Introduction – analysis

The first week, had two aims, first: making the children enthousiastic for the English lessons and second: making an analysis from the actual level of the skills from the children and the learning skill.

The part for making the children enthousiastic was necessary, there was a lot of energy (excitement) and the fact that I am a foreigner not speaking fluently the Turkish language, some children were a little afraid. I wanted to take away the fear and use this energy to make this lesson a lesson where they can express themselves and feel natural. I used very much action games and where the children can run and dance, so they can use their energy. This is how I want them to give the feeling that they can be comfortable and that there is no threat.

To look for the learning ability, I used words which they didn't know. In a song about crayon, table, book and chair, I tested the learning ability. Further I used words like eye, mouth, hair and noose. Beside that I learned that the 5-6 years old children learned from the former teacher to count till 20 and some knew the days of the week and the months.  

Second week (8^th September)

After the first week I finished the analysis for the 5 and 6 year old, I worked with groups that have about the same learning ability. The used strategy is to learn in the first place words and after that the sentences. To learn a language works the best to start close to the reality of the child. So the subject starts with mother, father, sister and brother. The children will be confronted with the new words this week in a different way, games including music, dancing, running and variations of memory- and whispering games were applied. Three days a week the program finishes with color picture.

Third week (15^th September)

The third week grandfather, grandmother, house, door, window, tree and sun are added as new words. Other new words like were added “appointing” words like “this” and “that”.  Besides that with dolls the first dialogs were played. “Hello, how are you?” “I am fine thank you, and how are you?” “I am fine thank you.” Besides the dialog and the new words is rehearsing the words a subject. Important is the high quality of the basics of English, before to start the education form is again including music, dancing, running and variations of memory- and whispering games. 

Fourth week (22^nd September)

The fourth week, the words:  uncle, aunt, cousin (female and male) were learned. They must separate the concepts from father, mother, sister and brother. The children will be confronted with the new words this week in a different ways, games including music, dancing, running and variations of memory- and whispering games were applied. Besides that the sentences are being rehearsed “Hello, how are you?” “I am fine thank you, and how are you?” “I am fine thank you.” Three days a week the program finishes with color picture.

 Program  4 years old start

Together with another teacher who is responsible for the control of the group the 4rd years are given English lessons to. This content started with a song in which they learned “sit down” and “stand up” book, crayon, table and chair. Besides that the children learn the words with family, father, mother brother, sister.
