Olga Tsareva: The geography of a Pre-primary English language classroom

In my talk I am going to focus on the way of making pre-primary classroom more effective and dynamic. My classroom is basically divided into zones connected with “routes”. There are such zones as: finger play zone, circle time zone, calendar zone, nap time zone, tea time zone, craft zone, story time zone and others. The number of zones and their diversity depends on the age of the students, the length of the lesson and the presence or absence of parents. Children always follow the same route. Moving around the classroom or, in my case, classrooms they use the same routine language. This gives them the feeling of security, helps setting boundaries and provides lots of language exposure. My aim is, within one lesson, to recreate as many life situations appropriate for the age of my students as possible. English language classes for toddlers last up to 90 minutes and children never get tired or bored as they do not perceive it as a lesson but rather as a period of their life spent in a different language environment.

- 9. Lessons: Mother and child • Recent research records that parents and the home are the strongest influence on a child’s life. For this important reason parents, and especially mothers, need to be positively involved and their support and enthusiasm can help in much the same way as it did when their child learned L1. (Dunn 2012)
