LANGUAGE AND LITERACY ACTIVITIES

The course intends to introduce student-teachers to language development for effective listening, speaking, reading and writing skills in young children. It fosters development of basic language and communication skills - both verbal and non-verbal through the use of play, games and other child centred activities. It will also foster appreciation of literature and reading of first and second language. The course further equips student-teachers with appropriate teaching strategies for language acquisition and development of pre-reading and pre-writing skills.
