简介

借用“感官”经验发展小朋友学习华文的能力

一块冰，可以激发孩子“说”的欲望；一张图片，可以帮助孩子加深对故事的理解。这个工作坊将通过五官教学（视觉、听觉、嗅觉、味觉、触觉）及鹰架教学（语言鹰架、材料鹰架、同伴鹰架）促进幼儿学习华文的兴趣，同步提升幼儿的认知发展、专注力及创造力。

Synopsis

Leveraging on the Five Senses in Developing Skills to Learn Chinese Language

A piece of ice may motivate children to speak; an image or a photo may help children to develop a deeper understanding of the stories read.

In this sharing session, the use of multiple sensory play (i.e. visual, auditory, olfactory, gustatory and tactile) and scaffolding strategies (i.e. linguistics scaffolding, curriculum resources scaffolding and peer scaffolding) will be introduced. These will ignite children’s interest in learning Chinese, and enhance cognitive development, concentration and creativity in children.
