Enhancing Oral Language Development in Early Childhood

The assignment 'Enhancing Oral Language Development in Early Childhood' involves designing two learning activities for young children. The first activity focuses on literacy and communication skills through group discussions on chosen topics, while the second activity promotes understanding of gestures and body language through short video-making. The activities aim to support the development of children's oral language skills, vocabulary knowledge, and overall confidence in expressing their ideas.

3. Learning activity:
Description of a practical language or literacy activity you could use in the early childhood setting to support
the child/children’s oral language development in the Australian context. How are you going to introduce the
activity, what will you do during the activity (to involve the child/children and support their learning) and how
will you conclude the activity? (approx. 200 words).
Firstly, Literacy and learning activity will be considered and the second activity is communicating online. These would
support in enhancing the oral language development of children who sometimes find it difficult to interact or express their
ideas or thought processes.
The first activity is going to be used for understanding the vocabulary and spoken skills when participating in groups. The
teachers might use group activities like group discussions on few topics to encourage them in expressing their viewpoints.
For the second activity, the teachers might ask to make short videos in understanding their gestures and body language.
The topics needed to be chosen by the children themselves to maintain their interest levels and overall curiosity levels while
performing tasks. Parents might also be used to give some inputs for making the activities more presentable and
interesting.
The activities would be graded on their overall participation levels and eagerness to improve through cooperation and
support. Their contribution is important to conclude these activities and thus, it is important to mark the children on their
presentation skills, participation levels and supporting nature when working in teams.
4. Focus concept/s:
Identify and describe relevant key concept(s) of language and literacy that are the focus of your learning
activity plan (approx. 100 words)
Early speech in terms of using language and choice of words: This is essential in understanding the child's
vocabulary knowledge and the narrative skills when performing in a group. Along with, sense of awareness
is also crucial to know about their strengths and weaknesses. Along with, phonological awareness is useful
to comprehend the overall learning of the activity plans mentioned above.
Learning skills: This emphasis on the overall developmental growth of a child when working on any activity or
project and consists of social skills, etiquette in using the information platforms and various tools to make the
presentation better.

5. Resources/props:
Resources/props which would be used for the activity (you can include images if you wish) (50 words)
For activity 1:Literacy and learning activity- Curriculum Books and story books with chairs and the papers to write down

confidence and thus, these two activities would be useful in enhancing the child's learning abilities and bring
an awareness regarding team building ethics and overall collaboration aspect. Henceforth, it is followed on
the principles and practices laid by this framework.
