A2 Language & Communication Discussion Questions for Young Learners (7-9)
Seven- to nine-year-olds are natural language detectives. They notice when words sound funny, they find it hilarious that 'bear' and 'bare' sound the same, and they love discovering that words in their language exist in English too. These 50 questions channel that linguistic curiosity into spoken English: 'How do you say hello in another language?' 'What is the funniest English word you know?' 'Can you count to ten in two languages?'
The vocabulary gives young learners words for talking about language itself: 'word,' 'letter,' 'speak,' 'language,' 'sound,' and 'say.' These metacognitive tools help children describe what they are doing when they learn English, which is the beginning of reflective language learning.
