The UAE is a cross-cultural meeting with over 200 nationalities with up to 25 languages spoken every day. Based on the commitment of Lady Bird to develop children's skills, the nursery has introduced new and advanced activities to ensure that students are introduced to multiple languages at an early age through interactive materials such as songs, dolls, music and storytelling to develop their brains and language skills.
The nursery has adopted the French program "Bonjour" and the Arabic program "Marhaba" at introductory levels where the two programs are designed to attract the attention of students towards learning another language, which makes them understand the new language easily.
Lady Bird Nursery Chief Executive Monica Valerini recommends several ways to encourage pupils to learn a new language by:
• Purchasing comic books containing phrases in a foreign language:
This is the closest approach to your child rather than memorization and memorization.
• Watch a cartoon movie in a new language with subtitles at the bottom of the screen:
The children have a strong picture memory, which makes the child more love of cartoon films and master the language displayed.
• Listen to songs in the car in a different language and encourage singing in parallel:
The use of some songs dedicated to teaching children new languages is an easy and simple means and basically aims to teach the child to hear words as well as learning without knowing some grammar and listening well.
• Urge children to use dolls to pronounce numbers and words in a new language:
Some children's games that are based on teaching children new languages are an effective way of motivating a child to learn a new language without suffering.
Monica Valrani, chief executive of Lady Bird Nursery, said: "With regard to children's brain development, research has shown that those who learn a second language show higher levels of creativity and mental flexibility.
It also enhances their problem-solving skills, critical thinking, listening, and concentration. Bilingual children often have more literacy and math skills than those who speak only one language. ”
