Dramatic Retelling

• Usually only relevant for older students or smaller classes of

younger ones.

• Have them act out a story book or a story that you have

made up in PPT.

• Give them copies of the script on paper and call for dramatic

voice rather than memorized script.

Dramatic Retelling

Phonics & Sight Words.

(i) Alphabet Short Vowel Long Vowel Double Consonants

Double Letter Vowels. NOTE: BE SYSTEMATIC WITH THESE.

(ii) Sight Words 200-300 common words that make up 75% of all words that appear in children’s stories.

(iii) Fluency is important so repeated reading and repeated practice is needed.

Vocabulary Instruction

(i) Many words are learnt naturally through repetition in a variety of contexts, so

NOT every word needs to be taught by teacher.

(ii) Use word lists and word cards. It’s very simple- English on one side & Korean

on the other. This is a very efficient way.

(iii) Sight words 1st (200-300), then work on first 1000 words, then 2000.

Vocabulary Instruction

Need:1.Paper with words2.Coating machine3.Ring and punch

Ss Practice turning over cards & memo-rise translation on the back of card.
