Building familiarity with the language: A pre-literacy curriculum

Regardless of the particular class in which English is introduced (Class I–III or Class IV, or Class V–VI),

build familiarity with the language (through primarily spoken or spoken-and-written input) in meaningful situations, so that the child builds up a working knowledge of the language.

“There is at least one characteristic that is common to every successful language-learning experience we have ever known, and that is that the learner is exposed one way or another to an adequate amount of the data of the language to be learned” (Rutherford 1987: 18).

The reference to “adequate data” suggests that a single textbook presented over a year is inadequate. The emphasis should shift from mastery learning of this limited input to regular exposure to a variety of meaningful language inputs.

This has implications for evaluation, to be discussed below.

Currently, the emphasis is on early literacy and mastery of answers to prescribed texts. We stress the need for a pre-literacy curriculum.
