Make it into a game. Games and problem-solving activities have a purpose
beyond the production of correct speech, and are examples of the most preferable communicative activities. They go on to explain that grammar games help children not only gain knowledge but be able to apply and use that learning. Additionally, - 23 - games have the advantage of allowing the students to practice and internalize vocabulary, grammar and structures extensively [10.247]. They can do this through repeated exposure to the target grammar and because students are often more motivated to play games than they are to do deskwork. Plus, during the game, the students are focused on the activity and end up absorbing the grammar subconsciously. While games are motivating for the students, probably the best reason, to use games is that the use of such activities both increases the cooperation and competition in the classroom [11.64]. Indeed games can be used to add excitement through competition or to create bonding between the students, and between the students and teacher. Learning a language requires constant effort and that can be tiring, but there are two good reasons why games should be included in the classroom: · Games that are amusing and challenging are highly motivating. · Games allow meaningful use of the language in context. Using songs. Since the meaning is an important device in teaching grammar, it is important to contextualize any grammar point. Songs are one of the most enchanting and culturally rich resources that can easily be used in language classrooms [12.84]. Songs offer a change from routine classroom activities. They are precious resources to develop students' abilities in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. They can also be used to teach a variety of language items such as sentence patterns, vocabulary, pronunciation, rhythm, adjectives, and adverbs. There are many advantages of using songs in the classroom. Through using contemporary popular songs, especially which are already familiar to children, the teacher can meet the challenges of the children needs in the classroom. The best songs would be those that are either familiar to the children or those, though maybe not familiar, which have an international nature. Since there is not a strict teaching procedure, the teacher can mainly concentrate on what to teach rather than on how to teach. In order to make the songs more meaningful and more enjoyable, motions can be added to the song which parallel the words of the song. - 24 - Since most children enjoy singing fun and nonsensical lyrics, using easy children songs will be useful. Furthermore, choosing lively action songs through which they can dance or act while singing will ensure a lively atmosphere [10.51]. 5-7 years old, children are not able to store the material in a long period. That is why lesson should not take more than 30-35 minutes. In addition, we should change activities. The children quickly get tired of the same type of activities. It is recommend changing the type of activity every 10-20 minutes. For example: the first 15 minutes, see a cartoon, then 10 minutes to discuss it, and then 15 minutes of reading a story, during the next 10 minutes, the child may try to retell what he read. [3.27] There are some examples of activities for young leaners: listening stories, speaking (telling stories), reading, writing, whole class work, group work, pair work, dialogues, work with stickers and pictures, playing games, doing exercises, puzzles, singing songs, listening, learning songs, painting, drawing, watching cartoons. For example we can explane this topic in this simple way: The definite article "the" can be used before both singular and plural nouns. We say example "the box", "the boxes" and show pictures with one box or many boxes and explane that it can be one or more boxes. The indefinite articles "a" we use before a consonant sound, "an" before a vowel sound. We say example and show picture with one box use finger to show that it is one box, "a box" or "an apple". Even this information can be difficult for young leaners that is why toys or we shoud use interesting colored pictures. |
