
    and writing abilities, and when combined, these language abilities serve as the mental
    building blocks for all future learning. Speaking and listening are referred to as oral
    language, whereas reading and writing are referred to as literacy. Oral Language
    Development Techniques Children succeed when they are given the learning
    environments that support their explorations of language, their many linguistic forms,
    and their initial attempts at reading and writing. Such encouraging learning
    environments highlight three crucial components: engaging discourse, efficient
    conversational techniques, and engaging instruction. These components work well
    together to create engaging oral language environments where kids may chat and have
    fun. three conversation strategies that should be a part of every teacher's
    communication skills repertoire: (1) Clarify Extend, (2) Question Tell, and (3) Think
    Aloud.
