If you don\u2019t volley back the ball, you can\u2019t continue playing and the game is over. Similarly, the way an adult responds to a child\u2019s verbal communication will have a significant impact on the child\u2019s language development.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>In order to develop and enrich a child\u2019s language, and subsequently his reasoning skills, it\u2019s important to first determine his current level of communication. This level can be evaluated by paying attention to the child\u2019s sentence structure \u2013 simple, joined, or complex as well as to the vocabulary he uses \u2013 the nouns, verbs, adjectives and spatial and time-related words. Body movement and gestures are also a mode of communication and should be taken note of as well. Just like in the ping-pong game, when one player doesn\u2019t throw back the ball, the game ends, so too, an adult\u2019s failure to respond will halt the communicative interaction.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>After evaluating a child\u2019s language and communication level, we can work on improving and expanding his language skills, while keeping in mind several factors:<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><ul><li><strong>Developing language skills does not just mean equipping the child with the ability to answer questions<\/strong>, but rather encouraging spontaneous and extensive communication. In effective communication, a topic is elaborated on in a series of related sentences.<\/li><li>When a child wants something, we should wait for him to verbalize his wants. It\u2019s not wise to give into his demands right away (before he verbalizes it) even if we know exactly what it is that he wants.<\/li><li>Every attempt by a child to communicate should be responded to, even if it is on a below-than-expected level. It\u2019s important to acknowledge and encourage every communicative signal whether it\u2019s eye contact, a request, taking a turn, continuing a topic of discussion, or asking questions.<\/li><li>In order to raise a child\u2019s language level we need to use \u201cwhy\u201d questions and other open-ended questions. Using open-ended questions, as opposed to just yes\/no questions, is a prime way to promote language enhancement.<\/li><li>We need to show interest in a child\u2019s initiated communication and it\u2019s important to confirm our comprehension by paraphrasing his words.<\/li><li>One way to help expand a child\u2019s vocabulary and sentence structure is by elaborating on a topic of discussion by using richer language and descriptions.<\/li><li>For a child who has difficulty speaking, it is not wise to talk instead of him in order to make things easier for him or just to break the silence. By talking instead of the child, the teacher\/parent is taking away the child\u2019s chance to initiate communication and with it, his confidence. If we won\u2019t empower the child with the ability and confidence to initiate communication, he will end up only answering questions. A child who takes the courage to initiate conversation will progress faster than a child who just responds to questions. If the child sees that the adult is patient and ready to hear him out, he will try to initiate and conduct conversations even if he isn\u2019t 100% sure how correct his language usage is. This is how he will enhance his language skills.<\/li><li>It\u2019s important to remember that in language development,\u00a0<strong>comprehension always precedes expression\u00a0<\/strong>and it is also more comprehensive, so it\u2019s vital to work on each element separately.<\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>In a classroom setting, a teacher should strive to incorporate vocabulary enrichment in every lesson. At the end of this article, you will find a model for language enrichment that can be applied to any subject matter. By referring to this model while building a lesson plan, teachers can upgrade their lessons from a simple vehicle through which knowledge is conveyed to a springboard for language and thought enhancement.
