Hooray! Let’s play! è il nuovissimo corso in tre livelli per
bambini dai 3 ai 5 anni firmato dagli autori di fama mondiale Herbert puchta e günter gerngross. Il corso, divertente
e innovativo, permette di insegnare l’inglese ai più piccoli in
modo stimolante ed efficace.
Hooray! Let’s play! si basa su un approccio multisensoriale
che mira a sviluppare le capacità cognitive dei bambini e
offre coinvolgenti storie value-based, che favoriscono lo
sviluppo delle competenze sociali.
ogni componente del corso è disponibile in inglese britannico e americano.
• favorisce l’apprendimento multisensoriale attraverso una varietà di giochi, storie, action stories e canzoni;
• è divertente e semplice da utilizzare, poiché consente ai bambini di apprendere in maniera naturale stimolando i processi di memorizzazione;
• incontra le esigenze di ogni classe grazie ad una combinazione unica di materiali didattici: libri, DVD, Audio CD, DVD-ROM, story cards, flashcards e un simpatico hand puppet;
• presenta quattro irresistibili personaggi – il panda peter, il coniglio rosie, il coccodrillo Connie
e la tartaruga Tom – figure che divengono subito familiari per i bambini contribuendo a creare un’atmosfera positiva e favorevole all’apprendimento.
Il Teacher’s Book offre semplici suggerimenti passo per passo su come insegnare agli studenti più piccoli.
Una chiara introduzione fornisce una breve panoramica sui r isul tat i del le r icerche nell’ambito della psicologia cognitiva riguardo all’apprendimento precoce delle lingue.
Il Teacher’s Book è stato scritto con la collaborazione di docenti di lunga esperienza e tutte le attività sono state ideate e perfezionate per un utilizzo ottimale in classe.
Il Teacher’s Book fornisce una varietà di idee per i giochi e una serie di suggerimenti pratici. Contiene 2 Audio CD (con tutte le canzoni, i chants, le storie, le action stories e attività di ascolto), un DVD-ROM con una lettera editabile per ogni unità rivolta ai genitori, Worksheets fotocopiabili per le lezioni extra, più un Teacher Training Video.
Le attività sono descritte sul retro di ogni Worksheet insieme ai testi delle canzoni e ai contenuti audio collegati, per garantire un’agile gestione della lezione e rendere partecipi i genitori dei progressi compiuti dai bambini.
Il coloratissimo student’s Book è suddiviso in sei unità. Ogni unità si articola a sua volta in sei Worksheets da staccare, il cui ordine, per garantire il miglior ritmo di apprendimento, è rigorosamente strutturato come segue:
• chant;• TPR (Total Physical Response) action stories;• song;• story/story song;• listening comprehension;• thinking skills.
I Worksheets consentono di rafforzare le capacità cognitive e motorie dei bambini attraverso una serie di attività, quali, ad esempio, colorare, ricalcare, disegnare, abbinare, suddividere, ecc. Ci sono anche pagine dedicate a festività e celebrazioni (compleanni e altre occasioni speciali), più un Audio CD con le versioni complete di chants e canzoni.
Il Teacher Training Video illustra efficaci modalità per insegnare l’inglese ai bambini che frequentano la scuola dell’infanzia o le scuole private di lingue.
Nel video, l’autore Herbert Puchta interagisce con vari gruppi di studenti che provengono da scuole diverse.
Sono inoltre presenti brevi video che spiegano come utilizzare le Tpr action stories e le canzoni attraverso il mimo e la recitazione.
Il Teacher Training Video, ideale da affiancare al Teacher’s Book, offre una serie di suggerimenti pratici per trarre il massimo dalle lezioni.
Il Libro per Lavagne Interattive, uno per ciascun livello, consente agli insegnanti di accedere facilmente ai materiali multimediali che corredano il libro.
I docenti possono presentare le lezioni sul grande schermo in maniera interattiva, ascoltando storie e canzoni.
Il Libro per Lavagne Interattive contiene un dettagliato video tutorial con le indicazioni per l’utilizzo.
Coinvolgenti cartoni animati favoriscono l’identificazione e stimolano i bambini ad apprendere e ricordare parole chiave e frasi, grazie ai loro beniamini.
Story Cards, Audio CD e Worksheets corredano i cartoni per creare un’esperienza di apprendimento unica.

teachiNg totS ‘toolS For the miND’Melanie Butler asks author Herbert puchta about the benefits to preschoolers of being taught a foreign language and the most effective methodologies to use with toddlers
you’ve never been one to fear controversy, and here you are launching a new series Hooray! Let’s Play! for preschool kids when some people in northern Europe are questioning the advisability of getting this age group to learn a foreign language at all.
When I look at the majority of concepts and materials for teaching English at kindergarten level, I’m not surprised that some people are sceptical. I’m referring here to behaviouristic learning models galore, stories that are nothing else but vehicles for getting language across to the child (and hence don’t deserve to be called stories) and not infrequently classroom situations where four- and five-year-olds are tormented with tracing and copying English words – although they haven’t reached literacy in their mother tongue yet!
What do you think preschool kids can get from learning a second language?
It all depends on the teaching approach. If the goal of teaching very young learners is self-directed learning rather than trying to entertain them through an attention-grabbing approach, then children will learn a great deal of language and at the same time learn about the world – by learning to understand meaningful stories, to give one example. To name another, their pronunciation will get very close to the models they enjoy imitating. And there is a lot more: learning a second language can contribute significantly to the development of children’s cognitive tools. In the same way as physical tools extend what we can do with our hands, tools for the mind extend children’s cognitive capabilities. Without them, children will not be able to pay attention, will have poor memory skills, and will not be able to engage in abstract thinking. All that can be developed at the same time as children’s foreign language skills.
The series is co-authored with günter gerngross – someone you have co-written with for years. What do you think is the secret of a great authoring partnership?
For me the secret is not a secret really – it’s all about synergy, and I’ve been fortunate enough to work with excellent co-authors on all my projects. Günter and I go back many years – we started out more than thirty years ago doing various classroom research projects together. I remember opportunities galore for watching each other
teach, and then discussing for two or three hours a single lesson one of us had given. That, and the regular in-depth interviews we carried out with the students of those classes, have helped us to get a rather profound understanding of how young learners and teenagers tick. Another area of strength is our expertise in creating imaginative stories together. Very young learners need stories that fulfil certain criteria, as Kieran Egan so convincingly shows in Teaching as Story Telling. The child’s brain is ‘wired for story’, and stories are another key source for cognitive development.
one of the methodologies you use is Total physical response (Tpr). Why did you choose it and how easy is it to fit in with more conventional approaches for teaching this age group?
For me, TPR is not an unconventional method when it comes to teaching the very young. In fact I believe it gets very close to how they learn language in the first place. However, TPR is often understood – wrongly – as a method where learners simply imitate the teacher’s actions and instructions. In other words, the teacher gives instructions and models sentences such as Stand up; Walk forward; Jump; Touch the door; etc. And many teachers believe the objective of TPR is for students to be able to finally carry out those instructions on their own, without the teacher
giving them a model of the actions. Well it is, of course – but that’s only part of the learning. What seems to have been forgotten is that when James Asher developed the method he stressed the importance of what he called ‘novel’ instructions, in other words instructions students have never heard before, such as in the case of the sentences above, a new instruction like Jump to the door. Remember that the students have learnt Jump and Touch the door, but never a combination of the two. Watching a four-year-old decoding the meaning of that sentence and seeing them understand the new instruction and carrying it out is one of the most rewarding teaching experiences I have come across. And, taking seriously what neuro-biologists tell us, this is how the brain’s own reward system kicks into action. And if that is not a clear and positive answer to whether it makes sense to teach English to very young learners, I don’t know what would be!
I am fascinated by the approaches you use to vocabulary teaching. Educational psychologists say that vocabulary is the single hardest thing to overtly teach to this age group, even in their mother tongue. What do you think is the key thing about teaching new words to very young kids?
It’s fascinating that people learn finger rhymes as three-year-olds that they still remember when they are 103, without practising them at all for the greater part of their lives! That is because nursery rhymes are learnt in an atmosphere of love, and in a multi-sensory way, and hence get remembered because strong neural networks get formed. It was more than twenty years ago when Günter Gerngross and I started experimenting with multi-sensory vocabulary teaching techniques. The approach we have developed consists of a well-balanced mix of mime, the use of auditory sub-modalities [volume, tempo, pitch, etc.], visualisation techniques and lip-reading, among other things. This may sound very complex, but as everyone can see on the Hooray! Let’s Play! Teacher Training Video clips (that can also be found
on YouTube) the techniques we recommend are fun for the children and at the same time
lead to an amazing long-term memory retention of lexis.

In mezzo al mare, molto molto lontano, c’è un’isola blu. Su quest’isola tutto è di colore blu: le case, i campi, gli alberi e persino le farfalle. Un giorno, passato il temporale, Jay trova sulla spiaggia una scatola di legno. La scatola è piena di semi e Jay, insieme ai suoi genitori, decide di piantarli in giardino. Quando i semi cresceranno, sveleranno una fantastica sorpresa a Jay e alla sua famiglia.
Oggi una bambina festeggia il suo compleanno. Chiude gli occhi, soffia le candeline sulla torta ed esprime un desiderio. All’improvviso iniziano a succedere delle cose stranissime, ma mamma e papà non si accorgono di nulla. Riuscirà la piccola a convincere i genitori di non essersi inventata tutto? E cosa succederà al tramonto?

È estate e fa caldissimo. L’albero in cima alla collina è assetato. Le foglie si stanno seccando e non c’è acqua da bere. Finché non compare Cloudbreak, l’uccellino.Riuscirà a trovare l’acqua per l’albero?

Riusciranno i due a trovare un modo per rendere tutti felici?
