Talking is the most important and difficult issue we have to face when teaching ESL. But it's not the only thing. Years ago, grammar was practically the only thing about English we learned at school. That wasn't good: in the end, we weren't able to face a conversation and we forgot very fast all we've learned...because we didn't really use it! Things have changed, indeed, and now everybody put the stress on talking. That's fine, but we can't forget the importance of English nowadays. We need to know how to read and write or our English knowledge won't be really useful for us. So, as teachers, we must pay attention to all these.
Starting as sooner as possible is important. So, let's start teaching our kiddies the alphabet. But not just the way we used to. Let's teach them not just the name of the letter: also the different ways they sound. Spelling is important nowadays, as phonetics are.
Here's a little video about the sound of the letters. It's funny and useful and I think your kids will love it. This is the first part (a to l). To be continued....Enjoy!!
