The Fourth Edition owes much to the inspiration of Colegio Ghandi, Mexico, D.F. where two languages are valued, New Mexico ESL teacher Janeen Howard for teaching ideas, and Dawn of Pegasus Software for technical support.

This edition is dedicated to the English teachers of Colegio Ghandi.

Tapes are in DBX stereo. Song words, stories, illustrations, and other items may be reproduced for class members, but may not be copied for other teachers. If you need more copies please call.

Special Instructions to the teacher: This series is intended to supplement other materials used to teach English as a foreign or second language. The series progresses in complexity from Level One to Level Six. This method encourages communicative competence by presenting a song to develop context and practice fluency. Following exercises refer to the songs so that language concepts are develop in a meaningful context. Students are constantly reminded to search for similar constructs in their other books and in real life. Maps, recipes, geographical, and economical information is given simply as context, or something to communicate about. The purpose of this book is to encourage communication. Teachers should extend the learning by reading to the students, and encouraging conversation. References to "better using my textbook" refer to the regular English textbook, not this supplement. References to "your readings" refer to trade books and story books used in a literature based program for learning English. This is very important to the method of Cantos Para Todos, because the short texts of the songs are only examples of language in use, and exercises in this series make reference only to these brief examples. Refer to the Teachers Manual for additional information and teaching ideas.

Prologue Every second language learning situation is different, demanding a different kind of teaching. The premise of Cantos Para Todos Volume III is that music and stories can enhance any method for any age of learner.

The learning of a second language can be enhanced by writing stories and the lyrics for songs. The basic method is thus: the students have a common experience, then share thoughts together with the teacher writing what they say. Students participate actively, either by writing or dictating the stories. Stories written by students are linguistically, emotionally, experientially and developmentally appropriate for the student because they contain their own words based on their personal experiences. Such stories are used to encourage active learning about and synthesis of the environment, and to provide a literary base for reading practice and instruction. When the stories are based on experiences in the English speaking culture, the students are able to communicate their impressions of the new culture to their teachers and classmates as the stories are translated.

As they share even the simplest ideas in English, they become able to communicate directly with others through stories even before they are "fluent" in oral English. Also, the sequence of stories becomes a documentation of individual progress in language.

Prólogo Cada clase en que se enseña un idioma nuevo es diferente, y require que un método de enseñanza especial. La filosofía de Cantos Para Todos Volume III se basa en la creencia que participación en música y cuentos beneficiará a todos los estudiantes, sean niños o grandes.

Each of the (original) songs in this series was developed in a classroom where students were learning English as a second language (ESL), usually as part of a story or actual experience. You are encouraged to use these as examples for your own creative curriculum development. Songs can enhance the learning of the concepts and vocabulary of the story.

Se puede facilitar el aprendizaje de un segundo idioma por escribir cuentos y canciones.

Se hace así: comparten una experiencia en común, el maestro escribe sus comentarios. Estudiantes participan activamente, al escribir o dictar los cuentos. Cuentos que utilizan las propias palabras de los estudiantes son apropiados para los estudiantes por su contenido lingüístico, emocional, experimental, y por el nivel de desarrollo, porque contienen las palabras e ideas de los estudiantes. Estos cuentos y canciones se usan para tener un aprendizaje activo y base comprensiva del mundo conocido, y para proveer una base literaria para enseñar y practicar la lectura. Cuando los cuentos se basan en experiencias con la cultura de habla inglesa, los estudiantes pueden comunicar sus impresiones de la nueva cultura con sus maestros y compañeros al explicar los cuentos en español. Al compartir experiencias, aunque sea en el inglés más simple, son más capaces de comunicarse directamente con otros por medio de cuentos aún antes de ser fluentes en el inglés oral. También, los cuentos y canciones vienen siendo un registro del progreso individual en el idioma.

Cada una de las canciones originales en este tomo fue desarrollada en una clase donde los estudiantes aprendían el inglés como segundo idioma (ESL), usualmente como parte de un cuento, o una actividad normal del currículo. Se espera que usted utilice estos como ejemplos para sus propias creaciones. Los cuentos y las canciones escritos por los estudiantes deben salir naturalmente de las experiencias reales, y deben apoyar a los conceptos del currículo.

In addition to the original songs developed in ESL classrooms, many songs have been included for their lasting value to represent U.S. culture. You are encouraged to seek more songs and stories, and use this series as a model for ideas in adapting culturally authentic materials for language learning. The learning of a second language can be enhanced by using musical methods. Oral and aural participation of every student is encouraged by singing. As students gain confidence in their

Adicional de las canciones desarrolladas en clases de inglés, se han incluído aquí muchas canciones por su valor de representar las culturas de habla inglés en los estados unidos. Se espera que el maestro busque más canciones y cuentos, y que este tomo sea un modelo para ideas de como se adaptan materias para la enseñanza de idioma que fielmente representan la cultura. Se puede fomentar el aprendizaje de un segundo idioma por métodos músicales. La participación por medio la expresión oral de todos los

language ability and can actively participate in the creation of songs, the lessons become very personal, developmentally appropriate, and motivational. Language learned while the students are functioning in the affective domain will be retained. This collection is expected to grow constantly as the students learn new concepts. The participation of the students in the creation of the songs will grow as they gain skills of self expression.

The enclosed materials are organized into sections for classroom use: routines, vocabulary and syntax, time, literacy, emotions, vocations. Each section comes with recommendations for language development.

Our experience indicates that second language learners need time to listen before producing language. Listening, acting out, then singing songs is fun and productive.

Ideas for Effective English Teaching A course was given at Colegio Ghandi, Mexico, D.F. that had to do with professional training for English teachers about principles and theories of second language acquisition, along with a demonstration of teaching methods in the English classes.

The focus was on a literature and song based approach, and other approaches were mentioned.

Thirteen of those in attendance turned in critiques of the course, including these suggestions, which are shared in this book to give the reader ideas for English teaching and teacher training.

estudiantes se fortalece al cantar; y al escuchar el inglés se desarrolla la confianza en su habilidad de usar el idioma, participando activamente en la creación de una canción. Las lecciones deberían ser apropiados para el nivel de desarrollo de cada estudiante y tendrían mucha motivación. El lenguaje que se aprende cuando el estudiante goza con una clase se va a mantener, no se olvida facilmente. Se añadirán nuevas canciones continuamente al aprender nuevos conceptos. La participación de los estudiantes en la creación de las canciones aumentará el grado de la habilidad para expresarse.

Las materias aquí representadas se organicen para uso en la clase: rutinas, vocabulario y syntaxis, tiempo, alfabetismo, emociones, vocaciones. Cada sección incluye recomendaciones para desarrollar idioma.

Nuestra experiencia es que los que están aprendiendo otro idioma necesitan un largo tiempo de escuchar el idioma ante de producirlo.

Escuchar, actuar y cantar canciones es divertido y productivo.

Ideas Para la Enseñanza Efectiva del Inglés Se dió una conferencia en el Colegio Ghandi, México, D.F. que de orientación profesional para maestros de inglés. Versó sobre los principios y teorías de la adquisición de un segundo idioma.

Así mismo se dió una demonstración práctica de métodos de enseñanza en las clases. Se enfocaba en métodos con literatura y canción, y se mencionaban otros. Trece de los asistentes entregaron una crítica del curso, inclusive estas sugerencias incluídas para dar al lector ideas para la enseñanza del inglés y para el entrenemiento de maestros.

ATTITUDE (Feeling) PAGE 10

Cantos Para Todos Volume III Teacher Manual ESL

ATITUD (Sentimientos) The attitude of the students toward the instruction is a greater factor in their learning than your teaching style. Second language learners filter the instruction through their feelings about the language and their self concept with regard to learning the language. You can help lower this affective filter by making the learning experiences enjoyable. In other words, people don't learn when under the gun, they remember what they learn when having fun.

Be open minded about differences in cultural orientation and learning styles of the students.

Study the literature and the best books about cross cultural interactions. Know your students, their family situations, their neighborhoods first hand.

Go there. Don't depend on what the other teachers tell you.

Be prepared for varying attitudes from other teachers, administrators, and parents. Some may be negative about the ESL program or its students.

Be aware of the political dynamic in your school and community with regard to the ESL program.

Talk to the former ESL teacher to get a feel for how people have reacted. Don't set your expectations for support too high. Try to get parents involved.

Take extra measures to be sure the students sense that you like them. They may be expecting you to be negative towards them like others are.

They may try to make you react the way they expect you to react (by misbehaving).

La atitud de los estudiantes hacia la instrucción es un factor de aprendizaje más significativo que el método de instrucción. Instrucción para estudiantes de u segundo idioma puede ser bloqueado por los sentimientos acerca del idioma y su autoestima con respeto a sus habilidad de aprender. El maestro puede bajar este "filtro de afecto" por tener actividades de instrucción que son agradables. No aprended bajo presión, sino cuando el ambiente es divertido.

Hay que estar abierto a las diferencias en orientación cultural y maneras de aprender de los estudiantes. Estudie acerca de interacciones culturales. Conozca sus estudiantes, familias, barrios. Visítelos. No se confíe en el testimonio de los otros mastros.

Hay que estar preparado para reacciones emocionantes de otros maestros, administradores y padres. Algunos no aprecian al programa de inglés. Hay que conocer el dinámico político de la escuela y comunidad con respeto al programa. Hable con maestros anteriores para ver como le trataban los otros. Solicite la participación de los padres.

Asegure que los estudiantes saben que usted los quiere. Algunos supondrán que usted los maltratará igual que los demás.

Puede ser que se portarán mal para que usted se porte como los demás.

THEMES Cantos Para Todos Volume III Teacher Manual ESL

PAGE 11

of Volume III The musical examples and literature suggestions in Volume III are all related to the three processes of language learning: cognition (thought), psychomotor (action) and affect (feeling). Teachers should keep in mind that language input (listening and reading) gives students information and models of language and that language output (speaking and writing ) helps students acquire essential communication skills, and that using the new language for thought helps understand and solve problems from a new point of view.

TEMAS de Volumen III Los ejemplos de música y literatura en Volumen III están relacionados a los tres procesos de aprendizaje de idiomas: pensamiento, acción, y sentimiento. Los maestros deben tener en cuenta de que recepción de idioma (escuchar y leer) da a los estudiantes información y modelos de información, y que expresión de idioma (hablar y escribir) les da a los estudiantes habilidad de comunicación, y que utilizar el idioma nuevo para pensar ayuda a comprender y resolver problemas de un nuevo punto de vista.

Purposes of Volume III Propósitos de Volumen III Knowledge - Thought: learn about listening, speaking, reading, writing, thinking, learn to integrate knowledge across the curriculum, contextualize language instruction, and study the new language with concepts already known.

Experience - Action: listen, speak, read, write, think, relating language with action so that it is understandable, and plan assessments based on the reason for learning the language.

Application: Feeling: lesson plans for listening, speaking, reading, writing, and thinking will be motivational based on authentic, enjoyable communication.

PAGE 12

Conocimiento - Pensamiento: aprender acerca de hablar, leer, escribir, pensar, y la integración de conocimientos en todos aspectos del currículo, poner en contexto a la instrucción, y estudiar el nuevo idioma con conceptos conocidos.

Experiencia - Acción: escuchar, hablar, leer, escribir, pensar, relatar idioma con acción para que se entienda, planear pruebas basada en la razón para aprender el idioma.

Aplicación - Sentimientos: planes de instrucción en escuchar, hablar, leer, y escribir considerarán motivación basada en comunicación que es auténtico, y divertido.

The Input Hypothesis Humans acquire language only one way: by understanding messages

Comprehensible Input

I+1

The Input Hypothesis, by Stephen Krashen, suggests that individuals acquire a language if the input they receive is comprehensible. Children acquiring their first language need no special instruction for the pronunciation, semantics or syntax. If they understand, sooner or later they will speak like those around them.

Second language acquisition is the same way. No matter how much special instruction may be given, the rules of the language are acquired over time, given comprehensible input. In the model above, "I" means the level of "input" (listening or reading) that the learner is ready for. The blocks represent different steps, or levels of language input. If the actual input is too low, the learner may become bored. If the level is too high, the learner may become frustrated. Language acquisition takes place when the formula is "I+1", the instructional level.

Cantos Para Todos Volume III Teacher Manual ESL

El Tésis de Recepción de Krashen, surgiere que idioma se adquiere si se entiende. Niños no necesitan instrucción especial para la pronunciación, vocabulario o síntaxis. Si entienden, tarde or temprano hablarán como los en su alrededor. La adquisición de un segundo idioma es semejante. No importa cuanta instrucción especial se da, las reglas se adquieren sobre tiempo con recepción comprensible. En el modelo arriba, "I" representa el nivel de recepción (escuchar o leer) que el estudiante puede comprender. Los bloques de la escalera representan niveles de recepción de idioma. Si el nivel es muy bajo, el estudiante se aburre. Si el nivel es muy alto, se frustra.

El idioma se adquiere cuando la recepción es "I+1", el nivel apropiado de instrucción.

PAGE 15

Independent level I, I-1, or lower. If a student works at or below ability, there may be comfort, or the student may be bored or even offended. If comfortable, the student may do much work very well, but is not learning.

Nivel de Independencia, I, I -1, o más bajo. Si la instrucción está a su nivel de habilidad o menos, sentirá o cómodo o aburrido, o ofendido. Si está cómodo, tal vez hará bien el trabajo, pero no aprende.

Instructional level I+1. The students are receiving input (listening or reading or instruction) at the next logical level above what they know.

They are building upon that they know. They are learning, and acquiring language at the same time.

Nivel de Instruccion, I+1. Instrucción consiste de recepción (escuchar o leer) a solo un nivel de instrucción más alto de lo que sabe el estudiante. Así se basa la instrucción en lo que sabe. Aprende y adquiere idioma a la vez.

Frustrational level I+2 or above. If the student does not understand the language of instruction, there is no learning, only frustration.

Implications for teaching. Pretest before teaching to determine the Independent, Instructional and Frustrational levels. Adjust your teaching to address each student's Instructional level during the course of a lesson.

Input model of Second Language Acquisition, Learning, and Production The Acquisition/Learning Hypothesis: Second language learners have two distinctive ways of developing competencies in a second language ACQUISITION - involves using language for real communication: Pass me the pencil LEARNING - knowing about a language, study the rules to monitor your output: Pass - a verb meaning to pick up and hand to someone, as the first word, is an imperative me - a first person indirect object pronoun the - an article used before a noun pencil - a noun referring to a writing tool containing graphite

PAGE 16

Nivel de Frustración, I+2. Si no entiende, no aprende.

Implicaciónes para instrucción. Dar una prueba antes de enseñar para saber para cada estudiante su nivel de instrucción, independencia y frustración. Enseñe de acuerdo con el nivel de instrucción de cada estudiante durante alguna parte de la lección.

Modelo de Recepción en Adquisición, Aprendizaje, y Producción de Idioma Adquisición/Aprendizaje: Hay dos maneras de ser competentes en un segundo idioma ADQUISICIÓN - la persona utiliza idioma para comunicación verdadera: Pass me the pencil APRENDIZAJE - aprender acerca de un idioma, estudiar las reglas Pass - un verbo que quiere decir pasar a otra person, un imperativo me - primera persona pronombre indirecto the - un artículo que va con un nombre lápiz - un nombre que refiere a un herramiento para escribir que contiene grafite

MULTICULTURAL EDUCATION:

A LINGUISTIC PERSPECTIVE This paper contemplates perspectives of multicultural education based on articles in Readings in Applied English Linguistics by Allen and Linn (1982). The articles included in the book are intended to represent current thought in the science of linguistics that may apply to the teaching of English. The data and opinions reported support the concept that educational methods should be culturally and linguistically appropriate to the student population and that multicultural attitudes can be taught to all the students through the study of languages and dialects.

HISTORY Philologists trace the history of the English language to approximately the 6th and 7th centuries in England. Nurtured by isolation from the mainland, it originally developed from the interaction of the Germanic Angles, the Saxons and the Jutes on the British island of the Celts (Wilson, p.

3). The evolution of this early blend to the present forms of English used around the world is tied to the cultures of the people who have used the language. All speakers of the language during the past 1300 years of its existence have been influenced in dialect by the events and especially the culture and speech of the people around them.

Vocabulary, phonology (pronunciation), morphology (spelling), and syntax (word order) have been influenced by English speakers' interaction with a multitude of nations.

The complexity of these elements in the English language leads Wilson (p. 17) to suggest that students of the English language should learn to use a variety of dictionaries to provide insights into the history of the language and thus understand it better. Whorf (p. 58) suggests that since language is used to categorize concepts according to a cultural view, each language can give different PAGE 18

perspectives of the world. It is no wonder then that English continues to develop and grow as the English speakers increasingly interact with all the world. Whorf concludes (p. 67) that scientists and philosophers should be humbled by the knowledge that every culture provides such differing views of life and truth that their own limited perspective may be only a dim view of the whole truth. Students should be introduced to ideas of the world from differing cultural perspectives.

CURRENT PERSPECTIVES Chomsky (p. 84) emphasizes the dynamic property of language. Each speaker of a language is capable of creating new forms and changing the "rules" while being completely understood. He argues against the validity of "rules" which describe or even prescribe the grammar of a language. He advocates as the best system of language acquisition one which teaches the generative qualities of the language rather than one which describes the grammar. Actually, we know little about the rules that govern our use of sounds to form meaning. He suggests a process of discovery that should be an exciting adventure for language learners.

Akmajian, Demers, and Harnish (p. 119) state that children are born with the biologically inherited disposition to acquire spoken language.

They are prepared to acquire any set of phonemes and phonological rules. Smith and Wilson illustrate the fact that language acquisition occurs most efficiently in early years (p. 86). They also (p. 92) explain that speakers will develop competence that is not always reflected in performance. Lakoff stresses the value of the study of the principles of conversation in languages to learn about variances in cultures. All these points would seem to support the concepts of bilingual education that competence in the first language should be developed even if it is not the "lingua franca" of the greater society, that second languages should be introduced early to children to take advantage of their biological disposition for language acquisition, and that the study of languages can give Cantos Para Todos Volume III Teacher Manual ESL

valuable insights into other cultures.

Linn (pp. 131-139) gives added impetus to the argument for special concern for second language instruction and first language maintenance in his article describing the loss of first language and the incomplete mastery of the second language in entire societies through pidginization and creolization. Miller's (p. 144) description of the variances in non-verbal communication across cultures suggests the importance of native speakers as teachers in bilingual classrooms.

LANGUAGE ACQUISITION Moskowitz (p. 179) stresses the importance of thorough development of the first language as a prerequisite to success in learning the second. She also states that a second language is much easier to learn before puberty. Both facts are important arguments for the value of universal bilingual education in the elementary schools. Her explanation of the prerequisites and processes of language acquisition (p. 167) speaks for the importance of interaction in the acquisition process. The fact that language is not acquired either by listening to it or talking about it implies that language instruction in the schools should be rich in two-way meaningful conversation.

REGIONAL AND SOCIAL VARIATION The editors note (p. 189) that every language is spoken in a variety of dialects. Such variations were formerly thought of as aberrations until 19th century linguists explained that the so-called standard language of a country was simply a regional dialect that had become prestigious for non-linguistic reasons. Atwood (p. 200) mentions the value of the developing body of linguistic atlases to the appreciation of culture differences and settlement history. Fischer (202-209) reports that people choose to vary speech patterns in order to express differences in formality. The ability to adjust to a variety of situations may affect an individual's status in the eyes of others. The importance of an individual's range of speech Cantos Para Todos Volume III Teacher Manual ESL

patterns (lexical, grammatical and phonological) is brought out by Allen's (p. 210-220) discussion of linguistic variation within a region based on level of education. Such findings suggest that a complete multicultural curriculum should include the study of variations within a culture as well as studying varied cultures. The knowledge of language differences and how they affect one's place in the community may help students adjust to the realities of the marketplace (Fraser, p.226).

Burling (p. 256) cautions that it is important for students whose dialect is different than that of the school should receive culturally and linguistically appropriate teaching methods that support the validity and status of the local dialect as well as teach the dialect that will be useful in obtaining work and progressing economically.

LINGUISTICS AND TEACHING Teachers must be sensitive to the attitudes of the students' cultural group toward reading (DeStefano, pp. 397-400). Some groups place a higher emphasis on oral proficiency. One solution mentioned is to accept and encourage the oral styles and write them down. These transcriptions become important, high status resources for the reading instruction program. Caution should be taken to continue to encourage the oral tradition.

In many instances in the past oral traditions have been replaced by literacy rather than complemented by literacy.

Teachers must be sensitive and knowledgeable of the uses and misuses of language varieties in composition (Baron, p. 442). The focus of the teacher should be on the requirements of the prestige dialect in specific types of writing without attacking the student's personal use of language.

Garcia (p. 444) reports that some bilinguals mix phonic, lexical and grammatical elements of the two languages. He states that the teacher who would regard this natural phenomena as a serious defect of the student's English is "ignorant, biased or linguistically insecure". He suggests that the teacher should learn to recognize the source of the PAGE 19

"interference", identify the variations and utilize them in creative writing exercises. Acosta-Belen (p. 463) cautions educators that there is a fine balance in learning and appreciating local dialects.

Such a study may result either in unrealistic sterotyping and self- consciousness or in encouraging students to have a positive self-image and success in school. Teachers should definitely avoid criticizing children because of language variance. The teacher should be prepared to clearly understand language differences in order to establish more productive communication with the students. Oral proficiency in the home language or dialect should be encouraged by the schools over mediocre achievement in the prestige dialect and retardation of developement of the home dialect (Kochman, p. 464). Students will learn the new dialect only if they feel it is important.

SUMMARY The study of language teaching is still developing and much remains to be learned (Spolsky, p.

449). There remains a lively debate on the methods, the grammars and the philosophies. One theme seems recurrent in the literature: teachers should be sensitive to the culture and linguistic proficiency of the students. Teachers should learn ways to take advantage of students' abilities and encourage the development of skills in other languages and dialects in addition to the prestige dialect.

How to Use This Book There are many well established, graded materials for teaching English. This book does not intend to compete with or replace such curricula.

The songs and ideas in Cantos Para Todos Volume III were developed in ESL classrooms in New Mexico and Texas as supplements to methods in use. This greatly expanded 1995 version was conceived at the suggestion of English teachers in Mexico City who felt they needed ideas for supplementing their current text. Therefore, the approach taken, is to give a few samples of types of songs, stories or other resources, then to model ideas that can be used with these, the regular textbook, or with library books. The six levels were conceived with elementary school grades one through six in mind, but ideas in each book may be adapted for any age level of students, including secondary school and adults.

This Teacher Manual for Cantos Para Todos Volume III serves volumes 1-6: Level One: I Come in the Door 17 songs on Tape 1, side A for beginners in English as young as age 6

Level Two: Good Morning 12 songs on Tape 1, side B

Level Three: When You Meet Someone 11 songs on Tape 2, side A

Level Four: The Rules 13 songs on Tape 2, side B

Level Five: What Time is It? 13 songs on Tape 3, side A

Level Six: Rolling 13 songs on Tape 3, side B

Prologue, page 4. The teacher should read this to understand the purpose and philosophy of these materials.

I come in the Door Roy Howard Š1990 Cantos Para Todos (Level One)

When students get to my class, they come in the door, walk across the room to their chairs, sit down, pick up their pencils, write their names on the paper, write the date, and listen to the teacher. As they come in, we all sing "I Come in the Door". We do this every day. As we associate the words to the actions, the students gradually acquire the sounds and meanings. Eventually, they can sing the words, and even use the words in creative sentences of their own.

BUILDING AN AIRPORT AND OTHER FUN ESL LEARNING ACTIVITIES: Grammar Petrimouix, J., ERIC ED 283 406, June, 1986. reviewed by Dalton Freeman.

As ESL teachers strive to create and utilize natural, interesting and understood L2 learning activities, many such activities now exist in the available literature.

Petrimouix defines 13 classroom activities used to highlight grammar structures, problem solving (group and individual), focus upon LSRW skills, variable levels of difficulty, and Q-A: creative/generative processing.

The activities include: airport planning/construction, desert survival, courtroom drama, cartoon captioning, missing picture reasoning, travelling composition tales, paragraph building, mystery solving, last letter recognition searches/applications, alibi responses, Jeopardy game, and 20 questions.

Just used as starter activities, these can be modified and lead to original offshoots by teacher and student.

Listen-

Simon Says The teacher calls out a command such as, "stand up", "sit down", "turn around", etc. Students only act out the command if the teacher precedes the command with: "Simon says". For example: "Simon says, smile" (students smile) "Frown" (those who frown are out of the game and must sit and watch until the last student is left) Before playing this game, the teacher should train the students to react to commands. This listening and acting out commands is also called, "Total Physical Response" (TPR).

TPR consists of first, a command demonstrated by the teacher, then modeled by the class, then by selected students, then by the class without teacher modeling, then eventually, by anyone, on command.

"Simon Says", makes it a game.

The Moon Jumpers. NY: The Trumpet Club 1959.

As the teacher reads, the students act out every line they understand, for example; The sun is tired, it goes down the sky into the drowsy hills.

The sunflowers lean. They fall asleep to dream of tomorrow's sun.

The warm night-wind tosses our hair.

We all dance, barefooted over and over the grass!

We play tag in and out. we jump and jump, over and over, and higher and higher; but nobody has touched the moon.

•Behavior, classroom discipline: keeping hands and voices busy by acting out and singing together might help students stay on task.

This is an activity in which students act out what they are singing: line one: Hold up the number of fingers called for (he played four, means four fingers) line two: tap on the object mentioned line three: knick touch left knee, knack, touch right knee, patty whack clap hands twice line four: revolve hands around each other

Note that some of these words have silent letters.

•syntax: Be sure students understand the alternative syntax in the first sentence: This old man, he played one This old man played one Note that when the he is added to the first alternative, a comma is required.

•semantics: knick knack, patty whack: these are nonsense syllables (vocables) which have no meaning, they only are in the song, because they sound fun.

•spelling: Many words in English have silent letters. Practice examples that you find in your literature and other textbooks. Spelling words should come from the literature being studied.

How to teach considering the problems they bring from home: If students do not participate in the activities and singing due to a high affective filter (they do not want to be seen by the other kids having fun in school), do not force them. Let them watch until they are ready to have fun.

Good Morning Roy Howard Š1990 Cantos Para Todos (Level One)

My students sing "Good Morning" every day when they come to class. The repetition in that particular context reinforces the pronunciation and aids their fluency. When they are ready, we say "good morning" to each other, and they can be encouraged to say it to others they greet as appropriate. The key to successfully learning what to say when you greet someone, is to have opportunities where they use these for real communication with real people.

Good Morning, good morning, how are you today?

Good Morning, good morning, I'm fine, thank you, and you?

Yes, I am just fine too.

Directions: Poke a small hole in the bottom of each cup. Cut the string into tow ezual lengths. To make a pair of telephones, thread one end of the string through each of two cups. Pull the strings up about eight inches and tie a large knot in the end of the string. pull the strings back so the knot is up against the bottom of the cup.

The students walk apart until the string is taut, but not touching anything, with care not to pull the string through the hole in the cup. one cup serves and the earpiece and the other as the mouthpiece. The voices will carry through the string as long as the string is taut.

Sample conversation: Hello, this is Tom. Hello, this is Jan. Good morning, good morning, how are you today?

A folk tale adapted for Level One

Chicken Little.

One day Chicken Little was walking in the woods when - KERPLUNK! - an acorn fell on her head.

"Oh my goodness!" said Chicken Little. "The sky is falling! I must go and tell the king."

On her way to the king's palace, Chicken Little met Henny Penny.

"Good morning, Chicken Little, how are you today? I'm going into the woods to dig for worms."

"You can't go into the woods", said Chicken Little. "I was there and the sky fell on my head. Come with me to tell the king."

So Henny Penny joined Chicken Little and they went along as fast as they could. Soon they met Cocky Locky.

"Good Morning, good morning, how are you today", said Cocky Locky. "I'm going into the woods to hunt for seeds." They were so upset, they did not even say, I'm fine thank you, and you?

"The sky is falling there", said Henny Penny.

"Come with us to tell the king."

So Cocky Locky joined Henny Penny and Chicken Little, and they went along as fast as they could. Soon they met Goosey Poosey.

"Good Morning, good morning, good morning, how are you today", said Goosey Loosey. "I'm going into the woods to look for berries." They were so upset, they did not even say, I'm fine thank you, and you?

"Oh no, you don't", said Cocky Locky, "the sky is falling there. Come with us to tell the king." So Goosey Poosey joined Cocky Locky, Henny Penny and Chicken Little, and they went along as fast as they could. Then who should appear on the path but sly old Foxy Woxy.

"Good Morning my fine feathered friends. How are you today?" asked Foxy Woxy politely.

"We are not well today! We are frightened.

The sky is falling, and we must tell the king."

"I know a shortcut to the palace", said Foxy Woxy sweetly. "Come, follow me."

But wicked Foxy Woxy did not lead Chicken Little and the others to the palace. He led them right up to the entrance to his fox hole. Once they were inside, Foxy Woxy was planning to gobble them up!

Just as Chicken Little and the others were about to go into the fox's hole, they heard a strange sound and stopped. It was the king's hunting dogs, growling and howling. How Foxy Woxy ran, across the meadows and through the forests, with the hounds close behind. He ran until he was far, far away, and never dared to come back again.

After that day, Chicken Little always carried an umbrella with her when she walked in the woods. The umbrella was a present from the king, and if KERPLUNK - an acorn fell, Chicken Little did not mind a bit. In fact, she didn't notice it at all.

Van Allsburg, Chris. Just a Dream. Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1990.

Your students may have dreamed about travelling; if not, it may be time that they do.

Walter went to bed wishing he lived in the future. He couldn't wait to have his own tiny plane, a robot to take out the trash, and a machine that could make jelly doughnuts by the thousands. When he fell asleep, his wish came true. That night Walter's bed travelled to...the future...

In Walter's dream he travels to many places.

Your students may participate in the following activity after hearing the story, or even if they do not hear the story. An alternative type of story to prepare students for this activity may be any that talks about travel to interesting places.

Ask the students about places they may have wanted to travel to, but haven't. Why do they want to travel to that place? How would they get there? What would they bring back? You may say: I wish I could go to...

Betty Botter bought some butter But, she said, this butter's bitter If I put it in my batter It will make my batter bitter.

So she bought a bit of butter Better than the bitter butter And it made her batter better.

Thus, 'twas better Betty Botter Bought a bit of better butter.

Bill had a billboard Bill had a board bill Bill's board bill bored Bill; so, bill sold his billboard to pay his board bill Now Billy's board bill no longer bores Bill.

There is a boarding house far, far away.

Where they serve ham and eggs three times a day.

Oh, how the boarders yell when they hear the dinner bell.

Oh, how the eggs do smell three miles away.

PAGE 34

Deep in the high mountains and tall trees, somewhere long ago and far away, there was a house of many rooms. The owner began to rent rooms to individuals, who also paid extra for board, which means food. A cook named Betty was hired, and the boarders, who paid for room and board, got what they paid for.

Betty, the cook, did not have much imagination. She only knew how to prepare one meal: ham and eggs. For breakfast she served ham and eggs, for lunch she served ham and eggs, for dinner she served ham and eggs. The boarders knew that the dinner bell was about to sound, because the odor of the eggs was so strong, people could smell them three miles away!

Bill, one of the boarders, was depressed. He was in the advertising business, and they lived so far away and long ago, that no one had anything to advertise. With no advertising sold, it was very hard for him to pay his bill for room and board. Then it ocurred to him that if he sold his bill board, he would have the money to pay his room and board bill.

Will the boarders survive meal time? Will Betty ever bake better biscuits? Will Bill ever pay his board bill? Listen to this song. Try to repeat.

This is an old French tale that you may be able to find in many sources or retell you own way. Here is the plot: Three hungry soldiers pass through a village.

The people are concerned that the soldiers would take food that they needed; so as they approached, the people hid the food. The soldiers went from door to door asking for food, but no one had any for them.

Finally, they asked for a pot and water and three stones, to make "stone soup". As the curious people gather around to see the miracle, they get ideas of wonderful ingredients that could be added. The final result is full of spices, vegetables and meat brought by the people from hiding. All are amazed at how such a wonderful feast could be made from stones. For such wize and splendid men, a great party was made with food for the whole village. After sleeping as honored guests in the best homes in the village, they depart as heroes.

Heather’s Magic Feather Sometimes I take the group outside and demonstrate how to use this song to predict the weather: "The ancient people of this land had to know the weather in order to plan their daily activities and sacred events. I will teach you a ceremony, then I will explain how it works."

First, we place a stick with a featthe attached into the ground, and form a circle around it.

Then, I teach the chorus: red leather, yellow leather. This is supposed to be a very difficult tongue twister, because of the minimal phonemic difference between r and l; d and th.

While they sing, they walk in a circle around the stick.

Next, I teach the first part of the song, and they sing while circling the stick. The chorus is sung faster and faster until all drop out. The last verse is done the same way. Change direction in the circle after every sentence.

Here is how the feather predicts the weather: I look at the feather. if it is moving, it is windy if it is wet, it is raining if it covered with white, it is snowing if the stick is moving, there is an earthquake if I can't see it, it is dark if it has a short shadow, it is mid day if a long shadow is pointing west - morning if a long shadow is pointing east - afternoon

Writing Level Two

Big Action words are not the only words that you should choose carefully. Descriptive words are just as important.

Big is a general word. Tall is more specific; so is fat. Each of these words tells in what way something is big. A word like monstrous tells us even more. Something monstrous is frightening as well as big.

Think of different words you might use to describe a house. Spacious might fit, or substantial, or huge. What about imposing? That could be used, too. But a word like fat would not work.

However, if you were describing a person, fat might be a better word than huge . The correct word will depend on the particular thing you are writing about.

Step 2.

Read a story that uses the key words: I stepped through the wall into a land of giants. Of course, I did not realize at first that the "forest of trees" I walked through was really an expansive lawn with gigantic blades of grass. It first struck me when I climbed a tall sturdy stalk of grass and sensed a huge shadow, like a cloud pass over me. I looked up in time to see a huge butterfly. Its substantial wings spead over six feet in each direction. The body was at least as large as myself. My heart went from shock and surprise to panic, when I heard a sharp snap, saw a long sticky tongue flick out and the butterfly disappear into the gaping jaws of a monstrous toad. My heart nearly stopped when I noticed that his huge, peering eyes had caught sight of me! As he repositioned his hulking frame for the attack, I leaped hastily to the ground.

The raging storm kept on through the dark night. We worried about the possibility of some flooding, but never dared imagine the worst. High in the steep canyon, behind the massive dam, the waters accumulated far beyond flood stage. Bulky flood gates had been open all week, but the tons of earth and rock were no longer enough for the vast waters they held. With a tremendous crashing, crunching sound that could be heard for many miles, the waters broke through. The surging, churning wave of water, mud, and rock crashed through the canyon, poring and gouging and ripping everything in its path.

This section refers all types of literacy, including shapes and numbers, as well as reading and wriitng. The songs may be used to promote prereading skills of identifying shapes and numbers, or to simply teach vocabulary to literate individuals. As the students sing "Making Shapes is Easy", they may touch objects in these shapes, point to drawings, or form the shapes with their hands. This song may also be adapted for other shapes. Six are mentioned on the tape: circle, square, triangle, rectangle, oval and diamond.

Literature

Ideas

Grifalconi, Ann. The Village of Round and Square Houses. Boston: Little, Brown & Co. 1986.

A grandmother explains to her listeners why in their village on the side of a volcano the men live in square houses and the women in round ones.

Students may interact with the ideas of shapes by making paper or clay or block houses that are round, square, or other shapes. They may search for shapes in the illustrations of this, or other books.

They may point out shapes in the environment of the classroom. Take the students outside to talk about shapes in the neighborhood. Language that is used in the immediate context of things seen with other senses, is remembered Listening and discussing. As students hear the story, they should be asked to remember recognizable words and discuss how the words are used in this story, or may be used in other contexts.

PAGE 40

Magician - On the board list word such as these: big, bus, back, thank, came, him, game, let, make, than, sun. Give a child a magic stick (chalk) and ask him to be the magician, changing big to pig; bus to but; back to tack; thank to think; him to hit; game to name; let to led; make to brake; than to then; sun to run. You may want to emphasize initial, medial, or final sounds or any combination.

Literacy

Ideas

What a person understands from print depends on a combination of factors. In the model shown, the input is the text as decoded by the student (whether numbers, shapes, or words). Based on the reader's previous knowledge of the subject, personal experiences with related concepts, and feelings about the subject (or emotional reactions thereto), a degree of understanding is acquired. If reading in a second language, the language is also being acquired if the input is comprehensible.

Implications for teachers: your students will acquire English as they read if they understand. Understanding depends upon the knowledge, experience and affect with which they interact with the print.

Preteaching ideas: prepare students for the reading experience by insuring that they know as much as possible about the setting, the characters, situations and concepts of the text. Input that is relevant, familiar and interesting will result in language acquisition.

Muscle and blood and skin and bones, A mind that’s weak and a back that’s strong.

I was born one mornin’ when the sun didn’t shine I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal And the straw boss said, “Well a-bless my soul” 3.

I was born one mornin’ it was drizzling rain, A fightin’ and trouble are my middle name, I was raised in a canebrake by an ole mama lion Cain’t no high-toned woman make me walk the line 4.

If you see me comin’ better step aside A lotta men didn’t and a lotta men died.

ESL compared to EFL Most second language teachers in the U.S. believe that there is a difference between teaching English as a second language (ESL) and teaching English as a foreign language (EFL). One major difference is the reason for which the language is being learned. "ESL" implies that the student must learn to survive, and that the environment outside of the classroom reinforces the need for English literacy and fluency over any other language. English must be acquired as a second language with an equal or greater proficiency than the first language. ESL prepares students to learn in English with native speakers.

"EFL" may imply that English is used and heard mainly in the classroom, and that the methods focus more on learning about the language than in being able to participate in real communication with native speakers and in academic instruction in English.

May 1994. Bilingual teachers in New Mexico schools near the border with Mexico were asked, “What is the difference between teaching English here and in Mexico City?”

What is the main difference between your job as an English teacher in New Mexico and that of an English teacher in Mexico City?

The students here are exposed to English daily outside of the classroom.

We teach English for survival, in Mexico it is enrichment.

The students need English here. In Mexico it is a foreign language.

Students are motivated differently. In Mexico City Cantos Para Todos Volume III Teacher Manual ESL

it is a choice, so they would be more motivated.

Our students have to do it, so they don’t try.

In the U.S. they have to learn English well enough to learn all subjects in English. In Mexico they study English as a seperate subject.

What methods might be most effective for teaching English in Mexico City?

They should use the same methods we do, teach in context with Total Physical Response.

They should learn survival English, but the students will have a better attitude if a Natural Approach is used rather than rote and repetition. The goal should be communicative skills. Methods should include music, TPR, literature and language with context. Classroom subjects should be taught with a Sheltered English approach.

English should be taught with real life scenarios such as taking the students to a restaurant to order a meal, etc. Materials used in teaching should be purposeful and the meaning of the language should be made clear by the situation.

The goals should be geared to learning the fundamentals of survival English. Students should be able to function in real situations as well as learn the grammar.

Students should be able to acquire the language with total communication (ESL) rather than using foreign language methods of drill and repetition.

Teachers should model language in the way that the language is used for real communication.

I suppose that in Mexico City, English instruction focuses on survival skills such as memorization, minimal conversations and simple requests. I believe they should focus on the fundamentals of grammar and pronunciation in realistic contexts.

PAGE 47

They should make every effort to make learning enjoyable. Students should learn survial skills that would help them in real situations and prepare them to be in our classrooms here. Instruction should focus on being able to communicate.

Words should be learned in association with the concepts they represent.

Methods should focus on the basics, using a lot of TPR, visuals, and repetition in the context of what they are learning.

Communicative competence should be the goal using hands on material, TPR, and context to teach the grammar.

Start with the vowels, work into survival skills and real communication, studying the language as a whole.

They should probably teach English as an academic subject.

Teachers should model the language that the students will need through role playing, oral discussions, lots of pictures, a controlled vocabulary and sheltered English.

What do you think of encouraging the Mexico City teachers to model and teach academic language, or language that could be used in teaching subjects in English?

English time could be used to talk and discuss what occured during the day. Read to the students to model the language they will need.

Since knowledge transfers from one language to the other, a solid foundation in a subject matter in their native language prepares them to learn the next language. Students should be familiar and comfortable with the subject matter in order to feel success in the second language.

tion comes first, acadamic language will be acquired if they understand the concepts associated with the new words.

Teaching the English that is associated with subjects they already know helps them learn theEnglish, and it also reinforces what they learned early.

If they understand the concept already, then discussing the concept in the new language ensures that the new language is comprehensible and therefore, they will acquire the new language.

Students acquire a new language if the input is comprehensible. Studying a new language in the context of what they already know makes the new input comprehensible.

The English lesson should enhance what the student learned in other subjects in Spanish. This would make the student comprehend English better and also understand the other subject mater better. For example, my professor wrote a paragraph on the board in the International Phonetic Alphabet, which I was easily able to decipher due to my familiarity with the subject. However, I did very poorly in trying to read the words in that alphabet in isolation.

Teaching English in the context of what they studied earlier in the day in Spanish would reinforce that knowledge plus help their English because it allows for a broader picture and applies the new to the known.

Teachers could limit the vocabulary, use a clear context and visual aids, and thus “shelter� the English experience.

English time could be used to discuss subjects such as science, social studies, etc. to reinforce the curriculum, and make the English more meaningful because they understand the concept. If they understand what is going on it is easier to learn the vocabulary.

Although survival English and building a foundaPAGE 48

What is your recommendation about using realia, visuals, field trips, manipulatives, etc.?

cereal boxes, instructions, anything that communicates as a model for the grammar.

Every student learns a different way, so teachers should vary the methods and materials to reinforce learning by all.

Reading good literature to the students teaches them to read. Comprehensible reading teaches them grammar.

Concrete examples are necessary for all levels of learners.

What advice do you have for the Mexican English teachers whose students may eventually enroll in your classroom?

Students of every learning style need a chance.

Many students are visual learners and require such materials.You must have a vast amount of visuals and hands on activities for students to have total comprehension. TPR methods are very importamt.

Touching, seeing,smelling, acting out and anything with hands on training reinforces learing.

Many people learn more quickly with hands on experiences.

Newspapers, comic books, and anything they would like to read and would understand would help.

What is your advice on how to teach English grammar (semantics, syntax, phonology, orthography, etc.)?

You teach grammar by reading and writing a lot, inlcuding newspapers, books, maps, etc.

Read to them a lot, and give them lots of opportunities to read interesting materials.

They must hear you reading, and be able to read on their own, and hear tapes and videos for language models.

Student made books should be used in addition to much reading and being read to.

Don’t worry, I will work hard to teach them when they are in my classroom.

I will welcome any student entering my classroom and I will do my very best to teach them the things they need to know and open their minds to new horizons.

Our classrooms are receptive to all students and all students are expected to achieve. In my bilingual classroom I would hope students would arrive with basic reading skills in Spanisish, and at least an acquaintance with English.

Should a student from Mexico come to my classroom they would need to know the alphabet in English, numbers, basics and be ready to continue learning in English.

Their native language is the stepping stone to a vast body of knowledge in my classroom.

When your student comes into my bilingual classroom, she or she wwill be a success if they have a strong foundation in Spanish. I will take care of the English part of their studies .I hope the student has a strong foundation in English, which will help me build up his foundation in English.

I hope the student comes to school having been read to.Your student will be successful if a hard worker prpared in the foundations. Basic survial English is needed for success in a U.S. classroom.
