Language awareness is important for language learners at any age. This does not mean that we need to isolate grammar teaching, but rather intentionally incorporate and reinforce appropriate grammatical structures in content classes. As educators, we need to draw student attention to key terms, phraseology, language patterns and grammatical conventions that our young students can use to feel confident and successful in speaking languages that are different than their home language(s).* Even in pre-school, students will assimilate and be able to interact with information more readily if they are schooled in language and communication awareness at the same time.
This scaffold is one way of addressing this challenge. The activity will help your students to understand the different elements of a sentence in a cooperative, verbal and kinesthetic context. The example we give below is from a natural science class on types of animals. You’ll see how you can adapt it easily to whatever lesson you’re planning.
