Developing Language in Early Years through Rich Vocabulary & Expression

Young children develop language best when they are surrounded by meaningful conversations, engaging interactions, and opportunities to express themselves confidently. This session is designed to help educators create language-rich learning environments that naturally encourage communication, imagination, and vocabulary growth in early learners.

Facilitated by Ms. Nikita Shah, an experienced PYP & MYP Educator and Learning Experience Designer, this practical and engaging workshop will focus on simple yet effective strategies that educators can immediately implement in their classrooms to strengthen children’s language and expression skills.

Participants will explore how to nurture confident speakers, active listeners, and expressive communicators through intentional classroom practices, guided conversations, and rich vocabulary experiences.
