"To learn a language is to have one more window from which to look at the
world
." – Chinese Proverb.
Pre-school is an educational place where children typically over 3 and under 5
years old can attend to. And they are designed to support children by health, education,
feelings and so on. Pre-school gives opportunity of joining social environment and
adoptation to groups and teams. And preschool is introduction to the education, society
and friendship.
Pre-school education refers to structural learning and systematic education
programme that children between 3 and 5 years old is taught. In kindergartens children
learn group working and team joining, individual development and how to react games.
The importance of teaching languages at pre-school is essential today's society
as learning starts from birth. As Maria Montessori said: “
The most important period
of life is not the age of university studies, but the first one, the period from birth
to the age of six. For that is the time when intelligence itself is being formed
.” This
means learning till the age of 6 is the most crucial period of life as it is beginning of
learning and adopting. In these ages children have emotional feelings to the life and
interests to learn new things. But what about the university age, this age is also good
for learning if the learner is disciplined.
Methods for teaching vocabulary to kindergarten kids
The methods should be conducted lesson dominating by the teacher. The method
of "
Show me
" is one of the common way of teaching new words. In this method the
firstly teacher tells the name of the object with its translation. Then in order to develop
memorization of children the teacher shows one object that is existing in the classroom.
And asks one of the kids to stand up and asks to show something: for example "Sanjar,

show me the tiger toy, Mohira, show him a doll, Nigora, show Salima an apple and so
on". This method helps kids learn new words with imagination of their views. And
there is a device called "
Answer the question
". In this method teacher asks simple
questions as "what is it?, what colour is it? and etc. Then kids try to answer the
questions as possible as they can, kind a" doll, boll, red, toy and like this ". Even they
are not giving the full and true answers including" it is a ball, this colour is red", they
are learning new words and this a result. And final method is "
Describe an object
", in
this teaching technique the educator calls one child and asks to describe chosen objects
as "fish, apple, book...". Then a child tries to describe an object with simple adjective
they learned, he may forget using articles or can not use words orderly. It is not a
problem because they are learning new words. This method develops not only
vocabulary skills but also
speaking
ability of children.
Methods for teaching pronunciation to kindergarten kids
The first an typical way of teaching pronunciation is "
Repetition
", this method
requires children to repeat the new word in chorus after the teacher. This causes to
redundancy of mispronunciation of the words in children's tongues. But in this method
one of the kids may mispronounce the word and teacher may not pay attention. For
example the word "five" it seems that everydiv is pronuncing the word "five as [fayf]
but there is a pupil who pronounces the word" five" as [fays] in situation the teacher
should do the "
repetition individually
" this helps children to pronounce the words
with confidence and in correct way. Next is "
Hearing from native speaker
" or from
radio and speakers. In this way teaching puts on the video or audio that calls names of
things (animals, tools...) in target language then children repeat after the audio. By this
way children improve their not only pronunciation but also
listening
skills.
Methods for teaching grammar skill to kindergarten kids
"Grammar is the logic of speech, even as logic is the grammar of reason."
– Richard C. Trench.
Beginning to learn grammar from the kindergarten age is vital to use the
language correctly. And the teachers should teach the grammar to the kids on the
interesting way. For instance: "
Sing a song
" method. In this device teacher finds a song
that includes grammar rules or examples of one of the topics of the grammar skill. First
lesson children learn the song with fun and next lesson they automatically understand
the grammar lesson and it will not be boring grammar lesson. Take an English song as
an example:
"Every day, every day
I go to school, I go to school
I meet my friends, I meet my friends
And all we say:
" - Hello, hello, hello, hello

-How are you?
- I am good I am great,
What about you? "
After learning this song, the kids are ready to learn present simple, to be and can
learn diologues. The teacher should teach with reminding the song they have learnt.
This way of grammar learning never makes grammar lessons long and boring this
assists children to learn grammar skills with fun.
In conclusion, the importance of teaching language skills at the age of
kindergarten is first step to the world of language learning. And to achieve the best in
teaching language to pre-school kids is to know using the correct method according to
their children’s approach.
