BABY ENGLISH, REALLY??!! Karen Muckey – The English Business, Sevilla

LET’S DISCUSS! What are the arguments for and against starting to teach English to children as young as 4 months? Why should we wait? What could be the benefits of starting young? What would be the most difficult challenge of teaching babies in your opinion? What does it take to be a good baby teacher? Is teaching babies for everybody?

STRUCTURING BABY CLASSES Classes are given at a nursery school in the morning hours as part of the school’s curriculum 30 minute classes 2 days/week or 4 days/week 3 different groups –4 months to 1 year –1 year olds –2 year olds

THE ESSENTIALS A PUPPET MUSIC (lots and lots of it!) FLASHCARDS AND VISUALS (Infantil Pack) STORY BOOKS

BABY BABIES 4 MONTHS TO 1 YEAR SEAT ALL BABIES IN STROLLERS, HIGH CHAIRS OR HAMMOCKS, FACING THE TEACHER PREPARE TO SWEAT! CLASSES MUST BE DYNAMIC AND MOVE QUICKLY TEACHERS SHOULD MAKE EYE CONTACT WITH BABIES AND MOVE AROUND THE ROOM HAVING THE NURSERY SCHOOL TEACHER IN THE ROOM HELPS WITH THIS AGE

BABIES 1 YEAR OLDS MOST CAN SIT ON THE FLOOR (“INQUIETOS” IN HIGH CHAIRS) THIS AGE CAN BE THE MOST CHALLENGING AS THE YEAR PROGRESSES THEY CAN DO MORE – REPEATING, DOING THE MOTIONS TO THE SONGS, PARTICIPATING IN THE MORE ACTIVE SONGS AND ACTIVITIES

BIG BABIES 2 YEAR OLDS ALL CHILDREN SHOULD BE SEATED ON FLOOR OR IN CHAIRS THIS IS THE YEAR WHERE WE SEE PRODUCTION NOT JUST REPETITION PARTICIPATION IS MUCH MORE ACTIVE EASIER FOR THE TEACHER!

TRAINING BABIES TO BEHAVE Learn their names as quickly as possible How they are seated is important for control Eye contact Teacher attitude – happy and fun! Use sounds to call attention Use chants to get them quiet or seated Stop unwanted behaviour as soon as it starts Do not continue the class until unwanted behaviour has completly ended Seat a child next to you in a chair or put them in a high chair if unwanted behaviour continues Make classes dynamic and fun!

WHY DO IT??? LEARNING AND ASSIMILATING ENGLISH COMES MUCH MORE EASILY AT A LATER AGE (FACILIDAD Y NATURALIDAD) SPEAKING IS THE EASY PART OF ENGLISH FOR THE CHILDREN EXCELLENT PRONUNCIATION EXCELLENT UNDERSTANDING OF SPOKEN ENGLISH THEY LEARN TO LOVE ENGLISH!!!! THE ACADEMY BENEFITS TOO!

MY BABY - DAHLIA She loves the pictures! She loves the puppet! She knows ALL the songs and sings constantly! She never gets tired of the music or the class She sings in English, Spanish and even in other languages

THANK YOU!
