hello everyone camilla here from
decodable readers australia today we're
going to have a look at the crucial
skill of oral language now oral language
is the foundation of all learning the
most crucial and it is the ability to be
able to understand and speak our oral
language and our language being english
now when students have the skills of
oral language they are able to
understand information process that information
information
and express so we call this receptive
and expressive language now receptive
language let's have a look at this concept
concept
receptive language refers to how a child
understands language it's the input of
language and the ability to understand
and comprehend spoken language that you
hear and eventually
language that you read now expressive
language let's have a look at expressive
this is the output
expressive language is the use of words
sentences and eventually writing to
convey meaning to others express wants
and needs thoughts and ideas argue a
point of view and to develop the use of
language to engage in successful interactions
interactions
now it's important that students can put
those words together
and have the right grammar and sentence
structure that syntax to be able to
express accurately now as educators it
is our job to provide many opportunities
for students to be immersed in
engaged in and be able to be guided in
conversation where they can
develop that receptive and expressive
language so how do we do this as
educators now if you're a parent at home
all those why questions those
discussions those talking points are so
crucial immersion is definitely the way
to go with oral language and that
development any conversations that you
can have with your students engaging in
beautiful story books and talking about
the characters and the events that are
happening all of these things can really
foster the development of oral language
now if you find that a child's oral
language is poor or they're speaking in
broken sentences it's really important
to guide that language and you can do
this in multiple ways
so let me give you an example of this if
a child says i run home so they've got
that tents mixed up
i would say oh you ran home can you say
it like this
i ran home so you're gaining the
information that the child wants to
express but you're modeling the exemplar
practice you're modeling the correct
structure of that sentence and the
correct tense in order for accuracy of
that expressive language so that's how i
see paraphrasing working by gaining the
information that the child is trying to
express and then modeling that exemplar
practice so paraphrasing can be a great
tool when developing this receptive and
expressive language
the next strategy is called parroting
now i like to use parroting as a
strategy for students that are either
early in their oral language development
either have very poor oral language or
even students with english as their
second language so english language
learners now parroting is when the
instructor goes first and the
expectation is that the student will
repeat exactly what the instructor says
now you can start very basic at word
level and then move to a very simple
sentences with two or three words and
then build in complexity now this offers
the students a way of seeing and hearing
a modeled sentence and sets up that
expectation for their expressive
language and if you think back if you've
had children or you've seen little
babies and toddlers we do this all the
time even from when they're really
little i know as a mother i would say
mummy mum me and really expect that the
child would say that back or i'll point
to objects and i will say what they are
and try and have the student or the
child in this case repeat back like car
or book
and that is that parroting that
expectation that the student or the
child will repeat back this is great for
english language learners and this
brings me to our product
in our new sounds of reading toolkits we
have a section that develops oral
language and we use these beautiful
chatterbox cards this is a picture
prompt to provide an opportunity for
language development what i love most
about these pictures they're age
appropriate for our very first couple of
years of school
they are aligned to the australian
curriculum so topics that are covered in
these beautiful pictures align to other
key learning areas like science and
health geography history and there's
just so much richness not only in
language development but building
content knowledge and vocabulary
also on the back of each card are a list
of questions developing in complexity
starting off from very basic of
identifying things within the picture to
then asking lots of questions around
opinions and what they believe and what
they want to communicate in regards to
the picture so it really helps and
guides the educator so this is a great
tool for parents and teachers even
tutors and speech pathologists to be
able to have the questions already
written in that complexity level as well
as beautiful images to really foster the
conversations every toolkit comes with a
step-by-step teaching guide so that
educators can really understand how a
lesson is run by how to introduce the
topic and have your students engage in
that lesson now over the coming weeks we
are going to add a video through this
whole series outlining each component of
our learning progressions that way
educators know all the things that are
included in a systematic synthetic
phonics approach and give lots of hints
and tips to really foster that
development of teacher knowledge and
implementation in the classroom and as
we do that we'll showcase many of our
products within our sounds of reading
toolkits so stay with me and join me on
that journey of this new series around
our toolkits [Music]
