Facilitator’s Guide Grade 1 ~ English First Additional Language

Inleiding vir die fasiliteerder Impaq se benadering tot die Eerste Addisionele Taal in graad 1 Die aanleer van ‘n Eerste Addisionele Taal toon baie ooreenkomste met die aanleer van ‘n Huistaal, maar dit gebeur heelwat later in die leerders se lewe. Die leerders gaan dus deur dieselfde leerprosesse as vir huistaal. Die leerders leer hulle huistaal op ‘n vroeë ouderdom. Dit behels blootstelling aan woordeskat en taalstruktuur in ‘n eenvoudige konteks. Daarna begin kinders in kort sinne praat en gebruik woorde om betekenis te vorm. Die proses vir die aanleer van ‘n addisionele taal is presies dieselfde. Die leerders ontwikkel ‘n woordeskat en begin om eenvoudige sinne te vorm en instruksies uit te voer. Die leerprogram vir die Eerste Addisionele Taal in graad 1 is daarom gefokus op die ontwikkeling van mondelinge taalvaardighede en woordeskat. In graad 1 leer die leerders om in hulle huistaal te lees en skryf. Sodra die leerders hulle lees- en skryfvaardighede in die huistaal bemeester het, begin die lees- en skryfaktiwiteite vir die addisionele taal. Waar die leerders in graad 1 baie tyd bestee aan luister en praat in die addisionele taal, sal hulle in graad 2 en 3 baie meer tyd bestee aan lees en skryf in die addisionele taal.

Luister en praat Eerste Addisionele Taal in graad 1 vereis dat leerders aan die taal blootgestel word en hul woordeskat uitbrei. Die meeste aktiwiteite vir Eerste Addisionele Taal in graad 1 behels luister en praat, waartydens leerders na stories luister, self stories vertel en instruksies uitvoer. Die luister- en praataktiwiteite is temagebonde en behels mondelinge gesprekke, prentbesprekings, gediggies en speletjies.

Lees Leesvaardigheid is ‘n belangrike komponent van die graad 1 huistaalprogram. Die leerders sal in hulle addisionele taal minder fokus op leesvaardigheid, aangesien hulle besig is om leesvaardigheid in die huistaal te bemeester. Die leesprogram vir die addisionele taal behels: • blootstelling aan gedrukte media, bv. padtekens, bekende handelsmerkname en etikette; • gedeelde lees waar die fasiliteerder die storie lees, maar die leerders kyk saam na die prente en blaai saam deur die boek; en • selfstandige lees, waar die leerders lees vir genot en ‘oefen’ om in hulle addisionele taal te lees.

Klanke Net soos in die huistaal, moet die leerders eers leer om geskrewe woorde in klanke te verdeel. Hulle moet dus fonemiese bewustheid ontwikkel en die verwantskap tussen ‘n klank en ‘n letter vorm. Vir die addisionele taal in graad 1 vind hierdie proses eers mondelings plaas, voordat die leerders woorde begin skryf. Dit is belangrik om te onthou dat die leerders reeds in hulle huistaal woorde kan analiseer en klanke kan identifiseer. Leerders sal dus makliker woorde analiseer en klanke herken. Die leerders moet verstaan dat klanke in hulle addisionele taal dieselfde lyk as die huistaal, maar anders klink, bv. b-oo-m = boom, maar in Engels klink die ‘oo’-klank anders, bv. l-oo-k = look.

Facilitator’s Guide Grade 1 ~ English First Additional Language

Woordherkenning is belangrik vir lees en skryf. Sigwoorde is woorde wat gereeld in teks voorkom. Dit word aangeleer deur dit herhaaldelik te sien, later te herken en te lees. Hoe meer sigwoorde leerders lees, hoe makliker sal hulle in die addisionele taal kan lees.

Skryf en handskrif Die program vir die Huistaal maak voorsiening vir die sistematiese aanleer van handskrifvaardighede. Hierdie kennis word in die Eerste Addisionele Taal toegepas. Die leerders sal eenvoudige skrifaktiwiteite voltooi bv. teken, patrone en sekere klanke.

Hoe om die fasiliteerdersgids te gebruik Materiale en hulpbronne en hoe om dit te gebruik Die graad 1-pakket bestaan uit die volgende produkte: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Fasiliteerdersgids Werkboek Die avonture van Ben, Lebo en Hanna. Graad 1, Fase 1: Prentkaarte Leerhulpmiddel Assessering (portefeuljeboek)

Die volgende bykomende hulpbronne word benodig: • • •

Vetkryte en/of uitdraaikryte vir die skryfaktiwiteite. Dit is al waarmee graad 1-leerders skryf. ’n Blank oefenboek vir skryf en teken. Addisionele storieboeke volgens die fasiliteerder se keuse.

Die fasiliteerdersgids Die fasiliteerdersgids bestaan uit 20 leereenhede. Elke leereenheid strek oor twee weke en bestaan uit 10 dae. Elke dag is ingedeel in een of twee taalsessies wat luister en praat, lees en klanke, en skrif en handskrif dek. Verwys na die voorgestelde dagprogram vir die tydindeling van die sessies. Elke sessie word afgesluit met twee inligtingsblokkies – “Konseptualisering” en “Hulpbronne”. Die “konseptualisering”-blokkie bevat ’n kort opsomming oor die konsepte wat vasgelê word, en die “hulpbronne”-blokkie bevat ’n lysie van artikels wat vir die sessie verskaf word en/of benodig word. Die fasiliteerdersgids dui baie duidelik aan watter leerhulpmiddel, werkboekaktiwiteit of prentkaart saam met die les gebruik moet word. іі dui ’n hulpbron aan wat verskaf word. Dit sluit die werkboek, prentkaarte en items in die leerhulpmiddel in. ÆÆ dui ’n hulpbron aan wat die fasiliteerder self moet verskaf. By elke sessie word daar van twee simbole gebruik gemaak: Die uiltjie dui aan wat die fasiliteerder moet doen.

Die potlood dui aan wat die leerder moet doen.

Werkboek Hierdie werkboek bevat 34 aktiwiteite wat die ontwikkeling van lees- en skryfvaardighede ondersteun. Die leesreeks: Die avonture van Ben, Lebo en Hanna Die Avonture van Ben, Lebo en Hanna. Graad 1, Fase 1: Prentkaarte. Die leesboek bevat agt prentkaarte vir bespreking en die lees van eenvoudige sinne. Die leerhulpmiddel Die leerhulpmiddel bevat ’n liggaamskaart met flitswoorde, klankkaarte, prente vir perseptuele ontwikkeling, flitskaarte van sigwoorde en geheuespeletjies.

Hoe om ‘n storieboek te kies Die graad 1 Huistaal- en Eerste Addisionele Taal-programme verwys dikwels na stories wat die fasiliteerder vir die leerders moet voorlees. Die fasiliteerder, en selfs die leerders, kan die stories kies. Dit is belangrik om boeke te kies wat leerders sal aanmoedig om te lees. Die storie moet dus gepas wees vir die ontwikkelingsvlak van die leerders, maar meer belangrik, dit moet die leerders se belangstelling in lees prikkel. Huistaalleerders sal saam met die fasiliteerder begin lees en later boeke op hulle eie lees. In Eerste Addisionele Taal sal leerders na die stories luister, maar daar word nie van die leerder verwag om self te lees nie. Hou die volgende in gedagte wanneer storieboeke vir die leerders gekies word: • Die leerders moet die stories geniet. Kies dus iets wat leerders in graad 1 genotvol sal vind. • Die prente in die boeke moet gepas wees vir graad 1-leerders. • Die woordeskat in die stories moet gepas wees vir graad 1-leerders. Die stories kan gedurende die jaar stelselmatig moeiliker word. Maak seker om altyd moeilike woorde aan die leerders te verduidelik. Hulle hoef dit nie self te kan lees nie, maar moet verstaan wat dit beteken. • Lees gereeld bekende stories vir die leerders. Hulle kan meer as een keer na ’n storie luister, maar maak seker om nuwe boeke op ’n gereelde basis aan die leerders bekend te stel. Die lys hieronder is aanbevole boeke wat gepas is vir graad 1-leerders. Dit is nie nodig dat storieboeke aangekoop moet word nie. Boeke kan by die biblioteek uitgeneem word en so kan daar verseker word dat die leerders aan ’n verskeidenheid boeke blootgestel word. • • • • • • • • • •

Look at my body, how it swings. Look at my fingers, full of rings. Twist and turn high on my toes, Up and down my pretty head goes. See the new shoes on my feet, This is me, am I not sweet? 15

Facilitator’s Guide Grade 1 ~ English First Additional Language

Start the session with the Body Rhyme. The facilitator recites the rhyme while the learners listen. Repeat the rhyme with the learners. Facilitate a discussion that requires the learners to name the different parts of the body. Emphasise the ‘names’ of the different body parts. Use the following guidelines to facilitate the discussion: • What helps you to walk around? (legs, knees and feet) • How many fingers and toes do you have? (The learners can count their fingers and toes) • What do you find between your shoulders and head? (neck) • Where is you elbow? • Use similar clues to move through the body and name all the parts of the body.

Session 2: Listening and speaking: My body The facilitator refers to the Body Rhyme. The learners recite the rhyme. The facilitator explains rhyming words. Use examples to demonstrate words that rhyme, e.g. boy and toy, hot and not, etc. Rhyming words sound similar when we listen to a rhyme. The learners recite the rhyme and identify the words that rhyme. (swings and rings, toes and goes, feet and sweet). Discuss each of the rhyming words, or make a sentence with each word. The learners have to understand the meaning of each word. They demonstrate the action that goes with the words, e.g. swing the body, nod the head, turn on the toes, etc.

Day 3 Session 1: Listening and speaking: My body The learners named all the body parts during a Home Language session earlier this week. Use the body chart in the learning aid and repeat the exercise. The learners name the parts of the body in English. As the learners name the parts of the body, the facilitator adds the flashcards to the body chart. This allows for incidental reading. The learners are not required to write or sound any of the words. They name the body part and see the word. The facilitator reads the name of each body part while the learners listen. They identify the first

Facilitator’s Guide Grade 1 ~ English First Additional Language

sound of each word. This is an auditory exercise. The learners listen and identify a sound. They are not required to write or identify any written sounds. As the facilitator reads the words and the learners identify the first sounds, they add the flashcards to the body chart. • hands: which sound do you hear first? (h) • The learners put the flashcard with ‘hands’ on the chart. • foot: which sound do you hear first? (f) • The learners put the flashcard with ‘foot’ on the chart. • Repeat the activity until the learners have named all the body parts.

Day 4 Session 1: Listening and speaking: My body • • •

Yesterday we named the different parts of the body. • Revise the parts of the body. The learners name each part and place a flashcard next to the body part on the body chart. As the facilitator reads each name of a body part, the learners identify the first sound of the word. Repeat the activity until you have named all the body parts.

Session 2: Draw your best friend

• • • •

The learners talked about themselves on Day 1 of this Learning unit. They also named their best friends and discussed the games they play together. The facilitator writes a sentence on the board.
