What is a good way for a teacher to include a child's native language in the classroom?

  1. Teach class songs in both English and other languages

  2. Limit conversations to only English

  3. Provide all instructions in English

  4. Encourage reading solely in English

The correct answer is: Teach class songs in both English and other languages

Incorporating a child's native language in the classroom enriches the learning environment and fosters an inclusive atmosphere. Teaching class songs in both English and the child's native language not only validates the child's background but also enhances their engagement with the material. This dual-language approach helps children feel more comfortable and confident, promotes cultural appreciation, and aids in language development by allowing them to draw connections between languages. Providing all instructions in English or limiting conversations solely to English excludes non-English speakers from participating fully in the classroom community. Encouraging reading solely in English can hinder a child's literacy development if that is not their primary language, potentially creating barriers to understanding the content being delivered. Overall, bilingual songs serve as a bridge that facilitates meaningful interaction and connection with the curriculum and peers.
