BIENVENIDOS, NUEVOS AMIGOS! Due to the great interest and motivation in introducing the Spanish language at the kindergarten level, we have designed a developmentally age appropriate program to meet your needs. The NUEVOS AMIGOS distance learning program incorporates games, songs, puppets and culture lessons for second language learners. About the Authors: Four elementary teachers with varied backgrounds and proficiency in Spanish have collaborated in writing the curriculum for NUEVOS AMIGOS. Let s meet them!

Teaching a World Language in Kindergarten Communication: Communication skills are the primary focus of language. Studies have shown that the window of opportunity for learning a second language must take place before the age of ten. (Jacqueline Thomas, Professor of Languages at Texas A&M, 1996) Cultures: Students learn about and experience other cultures as an integral part of studying languages other than English. Children who have studied a world language develop a sense of cultural pluralism (openness to and appreciation of other cultures). (Lipton, page 36) Because language acquisition is an important element in the learning development of the kindergarten student, culture plays a vital role. Through art, music, dance, drama, poetry and literature, second language acquisition can be easily developed. (LOTE, page 46) Comparisons: A natural result of learning another language is the comparison of the language being learned with the native language. Children who have studied a world language show greater cognitive development in such areas as mental flexibility, creativity, divergent thinking and higher order thinking skills. (Lipton, page 36) Connections: Knowledge of other languages and cultures provides the tools and context for connecting with other subject areas including the arts, health, social studies, sciences, mathematics and English. Because linguistic development takes place simultaneously in the early elementary grades, connections to the learning of basic concepts are readily acquired. (LOTE, page 52) It has also been shown that children who have studied a world language in the elementary school achieve expected gains and even higher scores on standardized tests in reading, language arts and mathematics. (Lipton, page 36) Communities: Learning languages other than English increases opportunities for participation in communities in Texas, in other states and around the world. Students use languages to enhance their personal and public lives and to meet the career demands of the 21st century. (LOTE, page 66) *(A Texas Framework for Languages Other Than English, Texas Education Agency, 1997) and (Gladys C. Lipton, Elementary Foreign Language Programs Fles* An Administrators Handbook. Illinois: NTC, 1992) 4

The Goals of NUEVOS AMIGOS By the end of the school year, the children will be able to Communication Develop listening and speaking skills to become proficient in a second language. Understand basic vocabulary and Spanish expressions that are necessary for everyday communication. Respond to simple questions and commands. Students sing songs and play games in Spanish to practice the language. Cultures Explore the cultural diversity and similarity within the Spanish-speaking countries and the United States. Students compare how Independence Day is celebrated in the United States and Mexico. Connections Use the language to provide the tools and context for connecting with other subject areas including arts, health, social studies, sciences, mathematics and English. The science connection is made when the students learn the names of the forest animals in Spanish. Comparisons Demonstrate an understanding of the influence of one language and culture on another. Students compare how they greet each other in English to the way they greet each other in Spanish. Communities Use the language both within and beyond the school setting through activities such as participating in cultural events. The distance learning teacher visits the classrooms to provide student exposure to a native language speaker. 5

The Objectives of NUEVOS AMIGOS By the end of Unit 1, the students will be able to understand: * greetings * colors * numbers * clothes * body parts * vegetables * fruits The students will be able to demonstrate the following verbs: * bailar - to dance * cantar - to sing * saludar - to greet someone * pintar - to paint * contar - to count * vestir - to dress * comer - to eat By the end of Unit 2, the students will be able to understand: * animals * days of the week * months * seasons * manners The students will be able to demonstrate the following verbs: * correr - to run * caminar - to walk * aplaudir - to clap * indicar - to point * abrazar - to hug 6

Program Design The program is divided into two units based on the stories The Princess and the Pea in Unit 1 and The Tortoise and the Hare in Unit 2. Each unit consists of a review and an assessment. There is also a theme to every lesson with a new verb being introduced while recycling the previous verb. Every lesson has two sets of vocabulary words that can be adapted to different skill levels: basic vocabulary and enrichment vocabulary. Each vocabulary list has its own activity which reinforces the lesson. The basic vocabulary is supported by Activity One, and the enrichment vocabulary is reinforced by Activity Two. What is Distance Learning? Distance - teacher and student are separated by distance. Learning - knowledge is gained through the use of technology. Technology bridges the distance - carries the message. Video Viewing Strategies In order for this program to be successful, the following procedures are suggested: * Teachers are responsible for previewing and playing the lessons. * Each lesson is to be viewed two times per week. * It is suggested that one teacher/facilitator from each school be designated as the coordinator of the program. * Set a time for Spanish only and reflect it in your daily schedule. * Encourage students to share the Spanish vocabulary with parents. * Bring in songs, books and community resources. * Repetition of vocabulary learned is to be used. * Having fun and a good attitude makes a difference in the learning performance of the students. * Administer the assessments. 7

Kindergarten Spanish Distance Learning Program Dear Parents: Hola! (Hello!) Your child will be learning this and other Spanish expressions in special video lessons based on two children s stories. Your child s school is one of the schools participating in the NUEVOS AMIGOS distance learning program. This program was designed especially for kindergarten students. Your child will delight in sharing his or her knowledge with you. Studies have shown that the earlier a second language is introduced the more successful the acquisition. Please encourage your child to teach you the new songs or games which he/she has learned. I look forward to having your child participate in NUEVOS AMIGOS this year. Sincerely, Rebecca García-Arango Spanish Distance Learning Teacher 8

Heritage Speakers Students whose native language is Spanish can definitely enhance the program by providing many assets such as: Provide assistance in the pronunciation of Spanish words and share their knowledge of other words that are used in their country of origin. Example: La pluma for a ballpoint pen in Mexico is also called el bolígrafo or el boli in Spain and in some of the Spanish-speaking countries. Also, if speakers of Spanish question the usage or pronunciation of a word or expression, tell them that they are fortunate to now know two ways of saying the same thing. Example: The color café for brown is also called marrón, and the color anaranjado for orange is also known as naranja. Heritage Speakers of languages other than Spanish can also offer enriching opportunities to talk about their native language, cultural customs and traditions. Spanish Fiesta Take this opportunity to prepare a performance for family and friends. What a better way to exhibit what the students have learned than to have them perform the songs! Students may perform on the school stage and later have refreshments in their classroom to show off their class work. Here s an example of an invitation: Bienvenidos a la fiesta de (Name of Class)! Come and join our fiesta! Watch us sing our songs in Spanish! Fecha(Date): 12

Instructions for Assessments for Unit 1 and 2 As students acquire a second language, assessment and evaluation serve as an important tool in maintaining students enthusiasm for language learning. Oral Language Assessment The goal of the Spanish program is to develop oral language communications skills in a second language. Therefore, the different manners to test the various levels of language learning can incorporate the informal and formal types of assessments. Types of Assessment: Informal and Formal Assessments Informal Assessments These exams can be spontaneous and may be administered without reflecting a score result. It may be as simple as taking note as to how two students are using the newly acquired Spanish vocabulary or looking at the drawings and writings in a student s Spanish Journal. Formal Language Assessments It is necessary to give formal assessments, but they are not to be given as to create anxiety in the students. Create an atmosphere in which the students see formal testing as something between you and them. Use this assessment as a tool for helping the learner. Formal Assessments Use the Unit I and Unit 2 Assessments to measure the basic vocabulary after viewing the lessons within each unit. Assessment Strategies: * Group Assessment Observe and monitor activity while the group is performing a song, poem or game. * Portfolio Assessment - Create portfolios of written work and projects, and you may even take pictures of the Group Assessment. Observe and monitor activity while the group is performing a song, poem or game. * Peer Assessment Many of the activities are designed for pair and group work. By playing games together and singing songs, students can practice the language with each other. Use the Rubric for Holistic Assessment and Vocabulary Chart to record students responses. 13
