It's most effective if students are able to practise before they record so they can do their best. Literature should abound in the classroom. Read aloud simple stories that can be understood with pictures and actions. Young non-readers usually begin to associate the written word with what they hear and eventually begin to read. Encourage parents to read to learners at home in their own language since this makes the transition to reading English easier.
Folktales are especially familiar and predictable for children.
Speaking practice should be encouraged as much as possible both in school and when students are away from the school. Extracurricular activities at home or in the community are useful ways to promote oral practice outside of the school, and students should spend time with English speakers during periods such as the lunch hour or while walking home from school. Repetitive choral readings, songs and chants allow students to practise the rhythm and stress of language in addition to teaching them more vocabulary. Total physical response activities, where actions are performed and objects manipulated, give meaningful listening practice that is reinforced by the physical element. Listening stations, where students can listen to stories and information about topics connected to classwork, are a valuable language-learning strategy.
