Subject: Early Childhood Education Language: ENGLISH Grade Level: Teachers/Educators Country of Origin: U.S. Copyright Year: Running Time: 30 Rights: PPR Going beyond words: What's it like when a child is surrounded by English he can't understand? Most viewers discover as Russian and Vietnamese speakers immerse them in language that is incomprehensible. But when these speakers add a set of communication strategies to their words, viewers begin to get their messages. Communication strategies boost understanding: It's not just what we communicate, but how we communicate, that gets our message across. Now you can teach a repertoire of communication skills, the cues and signals that accentuate meaning. With this help, young English language learners can make sense of what we are saying even before they can understand individual words and phrases. Viewers will learn: - That language alone is only 20% of our total communication - Simple nonverbal techniques that help every child - How to use an array of gestures to increase understanding - How visuals and real objects help children make connections - How modeling enables children to be more successful - Why to slow down and check for understanding - When to balance listening/processing with active, hands-on activities |
