Topic - "How language barrier effect on children confidence, behaviour or
grade”
1a. Purpose of action research
As good communication is considered as most vital for successful learning, therefore,
differences in languages among children create barriers in terms of building confidence, attentive
behaviour and achievement of grades during academic life (Dawna Duff and Bruce Tomblin,
2018). Communication barriers due to difference in languages, makes children unable to
understand the surrounding environment, sharing their ideas and interact with others. It also
arises problems in front of a child to develop a sense of self as well as feeling of belongingness
with other group or community. Therefore, purpose of present action research is to recognise
impact of comprehension language barriers on development of self-confidence and behaviour of
children, during first three to four years of academic.
1b. Key features of action research process
Differences in communication styles or language difference create obstacles in front of
children in developing their learning abilities and skills to interact with others. So, features of
present research includes study on finding how linguistic difference raise problems for children
in developing sense, learning or attentive behaviour and confidence to make interactions (Curtis
and et. al., 2019). Another key features include involvement of teachers in early childhood
education with greatest potential for fostering language acquisition in children. Along with this,
importance of good command of common language i.e. English as a more powerful tool for
people to make effective and successful interactions will also be analysed.
1c. Implications of a model of action research
In order to arrive at the satisfactory conclusion with respect to present action research’
efficacy and credibility, with high level of practical relevance, Kurt Lewin’s Model will be used
(Rhoad‐Drogalis and et. al., 2018). This model emphasis on four main modes of research as -
Plan, Act, Observe and Reflect, to address complete investigation problems and meet purpose of
the study.
