  1. Jazz Chants (00:25-03:36) Definition: A rhythmic presentation of natural language that links the rhythms of natural spoken American English to the rhythms of traditional American jazz Advantages: Rhythm and intonation (patterns of spoken English), grammar and vocabulary (patterns of everyday conversation), memorization (multiple repetitions), versatile (in classes of any size and with all age groups – and don’t require any special materials) Practice! One, Two, I Like You (00:39) Hi, How Are You? (01:41) Shoes and Socks (02:04)

  2. An innovative way to teach spoken English(03:37-06:57) 3 key points: Must use real language, must use useful language, must be appropriate language Keeping the rhythm is crucial: Four-beat rhythm – 1, 2, 3, 4; first beat is the first stressed word – which is not always the first word of the line (e.g. Do you like it? <clap> Yes I do.) Use common exchanges in everyday talk (e.g. Have a nice weekend. Thanks, you too!) Vocabulary chant: 1. Choose a topic > 2. Write down 10 words that relate to the topic > 3. Separate the words into sounds according to the number of syllables – 1, 2, 3 > 4. Choose three of the words with different numbers of syllables (e.g. ruler, eraser, chair <clap>; purple ruler, pink eraser, yellow chair > animal, food, sports, etc.) Reinforces a grammar point (e.g. I Like It a Lot)

  3. An innovative way to teach spoken English(03:37-06:57) Try it!: Havea nice weekend. Thanks, you too! (04:00) Try it!: 2-3-1 ruler, eraser, chair <clap> (05:36) Try it!: purple ruler, pink eraser, yellow chair (06:07) Try it!: I like it, I like it a lot, I love it (06:30) Make your own!: Food 2-3-1 > Arrange into one-syllable, two syllable, three-syllable groups + add modifiers (e.g. yellow banana)

  4. Finding the rhythm of spoken English(06:58-13:05) Connection between spoken American English and the natural rhythm of jazz: 4-beat rhythm > Beat one is the first stress word; listen for the stress pattern (Hi, how are you? Fine, how are you?) Practice with a partner! (09:20 +10:23 > stress pattern) Rhythm – powerful tool for memory(Hungry Boy) Practice with a partner! (11:21)

  5. Models in the classroom(13:05-19:00) Act out a chant(The Happy Weekend – 13:38) Use chants to practice names of letters(Names – 14:02) S-A-M-A-R-A, How do you pronounce it? (x2), How do you spell it? Now try it with your names! Create vocabulary chants with names of animals (syllables > 2-3-1, rhyming words: Monkey, Elephant, Fox– 17:26)

  6. Models in the classroom(13:05-19:00) Combine old, new vocabulary with action (Monkey Swings– 17:55) Write a grammar chant (I Wish I Had a Crocodile– 18:46) Make an animal chant. Then, turn it into a grammar chant!

  7. Creating and adapting chants with your students(19:01-23:52) Keep your chant simple and short (nothing complicated) Keep it real (Is it authentic, everyday language? Is it appropriate to the age of the students?) Have a focus and purpose (vocabulary, ritual language – e.g. greetings/saying goodbye) Involve your students in creating new chants (personalize > have students create their own lists of their favorite items) Use chants to reinforce learning (other parts of the curriculum)

  8. Creating and adapting chants with your students(19:01-23:52) Practice!: Mosquitos Bite (22:54) Personalize! Jobs Add role playing/gestures! Jobs
