English in Nursery School.

First of all, I'm going to make a class about: What's your favorite color? Children's Song and What's your favorite sport? and What's your favorite food?  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JusX45BLTg&feature=player_embedded  (this activity is a hole one) and I want to choose another activity about Dream English-Let's Count 1 to 10! (it's a soundscript activity) . My main objective is  focused about TRP and Audio-Lingual metodologies and also I want to teach simple things to the children like colours, sports, foods and count numbers 1 to 10 for repetition and physical activities (if you pay attention to these materials, little students should follow the leader (teacher) and understand basic concepts developed there). Enjoy and learn with your Teacher, Cristian!

Coursebook: Developing Opportunities NEW EDITION INGLÉS 4º Medio Student’s Book.

First of all, I think this coursebook  it is too difficult for the teacher to prepare the class and to make activities with the students, also it has a lack of developing skills, for example, it only concentrates in two of four skills (reading and writing) forgetting another two (speaking and listening) and it doesn’t permit to learners to develop own learning strategies and to be independent in their learning and finally it doesn’t present a good revision of each unit. I believe this coursebook isn’t adequate for this course.
