This document outlines the objectives and framework for researching activities to practice vocabulary with large elementary school classes without many resources. The specific objectives are to create a collection of flashcard, song, and game activities to practice vocabulary; research challenges with large classes; find ways to create a motivating learning environment; and provide ideas for teachers facing issues with large class sizes and limited resources. The document discusses motivating children through fun activities like singing, clapping, and games, and justifies the topic by the difficulties of teaching vocabulary to large classes with few materials. It poses research questions about practicing vocabulary in large classes, creating a motivating environment, and considerations for teaching large classes and vocabulary to children.
2. GENERAL OBJECTIVE
To research activities to practice vocabulary with large
classes without using many resources with children.
3. SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
To make a collection of activities using
flashcards, songs, and games to practice vocabulary.
To research about the main problems with large classes.
To find information about how to create a motivating
environment to teach children.
To motivate students to practice vocabulary
To find some strategies to practice vocabulary with
large classes.
To provide ideas to work with large classes.
To provide ideas for teachers who face the problem of
large classes and not enough resources.
4. FRAMEWORK
As for creating motivation in children, in the book
Teaching English to Children: from principle to
practice the author says that children are main
motivated by fun and games. She states, “ By „fun
and games‟ I mean all those activities that we loosely
think of as involving play and joyment.
Singing,clapping hands, chanting, rhymes, solving
puzzles, drawing, coloring, model-making games.”
5. JUSTIFICATION
There are many ways to practice vocabulary, but can we do it if we are
managing a class with 30 students or more? I have chosen this topic
because this question is somewhat difficult to answer.
The lack of resources.
Ways that a teacher may use to teach their students without using many
resources. We aspire to find out some ways to practice vocabulary since so
far it is complicated the idea of reducing the number of students per class.
student individually.
“I wish there were a website or a book designed for large classes without
using many resources!”
To make a collection of fun activities, games, and songs to use in class
without the necessity of printing a lot of sheets or designing expensive
material for each student. However, as teachers, we will always have to
design didactic material, but for the class as a whole.
