In addition to discussions on language structure, lesson structure, sentence patterns, and oral pattern drills, this curriculum guide presents specific lesson plans for various subject areas--social studies, mathematics, science, music, and culture--for English as a Second Language (ESL) in elementary schools. The guide begins with a section on the structure of the English language that includes instructions for teaching sentence patterns, and teaching and understanding English function and content vocabulary. In the following section on the structure of the language lesson, class organization is discussed, and the lesson procedure is outlined in detail, with illustrated examples of language practice techniques. The next section provides nine lessons for the sequential development of a series of sentence patterns. Several samples of oral pattern practice are presented in the succeeding section, including repetition, substitution, replacement and transformation drills. Social Studies ESL lessons are provided for Pre-K-2, and grades 3-6, including lessons on the Far East, Marco Polo, and Puerto Rico. The mathematics lessons discuss telling time, weighing objects, and cardinal numbers, and the science section includes lessons on animal life, weather, and glaciers. In addition to sample lesson plans, the next section on teaching ESL through songs provides techniques for selecting and teaching songs. The final section on cultural awareness presents various methods for developing cultural insights, and gives lesson plans for several holidays, including Pan American Day, Martin Luther King Day, and Columbus Day.
