RI616100128PA 001-02424-10-201013:05Pagina 2Primary TimesLearning Through SongsJoanna CarterMost, if not all children love music and songs.Music forms an intrinsic part of their lives from a very early age. During their nursery years, children singsongs with their parents to help them learn about the world around them as well as their own mothertongue. Later they have exposure to music and songs in all aspects of their lives – through family, television,radio and their lessons at school.They enjoy songs because they can identify with them, even when songs are in a foreign language.The value of songsThe enjoyment factor is always an extremely important reason to use something in the English languageclassroom, but there are other invaluable motives that make music, rhythm, rhyme and songs an essentialpart of language learning for young children.The structure and rhythm of a song makes it much easier to follow, to imitate and to reproduce language.Vocabulary is easier to remember because there are often rhyming words at the end of lines. There issometimes a simple storyline, which helps put vocabulary into a relevant context. Songs help reinforcelanguage structures because they are full of repetition, so the children have the opportunity to hear wordsand sentences again and again in a meaningful way.When to use songsThere are many moments throughout a lesson when a song can be used as a useful learning tool. Whenstarting a lesson, the teacher can ask the pupils to sing a song to show that the subject is changing toEnglish. This has become increasingly important recently, as in many schools the English language teacheralso teaches other curricular subjects.Alternatively, the teacher can use a song at the end of a lesson to round off the lesson and practice what thechildren have learnt.Another appropriate moment to use a song is during revision of vocabulary or even to introduce newwords, as a change from using flashcards or other visual stimuli. The popular song Head, shoulders, kneesand toes is ideal for this, as the children have to point to parts of the body. In subsequent lessons, if thechildren forget the vocabulary, it is often enough to just hum the tune to refresh their memories.Intonation, punctuation and pronunciation are often accentuated in a song, so they can be used to helpchildren to internalise the sounds of English.Songs can be linked to topics that are being covered - there are plenty of English songs about the weather,animals or parts of the body, for example.Songs for festivitiesSongs are a great way to introduce and illustrate festivities celebrated in the English speaking world, andcan help practice more specialised vocabulary. Lessons about festivals and traditions often involve craftactivities and making things.Why not play an associated song in the background while children work? It is surprising how much childrenlearn passively and background music has a calming, relaxing effect.When the teacher teaches the children a new song or rhyme, it is always better that the teacher sings alongwith the children as this helps the children build up their confidence and helps create a sense of group/classidentity. Once the children are familiar with a song, the teacher can give different parts to small groups. Thisis a very useful technique in big classes and also helps develop listening skills and team work.Joanna Carter teaches both children and adults in a private language school in Milan. She is a long experiencedteacher trainer.2

RI616100128PA 001-02424-10-201013:05Pagina 3Supplementary Teaching MaterialsMost teachers use supplementary teaching materials during the school year. Some spend time photocopyingworksheets which are then distributed in class, while others ask their pupils to buy extra books that can be usedthroughout the school year.The choice of supplementary books is made by the teacher based on the needs of a particular group of childrenand on the type of methodology used by the teacher in the class. If a teacher wants to give the children morereading practice, for example, a reader will probably be recommended.What supplementary learning materials are available for the children?Here are some observations on the LANG-Longman supplementary materials in our catalogue:New SkipperTeachers in the fourth and especially in the fifth class of Primary school will find NewSkipper a very useful book indeed! New Skipper is specifically designed to bring togetherthe language items and grammar taught in the Primary school in exercises similar to thosethe children will be asked to complete when they begin English language lessons in theSecondary school, where approaches to teaching differ from those used in Primaryeducation. The different teaching methodology takes into account the increased maturityand autonomy of the children as language learners. New Skipper functions as a bridgebetween Primary and Secondary education and can be used either as a summer practicebook or as a language revision book throughout the school year.Grammar NavigatorGrammar Navigator is a grammar guide and includes all the language items and grammarcovered by text books designed for the Primary school. This guide can be used by childrenfrom the second to the fifth year of the Primary school. Each section opens with anexplanation in Italian of the uses of a grammar item and includes common errors andexceptions. Stimulating language exercises follow, when the children are motivated toshow that they have understood the explanations. The answers to all the exercises areincluded at the end of the book.Let’s Sing!Teachers who enjoy teaching songs and children whoenjoy singing them will find Let’s Sing! an invaluablecollection of folk and traditional songs. The songs, from England, the UnitedStates, Ireland and Scotland, have been specifically adapted for use in thePrimary classroom. The lyrics of many of the songs have been simplified forthe children. Words that are not generally included in Primary text bookshave been highlighted and are included in an English/Italian glossary at theend of the book. The songs are accompanied by worksheets with activitiesbased on the lyrics of the songs. The audio CD reproduces the songs in twoformats; a version sung by children and an mp3 file with the instrumental version (the mp3files can also be downloaded from our web site).Sing Along!Sing Along! is an ideal supplementary materials source for children who enjoy integratingsong and physical movement. For the children, a Video Companion Book which includeslanguage exercises based on the lyrics of the songs, and for the teacher a pack whichincludes a copy of the Video Companion Book, a VHS videocassette and an audiocassette. The VHS includes the sung versions of the songs as well as karaoke versions.The songs have been filmed integrating cartoons with film of children singing and doingactions associated with the music. In this way the children in class are able to watch otherchildren and then sing the songs themselves copying the actions.3

RI616100128PA 001-02424-10-201013:06Pagina 6Primary TimesA Phonetic Lesson for Christmas?Roberta Calboli & Paola PasiniTeaching and learning pronunciation can be fun!Primary teachers often think that pronunciation exercises are boring and difficult; the aim of this article is todemonstrate that this is not always the case. At Christmas, for instance, it is possible to plan a reallymotivating pronunciation lesson using the traditional carol Silent Night.Step 1: Listen/Read and colour the clothes.Explain to the children that in the days leading up to Christmas, children and adults gather to play and singthe songs people associate with Christmas. These songs are called carols.Photocopy and distribute Worksheet 1 (page 8) in class. This activity can be used to revise the lexis ofclothes and ordinal numbers. Possible exercise instructions are:Listen and colour the clothes. (teachers dictate the sentences)Read and colour the clothes. (the children read the following sentences on the blackboard) The first child on the left is wearing a black coat, a purple scarf and grey gloves. The second child is wearing a brown jacket, an orange cap and yellow trousers. The third child is wearing a pink hat, a red jacket and a dark green skirt. The fourth child is wearing blue jeans and green boots. The fifth child is wearing a grey coat and red gloves. The sixth child is wearing a light blue jacket, a brown belt and purple shoes.Ask the children to say sentences using the information on their worksheet.Step 2: Listen/Read and colour the books.Teachers can decide to dictate (Listen and colour the books), or to write the following instructions on theblackboard (Read and colour the books): The first child on the left has got an orange book. The third child has got a light blue book. The fifth child has got a green book. The sixth child has got a pink book.Check the colours the children have used.Step 3: Listen and sing.Ask the pupils to listen carefully to the carol Silent Night several times and then ask them to sing along (youcan sing it or look for an mp3 version of the song on the Internet).Say the sound /ai/ to the children and ask them to find words in the carol that include this sound.Ask the children to find other words that contain the same sounds.Together with the children, focus on the four main sounds in the song (/h/, /ai/, /i:/, /I/).6

RI616100128PA 001-02424-10-201013:06Pagina 7Step 4: Read, find and colour.Photocopy and distribute Worksheet 2 (page 8). Depending on the linguistic competence of the children,organize the task in different steps. Children can focus on a single sound or on two or more. Working inpairs, let them find the same sound/sounds in different words. To help children recognise the first sound inthe written text (it could be the /ai/ or /h/ sound) the pupils have to use the same colours they used to colourthe books in Worksheet 1: /h/ sound orange;/ai/ sound light blue;/i:/ sound green;/I/ sound pink.Get the children to colour all the words with these sounds.It is also important that pupils learn that in the English language the same sound can be written usingdifferent letters, i.e. /ai/ sound: “i” (silent), “y”, (fly), “igh” (night), “ye”(bye), “ie” (tie).Remind the students that the opposite is also true; the same letter can be pronounced in different ways,i.e. “i” in infant /I/ sound, “i” in child /ai/ sound.Check the completed worksheets and/or colour the words on the blackboard.The correct combination of colours is:SILENT NIGHTSilent night, holy night,all is calm, all is bright.Round yon Virgin Mother and childHoly infant so tender and mild,Sleep in heavenly peace,Sleep in heavenly peace.Step 5: Write the words in the right space.Photocopy and distribute Worksheet 3 (page 8). Children have to copy the words they have coloured in theappropriate spaces according to each phonetic symbol.Check the words in the spaces.Invite the children to sing the carol again reading the words from their completed Worksheet 2. Thestudents’ pronunciation should have improved a lot!Roberta Calboli has been teaching English to young learners for many years.
