Abstract

Djeca počinju usvajati jezik i prije izgovorene prve riječ. Iako je to složen proces, djeca usvajaju jezik s nevjerojatnom lakoćom. Jedan od načina usvajanja jezika kod djece je i kroz jezične igre. Igra je djeci prirodna aktivnost u kojoj uživaju, pa su jezične igre, kao spoj jezika i igre, dobar način za jezični razvoj. Uz roditelje i obitelj, veliku ulogu u jezičnome razvoju imaju i odgojitelji. Pričanje priča, čitanje slikovnica, jezične igre i svakodnevni razgovori neki su od načina kojima djeca usvajaju jezik. U radu su prikazana dva istraživanja. Cilj prvog istraživanja bio je ispitati koliko jezične igre utječu na usvajanje jezika kod djece vrtićke i
predškolske dobi. Istraživanje je provedeno u dječjem vrtiću u mješovitoj vrtićkoj skupini koja broji 25 djece od tri do sedam godina. Istraživalo se hoće li djeca bolje usvojiti određene prijedloge, boje, brojeve, imenice i zanimanja ukoliko se s njima tijekom mjesec dana provodi 12 jezičnih igara. Istraživanje je pokazalo da jezične igre imaju veliku ulogu kod usvajanja
jezika kod djece jer su djeca iz skupine pokazala velik napredak. Cilj drugog istraživanja bio je ispitati provode li odgojitelji jezične igre i koji je njihov utjecaj na usvajanje jezika kod djece vrtićke i predškolske dobi. Istraživanje je pokazalo da odgojitelji u svojim skupinama često provode jezične igre, smatraju da su one važne za poticanje usvajanja jezika te da kod djece vide napredak u usvajanju jezika. Zaključno, jezične igre imaju velik utjecaj na usvajanje jezika kod djece. Za jezični, ali i cjelokupni razvoj djece potrebno je s njima puno razgovarati, pružiti im dobre uzore, poticajno okruženje te puno podrške, razumijevanja i ljubavi.

Abstract (english)

Children begin to acquire language even before the first word is spoken. Although it is a complex process, children acquire language with incredible ease. One of the ways of language acquisition in children is language games. Play is a natural activity that children enjoy, so language games, as a combination of language and games, are a good way for language
development. Along with parents and family, teachers also play a big role in language development. Telling stories, reading picture books, language games and everyday conversations are some of the ways children acquire language. The paper presents two studies. The aim of the first study was to examine how language games affect language acquisition in
kindergarten and preschool children. The research was conducted in a kindergarten in a mixed kindergarten group of 25 children from three to seven years old. It was investigated whether children will learn better certain prepositions, colors, numbers, nouns and occupations if 12 language games are played with them over the course of a month. Research has shown that language games play a major role in children's language acquisition, as children from the group showed great progress. The aim of the second study was to examine whether teachers conduct language games and what their influence is on language acquisition in kindergarten and preschool children. The research showed that educators often conduct language games in their groups, they consider them important for encouraging language acquisition and that they see
progress in language acquisition in children. In conclusion, language games have a great impact on children's language acquisition. For the linguistic and overall development of children, it is necessary to talk to them a lot, provide them with good role models, a stimulating environment and a lot of support, understanding and love.
