2. In my point of view it is
important to use song and
stories in the preschool
class.
3. The incredible benefits of teaching English with Songs
The songs help learn vocabulary, grammar and syntax because the children hear
whole sentences and absorb grammar and syntax subconsciously. It's an easy way
for them to learn and remember words and phrases.
Children hear vocabulary and phrases in a natural context and no longer as
isolated words or sentences.
A song is catchy and fun and the children will be happy hearing it many times .
When using songs for children that are performed by native speakers, they hear
the natural rhythms and stresses of English and this helps their pronunciation and
speaking fluency.
4. Teaching English with Stories in the Preschool class
When the teacher tell a story she should to be creative (for example make animal sounds,
change her voice, sing little songs, use gestures…).
Before to use a story in the preschool class, it is beneficial to teach the students the key
vocabulary words to help them follow the story.
The children will not just learn the words, they will immediately see how the words are used
and hear them in context of the language. This is so much more beneficial to the students
than simply memorizing a list of words.
5. In conclusion children are more likely to be
curious when presented with music, games
and total physical response activities, and
therefore they are more likely to learn and
retain knowledge.
