About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The focus of the project "Language Acquisition through Fun and Games" is on supporting early childhood language acquisition for children growing up in a multi-lingual environment. Children between the ages of two and six take part in small playgroups to promote German language acquisition. The children's enthusiasm for the subjects and the games as well as the quality of the implementation are essential factors for the success of the project. In addition to direct support for the children, the focus is on work with parents. In discussions, lectures and workshops, they gain knowledge and confidence in coping with multilingualism in everyday life. Children acquire language unconsciously until the age of seven. The use of this time window was the starting point for designing the language support project which combines fun with German language acquisition.
