What is emphasized in the Language Experience Approach?

The Language Experience Approach emphasizes personal experiences as a basis for language. In this approach, students narrate their own experiences, which are then transformed into written text. This method connects students' personal histories with literacy development, making the context of learning more engaging and meaningful for them. It allows students to see the relevance of language in their lives and encourages them to express their thoughts and feelings in a familiar context. This approach recognizes that children learn best when the material is relevant to their own experiences, thereby promoting both language and literacy skills through authentic engagement.
