The Philippine Language Context


Cross-Linguistic Transfer of Literacy Ability Readers use knowledge of their native language as they read in a second language (Durgunoglu & Oney, 2000)

Possibly, transferability is bi-directional (Fitzgerald, 1999)

The Philippine Language Context

Cross-Linguistic Transfer of Literacy Ability Monolingual beginning reading instruction in Filipino had positive effects on childrens English literacy skills specifically in terms of the alphabet and phonological awareness (Aquino, 2005)

The Philippine Language Context

Cross-Linguistic Transfer of Literacy Ability Filipino and English bilingual-biliterates show cross-language interactions of various reading and language based skills (Ocampo, 2005)

The Matrix

The Teaching Guide is organized in the form of a matrix. An overarching social studies based theme is used the take-off point for designing the lessons. The matrix has the following parts:

The Matrix
1. Objectives 2. Pre-Assessment 3. Activating Prior Knowledge 4. Presentation 5. Modeling 6. Guided Practice 7. Independent Practice 8. Post-Assessment

English Curriculum Teaching Guide

The Matrix The Objectives


This portion of the matrix focuses on setting the targets for the daily and weekly lessons. The objectives portion identifies what the students should be able to understand (insight/value or concept) exhibit (skills) and appreciate at the end of each lesson. These objectives are based on the standards and competencies to be met by first graders.

The Matrix Sample Objectives


Theme: Me and My Family At the end of the lesson the students should be able to: Expressive Objectives: Realize that we have body parts that can do many things Appreciate that singing songs and reciting rhymes can be fun Instructional Objectives: Oral language: Listen and share about him/herself Phonological Awareness: Recognize words that rhyme Listening Comprehension: Listen and share about him/herself; Follow directions Vocabulary and Grammar: Recognize, identify, and give examples of naming words (body parts)

The Matrix Pre-Assessment


This portion of the matrix focuses on activities designed to determine what the students know and need to learn. This will be the basis for redesigning or adjusting the contents of the lesson.

The Matrix Sample Pre-Assessment


TOUCH YOUR BODY PART Have the class point to a body part 1. Teacher will ask the students to touch a body part. Ex. Can you touch your nose? 2. The students will attempt to touch the body part that the teacher says. 3. Teacher will assess the knowledge of the students as the activity goes along.

The Matrix Activating Prior Knowledge


This portion of the matrix focuses on activities designed to determine what the students know about the content to be covered in the lesson. The goal is to create an intersection between the background knowledge of the students and the content of the lesson. By tapping what the students know, we are awakening their interest, building motivation and preparing them for the learning experience.

The Matrix Sample Activating Prior Knowledge


BODY PART PUZZLE 1. Divide the class into groups. 2. Distribute the body parts cut-outs to each group. 3. Ask the children to form the puzzle of a boy and a girl using the different body parts (paper cut-outs) 4. Ask the children to share the names of body parts they already know.

The Matrix Presentation

This portion of the matrix focuses on unpacking the contents of the lesson. This may focus on interacting with the text or the explicit instruction of content.

The Matrix Sample Presentation


Sing a SONG about the parts of a body

Clap your Hands Clap your hands Touch your toes Turn around Put your finger on your nose Flap your arms Jump up high Wiggle your fingers And reach for the sky.

The Matrix Modeling

This portion of the matrix focuses on showing the students how to go through a particular thought process or how to perform a particular skill.

The Matrix Sample Modeling


Teacher will model identifying the names of particular body parts. 1. Teacher says These are my fingers while showing his/her fingers to the class. 2. Teacher asks Can you show me your fingers? Teacher asks the students to show their fingers to the class. 3. Teacher asks What do we call these? 4. Students will say the name of the body part that teacher is showing.

The Matrix Guided Practice

This portion of the lesson focuses on providing an opportunity to practice a particular skill in a whole class setting. This serves as an opportunity to provide feedback and to clarify concepts learned/applied.

The Matrix Sample Guided Practice


CLASS ACTIVITY 1. Teacher asks volunteers to show and name the body parts they have. 2. Teacher guides and assists the students as they attempt to talk about their body parts. Student 1: These are my ears. Can you show me your ears? Student 2: This is my nose. Can you show me your nose?

The Matrix Independent Practice

This portion of the matrix focuses on providing the students an opportunity to perform a particular skill and gain mastery.

The MatrixSample Independent Practice


TWISTER GAME 1. Divide the class into 2 groups. (or more depending on size of class) 2. Lay a Twister mat on the floor. *Twister mat is divided into squares. Each square has a different color. There should be at least 2 squares with the same color. 3. Give directions that will use names of body parts and colors. ex. Put your right hand on the color yellow. Put your left knee on the color blue. 4. Each player should be able to follow accordingly.

The Matrix Post-Assessment


This portion of the matrix focuses on activities designed to determine what the students know and need to learn. This will be the basis for redesigning or adjusting the contents of the lesson.

The Integration of Science

Astilla, Dela Paz, Par, Preclaro, Principe, Razon, Santos, Zuniga

The Integration of Science


A childs scientific thinking is strengthened when Science is integrated to literature. Integrating Science to literacy is one example of helping apply scientific concepts/information within a particular context so that it is presented in an understandable and interesting language. (Zeece, 1998)

The Integration of Science


The integration of Science motivates children to be more curious in solving problems. This integration also helps present models of scientific methods of observation, hypothesis formulation, collecting data, experimentation and evaluation. Lastly, it helps children to appreciate, value, understand and respect their world.

The Integration of Science


Science process skills include:

1. Observing qualities 2. Measuring quantities 3. Sorting/classifying 4. Inferring 5. Predicting 6. Experimenting 7. Communicating

The First Quarter Science Topics


Sense Organs: eyes, ears, nose, tongue, skin Observing and Describing things using the sense organs Care of the Sense Organs

Food: Different Kinds of Food Living and Non-Living Things

The Second Quarter Science Topics

A. Plants 1. Parts of a plant (leaves, stem, roots, flower, and fruit) 2. Common Characteristics of Plants 3. Uses of Plants 4. Needs of Plants 5. Care for Plants

The Second Quarter

B. Animals 1. How Animals Move 2. Where Animals Live 3. How Animals Eat 4. Comparing Animals 5. What Animals Need 6. Caring for Animals

Reminders When Teaching English

Concept, Language and Literacy are Intertwined


The more children experience the world, the more they will have to talk about.

The more language models children


interact with, the more opportunities they will have to develop language skills. The better their language activity and the more experiences children have, the more prior knowledge they will be able to bring to text when they read.

It all begins with a sense of wonder Develop varied interests and skills. Explore everything and anything. Talk about everything and anything weve explored. Allow them to explore the language. Encourage their attempts to express themselves. Provide options for them to respond and share.

Always
Start from meaningful words and good quality literature (e.g. songs, rhymes, stories etc.) Develop oral language ability in the language in which literacy will be developed (in this case, English) Use the different senses to develop knowledge of words and concepts/ideas Make learning fun and relevant!

Strategies for Teaching the English Language Domains

Oral Language, Vocabulary and Grammar

Four Most Effective Strategies in Language Teaching (Facella et. Al 2005)


(a) the use of gestures and visual cues (e.g. Total Physical Response learning action words by watching and imitating what the teacher says and does)

Song: Our Body Parts


(To the tune of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star)

We use our legs when we walk. We use our mouths when we talk. We use our hands when we write. We use our teeth when we bite. With each part, we can do a lot. Lets be proud of what weve got.

Steps to using Total Physical Response

1) Teaching/Learning 2) Practice or rehearsal 3) Testing or evaluation

Sample Application of TPR


(for the line We use our legs when we walk)
1) 2) While saying each line of the song, demonstrate the action and point to the body part that is moving. Demonstrate a think-aloud by pointing to the body part that is moving and saying, These are my/This is my ______. Allow the children to label the body part (once they are ready) This is my _______. Ask the students to point/talk about their body parts. Repeat the process, demonstrating less for the succeeding days.

3)
4) 5)

Pass It On
Choose a set of five or six students and have them form a circle. A leader must pass around an action clockwise (counter clockwise) by demonstrating what it can do. The action will be repeated by each seatmate until it reaches the end of the circle. Once it reaches the end, ask the question, What body part can (action word)? Answer by saying the phrase, My _________

Four Most Effective Strategies in Language Teaching (Facella et. Al 2005) (b) the repetition of opportunities for practicing skills (i.e. building memory and concept mastery);

Nose, Nose, Nose, Nose, Mouth


1. This game may be a whole class activity. Demonstrate how the game is to be played by pointing to your nose (4x) while naming it. On the fifth try, name one of your other body parts and point to another (e.g. Say eyes but point to your ears) The students should point to the correct body part and say This is my ________. The students can take turns being the leader.

2.

3.

4.

Four Most Effective Strategies in Language Teaching (Facella et. Al 2005)


(c) the use of objects, props, hands-on materials and realia to clarify meaning (e.g. using a puzzle; pictures; themselves)

Unlocking of Difficulties
New Manner of Unlocking Words

eyes

nose

Last night, I saw the eyes of the cat. Looking at me. This is what I saw. (show picture) Where are my eyes? I put the calachuchi flower under my nose. (demo) Where is my nose? The calachuchi flower smells good.

toes

I can reach my toes. (demonstration) Where are my toes?

Body Part Memory Game


1. Have two sets of pictures of the body parts included in the lesson. 2. Post them on the board (face down). 3. Flip open only two of the pictures. The object is to find a perfect match. 4. Once a pair is found, ask the student to give the name of the body part.

Four Most Effective Strategies in Language Teaching (Facella et. Al 2005)


(d) the use of multisensory approaches (i.e. activities that target a variety of learning styles and modalities)

Sing a Song
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Sing a song to the child. Unlock important words in the song Sing the song again! Teach the melody and the words Draw the song, Dance the song, Recite the song!

Song Remake!
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Sing a song to the child. Unlock important words in the song Sing the song again! Teach the melody and the words Draw the song, Dance the song, Recite the song! 6. Change some words to create a new song 7. Sing the new song

Funny Bones
1. Have the students choose a partner. 2. A chosen leader gives directions and asks the students to match a particular body part (e.g. hands) with that of his/her partner (e.g. hands) 3. The students can take turns being leader.

Finish My Song
Sing the target song together. Sing a few lines and leave a line unfinished. Ask a student to finish the song by providing the missing word. Clap your hands. Touch your _________. Turn around. Put a finger on your ________. Flap your arms. Jump up high. Wiggle your ___________ and reach for the _____.

Phonological Awareness

Silly Mistakes
Say a common song/rhyme and replace some of the words. Have the students identify what makes each sentence silly. Jack and Jill went up the stairs. To fetch a pail of milk. Jack fell down and broke his foot, and Jill came jumping after.

Youre It!
Eyes, ears, mouth, pencil Pencil - Youre it! Head, foot, sun, nose Sun - Youre it! Fingers, chair, toes, arms Chair - Youre it! Door, cheeks, legs, neck Door - Youre it!

Word Walk
1. Introduce the concept of counting words in a sentence by taking a walk as you say the words out loud. SENTENCE: I am Teacher Hazelle. STEP 1 2 3 4

2. Have students practice by giving them sentences to walk to. 3. The students can also make their own sentences.

Rhyme Remake
Say this rhyme and add the name of a boy and girl. Find two other names that rhyme with theirs.
Horsey, Horsey Run around with Betty. Kitty, Kitty Leap up and down with Horsey, Horsey Run around with Letty. Kitty, Kitty Leap up and down with

Marlon.

Jon.

Rhyme Dominoes

Mr./Miss Beginning & Mr./Miss End


Pass two balls/objects around the room while singing a song (e.g. Happy birthday to you). One ball must be labeled beginning and the other, end. At the end of the song, give a word:

c a t

Ask Mr./Miss Beginning to give the beginning sound of the given word and ask Mr./Miss End to give the last sound in the word.

Listening Comprehension

Activities to Develop Listening Comprehension


Provide experiences for the students to think and talk about: Take a Nature walk so they can label their world Demonstrate a Procedure/Process Provide thought-provoking pictures, wordless picture books Present different kinds of literature (e.g. songs, poems, stories etc) Engage the students in conversations about these experiences. Model a Think-Aloud Provide them questions/prompts to guide them when sharing with each other Provide sentence stems to get them started

Sample questions to ask before a text is presented


1. Tap Prior Knowledge 2. Do a picture walk through (if available) a. Have the student name/label the pictures b. The students can narrate what is happening using the pictures 3. Have students predict what might happen. 4. Ask questions to prepare them for the text. Based on the pictures on the poster/in our book what do you think will the song/story be about?
