Approche Neuro-Linguistique à la maternelle
Pierre-Luc St-Amant
|
Utiliser les techniques de l'approche neuro-linguistique (ANL) à la maternelle en langue seconde, est-ce possible? Oui! Et les élèves en retirent des bénéfices. L'ANL peut être utilisée pour développer les compétences de communication orale, à condition d'adapter la technique originale. Il en résulte un sentiment d'accomplissement chez l'élève et on jette les bases de l'acquisition de la grammaire interne du français pour les années à venir.

Why? How? Why?
Inquiry, play-based learning offers incredible opportunities for children to explore and to develop an understanding of the world around them. We will share ideas and examples of how we help our students to create a culture of wonder by encouraging questions, testing theories, exploring ideas, and extending inquiries. We will also explore ways to authentically incorporate literacy, numeracy, and problem-solving opportunities in different areas of our learning spaces.

Young students engaged in tasks that require creativity and critical thinking enjoy the opportunity to make sense of the world around them. They learn to collaborate and build their oral communication skills. Working through a lens of science, technology, engineering and math, Kindergarten and primary students take charge of their own learning in a fun and challenging way. We will answer the questions of what does STEM learning look like in the youngest grades, how to incorporate STEM in your own classroom, how to use a cross-curricular approach to ensure there is time in your schedule and how can you get started on this road of wonder and awe.
