Formation of language competence of a child in many preschool and early school years

Abstract

The article defines the basic concepts of child speech development. The analysis of its various stages is combined with ways of stimulation through the actions of parents, caregivers and then teachers of preschool and early school education. The child’s mastery of the elements of language determines his communicative competence and, therefore, the effectiveness of communication in a manner appropriate to the existing conditions or a specific situation. Thus, an inseparable element of the child’s acquisition of language competence is not passive listening and repetition of heard words or phrases, but also skillful inclusion of the child in the creation of his own language, building a vocabulary by correcting and reinforcing statements. The article also points out the need to stimulate the child’s need to speak, especially in the early stages of education. The way and quality of information transmission, verbal contact with the child from the prenatal period is of vital importance for his development, which can give tangible results later and greatly facilitate the acquisition of communication skills and language competence.
