Language Showering

What is Language Showering?

Language showering is a language teaching method used specifically with young learners. Many may be more familiar with the term language immersion, and language showering does share many characteristics and aims with language immersion. The learner’s activity and making learning fun are key elements in language showering. One of the main elements of the method is, for example, to encourage learners to become interested in and helping them get familiar with foreign languages. During language showering sessions, cooperation and doing together, making learning meaningful and fun, being spontaneous, positive pedagogy, and giving and receiving positive feedback are important. Language showering is a low-threshold way for teaching languages to young learners; basically anyone familiar with the basics of a language can learn to language shower, and the sessions can be made efficient and activating moments part of children’s days.
