Sprache verstehen statt nur richtig sprechen – Bildung im Alltag der Kita

What does language development really mean in everyday kindergarten life? In this video about the Brandenburg Education Plan, Sandra Niebuhr-Siebert explains why language is far more than just "speaking correctly." Children use language to build relationships, understand their world, and develop their identity. The video shows why functional language competence is crucial, how multilingualism can be used as a resource, and why genuine communication is more important than language exercises or repetition. Language develops in everyday life—through play, interaction, and relationships. More information at www.bildungsplan-brandenburg.de —also available as an audiobook.
