Getting parents involved

Children also like their parents to be involved and understand what and how they are learning. Here are some tips and advice you can give to parents to help them support their child as a learner.
How you can help your child to learn another language
  • Get involved with their learning
  • Be interested in what happens in your child's English lessons

How children learn languages

Children learn by:
  • Having more opportunities to be exposed to the second language
  • Making associations between words, languages, or sentence patterns and putting things into clear, relatable contexts
  • Using all their senses and getting fully involved; by observing and copying, doing things, watching and listening
  • Exploring, experimenting, making mistakes and checking their understanding
  • Repetition and feeling a sense of confidence when they have established routines
  • Being motivated, particularly when their peers are also speaking/learning other languages

What stops children from learning

  • Feeling uncomfortable, distracted or under pressure
  • Feeling confused by abstract concepts of grammar rules and their application which they cannot easily understand
  • Activities which require them to focus attention for a long time
  • Boredom
  • Being over-corrected
