Description
Summary:SUMMARY MY FIRST ENGLISH BOOK; I Learn English in my School : A textbook for students of seventh year of Elementary School, has been created to help children from Mariscal de Ayacucho Antonio José de Sucre, who come from low-income families. The book is based on two methodologies, The Natural Approach and Total Physical Response, and the Theory of Multiple Intelligences. With the first one, students use the target language from the earliest communicative activities, such as role plays, group work, and games, among others. With the second one, students respond to instructions by performing physical actions. The Multiple Intelligences Theory is focused on students abilities, which are classified into eight intelligences; Verbal-linguistic, Logical-Mathematical, Musical, Bodly-Kinesthetic, Spatial-Visual, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, and Naturalistic. The book was developed according to students needs and ages. It contains eight units and an introductory unit. The units consist of different activities to be performed by students in a determined period of time. During the application of the book, the children learned to use English greetings, to answer basic questions, to identify and describe pictures, to introduce themselves, to read short stories, to perform instructions, to sing songs, to practice dialogues, to make handiworks, and other activities. Finally, the activities of the book were simple and the children performed them without any problem.
