ABSTRACT
Each nation wants to educate their
future generation in the best possible way in order to maintain their integrity. The base
of the education is the language. A baby finds a language ready for him/her from the time
he/she is born. He or she then acquires the necessary skills by interacting with his or
her father, mother, close relatives, and social environments. The acquirement of language
is particularly fast between 2-6 years of age. Therefore the educationists or the
linguists are supposed to know the bio-phsico-social features of the child at this stage.
Because the foundation of the language, which he or she is going to continue learning, is
laid at these ages. It is necessary that the pre-school teaching of mother tongue should
be given importance in order to make the language teaching during the school much more
effective. |
