  5. Learning has to be relevant and purposefulConsistency and repetition are also essential. “Young children always find that new knowledge makes more sense if it is linked to something within their own experience. New knowledge for them, needs to have a purpose, this has sometimes been called “knowing how” rather than “knowing that”. Pamela May (2011) If an experience occurs daily in the children’s routine they are much more likely to learn from it, copy it and absorb it. It is therefore essential that the introduction of a FL is embedded in their daily interaction to achieve maximum impact. Elaine Weitzman & Janice Greenberg (2002)
