SLIDE 3 The Philippine Language Context
Cross-Linguistic Transfer of Literacy Ability
- Readers use knowledge of their native
language as they read in a second language (Durgunoglu & Oney, 2000)
- Possibly, transferability is bi-directional
(Fitzgerald, 1999)
SLIDE 4 The Philippine Language Context
Cross-Linguistic Transfer of Literacy Ability
- Monolingual beginning reading instruction in
Filipino had positive effects on children’s English literacy skills – specifically in terms of the alphabet and phonological awareness (Aquino, 2005)
SLIDE 5 The Philippine Language Context
Cross-Linguistic Transfer of Literacy Ability
- Filipino and English bilingual-biliterates show
cross-language interactions of various reading and language based skills (Ocampo, 2005)

SLIDE 113 The Integration of Science
Astilla, Dela Paz, Par, Preclaro, Principe, Razon, Santos, Zuniga
SLIDE 114 The Integration of Science
A child’s scientific thinking is strengthened when Science is integrated to literature. Integrating Science to literacy is one example of helping apply scientific concepts/information within a particular context so that it is presented in an understandable and interesting language. (Zeece, 1998)
SLIDE 115 The Integration of Science
The integration of Science motivates children to be more curious in solving
- problems. This integration also helps
present models of scientific methods of
- bservation, hypothesis formulation,
collecting data, experimentation and
- evaluation. Lastly, it helps children to
appreciate, value, understand and respect their world.
SLIDE 116 The Integration of Science
Science process skills include:
- 1. Observing qualities
- 2. Measuring quantities

SLIDE 120
Reminders When Teaching English
SLIDE 121 Concept, Language and Literacy are Intertwined
- The more children experience the world,
the more they will have to talk about.
- The more language models children
interact with, the more opportunities they will have to develop language skills.
- The better their language activity and the
more experiences children have, the more prior knowledge they will be able to bring to text when they read.
SLIDE 122 It all begins with a sense of wonder…
- Develop varied interests and skills.
- Explore everything and anything.
- Talk about everything and anything we’ve
explored.
- Allow them to explore the language.
Encourage their attempts to express
- themselves. Provide options for them to
respond and share.
SLIDE 123 Always…
- Start from meaningful words and good quality
literature (e.g. songs, rhymes, stories etc.)
- Develop oral language ability in the language
in which literacy will be developed (in this case, English)
- Use the different senses to develop
knowledge of words and concepts/ideas
- Make learning fun and relevant!
SLIDE 124
Strategies for Teaching the English Language Domains
SLIDE 125
Oral Language, Vocabulary and Grammar
SLIDE 126
Four Most Effective Strategies in Language Teaching (Facella et. Al 2005)
(a) the use of gestures and visual cues (e.g. Total Physical Response – learning action words by watching and imitating what the teacher says and does)
SLIDE 127 Song: Our Body Parts
(To the tune of “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star”)
We use our legs when we walk. We use our mouths when we talk. We use our hands when we write. We use our teeth when we bite. With each part, we can do a lot. Let’s be proud of what we’ve got.
SLIDE 128
1) Teaching/Learning 2) Practice or rehearsal 3) Testing or evaluation
Steps to using Total Physical Response
SLIDE 129 1) While saying each line of the song, demonstrate the action and point to the body part that is moving. 2) Demonstrate a ‘think-aloud’ by pointing to the body part that is moving and saying, “These are my/This is my ______.” 3) Allow the children to label the body part (once they are ready) – “This is my _______.” 4) Ask the students to point/talk about their body parts. 5) Repeat the process, demonstrating less for the succeeding days.
Sample Application of TPR
(for the line “We use our legs when we walk”)
SLIDE 130 Pass It On
Choose a set of five or six students and have them form a circle. A leader must pass around an action clockwise (counter clockwise) by demonstrating what it can do. The action will be repeated by each seatmate until it reaches the end of the circle. Once it reaches the end, ask the question, “What body part can (action word)?” Answer by saying the phrase, “My _________”
SLIDE 131
Four Most Effective Strategies in Language Teaching (Facella et. Al 2005) (b) the repetition of opportunities for practicing skills (i.e. building memory and concept mastery);
SLIDE 132 Nose, Nose, Nose, Nose, Mouth
1. This game may be a whole class activity. Demonstrate how the game is to be played by pointing to your nose (4x) while naming it. 2. On the fifth try, name one of your other body parts and point to another (e.g. Say ‘eyes’ but point to your ‘ears’) 3. The students should point to the correct body part and say “This is my ________.” 4. The students can take turns being the leader.
SLIDE 133 Four Most Effective Strategies in Language Teaching (Facella et. Al 2005)
(c) the use of objects, props, hands-on
materials and realia to clarify meaning (e.g. using a puzzle; pictures; themselves)
SLIDE 134 Unlocking of Difficulties
New Words Manner of Unlocking
eyes “Last night, I saw the eyes of the cat. Looking at
- me. This is what I saw. (show picture)
Where are my eyes?
nose “I put the calachuchi flower under my nose.
(demo) Where is my nose? The calachuchi flower smells good.”
toes “I can reach my toes.”
(demonstration) Where are my toes?
SLIDE 135 Body Part Memory Game
- 1. Have two sets of pictures of the body parts
included in the lesson.
- 2. Post them on the board (face down).
- 3. Flip open only two of the pictures. The
- bject is to find a perfect match.
- 4. Once a pair is found, ask the student to
