The Language JungLe: Speech Training in a natural learning arena abSTracT The project presented is one in cooperation with Tusenbein (Centipede), our close partner preschool near Mo i Rana, a town in Northern Norway.Here they have constructed a climbing jungle in the woods not far from the preschool, where the children can work with social skills, bodily-kinesthetic skills, and linguistic skills; they call it the Language Jungle.As a teacher in preschool teacher training, it is important to learn more about what the preschools find necessary to work with, and the methodology incorporated.In order to learn more about this project, I have employed fieldwork methodology; spending time in the field, to learn more about how a climbing jungle can be an arena for speech training.
