Receptive Language Activities:

- Listening activities: Play recordings of stories, songs, or conversations. Encourage learners to listen attentively and ask questions or summarize what they heard.
- Visual storytelling: Show learners pictures or videos that depict a story or event. Ask them to describe what they see and infer what is happening.
- Shared reading: Read aloud to learners from books or other texts. Model fluent reading, intonation, and expression. Encourage learners to follow along and ask questions.

Expressive Language Activities:

- Oral storytelling: Provide learners with prompts or story starters and encourage them to tell their own stories. Support their language development by asking clarifying questions and providing vocabulary assistance.
- Picture description: Show learners pictures and ask them to describe the objects, people, and actions they see in detail. Encourage them to use rich language and describe spatial relationships.
- Dramatic play: Create opportunities for learners to engage in pretend play. Provide props and costumes to facilitate imaginative role-playing and language use.

Interactive Language Activities:

- Conversation practice: Engage learners in structured conversations. Provide them with prompts or discussion topics and encourage them to ask questions, share ideas, and respond appropriately.
- Language games: Play games that involve language use, such as charades, Simon Says, or Bingo. These games foster listening, comprehension, and vocabulary development.
- Group discussions: Facilitate group discussions on topics of interest to learners. Encourage them to share their perspectives, ask questions, and actively participate in the conversation.

Activities for All Learners:

- Sensory experiences: Engage learners through sensory activities that stimulate language development. Use tactile, auditory, visual, and olfactory stimuli to create a rich learning environment.
- AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication): Provide learners with access to AAC devices or strategies to support their language expression if necessary.
- Peer support: Encourage learners to work together in pairs or small groups to complete language activities. Peer interaction can foster language development and collaboration.
