Using a dual language book to learn new words

Emily Ross

DUBLIN CITY UNIVERSITY

This lesson idea focuses on the use of Polish in a literacy lesson. 
We know that creating a comfortable envinronment is important for all children and in particular for those who are learning English. It is important that these children see their homes and their identities represented in their school environment. This is why teachers should incorporate elements that children can recognise, such as language, culture and tradition. 
 
This lesson is based on Farmer Duck and it encourages children to use and thach their home language to their peers in the classroom. It is based on Polish/English, but can be adapted to any language pair.
