  1. THE JUNIOR COURSESTUDENT’S BOOK LET’S LOOK AT A COMPLETE JUNIOR COURSE UNIT

  2. A lively song introduces the unit theme and related language. Students use language in context. A sticker activity engages students’ tactile and kinesthetic learning modes.

  3. Language in the Real World engages students in meaningful communication. Target vocabulary and grammar are presented in a real-world context.

  4. Grammar is presented in a chart as modelled language. Students practice grammar in communicative “chunks”.

  5. Students listen for the main idea and details in varied listening activities. A chant reinforces key vocabulary and structures while providing practice in stress, rhythm, and intonation. Icon shows when to use the new Sound + Spelling Handbook.

  6. A citizenship lesson related to the theme gives students a chance to apply the language they’ve learned. Projects reinforce content and language and allow students to personalize their learning.

  7. At the end of the unit, students have a chance to show what they have learned. Students tick the star to acknowledge their progress in English.

  8. Little Books can be read in class and shared at home.

  9. JUNIOR COURSE CLASS DEMONSTRATION 1 ) Read the lesson and analyze the materials. 2 ) Write down a plan for the class. • Divide the class into as many parts as there are members in your group, and decide who will be responsible for teaching each part. • When your turn comes, teach this class to another group, as if it were a real class.

  10. PHONICS WHY DO WE TEACH IT? And think of GOOSE and yet of CHOOSE Think of COMB and TOMB and BOMB DOLL and ROLL and HOME and SOME And since PAY is rhymed with SAY Why not PAID with SAID I pray? Think of BLOOD and FOOD and GOOD; MOULD is not pronounced like COULD. Why is DONE, but GONE and LONE Is there any reason known? To sum it up, it seems to me That sounds and letters don’t agree. When the English tongue we speak Why is BREAK not rhymed with WEAK? Won’t you tell me why it’s true We say SEW, but also FEW? And the maker of a verse Cannot rhyme his HORSE with WORSE? BEARD is not the same as HEARD CORD is different from WORD COW is COW, but LOW is LOW SHOE is never rhymed with FOE Think of HOSE and DOSE and LOSE

  11. PHONICS PROGRAM What is Phonics? Why do we teach Phonics? • Introduce ONE sound per class • Link sounds to a picture (context) • Teach: * Name of the letter ( ex: “s” =/ess/) * Sound of the letter ( ex: / sss / ) * A word with the letter ( ex: six ) • Objective is to introduce the sound, not the word • Pronunciation must be perfect!!! • Be clear and accurate • American or British English? • Exaggerate the sounds!

  12. PHONICS A PHONICS A + JUNIOR 1 – 80 LESSONS Classification of consonants: consonants in PHONICS A are classified by Manner of Articulation – order which is biologically easier for a child to pronounce a sound. PLOSIVES (sounds that explode): P – B – T – D – K – C – G FRICATIVES (sounds made by friction): F – V – S – Z NASALS: M – N RETROFLEX: R LATERAL: L AFFRICATES (explosion and friction): G – J SEMI-VOWELS (sound of vowels): W – Y Others: H – X

  13. PHONICS A PHONICS A + JUNIOR 1 – 80 LESSONS A Short sound: apple Long sound: ape • Classification of vowels: • Short vowels – Phonics A • Long vowels – Phonics B • Examples of short vowels – Phonics A: • Letter A - / æ / - apple, cat, hat • Letter E - / e / - egg, ten, pen • Letter I - / ɪ / - igloo, in, image • Letter O - / ⍺ / - on, off, octopus • Letter U - / ʌ / - under, ugly, up E Short sound: elephant Long sound: even I Short sound: igloo Long sound: idea O Short sound: octopus Long sound: open U Short sound: umbrella Long sound: universe

  14. PHONICS B PHONICS B + JUNIOR 2 – 80 LESSONS Classification of vowels: 5 vowels and 20 different sounds FRONT VOWEL SOUNDS: / i: / - feel, sea / ɪ / - ship, trip / eɪ / - pain, page CENTRAL VOWEL SOUNDS: /  / - problem, method / ɒ / - hot, stop. calm / ʌ / - cut, country / З: / - bird, fur BACK VOWEL SOUNDS: / u: / - June, food / Ʊ / - book, cookie /Ʊ/ - home, coast Classification of compound Consonants: FRICATIVES (made by friction): SH – TH – S AFFRICATES (explosion and friction): CH NASALS: NG

  15. PHONICS PROGRAM LET’S SEE A PHONICS LESSON! • LESSON 6 Letter D - / d / ( Stops or Plosive ) • Start the class by reviewing letters B and P from last class. Bring the flashcards to class and ask the children for the sound and a word that begins with it. • Pronunciation: this letter is difficult to be pronounced correctly, because it is a sound that doesn’t exist in the Portuguese language. When you say a word in Portuguese beginning with D, usually the sound becomes “DG”. In English, the sound of letter D in obtained by making the tip of your tongue touch the upper part on your mouth right behind your upper teeth. It is an explosive, but soft sound. Exaggerate the sound so that the children can see and hear it clearly. Ask them to repeat after you. The more ridiculous your exaggeration is, the more fun the children will have trying to imitate you. • Show them a word beginning with D and ask them if they know any others. Repeat the word. Ask the students to help you find more words beginning with D. • Phonics A & B Teacher’s Manual – page 22

  16. PHONICS PROGRAM The Sound and Spelling lessons teach recognition and production of specific sounds in English (Levels 1-3 only).

  26. AVOIDING DISCIPLINE PROBLEMS IN CLASS Children usually misbehave for three main reasons: • Lack of interest – students are either bored OR tired (the activity is too easy or too difficult) • There are no clear limits determined – students are unclear how to behave • The teacher is not firm enough – student’s do not respect teacher.

  27. AVOIDING DISCIPLINE PROBLEMS IN CLASS TIPS TO HELP YOU AVOID DISCIPLINE PROBLEMS IN CLASS Be specific – say specifically, not generally, what’s wrong or what you want them to do. DON’T SAYSAY Please, stop this mess. Please, stop jumping on the chairs. Be consistent, establish limits – a rule that has been determined must be respected at all times. “NO” means NO”, even if the students react negatively. If you give in to their pressure once, they won’t respect you. DON’T SAYSAY You can’t go out by yourself. I know you want to go outside by Ok, ok, only today… yourself, but I’m sorry, you cannot.

  28. AVOIDING DISCIPLINE PROBLEMS IN CLASS TIPS TO HELP YOU AVOID DISCIPLINE PROBLEMS IN CLASS Keep yourself out of it – keep in mind that they students are not behaving badly because they want to personally make you feel bad. It has nothing to do with you. Explain WHY limits are needed and write CLASSROOM RULES – the older the students are, the more effective this is. Explain WHY the can’t something. If they are old enough, have them write down the CLASSROOM RULES with what they can or can’t do.

  29. AVOIDING DISCIPLINE PROBLEMS IN CLASS TIPS TO HELP YOU AVOID DISCIPLINE PROBLEMS IN CLASS Control your emotions – the only thing you can NEVER do in a classroom is loose your temper. Always keep in mind that nothing is personal. If you feel like you are about to “loose it”, take a deep breath, concentrate, and try to show the students that you have the situation under control. They can’t notice that you don’t know what to do. Children are very smart!
