1 |
Learning English means learning vocabulary, grammar, comprehension and fluency.
|
See the other pages on these topics. |
2 |
The types of vocabulary, grammar, comprehension and fluency issues a child learning English will face are likely to be very different from those faced by a native speaker of English.
|
See the special materials in the center on English as a foreign language or see the Program Coordinator for advice. |
3 |
The web can be a great resource for materials of interest to the child you tutor.
|
Try to find something just a little hard and go over vocabulary and grammar before reading it. If you guessed wrong about which things would be difficult, go over the vocabulary and grammar and then REREAD the text. |
4 |
A child whose first language is one you do not speak can be particularly challenging.
|
For some of the more common languages, there are online and book dictionaries in the center. |
