Children with Down syndrome have cognitive and language deficits secondary to a genetic disorder involving trisomy of the 21st chromosome. Language learning is particularly problematic for these children, for that reason, This is the first question that you think when you look a child with Down syndrome learning a second language: Can children with Down syndrome learn more than one language?And the answer is YES, Some new evidence is beginning to indicate that children with Down syndrome can pick up a second language like other children, and doesn't cause negative effects on their first language.
How we can do that? Using tools like flash cards, songs, objects, the children want to take part and in order to do so must understand what others are saying or have written. For example using music the children can learn grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation in just a few of rhymes and can also provide a relaxed lesson in a boring day.
Games are highly motivating because they are amusing and interesting. They can be used to give practice in all language skills and be used to practice many types of communication.
