    INTRODUCTION

    Teaching a second or foreign language is a complex process which needs to be developed carefully to get successful results. This process must start in the early stages and it must provide the students with a meaningful context to construct not only language proficiency but values, culture, and skills in other areas where they are joyful for learning. Nowadays, adults expect many things and very soon from the children, for instance learning a second language is a typical objective from parents and then by schools. This experience can be negative for the children if they are forced to memorize information that is no significant for them, especially because for the children the process of learning is a matter of getting experience and not of memorizing. Thats why, its important to realize the needs, the interests, the context and the development of our children to create a suitable plan to teach and learn English as a foreign language involving children in positive activities to encourage learning in the same way in the future stages. This module is heading to the students of the program in Pre school assistants where they will get some useful information about teaching English to children in pre school stages and will develop some practical exercises to perform in the classroom. In this way there will be three moments in this practice corresponding to the methodology of the class: FDH: Here the instructor will present the topic and will give the necessary explanations, tools and materials. FDEH: Here the teacher will give instructions and will support the activity to let the student recognize and apply new strategies. EDH: Here the students will be the main characters of the practice since they have to develop and carried out plans by themselves. At the end of each unit the student will be evaluated and assessed in accordance with the achievements. At the final stage of this course the students must present a final project, where they must put into practice all what was worked in this module.

    FDH. Reading.

    YOUNG CHILDRENS LANGUAGE AND COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT Its very important to recognize childrens development in all the processes that are related to their age because those aspects will give teachers ideas of what kind of activities they need and enjoy. Childrens average age in Pre School is from 3 to 6 years old; according to the Colombians regulations the Pre School is divided as follows: Pre-Jardn: 3 aos Jardn: 4 aos Transicin: 5 aos

    SPECIFIC ACHIVEMENTS EVIDENCE To identify the characteristics of childrens language and cognitive development according to the age to plan proper activities and topics to teach English to young children. To realize Colombias parameters to teach in pre school stages and applied them to the English teaching and its curriculum. To research and use different methods for teaching English in pre schools stages and observe their advantages and disadvantages.

    In this stages we can refer to The Preoperational Period (Piaget, 1969) where children can represent things mentally, Piaget divided this period in two phases: Preoperational Phase (2-4 years). Increased use of verbal representation but speech is egocentric. The beginnings of symbolic rather than simple motor play are evident. Children can think about something without the object is present by use of language. Intuitive Phase (4-7 years) Speech becomes more social, less egocentric. The child has an intuitive grasp of logical concepts in some areas. Easy to believe in magical and reality is not really firm yet. Perceptions dominate judgment. Rules of a game are not develop, only uses simple dos or donts imposed by authority. FDEH. Read the article and answer. a.

    FDH. SOME METHODS FOR TEACHING ENGLISH TO YOUNG CHILDREN

    Different methods have come out to help teachers and students to get involved in the language through the history of teaching English, those methods have had positive and negative impacts in the process

  • Instituto Colombiano de Aprendizaje INCAP

    of learning and teaching.

    However, when teaching children there are some methods that have been suggested and have worked well in pre school classrooms, due to they are easy to apply and let children to learn naturally and work different skills.

    THE NATURAL APROACH: Learners should be as relaxed as possible; teachers will bring a lot of input on real situations but in a natural way. Students will produce as they feel ready to do so.

    TOTAL PHYSICAL RESPONSE (TPR): A series of actions associated with language will be easily retained by the learners.

    CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENTALISM: Integrated language with other curricular considerations. CONTENT-BASICS: Focus on meaning--on acquiring some specific topical content--and that content topics should be chosen to learner needs and interests and to promote optimal development of second language competence. MULTINTELLIGENCIA: Learning Styles models (Gardner).

    UNIT 2. CLASS MANAGEMENT AND ATMOSPHERE

    FDH. TEACHING AND LEARNING ENVIROMENT The major difficulty which most teachers face, consciously or not, is how to transform the classroom from a space which is inherently inimical to learning into one where learning can take place. Therefore the teacher can hang posters, calendars, and pupils drawings on the walls and have all kind of interesting objects that can personalize the classroom. Also there has to be a special relationship between teacher and pupil. The activities cannot work unless there is a relaxed atmosphere. Rearranging the layout of the room will help, but it will also be needed to alter the pupils idea, and possibly the teachers, of what he or she is there for. For that reason it is important to keep in mind the elements which have effect on learning and teaching processes. Ideal teacher: An ideal teacher is one we respect from our heart. He/she

    acts, as a guide to the students, but at the same times does not pushes them too much. A perfect teacher motivates the students and boosts their morale.

    SPECIFIC ACHIVEMENTS EVIDENCE To make use of different strategies and activities to improve the learning and teaching processes. To apply tips to get a suitable atmosphere for learning English in a natural way

    Desempeo Producto

    Teaching and Learning atmosphere / Class management

  • Mdulo Gua Ingls para Preescolar

    He/she tries to encourage the students and refrains from criticizing them. Such a teacher prefers to give positive motivation to students. His/her comments are always constructive. The perfect teacher is our friend, guide, educator, confident, all rolled into one. One such teacher builds the whole life of the students. Everyone in this world should get an ideal teacher.

    The physical surroundings : Classrooms must provide the students with a quiet, pleasant, comfortable,and familiar atmosphere. It must be clean, organized and decorated with colorful posters and draws, meaningful charts that make them feel part of the group, also to have as much as possible teaching resources. It must be light and spacious to develop different kind of activities, if its possible to have an english corner, marked boxes to encourage them to practice the language every day. Organize desks according to your classroom, its neccesary to arrange them that They can move easily and to promote pair and group work among them.

    CLASS MANAGEMENT

    TIPS FOR TEACHING ENGLISH TO YOUNG CHILDREN

    Use very simple language. Use as few words as possible in a sentence.

    Stablish rules and review them with the children every class

  • Instituto Colombiano de Aprendizaje INCAP

    Start your lesson with a standard Hello song or other type of greeting.

    Select about 10 flash cards with a similar theme (e.g. clothes, fruits, animals). Show a flash card and say the word. Have the students repeat it. Go through your cards two or three times.

    Change your games and activities every 5-10 minutes.

    Repeat, review and revise. Use short games to review vocabulary and phrases.

    Make your lessons playful and full of physical movement. .

    Avoid competition with preschoolers. Play games where everyone wins.

    Encourage and support your young learners. (awesome, very good, great job, happy face, good girl/boy)

    Use puppets, chants, rhymes, stories and songs.

    Towards the end of the lesson, play some English kids' songs and dance to them.

    FDEH. Read and Repeat.

    NUMBERS AND COMMANDS

    Stand up, sit down and show me one

    Look up, look down and show me two

    Reach up, reach down and show me three

    Jump up, jump down and show me four

    Point up, point down and show me five.

  • Mdulo Gua Ingls para Preescolar

    Look for readings, rhymes or songs that can be useful to be worked with children on the next topics.

    a. Alphabet b. Numbers c. Colors

    d. Days of the week e. Parts of the body f. days of the week

    g. Greetings h. Five senses i. Animals

    EDH. Choose one song; rhyme or reading from the previous topics and applying the tips for teaching prepare it to present it to the class.

    UNIT 3. TEACHING SKILLS

    FDH.

    TEACHING LANGUAGE SKILLS

    When teaching a language we cant teach language skills in an isolated way, because those skills are integrated and work together when we communicate, it means that all these process are connected and we can see that in the process of a language acquisition, first we listen, then we speak, after that we read and write.

    To reinforce language skills in the classroom it is important to realize our students age and we need to be sensitive to the kids' interests

    SPECIFIC ACHIVEMENTS EVIDENCE

    To identify and use activities where encourage productively the language skills in English. To bring new strategies and technology as possible to classroom to support learning and teaching processes. To follow proper procedures to work with videos, songs and software in English

    Conocimiento Desempeo Desempeo

    Language skills / TICs in the classroom

  • Mdulo Gua Ingls para Preescolar

    and prior knowledge. To perform an activity its necessary to keep in mind which skills it is promoting and always prepare extra activities to do before, during and after it.

    In this way there are three steps when you carry out any activity:

    BEFORE: Present the activity and tell children what you expect they do. Ask questions, present some vocabulary, colorful pictures, and make them to pronounce them, play a game in order students get involved in the activity. DURING: Use different activities (mimic, point, show, etc) in order children can comprehend what they are watching, listening or reading. Use a lot of visual and movement support and repeat and make them repeat important vocabulary or expressions. Catch their attention! AFTER: Ask the children questions about what they did, if they have fun, what they learned and present a relaxed activity to perform and reinforce. To promote or reinforce some skills keep in mind those activities: Listening and speaking (Story telling, songs, rhymes, chants, videos with visual aids, small dialogues, commands) Reading and Writing (Choral reading, word maps, alphabet matching, drawing activities, spelling and phonics exercises)

    TEACHING ENGLISH USING ICTs Nowadays information technologies have influenced the way we learn and teach, they are a great support for teachers but this application in classroom requires preparation and analysis to choose the proper programs, tools and software to work with.

    In the field of teaching and learning languages, there are a lot of resources students and teachers can get from the internet, television programs, educative videos and software. However, those programs dont often

  • Instituto Colombiano de Aprendizaje INCAP

    accomplish our needs. As teachers and parents we must be careful about the contents those programs can have. The ICTs are necessary in Pre School classrooms due to children are more active and the have access to it since early stages, thats why, they are tools in the process of learning and teaching. FDEH. Look for a program, video, or software focused in teaching English to children and analyze it answering the next questions.

    UNIT 4. PLANNING A LESSON

    FDH. STRUCTURE OF A LESSON

    A language lesson should include a variety of activities that combine different types of language input and output. Learners at all proficiency levels benefit from such variety; research has shown that it is more motivating and is more likely to result in effective language learning.

    An effective lesson has five parts:

    SPECIFIC ACHIVEMENTS EVIDENCE

    To plan a class following proper procedures and suitable activities to fulfill the objectives and achievements of it. To analyze the strategies and activities proposed in the lesson plan and assess according to the results and observations at the end of the class.

    Producto Desempeo

    Steps in a class / Lesson plan

  • Mdulo Gua Ingls para Preescolar

    Preparation Presentation Practice Evaluation Expansion

    The five parts of a lesson may all take place in one class session or may extend over multiple sessions, depending on the nature of the topic and the activities. The lesson plan should outline who will do what in each part of the lesson. The time allotted for preparation, presentation, and evaluation activities should be no more than 8-10 minutes each. Communication practice activities may run a little longer. 1. Preparation As the class begins, give students a broad outline of the days goals and activities so they know what to expect. Help them focus by eliciting their existing knowledge of the days topics.

    Use discussion or homework review to elicit knowledge related to the grammar and language use points to be covered

    Use comparison with the native language to elicit strategies that students may already be using

    Use discussion of what students do and/or like to do to elicit their knowledge of the topic they will address in communication activities

    2. Presentation/Modeling Move from preparation into presentation of the linguistic and topical content of the lesson and relevant learning strategies. Present the strategy first if it will help students absorb the lesson content. Presentation provides the language input that gives students the foundation for their knowledge of the language. Input comes from the instructor and from course textbooks. Language textbooks designed for students in U.S. universities usually provide input only in the form of examples; explanations and instructions are written in English. To increase the amount of input that students receive in the target language, instructors should use it as much as possible for all classroom communication purposes. An important part of the presentation is structured output, in which students practice the form that the instructor has presented. In structured output, accuracy of

  • Instituto Colombiano de Aprendizaje INCAP

    performance is important. Structured output is designed to make learners comfortable producing specific language items recently introduced. 3. Practice In this part of the lesson, the focus shifts from the instructor as presenter to the students as completers of a designated task. Students work in pairs or small groups on a topic-based task with a specific outcome. Completion of the task may require the bridging of an information gap. The instructor observes the groups acts as a resource when students have questions that they cannot resolve themselves. In their work together, students move from structured output to communicative output, in which the main purpose is to complete the communication task. Language becomes a tool, rather than an end in itself. Learners have to use any or all of the language that they know along with varied communication strategies. The criterion of success is whether the learner gets the message across. Accuracy is not a consideration unless the lack of it interferes with the message. Activities for the practice segment of the lesson may come from a textbook or be designed by the instructor. 4. Evaluation/Assessment When all students have completed the communication practice task, reconvene the class as a group to recap the lesson. Ask students to give examples of how they used the linguistic content and learning or communication strategies to carry out the communication task. Evaluation is useful for four reasons:

    It reinforces the material that was presented earlier in the lesson It provides an opportunity for students to raise questions of usage and style It enables the instructor to monitor individual student comprehension and

    learning It provides closure to the lesson

    The assessment includes the reflection on the processes not only for the students, also for the teachers practices, the objectives for class and lets correct the mistakes for future classes.

  • Mdulo Gua Ingls para Preescolar

    5. Expansion. Expansion activities allow students to apply the knowledge they have gained in the classroom to situations outside it. Expansion activities include out-of-class observation assignments, in which the instructor asks students to find examples of something or to use a strategy and then report back.
