Learning and Evaluation Situation. Cycle One,Year Two

PRESENTATION

General purpose of this Learning and Evaluation

situation:

The whole LES is centered around an original and attractive Big Book with an exclusive

storyline, and appealing format. Let's go out! is about discovering fruits and vegetables,

and developing healthy habits. Children need to associate reading with pleasure and

their imagination needs to be triggered. While designing the tasks, the authors took into

account linguistic and affective factors for each of the following activities: first and

second reading of the Big Book, song, personalized mini calendar book, board game

activity, Arts & Craft activity, memory game and Inside-Out activity. All activities are

connected to the main theme. They present recurrent elements of the Big Book, and

strongly emphasize the use of repetitive phrases and key vocabulary. The activities

imply developing learning strategies, as well as developing social and linguistic skills.

Finally, Let's go Out! follows the MELS program's guidelines for Primary school Cycle

one level, and embraces a communicative approach of second language learning,

fostering a low anxiety lively learning atmosphere for young learners.

Wind down, concentrating on their coloring pages

Have students mimic HEALTHY and STRONG (as they did in the song).

Personalize the “healthy heart”

Tell students they are going to color the “healthy heart”, write their names on the line provided (so it becomes “Healthy ME”), and when it’s ready, they are going to display it on the classroom walls.

JUSTIFICATION Big Books, according to Colville-Hall and O’Connor (2006), allow young readers to use

their prior knowledge to identify words, helping word recognition and identification.

Reading a story is an inductive procedure that allows the internalizing process of new

language acquisition. Abdellah (n.d.) reminds us of the numerous benefits of songs in an

ESL setting. Songs develop pupils’ listening and speaking skills, they help improve

pronunciation while it stimulates children’s interest in the new language and motivate

their participation in a fun way.

Model the game with one team. Tell and show students: First, you put all the cards face down, the first player picks one card and have to say the word out loud in English, you must say the word out loud if you don’t know it, ask your partner, then you pick a second card, again you have to say the word out loud. If the two cards are the same you have a match so you keep the cards. If the cards are not the same, you put them back face down on the table and it's the next player's turn. The player who ends up with the most cards wins the game.

Ask students if they have any question to raise their hand.

Monitor students to make sure they

speak English and understand the game. Intervene if necessary.

JUSTIFICATION OF PEDAGOGICAL CHOICES This task is designed to promote the second reading of the Big Book. The purpose of

the second reading is to retell the story and engage the students in an active

participation. The teacher leads the reading, but the students are encouraged to join in

choral response, verbalized repetitive phrases individually or in group. The students

have the opportunity to listen and imitate the rhythmically of the English language.

Characters and objects are pointed out and identified. The reading is purposely

interrupted, the teacher has the liberty to emphasize some vocabulary, point to pictures

and elicit vocabulary. The presentation of flashcards with pictures (with and without

words) will develop the print awareness, the reading and writing skills. The winding down

moment allows the students to relax and draw a picture of what they remember from the

Big Book.

JUSTIFICATION OF PEDAGOGICAL TASK Games have specific pedagogical values particularly in second language learning.

Games are effective because they capture student’s attention; they provide motivation,

lower student’s stress and give students the opportunity for real communication.

According to Piaget, play provides the child with multitude of opportunities to interact

with materials in the environment and construct his or her own knowledge about the

word (course content). Furthermore, in Vygotskian terms “Play is the source of

development and creates the zone of proximal development” (1978, p.138, cited in

Course Content). In play, the child interacts with others (more skilled peers, teachers,

and parents) and can learn from them (Pinter, 2006).

INTEGRATION

(10 minutes)

Role of the student Role of the teacher Form two concentric circles Explain the inside-out circle cooperative

activity

Students face each other in two concentric circles

Divide classroom into two groups

When the music stops:

Students from outer circle ask a question to their partner: "-What do you see?"

Distribute one mini flashcard to each student of the outer circle.

Students from the inner circle answer the question :

"I see an apple/strawberry/etc."

Form two concentric circles (with the inside circle facing out and the outside circle facing in).

Rotate. Middle circle will turn one way.

Change roles. Outer circle will turn opposite direction.

When the music stops (or teacher gives a prompt): students stop moving and face each other.

A student from the outer circle faces a student from the inner circle.

Each student show a card to his/her partner and ask: "-What do you see?"

Each student will answer: "-I see a ..."

Name the fruit or vegetable

The students rotate.

After each rotation, a new question is asked.

Change roles. Students from the outer circle give the flashcards to those of the inner circle.

The goal is to practice many fruits and vegetables that have been seen in the lesson (previous tasks), develop automatism in saying these new words of repertoire.

Reflect on activity : "How did you feel today?" "Did you like the activity?"

JUSTIFICATION OF PEDAGOGICAL TASK

At this level of learning, identified as the early-production level, the students rely on both

processing: Bottom-up and Top-down processing. At this level, students should not be

given activities that are too complex or "that require to manipulate linguistic features that

they do not know yet". In this task, the main activity is creating a personalized version of

the Big Book, a mini calendar book. In doing so, the students demonstrate their

understanding of the Big Book and their ability to carry out instructions. Along with the

teacher, they have to identify point and name various fruits and vegetables seen on the

flashcards or written on the board. They repeat the key words. "New words are now

segments of speech that make sense for them, to which they can associate images".

The activity can be adapted to the level of confidence of the child: he/she can either

label the object or write the corresponding word. This activity should motivate the

children to participate in their learning process. We aimed at creating material that is

attractive and that correspond to the appropriate level. The classroom atmosphere

should be lively and stress-less.
