Presentation

This course aims to provide students with a set of skills that will enable them to promote the ability to understand the importance of learning the mother tongue in childhood. The main goal of the learning of the mother tongue in pre-school education and in primary education is the structuring of thought through language and, consequently, the awareness of the basic and linguistic mechanisms, with a view to the development of the child's communicative and linguistic skills. In fact, being a kindergarten teacher and a primary teacher, taking into account the mother tongue, is not only to envision language learning as a formal system, but above all, also to take into account aspects of the social and individual dimension of language use, or that is, the pragmatic and discursive - textual dimensions of the language. The role of these teachers is, therefore, to try to ensure that children progressively use the language with more correctness, not only taking into account their structural improvement, but especially thinking about the adequacy of different verbal acts to different communication situations.
