[Course Title] Creating a Language Rich Environment One of the most important tasks for children in the first five years of life is the development of language. Children enter early care settings with vast differences in vocabulary and oral language development, and early educators can meet this challenge by providing language-rich learning environments. This course will provide early childhood educators with an understanding of young children's oral language development and appropriate approaches for promoting language and emergent literacy in their classrooms. This course will focus on effective methods for developing children's vocabulary knowledge through book reading and discussions, and advancing children's language through extended conversations. Additionally, participants will learn to create opportunities for rich discourse and build children's background knowledge. Workshops assignments will invite participants to apply relevant content and plan meaningful, language-rich curricular activities.
