What is a teaching theme? The teaching theme or a unit approach provides the content and a framework for organizing learning activities and integrating different areas of the curriculum. Through a broad range of target language, a variety of experiences, and active involvement children are able to develop communicative skills. Teaching themes should be based on children's interests and should be appropriate to their background experiences and developmenta level.
Join this workshop and Marco will teach you how different methods and materials could be adapted for your teaching theme and how you can select the most meaningful activities for your class and write lesson plans for the "theme" or "unit". Kaj Schwermer (co-author of Phonics World) will share with you effective phonics instruction and activities that you can use in the classroom right away.

I Am Super
Have you ever been to an auction sale before? In the Philippines, subasta means auction, and it is normally, a public sale at which items are sold to the person offering to pay the highest price. This reinvention of auction for EFL classroom doesn't have any items up for sale it doesn't have any currencies or toy money involved. What is negotiated in this game is vocabulary, and the means of exchange are number cards. This is a "winner takes all" game, meaning the player to put up the winning number takes all the other cards.
Players
three or more
Matertials
picture cards and number cards (trump cards)
Vocabulary
adjectives, comparatives and superlatives
Target Language
Q: How old are you?
A: I'm (ten) years old.
I'm (younger) than you are.
I'm (older) than you are.
I'm (the youngest).
I'm (the oldest).
Q: How tall are you?
A : I'm (4 feet) tall.
I'm (shorter) than you are.
I'm (taller) than you are.
I'm (the shortest).
I'm (the tallest).
How to play
Determine the order of play. Shuffle one deck of number cards (minus the Kings, Queens, Jacks, Jokers, and Aces). Cut into two piles, and place them facedown on a playing surface. Player 1 turns over a card from the pile. The class asks the question; "How old are you?" Player 1 answers; "I'm (seven) years old." (His card is number 7). Player 2 takes his turn. He turns over a card from the pile. The class asks the question; "How old are you?" Player 2 answers; "I'm (five) years old. I'm younger than you are." (His card is number 5). Player 3 takes his turn. He turns over a card from the pile. The class asks the question again; "How old are you?" Player 3 answers; "I'm (ten) years old. I'm the oldest." Player 2 butts in; "I'm the youngest." Then Player 2 and Player 3 do RSP (rock-scissors-paper). The winner gets all the 3 cards. Play several rounds for mastery. At the end of the game who ever got the most number of cards is the WINNER!
Cat And Mouse
In the US, they call it Duck Duck Goose. In Bulgaria, they call it Pesek and in Ghana they call it Antokyire. Children across the globe call it in many different names.In the Philippines, we call it Iring-iring. Iring is a Bisaya (a Filipino vernacular) word for cat. This is my reinvention of this games and I would like to call it Cat and Mouse. The objective of the game is to identify the card (vocabulary) and be the first to occupy a vacant seat in the circle.
Players
ten or more
Materials
picture cards
Target Language
Q: What is it?
A: It's (a book).
Q: What do you have?
A: I have (a comb).
Q: Where are you going?
A: I'm going to the (super market).
How to play
Players sit in a circle facing each other. One player is the "it", and he walks around the circle with a card (vocabulary) in his hand. As the "it" walks around, he tags one of the players and both run in opposite directions. When the "it" and the player meet half-way, they do Q and A, followed by RSP (rock-scissors-paper). The winner gets the card and again both run in opposite directions trying to take a vacant seat in the circle. The rule is; if a runner has the card and was succesful in taking a seat, he places the card at the center of the circle and the game continues with a new card. But if a runner has the card and remains standing, he must continue the game with the same card, until he is successful in securing a seat.
