  • Essential Strategies for Teaching Phonemic Awareness SECTION
    SECTION I Essential Strategies for Teaching Phonemic Awareness hat is phonemic awareness and how does it impact reading? Many early childhood and primary grade teachers wrestle with these questions on a daily W basis. This section presents the research on phonemic awareness and best practices for training students to identify sounds. A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF PHONEMIC AWARENESS Phonemic awareness is the ability to focus on and manipulate phonemes in the spoken word (Ehri, Nunes, Willows, & Schuster, 2001). Phonemes are the smallest units in the spoken language, with English containing approximately 41 phonemes (Ehri & Nunes, 2002). Young students often have difficulties letting go of the letters and just concentrating on the sounds in the spoken word. Yet research indicates that phonemic awareness and letter knowledge are key predictors to students’ success in learning to read (National Reading Panel, 2000). In fact, predictive studies show that when children enter kindergarten with the ability to manipulate phonemes and identify letters, they progress at a faster pace in learning to read (Ehri & Roberts, 2006). An ongoing discussion in the field of literacy is whether phonemic awareness is a conceptual understanding about language or whether it is a skill. According to Phillips and Torgesen (2006), it is both an understanding and a skill. For example, in order to identify the phonemes in [cat], students must understand that there are sounds at the beginning, middle, and end that can be manipulated. Students must also be able to complete phonemic awareness tasks such as the following: • Phoneme isolation: Isolate phonemes; for example, “Tell me the first sound in cat.” • Phoneme identity: Recognize common sounds in different words; for example, “Tell me the same sound in rug, rat, and roll.” 1 2 P ROMOTING L ITERACY D EVE L O P MENT • Phoneme categorization: Identify the word with the odd sound in a sequence; for example, “Which word does not belong in sat, sag, rug?” • Phoneme blending: Combine separate sounds to form a word; for example, [b-a-t] for bat.

  • The Beautiful Galatea [Opéra Comique, in Two Acts; Text by Zell and Genée
    The Beautiful Galatea [Opéra comique, in two acts; text by Zell and Genée. First produced in Vienna, 1865.] PERSONAGES. Galatea, the statue. Ganymede, Greek boy. Pygmalion, sculptor. Midas, art patron. [Chorus of Grecians.] The scene is laid in Greece; time, mythological. The opera of "Die Schöne Galatea" ("The Beautiful Galatea"), though of slight construction, is one of Suppé's most melodious works, while the story is a clever setting of the familiar mythological romance in a somewhat modern frame, in which respect it resembles the stories of Helen of Troy and Orpheus and Eurydice, which Offenbach so cleverly travestied. The first act opens with a graceful chorus of Grecians on their way to worship at the temple of Venus, at dawn ("Aurora is awaking in Heaven above"). Ganymede, Pygmalion's servant, declines to go with them, preferring to sleep, and bids them good-by with a lullaby ("With Violets, with Roses, let the Temple be decked"). His master, Pygmalion, who has finished a statue of Galatea, his ideal, also goes to the temple, and Ganymede decides to take a nap. His slumbers are interrupted, however, by Midas, a professional art patron, who has heard of the statue and informs Ganymede that he is ready to buy it, but first wishes to see it. The servant declares it is impossible, as his master is in love with it. Midas makes a further appeal to him in a long descriptive arietta ("My Dear Father Gordias") in which he boasts of his abilities, his patronage, and his conquests. He finally bribes Ganymede to show it to him, and as he stands gazing at it and praising its loveliness, Pygmalion, who has suddenly returned, enters and upbraids them.

  • Dramatizing Poetry in the Second Language Classroom STEPHEN
    English Teaching: Practice and Critique December, 2006, Volume 5, Number 3 http://education.waikato.ac.nz/research/files/etpc/2006v5n3art5.pdf pp. 127-136 Dramatizing poetry in the second language classroom STEPHEN ELTING American International School, Hong Kong ARTHUR FIRKINS Department of Linguistics, Macquarie University, Sydney ABSTRACT: Poetry performance is an approach to learning where students can use theatrical techniques to develop a response to the poem. This paper argues that ELL students can explore the aesthetic function of language and, more widely, develop confidence in using English as a communicative tool through the dramatization of poetry. We describe the process we have used to take a poem from the page to the stage and provide examples for ELL teachers to use this creative approach in their classrooms. KEYWORDS: Performance poetry, ELL (English Language learners), dramatizing poetry, verbal art, aesthetic function of language, drama and language learning, criticism and response. INTRODUCTION In order to reclaim the creative in the English classroom, educators should place verbal art at the heart of their English language programmes. Poetry is a rich language resource available to the English Language learner (ELL) and, as such, we argue that reading, interpreting and performing poetry should be a central pedagogical feature of the English programme. Poetry enables the exploration of sound, image and word association while extending the semantic resources available to students. However, current uses of poetry in the classroom more readily focus on eliciting oral or written responses to the poem from students. In contrast, although recognising that some rudimentary knowledge of the language and meaning of the poem is an important prerequisite for its understanding, we suggest that dramatizing the poem can also be a creative and interesting method through which ELL students can develop a response to the poem.
