    Language development in primary classes is facilitated :
    Question

    Language development in primary classes is facilitated :

    A.

    When teachers stress upon and enforce the use of formal language.

    B.

    When teachers ignore and dismiss the mother tongue of the children.

    C.

    When teachers begin from signs and symbols rather than concrete objects.

    D.

    When teachers use concrete examples to refer to abstract concepts.

    Correct option is D

    Effective language development strategies in the classroom involve connecting new vocabulary and concepts to students' existing knowledge and experiences. Using concrete examples to illustrate abstract concepts helps young learners grasp the meanings and applications of new words and phrases more readily. This method of teaching is based on the cognitive learning principle that people learn better when new information is related to what they already know.
    Information Booster:
    (a) Stressing the use of formal language can be too rigid and may not cater to the developmental stages of all primary school children, as they may not yet have mastered formal language structures.
    (b) Ignoring or dismissing the mother tongue of the children can hinder language learning rather than facilitate it. Research supports the integration of students' first language in learning as it aids in the understanding of new concepts.
    (c) Starting with signs and symbols rather than concrete objects may be abstract for young learners, who typically benefit from direct, tangible examples that they can see and touch, helping them to better understand and internalize language concepts.
