This is an introduction to the La Jolie Ronde Spanish structured course for 5-11 year olds.

This booklet contains information on the course, its methodology and details of each programme. The sections of the course and where they can be found are shown on the right hand side of this page.

Established in 1983, La Jolie Ronde has continually developed and improved its course for over 30 years. The course promotes learning skills in preparation for, and in support of, National Strategies for the teaching of a modern foreign language up to the age of 11-12.

Tens of thousands of children all around the world are having fun following the La Jolie Ronde method in hundreds of schools as part of the curriculum, and in licensed after-school centres for Spanish in the UK alone.

La Jolie Ronde promotes positive attitudes to language learning.

Pupils’ satisfaction and enjoyment is a major objective. It is ……….. the happy way to learn Spanish!

THE LA JOLIE RONDE SPANISH COURSE AND METHODOLOGY

The 3 starting points

The course The course is for 5 to 11 year olds and can be structured over a period of 6 years.

Children learn through a diversity of oral and practical activities, with the addition of reading and writing as they progress. The emphasis is on songs, rhymes, stories, games and role plays and on making familiar classroom/home activities part of the language learning process.

Activities have been carefully selected for each age group, taking into account children’s stages of development.

The La Jolie Ronde Spanish course has what we believe to be a unique approach by having three alternative starting points: • Las aventuras de Mifú y Tina y las estaciones for 5-7 year olds.

• ¡Hola Pedro y Carmen! for 7-8 year olds.

• ¡Buenos días España! for 8-11 year olds.

Pupils then progress on to Mi viaje por España (9-11 year olds).

The content and materials of the three starting points are specifically devised for each agegroup.

Pupils can either progress from Las aventuras de Mifú y Tina y las estaciones to ¡Hola Pedro y Carmen! and ¡Buenos días España!, or simply start at ¡Buenos días España! Mi viaje por España, however, presumes prior learning and aims to build on previous experience to introduce new challenges. By the end of the course, children have the opportunity to develop all four language skills to an impressive level of creative language use.

The methodology The methodology is based on real communication situations suited to the interests, experience and social and intellectual development of each agegroup. It is also aimed at encouraging children to use language for their own purposes.

The methodology includes strategies for re-introducing words and phrases through new and different activities as the child develops.

Phrases introduced in a rhyme, song or story at an early age will be used again in a role play situation, a game or a song at a later stage.

As confidence grows, a child may be asked to search in his/her memory for words and phrases which will meet the needs of a new situation.

Reading and writing are postponed until confident oral activities have been performed and are established. Both activities are seen as a reinforcement of listening and speaking skills.

Faithful to the spirit of the method, reading and writing activities remain within a child’s capability and are seen by the children as a game.

The method can be used in virtually any classroom situation. It is used successfully both with small groups of children sitting on the floor or around a table and with the more formal setting of twenty/ thirty pupils facing the teacher. The flexibility of the method allows the teacher to choose the most appropriate approach.

Children are kept ‘busy’ and actively involved throughout each lesson. Young children are physically involved, pointing, holding, organising flash cards, pretending, playing the teacher, all in a stress-free atmosphere.

The aim is for each child to enjoy producing his/her own work. Children are encouraged to ‘think for themselves’, to search for clues, to imagine and make up their own plays and to get involved with the stories or the activities introduced throughout the course.

The children learn orally first. The emphasis is on songs, role plays and learning to communicate.

Indeed, children having completed the course have a sound knowledge of basic vocabulary and phrases which gives them a good grounding for future language learning.

THE PROGRAMMES IN GENERAL Las aventuras de Mifú y Tina y las estaciones This is for pre-readers and early readers. It can be used for one or two years.

It is in two parts.

Each part contains a pupil’s Activity Book, a Teacher’s Guide with Photocopiable Masters, two Child’s CDs, Teacher Audio and Resources CDs and a set of coloured flash cards.

From experience we have found that children starting their language learning at 4 or 5 are more successful than children starting at 8 or 9.

At this young age they are very receptive to new sounds, which become familiar very quickly.

They are uninhibited and quickly become confident and at ease with the foreign language.

For these reasons, Las aventuras de Mifú y Tina y las estaciones contains a lot of stories, action chants, songs and games so that the children learn Spanish just like young Spanish children do and in the same way as they learnt their mother tongue. These are activities they enjoy and will repeat over and over again, absorbing language as they ‘play’.

¡Hola Pedro y Carmen!

This is the starting point for 7 and 8 year olds and younger children who are able to read and write.

• Vocabulary from Las aventuras de Mifú y Tina y las estaciones can be reinforced and extended.

• The Teacher’s Guide gives clear guidance on how to use the course

FURTHER IMPORTANT ELEMENTS Grammar Basic grammar points are introduced from ¡Hola Pedro y Carmen! onwards. Grammar has a background role in the method in order to form good habits and strong foundations. Points of grammar are introduced in a natural way that arises from the context of the stories, songs and games. We make sure that grammar is fun!

Evaluation and Assessment There is continuous assessment embedded in the course and children do not realise that their progress is being monitored. Each lesson allows children to develop while at the same time constantly reinforcing work already covered through games and activities. The activity books allow both teachers and parents to see at a glance the work covered at any time.

Records of Achievement and ‘I can’ checklists are points of reference for assessing each child’s progress within the whole programme. In the Teacher’s Guide for ¡Hola Pedro y Carmen! and ¡Buenos días España! there is a special section, page 32, on Evaluation and Assessment.

Statutory guidelines for Languages at Primary Level in England and Wales.

Since September 2014, it has been statutory for all children in Key Stage 2 to learn a foreign language. The Programme of Study for Languages clarifies the government’s expectations regarding children’s learning in this subject. The La Jolie Ronde course materials will help teachers to meet the requirements of the Programme of Study across the four skills as well as in phonics and grammar.

Scotland – Scotland has made a commitment “to introduce a norm for language learning... in which every child will learn two languages in addition to their mother tongue” by 2020. Here once again, the La Jolie Ronde course materials will be invaluable in providing resources to enable the Scottish government to achieve that goal.

Preparation for Secondary School As with any other area of the curriculum, the learning of language skills at Primary level has to provide the foundation for future learning.

The method has been carefully devised so that the children, once starting Spanish at their Secondary school, do not get bored with ‘having done Spanish before’ and are still learning.

Indeed the course is designed to use the skills and meet the needs of Primary school children, which differ from those at Secondary school level. In general, pupils gain experience in language-learning techniques. Children become accustomed to listening. They acquire language which is extended and continued at Secondary level.

A window on the outside world The geographical/cultural content of the programme helps children to become aware of realities which might differ from those of their own world. This improves their sense of location and develops their understanding of Spanish-speaking countries through observation of cultural similarities and differences. The geography of Spanish is also introduced in a structured way.

Differentiation There is material suited to all abilities. For this early stage of language learning, the carefully researched programmes offer some flexibility and, step by step, build the children’s confidence in listening, speaking, reading and writing.

The course has been tailor-made to suit the children’s age and development. The material is accessible to all, with an opportunity for success at every level.

THE TRANSITION TO SECONDARY SCHOOL The La Jolie Ronde in Spanish programme has been specially created to allow smooth transition to the Secondary sector. This early learning, however, must not consist simply of language awareness. What makes our method so successful and which distinguishes it from other programmes is that it is structured and planned to allow continuity and progression.

A simple language awareness course quickly crumbles.

The need to sustain the pupil’s enthusiasm and the means to keep his/her attention and motivation means the teacher can soon be frustrated with such simple language awareness courses. Young children need to learn methodically.

They expect organised and constantly changing activities from the teacher. This is exactly what the La Jolie Ronde method can offer, for it goes far beyond a simple language awareness experience.

La Jolie Ronde has found a balance between the concern to give a structured learning experience and the need to relate directly to life in a world where communication is paramount. Our aim is that children like the new language that they are learning – we want them to be motivated to continue their language learning with a greater knowledge of the Spanish language and of the Spanish people and their country.

The programme we offer provides children with ‘tools’ which they can use to good effect for the official course of study at Secondary school.

La Jolie Ronde wants children to look forward to their Secondary school language-learning experience and to have a confident, positive approach. The La Jolie Ronde course is designed to use the skills and meet the needs of Primary school children, which differ from those at Secondary school level.

We therefore avoid the danger of repetition and the resulting frustration and boredom. Children are accustomed to listening, are attuned to different language sounds, and have copied these sounds at a time when imitation is not hampered by entrenched mother-tongue language sounds and social inhibitions. Children have experience of language-learning techniques such as the use of role play and cue cards. © Copyright La Jolie Ronde 2008.

An extract from a presentation to a SATIPS Conference on Role Play and Drama for Key Stage 1 and 2 by Colette Hallam, Founder of La Jolie Ronde: “……My final point concerns the need to be aware of language-learning to come, at Secondary level. We must ensure that the experience of activities for language-learning at this earlier stage enhances rather than preempts what will follow. Situations should be relevant to the younger child’s experience of the world around them. Let the children guide the direction your drama takes, letting them draw on their own experience and understanding.

Techniques should be geared to the level of development of the age-group. In this way you avoid the level of activity they will be asked to prepare at Secondary school, allowing them to find something new and interesting to do, something which the Secondary language teacher has geared to their increasing maturity and interaction with the world. What we will have done is prepare the way – given a taste of role play and drama which is positive, fun and within their grasp.”

In Summary “The La Jolie Ronde resources and materials are of an excellent quality, extensively researched and prepared, immensely enjoyable and completely original. Research is carried out continually to ensure that the materials remain fresh, but also take into account government directives, whilst at the same time not encroaching upon the work carried out by language teachers at Secondary school.” [Modern Foreign Language in the Primary School – Regional Support meeting – Alison Knight and Suzanne Saxby] (17th March 2005)

INTRODUCTION This programme has been written for all those working with young beginners (5 - 6 / 6 - 7 year olds).

It suggests support for younger or less able children and extension work for older or more able children.

It can be extended to cover a two year period, and for this reason, it is in two parts.

Programme aims • To familiarise children with the sound of the Spanish language and develop their ability to listen attentively.

• To help young children to: - become confident in using phrases and words other than their mother tongue - become familiar with classroom language - develop listening and concentration skills - develop social skills associated with interpersonal behaviour and communication - enjoy a variety of language learning activities.

• To enable children to use the Spanish language creatively and/or for their own purposes, promoting independence.

• To integrate Spanish into school or home life.

• To allow children of all abilities to experience success and develop personal confidence.

• To promote gross and fine motor skills and visual literacy.

Las aventuras de Mifú y Tina y las estaciones will support teachers in providing activities which are: - worthwhile and interesting - a contributory factor to achieving specific learning objectives - geared to the level of development of children: making the most of their listening skills, their love of singing, dancing and performing - a sound foundation for more advanced MFL work.

Programme approach With Las aventuras de Mifú y Tina y las estaciones, oral and aural skills are given priority. Children chant, sing and take an active part in role plays and drama.

© Copyright La Jolie Ronde 2008.

The programme is carefully structured and enables children to use their knowledge of simple Spanish language creatively. Consideration has been given to the general level of their development and many opportunities are offered to enable children to use their new language imaginatively and confidently through a main conductor: mini stories. A short story in every session helps children internalise the patterns of the language, new words and phrases. The children become immersed in the different activities which are offered to them. They play, chant, sing, act and display their own work creatively. The activities undertaken are mainly stories, songs, games and action chants.

Pupil achievement As you approach the end of Las aventuras de Mifú y Tina y las estaciones, your pupils will have: • used with confidence some words and phrases other than their mother tongue • developed listening and concentration skills • developed confidence and enjoyed a variety of language learning activities • developed their social skills. [“I am delighted to see such a lovely resource in Key Stage 1. It offers clear support and guidance for teachers and a really enjoyable learning experience for children. The focus on immersing the children........... is just the right approach for this young age group, and this is done in appealing ways through stories and songs. The children’s workbook offers opportunities to reinforce skills development across the curriculum, through the medium of Spanish, through activities such as sequencing, finding the odd-one-out and developing early writing skills. A very rich and well-researched resource, which provides teachers with all they need to teach...........]

[I would love to see my own daughter progressing through this scheme in Key Stage 1.”]

4 main areas: ? WHAT HAVE WE LEARNT? Ideas for baño español and warm-up TO START WITH activities – These are the baño español warm-up – Play some music. The children pass around three toys/puppets. Stop the music. The child with the toy/puppet has to say the name of the puppet he/she is holding. Continue a few times. Revise activities and an opportunity to revise language well-known action chants and count for your baño español. Involve your Mifú puppet, who can ask a child to choose a specific song card or who can pick a card at random. Revise counting. Count boys and girls in the class each week “¿Cuántos niños hay?”/ “¿Cuántas niñas hay?” already introduced. This section usually includes – Set your objectives with the children. greetings, key phrases which children chant or TEACH AND REINFORCE GAMES sing, and counting. Objectives are set.

– El juego del dado de colores. Optional game. (Teach the two new colours: blanco y gris in a Teach and reinforce – introduces and practises different way if you wish.) Play a dice game with colours. Use the cube that you made, which has a different colour on each side. The children throw the dice in turn and say the Spanish word for the colour. Have two teams. Then give each team a specific colour, e.g. white or grey. Each new language through different educational member of the team throws the large dice in turn. The team that throws its own colour the most times is the winner.

This game could also be played a second time with orange and brown and a third time with red strategies such as: stories, games, chants and and yellow. It would be a good way to consolidate all six colours, particularly for those children who have started Spanish this term. songs, art and craft, and work in Activity Books following a selection of active and more settled activities.

Home link – a section for follow-up activities at home if appropriate.

Finally – what have we learnt today? A recap of what the children have been doing. It is also an ideal opportunity for the teacher to assess the children’s work and to talk about what they can do at home to reinforce what they have been learning. Follow up with a goodbye routine with puppets/toys. © Copyright La Jolie Ronde 2014. This page may not be photocopied.

• Additional suggestions for extension and differentiation. This section suggests some follow-up and extension activities which provide not only reinforcement of the learning objectives, but also help more able/less able children, or older/younger children. Familiar vocabulary needs to be reintroduced regularly to give confidence to less able children. However, new material also needs to be introduced to challenge the more able.

• The transcripts of the Audio and Child CDs. • Where appropriate, specific photocopiable sheets are included at the end of each module for extension and follow-up, e.g. home tasks. Some pages can be used as visual support and displayed in the classroom or corridor/assembly hall. Further pages and coloured pictures are available in the Resources CDs. La Jolie Ronde is used in many different class situations; therefore the course provides flexibility in order to address all situations. Teachers will need to be flexible in the use of this material and adapt it to their circumstances (ranging from one 30-minute session a week to a number of minutes daily!)

The suggested activities are at the discretion of the teachers who will choose them to suit the different skills and levels of the class. This programme offers the tools needed in order for children to be kept motivated, interested and challenged at every session.

Photocopiable masters The Teacher’s Guide is accompanied by a set of photocopiable masters. There are 226 pages in total of which 196 are A4-sized story boards (see page 17 for more details). There is also a list of core words (entitled ‘Set of words’), associated images (called ‘Mini pictures’) and a useful set of pictures related to songs (called ‘Song pictures’).

A practical point: The children should use a pencil so that answers can be erased and activities repeated. Also, do not let the children use coloured felt pens if possible.

Coloured crayons/pencils are best.

Mini stories Children love stories. Listening to stories is, for them, an experience they can share. Repeating stories can be comforting and helps to build confidence.

Mini stories are the main conductor for communication with Las aventuras de Mifú y Tina y las estaciones.

They introduce new language and help to practise and reinforce previous language. The stories encourage listening and speaking and are presented as simply as possible. All have a clear and uncomplicated storyline with plenty of repetition. The children are encouraged to join in with the story. Opportunities for extension work and follow-up abound and many have a moral, or a specific situation which children would recognise and they often say, “Oh! That happened to me!”

Each story is divided into six parts linked to six pictures, each highly visual (see examples below). You can also use the large A4 illustrations of each picture if you wish (available from the photocopiable masters section).

EVALUATION AND ASSESSMENT At such a young age, formal assessment is not always necessary and should be minimal. The aim is for each child to speak, sing and play (responding to visual or auditory cues) with confidence, in a relaxed atmosphere through games or fun and rewarding activities. The child’s progress in these areas is most easily and effectively assessed by continual teacher observation, annotating specific information gained through listening to the child, watching and talking with him/her, making specific comments on what the child has understood, what he/she can do and what further support is needed.

When assessing a child more formally, your evaluation could be based on attainment targets from early stages of National Guidelines, for example:

Listening and responding

- Shows understanding of simple classroom commands.

- Follows simple instructions.

- Shows understanding of short statements and questions.

- Shows understanding through non-verbal response.

- Identifies words within a sentence.

- Can predict and guess.

- Can listen to specific information.

Speaking

- Can respond briefly, with single words or short phrases, to what they see and hear.

- Repeats words with correct accent.

- Sings songs with appropriate and meaningful actions.

- Makes use of non-verbal strategies.

- Uses words and phrases outside their usual classroom contact.

- Creates own responses or short new dialogues. Uses language introduced in different contexts.

Additional evaluation can be at the discretion of the teacher.

© Copyright La Jolie Ronde 2008.

Below are some suggestions:

Attitude and learning skills -

Enjoys Spanish and tries to speak.

Shows interest and participates in activities.

Can organise himself/herself.

Can concentrate on individual tasks.

Can work independently.

Can finish work on time.

Can reflect and assess own progress.

Makes an effort.

Reading and writing -

Can Can Can Can

match text to pictures. follow simple written instructions. recognise words in context. label pictures and copy words.

Social skills

- Offers to help others and seeks help from others.

- Co-operates with others and respects rules.

Self-evaluation

It is good to invite the children to reflect on their own work, to realise how much they can do in Spanish and talk about their success or their problems. In their activity book, the children are invited to add smiling or half-smiling faces (avoid sad faces!) to the cat symbols and evaluate each activity for themselves.

Other assessment opportunities

Marking is at the discretion of the teacher and stars can be coloured in the child’s activity book depending on his/her performance.

Further skills could be developed from other areas of the curriculum and evaluated as required.

Further suggestions are available in the Teacher’s Guide.

LJR Spanish Course 5-11 year olds.

A comprehensive course which can be used to develop language skills progressively through a range of structured and creative activities. There is guidance and support for both teachers and parents.

© Copyright La Jolie Ronde 2008.

22

INTRODUCTION These two programmes have been written for all those working with 7-8 year olds and 8-11 year olds.

gradually and sensitively introduced in line with the child’s linguistic development in general, and as he/she progresses through the course.

They can both be used as a starting point within the course or as a progression from Las aventuras de Mifú y Tina y las estaciones. ¡Buenos días España! can also be used as a progression from ¡Hola Pedro y Carmen!

Pupil achievement

Programme aims

A course aimed at youngsters needs to capture their interest and imagination. It has to be fun, interesting, rewarding, challenging and motivating. La Jolie Ronde method is just that!

• To familiarise children with sounds of the Spanish language and develop their ability to listen attentively.

• To develop listening and speaking skills first, followed by reading and writing skills later.

• To enable children to use the Spanish language creatively, for their own purposes, promoting independence.

• To give children and teachers an enjoyable experience.

• To develop the tools for learning a language – language learning skills – which can be later transferred for efficient learning to a second, or even a third foreign language.

• To build the confidence and self-esteem necessary for on-going success.

• To promote oracy, literacy and cultural awareness.

• To allow children of all abilities to experience success.

Programme approach

As language teachers, we are all well aware of the “forgetting curve” in our pupils. Consequently there is the need to retain learning within the active memory by continually interacting with it. This process of recycling is very much at the heart of the La Jolie Ronde methodology.

As your pupils approach the end of ¡Hola Pedro y Carmen! they will have: • learnt the core vocabulary and be able to recognise and copy the written form • been introduced to some grammar in a fun way • developed confidence and the social skills to work in pairs or groups, in short conversation, and have enjoyed a variety of language learning activities.

As your pupils approach the end of ¡Buenos Días España! they will have: • reinforced, consolidated and extended their core vocabulary • been introduced to role plays and learnt how to recycle words and phrases to produce their own original role plays • extended their writing to sentence level and been introduced to further grammar.

When your pupils progress to Mi viaje por España they will: • revise previously learnt vocabulary, and be introduced to more in new contexts • continue to explore more grammar and structure in a fun way • be given opportunities to develop listening comprehension, reading and writing skills, encouraging a creative use of the language in all skill areas.

The emphasis is upon listening and speaking activities, with reading and writing skills being

23

ABOUT THE PROGRAMMES As ¡Hola Pedro y Carmen! and ¡Buenos días España! can both be used as starting points within the course, they share the same topics.

However, further activities based on these topics (such as role plays) have been introduced in ¡Buenos días España! to accommodate children who have completed ¡Hola Pedro y Carmen! and are progressing through Buenos días España before moving on to Mi viaje por España.

Both programmes introduce the same core vocabulary.

It is important to note that Buenos días España is NOT simply a repetition of ¡Hola Pedro y Carmen!, but a reinforcement of the core vocabulary. With ¡Buenos días España!, emphasis is on role plays incorporating the words children know well. It gives them opportunities to use the language more creatively and helps them to make up their own role plays.

This prepares them well for the more in-depth exercises contained in Mi viaje por España which is a progression from the ¡Buenos días España! programme. ¡Buenos días España! is the time for talking and consolidating. It is for children to make best use of the language learned and use it for their own needs.

It is assumed that pupils starting Mi viaje por España will know the role plays of ¡Buenos días España! very well and will have practised the techniques involved in learning them.

24

Over what time period should the programmes be taught?

Examples of topics

There are 19 units in each programme. ¡Hola Pedro y Carmen! can be completed comfortably in one academic year with one or two 30 minute sessions per week. ¡Buenos días España! can be completed in considerable detail in one academic year with two to three 30 minute sessions per week.

Where the time allocated per week is less, e.g. one 30-45 minute session per week, we would recommend that teachers follow the activities from the pupil’s book, omitting supplementary ideas/activities in the Teacher’s Guide in order to allow the book to be completed in one academic year and to enable pupils to receive their certificates at the end of the year.

While it is envisaged that one programme will be covered in one academic year, this will depend on the number of sessions, the ability of the children and the extent of supplementary activities introduced at the teacher’s discretion. There is no hard and fast rule.

Face, House, Animals example of a page from ¡Hola Pedro y Carmen!

The method has been specifically designed to be flexible.

There are 13 topics for both programmes, subdivided into three distinct, related areas: About Myself – Face – Transport – People – House – Animals.

Food – Drink – Shops – At table.

Body – Clothes – Directions.

All the topics are continually reintroduced. For example, shops will be introduced again at the same time as directions, and specific, carefully devised situations will prompt the children to use as much known vocabulary as possible.

For both programmes, suggestions for listening and speaking activities are followed by reading and writing activities.

SUGGESTIONS FOR LISTENING AND SPEAKING ACTIVITIES

• ¿Qué tal?/¿Cómo estás? ¿Cómo está usted?

Invite the children to ask each other how they are in Spanish. Start with the child sitting next to you. Ask him ¿Qué tal?/¿Cómo estás? Tell him to answer Bien, gracias. He must then turn to the child next to him and ask the same question, ¿Qué tal?/¿Cómo estás?... and so on. When you reach the last child, explain that he/she will have to say ¿Cómo está usted? (polite form) to you.

- For a change of activity and a change of pace you could practise ¿Qué tal?/¿Cómo estás? and ¿Cómo está usted? in pairs moving about the room and greeting each other in Spanish.

- Explain why the question is in a different form. At the beginning they will need your help but after a few sessions they will enjoy “talking in Spanish” to each other entirely on their own. This activity should be introduced at the beginning of every lesson.

- Play the rap on Track 33 - Buenos días, ¿qué tal? ¿qué tal?

• Baño español

Add ‘How are you?’ to the usual questions and answers. Include the days of the week.

Use the CD for a listening comprehension, Cat 7 (Track 32).

• Counting

Reintroduce a game that the children enjoy, e.g. hiding objects and asking the children to guess how many have been hidden.

- Prepare cards with one number on each, distribute to the children and at random ask for the number in Spanish.

• The face

Point to your own face and say the name of each part in this order: los ojos. la nariz, la boca, las orejas, el pelo y el cuello.

Ask the children to point to all the different parts of their face and repeat the words. Do this twice.

- Distribute photographs of people. Ask the children to point to all the different parts of the face in Spanish. Quicken the pace and mix the order.

- Simón dice, tócate el pelo, the equivalent of “Simon Says” could be played once the children are familiar with the words.

Play games to practise the words: - Use paper and let the children cut up different parts of a face.

- Let them use colours and glue the faces onto a board or another piece of paper.

Let them describe the face in Spanish.

- Close your eyes or blindfold a child and try to draw a face. Pupils call out in Spanish what to draw.

of the most spectacular fiestas “Las Fallas de Valencia”, or visit the nearby town of Buñol for the annual tomato battle “La Tomatina”.

• Cat 7

– Listening and reading comprehension. Revise the difference between ¿Qué tal? ¿Cómo estás? (familiar form) and ¿Cómo está usted? (polite form).

• Cat 8

– Self-explanatory. As an extension, the children could copy and write up their own descriptions. Once corrected, the phrases could be exchanged between the children and each would then do a drawing.

• Question Cat

– Give the name of Spain’s most famous food which you can find in Valencia: La paella valenciana. Give the name of a famous festival: Las Fallas.

How did I learn?

The whole class listened to the song: Es el gato de la bruja. We were able to understand a lot, based on what we have already learnt.

• Describing people

Revise relevant vocabulary (size, colours of their clothes).

Play a variety of games to enable pupils to practise listening to and then producing sentences which describe someone: - Describing people in the class for others to guess.

- Describing a monster for pupils to draw.

- Describing your ideal boyfriend/ girlfriend. Consolidate with Cat 8.

• Possessive

At this stage it would be advisable not to give elaborate explanations but to concentrate on listening comprehensions - Cat 6 - see CD transcript, or games.

- Go around the room describing: Es la cabeza de Vicente, es la nariz de Luisa.

Then ask ¿Qué es? to elicit the sentence, or just the nouns, as an answer.

- Distribute flash cards to all the children.

Ask them to place one in front of them on the table. Start by asking the question yourself as the cards are turned over: ¿Qué es?, then slowly allow the children to take over asking the question, while pointing to the card.

Depending on who it belongs to, let the child answer Es el perro de...

- Put all the flash cards on the table. ¡Buenos días España!

Further features…. and benefits for teachers!

The Teacher’s Guide also includes: • Vocabulary by topic areas These pages will assist teachers to prepare for reinforcement and consolidation. At a glance, teachers can recycle specific vocabulary and revisit different topic areas. This is a handy ‘check list’ and a support for focused revision.

It helps to manipulate language in a creative way and generate storytelling.

• Songs and track numbers It is so easy to find a particular song and to read the lyrics!

• A set of cue cards A set of cue cards is available – all ready to copy. The children fill in and create their own role plays based on the ones with which they are familiar.

THE PUPIL ACTIVITY BOOKS ¡Hola Pedro y Carmen!

The pupil activity book has 46 pages.

Each page is numbered in Spanish. For every lesson, the children write the equivalent number in the box provided. ¡Hola Pedro y Carmen! invites the children to copy the spelling of each unit number in the box provided.

Each unit has a number of activities laid out, either for use in the classroom or for homework (see examples).

Each activity is highlighted by the silhouette of a cat. The headphones indicate that there is a listening activity from the child’s CD and the track number is clearly highlighted below the cat. At the end of an activity, children are invited to draw the mouth of the cat (which is purposely missing), either as a smile, or a half-smile, depending on the way they feel about the activity or the way they performed.

5-6

examples pages from the activity book

When new words in an activity are introduced, each group of new words is surrounded by a red border (‘the red puddle’). There are pictures of the words alongside the ‘puddle’. This makes it easy for a child to locate the new words and they simply draw a line from the picture to the word.

Further pages at the end of the book include the words of all the songs and the role plays.

example of transcripts of some of the songs

© Copyright La Jolie Ronde 2008.

Children are keen to learn, and some initial understanding of reading and writing can be taught to them through the La Jolie Ronde activity books in Spanish. Everything is presented in an easy, non-threatening, fun and rewarding way!

29

¡Buenos días España!

This pupil activity book has 52 pages.

As a rule, in each unit of the book, there is writing, new vocabulary, a cue card for a role play, listening, speaking, reading and copying activities plus geography and cultural points. Added to this can be bingo games, word games or questions from the teacher.

Each group of new words is surrounded by a blue border (‘the blue star’). This makes it easy for the children to locate the new words.

Simple symbols are used to give meaning to instructions e.g. a pen drawing or a pen writing. Once again, headphones on the cats highlight the listening passages on the CD. For each unit, the children also fill in names of towns, rivers and mountains on their map of Spain, to improve their geographical knowledge.

Further pages at the end of the book include words for the songs and role plays, an appendix in order to practise dictionary skills, word searches and a page for attaching postcards or pictures.

examples of pages from the activity book

Children take a personal sense of pride writing in the La Jolie Ronde activity books.

The books provide a visible record of achievement and progression. The children love to make the book their own by colouring or decorating with their own designs.

Children can absorb large amounts of language, especially when it is presented in a fun and stimulating way with a song! Learning is a multi-sensory process. We all benefit from adopting the multi-sensory approach. One of the most valuable hooks on which we can hang the material is music! Children are immediately engaged as they move in time to the beat of a La Jolie Ronde Spanish song!

¡Buenos días España!

THE CDs

¡Buenos días España! has its own CD with a further 22 songs and activities including:

• Introduction of core vocabulary • A number of original songs with ‘catchy’ tunes.

These effective ‘learning’ songs help to reinforce useful words and phrases. They often help with literacy, e.g. ‘find the words that rhyme’.

Once the children are familiar with the song, they will have fun singing in the gaps.

EVALUATION AND ASSESSMENT The La Jolie Ronde method is used in a wide variety of contexts, requiring different degrees of formal assessment.

The course in its initial stages, up to the end of Las aventuras de Mifú y Trottine y las estaciones (see page 11), is devoted to building confidence, developing listening and comprehension skills, social skills and good pronunciation as well as an enjoyment of playing with another language.

The child’s progress in these areas is most easily and effectively assessed by continual teacher observation.

This assessment method should continue to be used throughout ¡Hola Pedro y Carmen! and ¡Buenos días España! and beyond.

As the course progresses, the children will be developing additional skills in the four areas of language competence: listening, speaking, reading and writing, as well as an awareness of language structures. The work done in the pupil activity books provides opportunities to assess development in all areas except speaking.

Teacher assessment

The skills which the course promotes and which should be taken into consideration during assessment are outlined in the Teacher’s Guide.

In particular if working towards the voluntary DfES Asset Languages assessment (England and Wales), it would be useful to bear in mind the attainment targets set out in the Government’s Non-Statutory Guidelines for Modern Foreign Languages at Key Stage 2, in which the Attainment Levels define the expected development of linguistic competence.

These attainment targets are summarised in the Teacher’s Guide and the teacher may wish to consider them when assessing a child’s progress.

As with subjects assessed in SATs, it is hoped that Year 6 children will reach Level 4 in their studied language.

Self-assessment by pupils intended use of the ‘I can’ sheets

It is important for the child to see what (s)he has achieved and learnt. It is for this reason that we have included the ‘I can’ checklists in the course (all ready-made for teachers in the photocopiable masters set).

Each child should feel a positive sense of achievement, through recording his or her own progress. This approach caters for all abilities and allows the child to chart his/her progress against previous performance, rather than against a predetermined benchmark or other pupils’ work.

When collated, these sheets can form a ‘Record of Achievement’ for the child.

© Copyright La Jolie Ronde 2008.

33

Recording attainment

We all want a child’s first contact with the Spanish language to be a positive and enjoyable experience. Whilst formal assessment is not always necessary, recording attainment is in order to monitor the pupils’ progress and to provide information for teachers in forthcoming years. This is especially important when children complete the La Jolie Ronde course of study and move on.

The photocopiable tick list, “Teacher Record of Pupil Attainment”, will enable teachers to record quickly the attainment of each pupil in the key skills areas.

An alternative method for recording attainment is a short report based on the assessment guidelines.

36

INTRODUCTION This programme has been written for all those working with 9-11 year olds and is a progression from ¡Buenos días España! It contains reference to, and uses vocabulary from, previous parts of the course. It is, however, perfectly possible to use the programme with pupils who have not used La Jolie Ronde in Spanish before, although we do recommend that it be used with pupils who have prior knowledge of the language.

Programme aims

• To familiarise children with the sound of the Spanish language and develop the ability to listen attentively.

• To revise previous, and introduce further vocabulary in new contexts.

• To provide opportunities to develop listening comprehension, reading and writing skills and to encounter more complex language strategies.

• To encourage a creative use of the language in all skill areas.

• To develop language learning skills.

• To build the confidence and self-esteem necessary for on-going success.

• To promote oracy, literacy and cultural awareness.

• To provide a framework and resources for each teacher to use and adapt according to his/her individual needs and preferences.

• To allow children of all abilities to experience success.

Programme approach

In Mi viaje por España, familiar structures are developed further. For example: ¿Qué te gusta? becomes ¿Qué te gusta beber/comer? or ¿Qué te gusta de fruta? Pupils are encouraged to see how, by word substitution, they can generate more sentences of their own. By this stage, children are reaching a point where they are able to ask and answer more questions.

© Copyright La Jolie Ronde 2008.

This is a new challenge for pupils. Each lesson offers new vocabulary, games, reading and writing activities and an extended number of listening opportunities.

There is increasing emphasis on the creative use of the language: new contexts are introduced and the pupils are encouraged to combine known elements to suit new situations.

Pupil achievement

The La Jolie Ronde in Spanish programme is taught in a variety of situations: formally in schools, as part of the curriculum, or less formally in Language Centres, or as an extracurricular activity. Each of these will have their own language learning objectives: some will concentrate on speaking, listening and oral confidence; others will want to include reading and writing proficiency as well.

According to the learning context, children will be able to develop their language learning potential, with the course providing opportunities to reach Level 4 of the National Curriculum Attainment Targets in listening, speaking, reading and writing (England and Wales).

Whatever level of performance is reached in these four skills, children will be used to manipulating and communicating in a foreign language and will have acquired a broad vocabulary. They will have begun to read and write independently in Spanish and have the confidence to make the most of their language learning at Secondary school.

37

ABOUT THE PROGRAMME There are 19 units in the programme. Each unit should last approximately 2 to 3 weeks (with lessons lasting 45 minutes a week). However, you may have half an hour a week with your children or possibly up to two hours. To respond to the needs of this diverse range of teaching circumstances, we have aimed to provide a course which has a core of language objectives that all teachers should cover. It also provides opportunities for further language development and extension work together with ideas for revision and consolidation through reapplying known language into new contexts. The feedback from teachers using this programme for 45 minutes once a week, overwhelmingly confirms that units 1-11 approximately fit into 1 year and units 12-19 in a second year.

The objectives for lessons are clearly defined in a grid at the start of each unit.

are introduced through a song, the negative form through listening games.

The basic grammar from ¡Hola Pedro y Carmen! and ¡Buenos días España! is reinforced and additional points are introduced. More games are played with estar, ser and tener.

The fact that La Jolie Ronde method provides for so many different circumstances may seem to some teachers that there appears to be a large amount of material to cover. It is therefore important to remember that, when drawing up schemes of work, you can choose how much of the extra material to use, over and above the key language.

Here are the programme:

First term: Time/dates and weather/seasons – Clothes and items related to clothing – The family.

Second term: Food (fruits, vegetables, meat and others) – Mealtimes – Shopping – Restaurant – At table.

Third term: Useful places – Shops – Directions – Rooms.

All the topics are continually reintroduced e.g.

Time will be reintroduced with Food.

All the grammar points have a background role in the method. Children are aware of certain rules but emphasis is always on oral communication. For example, ‘some’ and ‘the’

THE TEACHER’S GUIDE There are 19 units in this programme and each has a first page of reference.

An example is shown below: Clear objectives for each unit Language which should be covered in the lessons.

Gives ideas for optional ‘recycling’.

Draws the teacher’s attention to language which can be found in the book or the CD, but which is peripheral to the lesson and can be incorporated if desired.

A reference to the main activities such as songs, games, role plays, together with the introduction of a region and a Spanish proverb.

Suggestions for listening and speaking activities are followed by reading and writing activities (see examples below).

Useful symbols are placed throughout. For example, this recyling symbol highlights areas of revision.

Information about each region of Spain is included in each unit. Children are encouraged to learn about Spain, its geography and culture as they follow the Viaje por España (see example below).

THE TEACHER’S GUIDE Further features … and benefits for teachers!

The Teacher’s Guide also includes: • Vocabulary by topic area.

These pages will assist teachers to prepare for reinforcement and consolidation. At a glance, teachers can recycle specific vocabulary and revisit different topic areas. This is a handy ‘checklist’ and a support for focused revision.

It helps to manipulate language in a creative way and generate story telling.

• Songs, role plays and their track numbers So easy to find a particular song or the role play you need!

• Ready-to-use speaking and writing tasks straight after the 9th, 14th and 19th units. These tasks can be given to the pupils very informally as a team game or they can be part of oral questions for an end-of-term examination (see example below).

THE PUPIL ACTIVITY BOOK The pupil activity book has 62 pages.

Each page is numbered in Spanish. For every lesson, the children write the equivalent number in the box provided.

Each unit has some activities laid out either for use in the classroom or for homework.

Each activity is highlighted by the silhouette of a cat. The headphones indicate that there is a listening activity.

5-6

For each lesson, Cat 1 has four standard questions and the children are encouraged to write the answers on their own. There are picture clues to assist when the order of questions is changed.

There is an additional question in each unit, which relates to the current or previous lesson.

Groups of new words are introduced with Cat 2.

Cat 2 benefits from the addition of phrases to link with the new vocabulary which the teacher can choose to pursue if desired.

For revision purposes the children are asked to remember each region’s main town or river.

examples of pages from the activity book

You will notice a crow that asks a lot of questions and makes comments. These are intended to promote revision of work done in ¡Buenos días España! or provide extension possibilities.

Pages for revision and consolidation are introduced through the book.

The pupil activity book also includes an appendix, where children are encouraged to copy the new words they learn. Ideal for dictionary skills practice!

The lyrics of the songs are also provided as well as all the role plays and cue cards (see next page for more details).

44

Role plays Role plays are a key element of Mi viaje por España. Using the cue cards that are presented at the back of the pupil activity book, children recognise the symbols easily and have fun practising the role plays.

The role plays are longer than in ¡Buenos días España! Through role plays, the children acquire confidence and see that they can speak more Spanish. Each one has a title and can be referred to easily. The children can make up their own role plays using any of those in their book as a pattern.
