Language Support in the Forest

Serious Topics

The training "Language Support in the Forest" demonstrates how the forest can be used as a learning environment to promote children's language skills. Being in nature provides authentic opportunities to express oneself, listen, and interact. Through movement, sensory experiences, and collective discovery, children can broaden their vocabulary, improve grammar, and develop narrative abilities. The focus is on creating language-promoting situations in both free play and guided activities. The course explains how to integrate language development into everyday life, also for multilingual children or those with language delays. The adult's role as a language model will be discussed. The methods are practical and easily applicable in day-to-day educational contexts, including future outings in the forest.
