THEORETICAL BACKGROUNDBased on the book Pedagogía Adventista*

God created perfect human beings

God.is. love.and.due.to.his. immense.love.He.created.man.in.His.own.image..God.blessed.man.and.gave.him.the.possibility.to.interact.with.Him.as.his.Creator,.with.other.human.beings.as.his.peers,.and.with.nature.as.host..These.relationships.were.perfect..Unfortunately,.the.presence.of.sin.destroyed.these.well-balanced.relationships..Therefore,.continuous. communion. with. the. Lord. was. spoilt;. humans. are. in.constant.conflict.with.their.peers.and.they.do.not.take.care.of.nature.

However,. these. relationships. can. be. restored. through. true.education.

“....True.education.means.more.than.the.pursuit.of.a.certain.course.of.study..It.means.more.than.a.preparation.for.the.life.that.now.is..It. has. to. do. with. the. whole. being. and. with. the. whole. period. of.existence.possible.to.man..It.is.the.harmonious.development.of.the.physical,.the.mental,.and.the.spiritual.powers..It.prepares.the.student.for.the.joy.of.service.in.this.world.and.for.higher.joy.of.wider.service.in.the.world.to.come.”.(Ellen.White,.Education,.p..13;.en.adelante,.Ed)..

A.relationship.with.Jesus.should.be.the.first.step.of.the.human.learning. process. and. should. serve. as. a. guide. to. ensure. the.development.of.deeper.knowledge.in.all.cognitive.areas.

Real.knowledge.is.seen.as.a.synonym.of.wisdom..It.is.a.continuous.process.that.lasts.a.lifetime.

Methodology: how to approach learningTeachers.should.base.their.teaching.on.Christian.principles.and.

beliefs.Integration of faith and teaching “For. the. Jews,. there. was. no...

separation.between.God.and.History,. the. sacred.and. the. secular,.between.pedagogy.and.religion,.faith.and.reasoning”.(PA.14).

Jesus. should. be. part. of. daily. activities.. Christian. teachers.should.not.leave.Him.out.of.their.teaching..In.order.to.achieve.this.integration,.teachers.must.first.have.a.close.relationship.with.God.

A deep knowledge of students’ backgrounds:. It. is. of. vital.importance. to. be. aware. of. students’. prior. knowledge,. interests.and.needs.in.order.to.begin.the.process.of.teaching.and.learning.correctly.

An affective learning environment:. Teachers. should. provide.a. classroom. experience. that. is. nonthreatening. and. one. which.demonstrates.to.their.students.a.deep.understanding.of.their.needs..The.key.is.to.make.students.feel.welcome.and.comfortable.so. that. their. anxieties.and. fears.do.not. impede. their.learning..This.does.not.mean.that.teachers.should.not.establish.limits,.which.are.necessary,.but.they.should.follow.Jesus’.example.in.doing.this.

Respect towards students’ differences:.Each.student.should.be.seen.as.a.child.of.God,.someone.extremely.important. for. whom. Jesus. gave. his. life.. Moreover,.God.has.given.them.different.talents.and.abilities.that. make. them. unique.. As. a. result,. students’.individuality. and. potential. must. be. respected.since.they.have.the.possibility.of.developing.these.throughout.their.lifetime.

Relationship between theory and practice:. Theory.and.practice.must.go.together..What. is. learnt.should.be. practised.. Practice. should. be. integrated. into.all. aspects. of. life.. Teaching. concepts. will. not. be.

THEORETICAL BACKGROUND

atmosphere.and.serve.as.visual.aids..So.it.would.be.appropriate.to.have.a.bulletin.board.or.an.English.board.for.these.purposes..

Approach, strategies, techniques and audio-visual aidsIt’s. important. for. teachers. to. ask. themselves. the. following.

questions:Do. I. have. the. appropriate. equipment. and. resources. for. the.

development.of.my.class?Do.I.use.different.visual.aids.to.illustrate.and.to.promote.learning.

and.production?Are.the.visual.aids.big.enough.for.all.the.students.to.see.them?Do.I.include.Total.Physical.Response.(TPR).activities.in.class?Do.I.bring.different.kind.of.games.to.promote.learning?Do.I.use.different.teaching.techniques.and.strategies.to.cater.for.

students’.different.learning.styles.and.potential?Do.I.connect.the.new.target.language.with.my.students’.previous.

knowledge?Do.I.organize.tasks.that.are.significant.for.my.students?Do.I.provide.different.group.work.dynamics.to.make.them.interact.

socially.and.to.promote.cooperative.learning?Do.I.design.activities.to.be.solved.individually.in.order.to.promote.

autonomous.learning?

meaningful.and.sufficient.unless.they.are.related.to.students’.daily.lives.and.experiences.

Teaching values:.Students.need.to. learn.how.to.develop.good.habits.and.how.to. interact.with.others.with. respect..They.should.learn.to.be.responsible.and.cooperative..They.need.to.know.about.their.rights.but.also.about.their.obligations..

Developing creativity: Teachers. should. promote. their. students’.creativity.when.completing. tasks.. In.other.words,. children.should.be.encouraged.to.seek.out.opportunities.to.gain.new.skills.by.using.their.imagination.

Service: One.of.the.main.objectives.of.Christian.education.is.to.serve.others,.just.like.Jesus.did.when.He.lived.among.human.beings..Teachers.should.strive.to.plan.different.situations.in.which.students.can.render.service.to.their.peers.and.to.anyone.around.them.

Things to bear in mind

The classroomIn.most.cases,.English.language.teachers.do.not.have.classrooms.

of. their. own. and. so. they.must. go. from. classroom. to. classroom..Consequently,. before. the. class. starts,. it. can. be. very. useful. for.teachers.to.ask.themselves.the.following.questions.

● Is.there.enough.room.in.the.classroom.to.allow.students.to.move.around.and.interact.with.others?.It. is.important.to.keep.in.mind.the.available.classroom.space.when.designing.activities..If.there.is.not.enough.space,.teachers.should. not. be. afraid. of. carrying. out. some. tasks. or. activities.in. the.playground.or.school.yard..Of.course,. it’s. important. to.remember.to.ask.for.permission.first..● Is.there.a.special.board.to.display.students’.work?Students.will.work.harder.and.will.be.more.motivated.if.they.know.that.their.work.will.be.displayed.where.parents.and.classmates.can. see. them.while. at. the. same. contributing. to. create. a. nice.

It.would.be.beneficial.if.at.the.beginning.of.the.school.year.you.design.an.English.corner.with.your.students...You.can.organize.a.workshop.where.the.students.can.help.you.paint.and.decorate.

“The.English.bookcase”,.“The.English.bulletin.board”..You.can.use. wooden. crates. -like. those. used. to. keep. vegetables-,.sponges,.water.paint,.etc..In.addition,.parents.can.be.invited.to.take.part.in.the.workshop..They.will.be.delighted.to.be.involved.in.it...

THEORETICAL BACKGROUND

Do.I.allow.students.enough.time.to.accomplish.the.tasks?Do.I.provide.feedback.to.contribute.to.my.students’.progress?Do.I.praise.my.students’.for.their.achievements?Do.I.focus.my.practice.on.Jesus.as.the.center.of.our.lives?.Do.I.teach.students.that.the.Bible.is.the.main.source.of.knowledge.

and.wisdom?

useful suggestions•. Before.planning.lessons,.it.is.advisable.to.check.all.the.resources.

and.materials.needed..If.special.equipment.is.needed,.such.as.a.CD.player,.it.is.important.to.check.its.availability.and.working.condition..This.will.help.teachers.have.an.effective.development.of.the.class.and.avoid.wasting.time,.which.leads.to.disruptive.behaviour.

•. Eye-catching. visual. aids. and. realia. should. be. used. to. make.language.more.meaningful..These.should.be.big.enough.for.all.the.students.to.see..

•. Children. at. this. age. learn. through. games,. songs,. chants,. but.mainly.by.experiencing.things..This.includes.activities.like.acting.out.a.story,.following.instructions.through.movements,.miming,.playing.different.kind.of.games,.etc..It.is.good.to.let.them.choose.between.one.activity.and.another.from.time.to.time..Students.should.have.the.chance.to.make.simple.choices,.such.as.what.project.they.would.like.to.do..This.will.increase.motivation,.keep.their.attention.and.make.language.more.memorable.and,.at.the.same.time,.will.help.them.to.become.gradually.autonomous.in.the.process.of.learning..

•. Teachers. should. avoid. teaching. always. in. the. same. way. or.according. to. their. learning. style.. For. instance,.when. teaching.vocabulary,.different.kinds.of.teaching.aids.should.be.used,.such.as.realia,.drawings,.pictures,.body.language,.spidergrams,.etc.

•. When.introducing.a.new.topic,.the.teacher.should.try.to.set.a.scene.or.a.situation.in.which.students.can.establish.connections.

with. what. they. already. know. about. the. topic.. In. this. way.language.becomes.more.meaningful. for. students. as. they. can.contribute.with.their.own.experiences.to.the.class,.while.at.the.same.time.they.feel.actively.involved.in.the.learning.process.

•. Tasks.should.be.carefully.designed.in.order.to.be.appealing.and.significant.to.young.learners..In.other.words,.tasks.should.not.be.beyond.their.understanding,.but.should.be.challenging.enough.to. capture. their. interest.. .This. can.be.achieved. if. tasks.have.clear. learning. goals,. coherence,. unity. for. learners,. beginning.and.end,.and.keep.students.actively.engaged..

•. Student. groups. should. be. planned. according. to. the. activity.they.have. to.participate. in,. as.well. as. the. space.available. in.the. classroom.. Criteria. should. be. established. to. arrange. the.students’.seating.in.a.way.that.will.allow.them.to.find.their.place.quickly. and. smoothly.. Instructions. must. be. clear. and. short..Some.activities.are.better.if.done.individually,.while.others.are.more.appropriate.if.done.in.pairs,.groups.or.as.a.whole.class.

• Students should be allowed enough time to finish the tasks. .Children.need.extended.periods.of.time.to.really.get.involved.in.activities..They.experience.great.satisfaction.when.they.finish.the.task.given..Teachers.should.give.students.support.when.they.need.it,.but.should.be.careful.not.to.take.over.completely..

• teachers should provide feedback that contributes to students’ language progress. Teachers.should be.tolerant.towards.mistakes,.keeping.in. mind. the. fact. that. students. at.this. age. have. just. started. the.process. of. learning. a. second.language.. And. so. errors.are. normal,. necessary. and.natural.. Students’. production.should. be. guided. through.paraphrasing. and. modelling,.

THEORETICAL BACKGROUND

encouraging. self-correction. and. peer. correction,. among. other.techniques.

• teachers should be encouraging. Being.critical.will.kill.students’.eagerness.to.learn..It.is.important.to.let.them.know.whenever.they.have.reached.a.goal...

•. Students.should.be.encouraged.to.develop.the.habit.of.praying,.which.should.include.both.prayer.requests.and.blessings.they.are.thankful.for. This.can.be.achieved.through.short.and.simple.prayers,.songs.and.chants..Also.students.should.be.given.the.opportunity.to.listen.to.Bible.stories..

The bookThe.aim.of.Best Friends 1.is.to.integrate.faith.and.teaching.in.English.

language.classes.in.a.practical.and.natural.way...The.idea.underlying.this.project.is.to.provide.English.teachers.with.a.comprehensive.tool.that.they.can.use.within.the.Christian.educational.framework..

The.book.has.been.purposely.designed.to.emphasize.the.concept.of.Jesus.as.the.center.of.people’s.lives..This.concept.is.presented.through.the.close.relationship.that.the.characters.of.the.book.experience.with.Him..This.relationship.with.Jesus.is. portrayed. in. their. daily. activities.. The. aim. is. to.allow.children.to.meet.Jesus,.recognizing.Him.as.their.creator,.protector.and.friend..

the syllabus.intends.to.provide.a.balance.among.spiritual,.mental,.physical.and.social.dimensions.

The. activities. designed.point. to. interact.with. peers,.to. develop. their. minds. in. the. acquisition. of. a. second.language,. to. learn. through. practice. and. by. doing,. but.mainly.to.see.Jesus.as.part.of.their.daily.lives.

In.this.way.these.activities.can.act.as.a.bridge.that.facilitates.interaction.with.God,.peers.and.society..

The. book. presents. the. sequence. of. the. concepts. to. be.taught..However,.the.methods,.techniques.and.strategies.to.

approach.the.different.concepts.will.depend.on.what.each.teacher.considers.more.appropriate.for.their.students.

There.are.many.activities.designed.and.additional.tasks.suggested,.but.this.does.not.mean.that.teachers.have.to.carry.out.all.of.them..Each.teacher.should.select.them.according.to.their.students’.needs.and. interests.. Teachers. can. adapt. them.or. bring. their. own. ideas.to.the.class..Remember.that.a.wide.variety.of.resources.will.help.students.in.their.learning.process.

Characteristics of young learnersEvery.child.is.unique..Therefore,.each.child’s.development.

is.different.and.complex..Children.develop.through.a.generally.predictable.sequence.of.steps;.however,.they.do.not.proceed.through.these.steps.in.the.same.way..Besides,.this.development.is.greatly.influenced.by.the.environment.and.life.experiences.each.child.can.have..The.following.information.is.just.a.brief.comment.on.

general.characteristics.that.are.expected.to.be.achieved.within.six.years.

General characteristics•. They. have. longer. attention. spans. and.still. prefer. structured. activities.. They. require.much. direction. from. teachers. and. frequently.ask.questions.to.ensure.that.they.are.doing.tasks.appropriately..Explanations.should.be.clear.and.short..Sometimes,.it.is.much.more.convenient.if.the.teacher.takes.part.in.the.activity.instead.of.providing.long.instructions.

•. They.can.also.give.and.follow.directions.for.moving.around.a.room.•. They.enjoy.moving.in.a.variety.of.ways..

THEORETICAL BACKGROUND

foot-eye.coordination.is.still.developing,.so.skills.like.throwing,.catching,.kicking.and.striking.are.still.emerging..TPR.activities.are.of.vital.importance.at.this.stage..

•. They.are.confident.and.take.delight.in.showing.off.their.talents..They. start. being. aware. of. their. feelings. and. emotions. and.start. taking.control.of.them..They. like.sharing.activities.with.their.peers.as.well.as.with.adults.since.they.provide.emotional.stability..They.cope.poorly.with.failure.and.do.not.like.being.criticized.

•. They.can.use.a.different.range.of.materials.to.create.visual.images.that. combine. colours,. forms. and. lines.. They. can. remember. the.words.and.melodies. to.a.number.of.songs.and.may.sing. these.songs..They.can.create,.imitate.and.explore.movement.in.response.to.a.musical.beat..Children.at.this.age.can.also.repeat.simple.text..

When learning a second language

In. the.1970s,. research.gave. rise. to. the.hypothesis. that.people.should. acquire. the. second. language. in. the. same.way. they. have.acquired.the.first.one..According.to.some.researchers.such.as.the.psychologists. Vigotsky. and. Piaget. and. the. linguists. Krashen,. we.should.pay.more. attention. to. the.way. an. infant.makes. sense.of.the.world.and.acquires.his.first.language.as.he.interacts.with.the.environment.

Many.methods.and.approaches.have.applied.these.researchers’.observations. to. second. language. teaching..Among. these. are. the.Natural. Approach,. the. Communicative. Approach. and. the. Total.Physical.Response.(TPR)..Some.of.their.principles.sustain.that.the.children.who.are.learning.a.second.language.should:•. …be.allowed.to.have.a.silent.period.till.they.can.make.sense.of.

the.second.language.words..Just.as.a.baby.spends.a.lot.of.time.listening.to.the.language.till.he.feels.ready.to.speak..

•. …receive. meaningful. exposure. to. the. language.. For. instance.meaning. should. be. conveyed. through. pictures,. movement,.

•. Their.receptive.vocabulary.(words.recognized.when.heard.or.seen).is.much.wider.than.their.productive.one.

•. They. learn. vocabulary. related. to. everyday. life,. especially.that.related.to.experiences.at.school.and.at.their.homes..It.is.extremely.important.to.teach.students.words.connected.to.concepts.they.are.familiar.with.

•. They.enjoy.language.play,.including.nursery.rhymes,.songs.and.word.games..

•. They.show.understanding.of.verbal.instructions.by.respond-ing.either.through.physical.responses.or.yes/no.answers.

•. They.easily.memorize.words.with.more.common.sound.patterns..•. They.should.be.able.to.say.and.understand.demonstrative.

pronouns.and.use.them.appropriately..•. They.often.have.trouble.producing.correct.pronouns..•. They.can.provide.simple.descriptions,.such.as.“red.car”..

•. They.can.express.ideas.using.simple.sentences.•. They.grasp.the.idea.of.content.words.that.label.things,.like.

“car”.or.“doll,”.but.not.of.function.words.like.“the”.or.“is”..•. They.learn.rules.for.making.words.plural.•. They.can.understand.and.repeat.stories.in.which.events.are.

in.a.logical.order..•. They.are.able. to.ask.and.answer.simple.“wh-”.questions:.

who,.what,.where,.•. They.can.start.a.conversation.and.give.directions.to.others.

•. They.begin.to.respect.turn-takings.•. They.can.recognize.common,.high-frequency.words.by.sight,.

meaning.that.they.are.read.quickly.and.automatically,.with-out.decoding.letter.by.letter.

THEORETICAL BACKGROUND

gestures. and. acting. or. even. by. using. the. students’. native.language.when.it.is.necessary...

•. …be.exposed.to.a.language.just.above.their.level.of.production,.in.other.words.the.input.should.be.“comprehensible”.for.them..

•. …learn.in.a.friendly.environment.in.order.to.keep.their.“affective.filter.low”...According.to.Krashen’s.affective.filter.hypothesis,.students’.language.acquisition.is.influenced.by.their.attitudes,.feelings,. needs. and. emotions.. Therefore. if. a. student. feels.anxious.or.stressed,.he.may.not.acquire.the.language.as.well.as.a. learner. that. feels. comfortable,.motivated.and.secure. in.the.class..

•. …be. asked. to. respond. to. the. language.with. all. their. beings,.which.implies.body.and.mind..This.can.be.achieved.by.the.giving.of.commands.to.which.the.students.act.in.response..In.this.way.the.child’s.learning.becomes.more.memorable.and.less.stressful...

•. …be.allowed.to.make.mistakes.till.they.gain.confidence.in.the.second.language..According.to.the.“Error.Analysis”,.errors.should.be. considered. positive. and. necessary. to. the. development. of.language..That.is.to.say.students.move.forward.and.backward.as. they.become.more.native-like,. just. as. a. young. child. does.when.he.is.learning.his.mother.tongue.

•. …interact.with.an.adult.in.order.to.progress.from.the.actual.level.of.their.language.to.the.potential.one..In.other.words.somewhere.between.his.“Zone.of.Proximal.Development”..According.to.this.hypothesis.the.child.can.learn.more.than.on.his.own.with.the.assistance.of.an.older.person..

EACH STUDENT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED UNIQUE

“….teachers should give special emphasis to the cultivation of the weaker faculties that all the powers may be brought into exercise,

carried forward from one degree of strength to another…”.

(Fundamentals of Christian Education.p..16)

According.to.the.multiple.intelligences.theory,.all.learners.learn.in.different.ways.since.each.of.them.possesses.different.intelligences..

Teachers. who. see. their. students. as. multiple. intelligence.learners.acknowledge.that.they.are.not.going.to. learn.

in. the. same. way.. Howard. Gardner. theorized. that.individuals.have.at.least.seven.intelligences.although.they. are. not. equally. developed.. Therefore. it. is.

important.to.plan.lessons.and.provide.activities.that.represent.each.of.them.in.order.to.develop.not.only.the.students’.main.intelligences.but.also.the.less.developed.ones.

In. order. to. keep. up. with. the. principles.discussed.above,.each.unit.has.been.designed.

to.address.students’.different.learning.styles and multiple intelligences:

Verbal/Linguistic:.to.establish.a.verbal.linguistic.learning. atmosphere. this. book. has. attempted. to.

include.activities.that.will.promote.verbal.interaction..To.achieve.this,.emphasis.should.be.placed.on.developing.students’. listening.skills..Since. it. is. through. listening,.

that. students. learn. to.speak.correctly.and.understand.as.well. as.pronounce.the.sounds.of.the.target.language..So.each.unit.of.the.book. presents. different. kinds. of. listening. tasks,. storytelling,. and.role.plays.as.well.as.opportunities.for.the.students.to.interact.with.each.other.and.the.teacher.by.asking.and.answering.questions..To.become.effective.communicators,.students.should.learn.to.use.facial.expressions,.body.language.and.the.appropriate.tone..This.can.be.practised.when.they.are.acting.out.a.story.or.doing.a.role.play.or.talking.about.their.preferences..

Body/Kinesthetic:. Kinesthetic. students. learn. best. when. they.involve.their.whole.bodies.in.the.activities.or.when.they.experience.things..Throughout.the.book.you.are.going.to.find.some.tasks.that.will.help.your.students.to.get involved.in.activities.such.as.acting,.miming,.simulations,.games,.movement,.and.real. life.experiences..Furthermore.some.activities.will.require.specific.motor.skills.such.as.cutting.out,.doing.crafts.and.different.kind.of.displays..

Musical/rhythmic:..each.unit.provides.all.types.of.activities.that.develop.students’.musical.skills...For. instance.songs,.sounds.and.chants. are. presented. throughout. the. whole. book.. Students. can.respond.to.these.activities.by.singing,.imitating.sounds.or.moving..In.addition,.songs.will.help.students.pick.up.the.language.as.well.as.help.create.a.nice.atmosphere.by.making.learning.much.funnier.and.more.memorable..Moreover,.songs.and.chants.will.provide.students.the. opportunity. to. render. thanks. to. God. since. in.most. of. these.activities.Jesus.is.presented.as.the.center.of.their.lives...

Interpersonal:.these.kinds.of.learners.have.the.ability.to.interact.and. communicate. effectively.. . For. these. learners. the. best. way.of. learning. is. by. interacting.with. others.. This. can. be. achieved. by.arranging.the.students.in.pair.or.group.work..Some.activities.in.the.book.such.as.projects,.role.plays,.games,.acting.outs.and.dialogues.have.been.created.to.develop.the.students’.social.abilities,.which.not.only.foster.listening.and.speaking.skills.but.also.promote.cooperation.and.a.better.understanding.of.other.people’s.feelings.and.needs....

EACH STUDENT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED UNIQUE

Intrapersonal:. intrapersonal. learners. work. independently,.acknowledge.their.thoughts.and.feelings.and.manage.to.practise.self.discipline..Activities.that.can.promote.these.skills.are.the.practice.of.self.assessment.and.homework..

Visual/Spatial:.Students.who.are.visual.oriented.have.many.skills.such.as.visual.discrimination,.mental.imagery,.and.spatial.reasoning.among.others..To.promote.these.aptitudes.some.activities.have.been.especially.designed.in.the.book.in.order.to.foster.visual.and.spatial.reasoning..Among.them.you.will.encounter.paintings,.drawings,.card.games,.board.games.and.chart.completion..Moreover,.each.unit.is.illustrated. through. colorful. pictures. and. drawings. that. will. catch.students’. attention.and.make. the. language.more.meaningful. and.enjoyable..

Logical/mathematical:.Some.students.are.more.engaged.when.they.are. challenged. to. solve. a.problem.or.do.a.puzzle.. In. these.cases.you.are.dealing.with.students.that.have.logical-mathematical.intelligence..In.order.to.draw.their.attention.each.unit.has.activities.that. involve. logical. and. mathematical. skills. such. as. classifying,.categorizing,. puzzle. solving,. guessing. games,. discovering. code,.putting.things.in.order,.comparing,.counting,.and.calculating....

AssessmentAssessment.should.be.carried.out.continuously.by.monitoring.in.

the. classroom.. Each. student.must. be. assessed. individually. since.they.learn.at.their.own.pace.and.style.

Assessment.must.be.congruent:.Children.should.be.assessed.in.the.way.they.have.learnt.during.each.lesson,.using.activities.they.are.familiar.with.either.individually.or.in.groups..Teachers.should.also.take. into.account. students’. strengths.and.weaknesses.as.well. as.the.way.they.interact.with.others,.participate,.take.responsibilities.and.perform. in. class.. This. kind. of. assessment. should. be. carried.out.through.observations,.record.keeping,.portfolios.(i.e.keeping.a.collection.of.their.work),.and.self-assesment.sheets.

ABOUT THE STUDENT’S BOOK ORGANIZATION

Best.Friends.1.has.been.designed.to.meet.5.to.7-year-old.needs..Emphasis.has.been.given. to.spoken. language..However,. listening.skills.have.a.priority.over.oral.production.since.at.this.age.students.do.not.master.the.language.and.forcing.them.to.speak.can.increase.their.anxiety..Simple.texts.are.introduced.in.the.book.with.the.sole.purpose. of. helping. students. get. acquainted. with. the. language..To. make. them. more. meaningful,. the. texts. are. illustrated. and.accompanied.by.audio. recordings.. . Following. the.principle.of. the.Zone.of.Proximal.Development,.children.are.not.required.to.read.or.write.since.it.could.be.extremely.demanding.and.time.consuming.

• The book consists of eight units..The.units.have.been.organized.according.to.a.careful.selection.of.topics.which.are.presented.in.context..The.syllabus.has.been.designed.in.order.to.suit.students’.age. and. level. of. cognition.. Language. is. recycled. throughout.the.units.to.allow.students.to.practise.it.in.different.situations...Thus,.students.have.different.opportunities.to.consolidate.what.they.have.learnt.

• Each unit is intended to be developed in five or six lessons..However,.this.will.depend.on.many.factors.such.as.the.amount.of.hours.of.classes.you.have.per.week.and/or.on.students’.progress.

• All the units focus on Jesus as the center of students’ lives..The.aim.is.to.lead.children.to.a.close.relation.with.Our.Father.through.the.experience.of.the.characters.of.the.book..In.this.way.they.can. be. encouraged. to. restore. and. reinforce. their. communion.with.God.

Introduction and general reviewThe.Introductory.unit.presents.the.characters.of.the.book.to.the.

students.as.well.as.simple.language.functions.as.how.to.introduce.themselves,.greetings,.etc..

The.General.Review.is.divided.into.units.that.correspond.to.the.ones. developed. in. the. book. and. there. is. a. wrap-up. section. to.integrate. all. the. language. items. developed.. The. General. Review.provides.tasks,.activities,.and.games.to.integrate.and.to.reinforce.all.the.language.items.taught.during.the.course..

unit organizationPresentation of the unit

The. units. are. topic-based.. You. can. find. topics. such. as. the.relationship. between. Jesus. and. human. beings,. school,. family,.and. food,. among.others..The.first. two.pages.present. the. theme,.vocabulary.and.target.language.to.be.developed.in.the.whole.unit..The.language.and.vocabulary.are.presented.within.a.context.which.comes.from.the.student’s.own.world.and.daily.experiences.in.order.to.be.meaningful.and.significant.to.the.children..

the General review can be used in different ways.

•. It.can.be.used.as.a.workbook.to.reinforce.the.language.taught.after.each.unit.

•. It.can.be.used.to.test.students’.progress.upon.completion.of.each.unit.

ABOUT THE STUDENT’S BOOK ORGANIZATION

unit developmentactivities:

In.each.unit.there.are.warm.up.activities.suggested.in.the.teacher`s.book.to.connect.the.new.topic.with.the.previous.one..Most.of.the.activities.have.a.communicative.purpose.allowing.students.to.use.the.language.to.communicate.with.each.other..

The.activities.are.varied.in.order.to.cater.to.the.different.learning.styles.and.also.to.promote.the.development.of.multiple.intelligences.

Even.though.the.emphasis.is.on.spoken.language,.some.activities.are.designed. to.gradually. introduce.students. to.written. language.through.simple.texts.and.phrases.

The. variety. of. activities. will. generate. different. patterns. of.interactions. and. group. dynamics.. Thus,. students. will. have. the.opportunity.to.work.individually.at.their.own.pace.as.well.as.in.pairs.or.in.groups..This.will.develop.students’.social.skills,.and.values.

Games:There.are.many.games. included. in.each.unit.and.many.others.

suggested.in.the.Teacher’s.guide.Remember.that.kids.enjoy.playing.and.they.are.highly.motivated.

during..games,.which.allows.them.to.lessen.their.anxiety..Games.are.used.with. the.purpose.of.achieving.educational.aims..They.allow.students. to. interact.with.others. in.a. fun.way.promoting.dynamic.exchanges.

Games. with. an. educational. purpose. have. the. following.characteristics:•. A.level.of.freedom,•. The.possibility.of.providing.joy,•. Challenges.

Story time:In.each.unit.there.is.a.story.section..The.context.created.by.the.story,.

its.predictable.patterns.of.events.and.language,.and.pictures,.all.act.to.support.listeners’.understanding.of.unfamiliar.words...Children.will.pick.up.words.that.they.enjoy,.and.so.will.take.advantage.of.the.potential.stories. offer. for. vocabulary. growth. (Cameron,. Lynne.. 2008.. Teaching.Language.to.Young.Learners.p.163).This.section.will.also.provide.students.the.opportunity.to.be.exposed.to.language.through.listening.and.simple.written.words.. They. can. also. practise. language. in. an. enjoyable.way.through.dramatizations,.role.plays,.repetition.of.simple.texts.and.sounds..

Apart. from.contributing.to. language.acquisition,. the.story. time.section.allows.students.to.become.acquainted.with.the.stories.of.the.Bible.and.to.identify.with.the.main.characters..The.story.time.section.presents.the.story.of.creation.in.accordance.with.the.religion.studies.book.used.in.first.grade..

Projects:There.is.a.suggested.project.in.each.of.the.units..Projects.give.

students.the.opportunity.to.be.creative,. to.share. ideas.with.their.peers.and.to.linguistically.and.socially.interact.with.others..Working.with.projects.means. that.students.have. to.search. for. information.about.a.specific.topic.and.solve.a.task..According.to.“task-based.learning”.real-ness.should.be.located.in.outcomes..In.other.words.tasks.should.be.designed.to.bring.the.classroom.and.real.life.closer..Learners..work.together.to.do.things.like.solve.a.problem,.interpret..and. follow. . instructions. in. a. recipe,. play. a. game. or. share. and.compare.experiences.(Willis,1996)..It. is.also.a.good.time.to.make.students.practise.different.values,. such.as.being.cooperative.and.respectful.towards.their.classmates..Projects.also.allow.the.teacher.to.introduce.students.to.the.concept.of.service..Students.should.be.able. to.help.each.other.during.the.task..They.must.be.conscious.that.helping.others.is.very.important,.following.Jesus’.example.when.He.was.living.among.human.beings.
