Beginning of the lesson

5 minutes

Warm up:

At the beginning of the class find out if any of the learners know any English words. When they say the words or expressions hello, hi, I’m …, My name is …, announce to them the topic and objectives of the class.

Then introduce the children to the characters of the book Batyr, Ira, Dana, Misha, Mr Old Fox, Foxy, Slowy, Digger, who will assist them throughout the academic year. To practise saying and to memorize the characters’ names point to or show the pictures of these characters and ask the children to name them. While presenting them, you can tell them the names of the animals: e.g. Mr Old Fox/Foxy is a fox.

To develop correct pronunciation, we recommend playing tongue-twisters with learners for the sounds [h], [ai], [w] etc.

For the better memorizing, ask the learners to do ex.1 in the Activity book.

Track 2.

Hello, I’m Misha. Hello, I’m Dana. Hello, I’m Ira.

For the further practice of saying hello suggest playing a game. Ask them to stand in the circle and throw a ball to each other saying his/her name: e.g. Hello, I’m Marat.

Variation:

Encourage the learners to fulfill the instructions given by the teacher or groupmates: “Look at Dima. Say “hello” to Dima”. The learners should point to the corresponding character and say: “Hello, Dima!”etc.

At the end of the lesson ask the learners to summarize their activity at the lesson. Elicit their answers via supportive questions: e.g.:

What new words did we learn today?

Which word/words do we say when we see each other? How do we introduce ourselves?

Do you remember the helpers/characters who will accompany us for the whole year? What are their names?

Then encourage them to say all the words in chorus, you can say the words in Kazakh/Russian and they will give the English equivalents or show the flashcards and name the pictures.

Sing the song of the lesson one more time.

Keep encouraging the young learners for any success during the class/ whole course to make them feel more comfortable, confident and more motivated to acquire the language.
