Abstract

U ovome je radu istaknuta važnost institucijskoga konteksta odnosno povezanost različitih dimenzija konteksta koji određuju kvalitetu utjecaja na život i razvoj djeteta u njemu te na uspostavljanje i razvoj komunikacije između odgojitelja i djece. U radu je riječ o kontekstualnome pristupu učenja stranoga jezika u vrtićima. Posebice je istaknuta važnost uloge odgojitelja i ranoga odgoja te stvaranja poticajnoga prostorno-materijalnoga okružja kao nužni preduvjeti za kontekstualni pristup poučavanju stranoga jezika. Poznato je da djeca imaju urođenu želju za istraživanjem i komuniciranjem. Dijete rane i predškolske dobi strani jezik najbolje uči u poticajnome jezičnom kontekstu. Za to je najprimjereniji situacijski, odnosno kontekstualni pristup učenju, koji djetetu omogućuje upoznavanje, razumijevanje i smislenu uporabu stranoga jezika u nizu različitih igra, aktivnosti i situacija. Provedeno je i istraživanje kako odgojitelji potiču učenje i usvajanje stranoga jezik u vrtićima, kakav je interes djece za strani jezik te uloga prostorno-materijalnoga okružja pri poučavanju stranoga jezika.

Abstract (english)

This paper discusses the importance of the institutional context, i.e. the interconnectedness of different dimensions of said context, which determine the quality of its influence on children's development and on the development of communication between the educator and child. Furthermore, the contextual approach to learning a foreign language in kindergartens is examined. The paper aims to stress the importance of the role of educators and early childhood education and the creation of a stimulating spatial and material environment as necessary preconditions for a contextual approach to foreign language learning. Children have an innate desire to explore and communicate. Young children and preschoolers best learn a foreign language in a stimulating language context. This is best achieved through a situational or contextual approach to language learning, which allows the child to get to know, understand and meaningfully use a foreign language in several different games, activities and situations. Research has also been conducted on how educators encourage foreign language learning in kindergartens, children's interest in a foreign language and the role of the spatial-material environment in learning a foreign language.
