Teaching Modules to introduce German to very young learners
1
CURRENT SITUATION AND REASONS FOR
EARLY FOREIGN LANGUAGE LEARNING
TEACHING STRATEGIES
AIM OF THE COURSE
There is a worldwide tendency to start foreign language learning much earlier than 15 years ago. Research has shown that children learn a new language with enthusiasm, are able to develop elementary communicative competence and language awareness.
Early second language learning builds on children’s curiosity, eagerness for knowledge, need to communicate and the willingness and ability to imitate and articulate words and phrases. Furthermore, children benefit from an additional opportunity to progress ïn a multifunctional manner. In this way a positive attitude towards foreign language and culture is promoted. The holistic approach has a positive effect on learning in general.
Skills teachingWhen talking about language skills, the basic ones are listening, speaking, writing and reading. The last two mentioned are at this stage of language teaching not relevant. However, other, more socially based have been identified more recently such as summarising, describing, and narrating. Children are able to work on these skills with the support of visual aids.
Code - switchingChanging between languages at some point in a sentence, is acommonly used communication strategy among language learners and bilinguals. It has the advantage that it encourages fluency development and motivation and a sense of accomplishment. Sandwich techniqueIs the oral insertion of an idiomatic translation in the mother tongue between an unknown phrase in the learned language and its repetition, in order to convey meaning as rapidly and completely as possible. The mother tongue equivalent can be given almost as an aside, with a slight break in the flow of speech to mark it as an intruder.Teacher: Hört gut zu! - listen carefully! - Hört gut zu!
Total physical responseChildren respond to commands which require physical movement. This approach allows children to gain confidence in listening and show their understanding.
• To introduce children to aspects of German culture.
• To focus on developing listening and speaking skills.
• To raise language awareness.
• To show it is fun to learn a foreign language.
2
FOR THE CLASSROOM Material
• A poly pocket for each child to collect their drawings and sheets and a small set of coloured pencils.
• Rubber stamps in different colours, shapes and motifs.
• Children get a stamp for completion of the activity sheets.
Resources for Teachers
• A hand puppet (rabbit) which is called Hans Hase gets introduced in the first lesson and should play a role in each lesson. He only speaks and understands German. The teacher plays the role of a translator between the children and Hans Hase.
• A bag ‘Wühlsack’ which can be used to introduce new vocabulary in forms of objects, flashcards or pictures.
• A magic blanket ‘Zauberdecke’ under which objects can be hidden or appear and disappear.
German language cornerA designated wall in the nursery can be used as a visual book of record for the children, staff and parents. Pictures can be displayed which are linked to the German class.
Material boxA box with resources, props and teaching aids as well as supplementary resources to support the core teaching units and follow-up activities.
Board games - give the children the opportunity to apply the language linked to a specific topic and phrases like ‘Your turn’ can be practiced in German.
Books - captivate children’s imagination and provide a structured and embedded language input.
CDs - German children’s songs: Music can play a vital part in language learning as both music and language are associated with emotions. Whenever possible use gestures and movements to accompany the songs.
3
RECOMMENDATIONS The following recommendations can be adapted and put in use according to group sizes in the nursery. The circle time activities always provide the possibility of follow up language activities in smaller groups. Regular weekly slots for German in circle time are the starting point for the children’s language learning in nursery.
• Welcome song
• Chit chats with Hans Hase who is acting shy or cheeky. He could bring something special from Germany or something of interest for German in circle time.
• Teacher introduces three to four new German words by using real objects, flashcards or pictures.
• The children get the opportunity to show their understanding of the German words by doing the right action.
• The language task should enable the children to use only the new words
• Song, rhyme or riddle which is linked to the introduced words.
• It is the teacher’s or pupil’s decision when and how they want to continue working on the language topic; later in the week, in small groups, pairs or individually. A choice of activity sheets are provided for each topic.
• Children choose a picture to put up on the wall in the German language corner which is linked to the new words in German.
• Goodbye song and saying goodbye to Hans Hase and the children.
• Children get a rubber stamp for completion of an activity sheet.

WELCOME SONG
The songs are accompanied by appropriate movements, i.e. waving and pointing.There is no fixed melody for the songs - choose one which you or the children like best. After the welcome song the children are greeted individually. Vary the greetings and shake hands. It is a cultural custom to shake hands when greeting people.
Hallo ..., Guten Tag ..., (for late morning or afternoon). Guten Morgen..., (for early morning).
GOODBYE SONG
Geht die Gruppe nun zu Ende,geben wir uns jetzt die Händedu und ich, ich und du,winken uns zum Abschied zu.
Guten Morgen, guten Morgen Guten Morgen, guten Morgenwir winken uns zu. wir klatschen uns zu. Guten Morgen, guten Morgen Guten Morgen, guten Morgen erst ich und dann du. erst ich und dann du.
Guten Morgen, guten Morgen Guten Morgen, guten Morgenwir stehn auf einem Bein. wir drehen uns um. Guten Morgen, guten Morgen Guten Morgen, guten Morgenerst ich und dann du. erst ich und dann du.

Das Ampelmännchen (little traffic light man, pl. die Ampelmännchen) is the symbolic person
shown on traffic light at pedestrian crossing.
Das Ampelmännchen
The German Traffic Light Men
Prior to the German reunification and the fall of the wall in 1989/90 the two German states
had different designs for the traffic light men. The Ampelmännchen in West Germany was a
generic human figure and the Ampelmännchen in East Germany was a male figure wearing
a hat. The Ampelmännchen was a beloved symbol in Eastern Germany and has now the
privileged status of being one of the few features of communist East Germany to have survived
the end of the Iron Curtain with his popularity unscathed. After the fall of the Berlin wall the
East German Ampelmännchen acquired cult status and became a popular souvenir item.
A more childlike explanation could be:
In Scotland, at road crossings, we have red and green men to tell us when it is safe to cross the
street. In Germany they are very fond of their red and green men who wear little hats. They
often use them on T shirts, mugs and other souvenir items. http://ampelmannshop.com/

Die Nationalfahne in Deutschland und in Schottland
The German and the Scottish flag
The German flag, (die Fahne or die Nationalfahne), has three colour bands - Red, black and gold (yellow).
The flag was first adopted as the national flag about 100 years ago, but the colours of the flag have been associated with German kings and states since the Middle Ages. It has been said that the red stands for courage, the black for determination and the gold for generosity
Our Scottish flag, the Saltire, is blue with a white cross from corner to corner. It forms part of the British Union Jack flag. The Saltire dates back to the Middle Ages and is believed to be the oldest national flag in Europe.”

Belegte Brote
In Germany belegte Brote are most often served open-faced, with only one slice of bread and are covered with a good portion of butter and topped with additional ingredients, such as slices of cold meat and cheese with some garnish on top. It is the basis of many morning, in-between and evening meals in Germany.
