Starting with a butterfly, each successive animal sneezes louder until the elephant blows away the jungle.
Lizard says “bless you, butterfly”. The next day in the jungle there’s a not-so-little sneeze. It’s Lizard, of course, and Parrot says bless you.
Then it’s Parrot’s turn, and Parrot sneezes a big sneeze. The sneeze chain goes all the way to Elephant (with the sneezes getting bigger each time), who says after his ginormous sneeze “Bless me, I’ve blown away the jungle!
GET READY TO SNEEZE!
LANGUAGE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT FOR YOUNG CHILDREN
- Young children need to feel secure and know that there is some obvious reason for using English.
- Activities need to be linked to some interesting everyday activities about which they already know, eg sharing an English picture book, saying a rhyme in English, having an ‘English’ snack.
- Activities are accompanied by adult language giving a running commentary about what is going on and dialogues using adjusted parentese language.
- English sessions are fun and interesting, concentrating on concepts children have already understood in their home language. In this way children are not learning two things, a new concept as well as new language, but merely learning the English to talk about something they already know.
- Activities are backed up by specific objects, where possible, as this helps understanding and increases general interest.
