  Learning First Language at Home and School


Hi, readers!

Welcome back to my blog! Today we will discuss about Learning First Language at Home and School. 

Language is primarily a means of communication. The signals used to transmit telegraphic messages etc., are all communication systems and they are interpreted in language. Language is used by human beings to communicate ideas, to transmit messages and to express emotions, desires and feelings. 



First language acquisition is not dependent on intelligence or special ability for languages. Everyone acquires their native language fully and properly. What is true is that some people have a greater stylistic range and larger vocabulary in their native language but that is not connected with first language acquisition. You learn style in school when you learn how to write the standard of your language and you learn specialized words consciously after childhood.


Learning first language at home

UNESCO has encouraged mother tongue (home language) instruction in primary education since 1953 and UNESCO highlights the advantages of mother tongue education right from the start: children are more likely to enroll and succeed in school, parents are more likely to communicate with teachers and participate in their children’s learning, and children in mother tongue education tend to develop better thinking skills.


Firstly learning does not begin in school. Learning starts at home in the learners’ home language. Although the start of school is a continuation of this learning, it also presents significant changes in the mode of education. But when learners start school in a language that is still new to them, it leads to a teacher approach and reinforces passiveness in classrooms. When learners speak or understand the language used to instruct them, they develop reading and writing skills faster and in a more meaningful way.

Assessment is the process of gathering and discussing information from multiple and diverse sources in order to develop a deep understanding of what students know, understand, and can do with their knowledge as a result of their educational experiences; the process culminates when assessment results are used to improve.

The teachers can adjust their teaching to suit the needs and learning styles of the students.
