Perhaps the compromise should be some "formal" review mixed with less formal sing-song and role play? One thing I know I am not is a preschool teacher . so whatever works best for the group is fine by me. I must say the idea of practicing colours via playing candyland is great - truly inspired! E loves that game and I am sure she'd get passed the one colour she knows (which is green) if she was to play that game! We also have this game, which we could bring along if it was easier for them to work in pairs rather than a huddle of 4.
Going into this Elizabeth probably had never seen a powerpoint lecture, but she enjoys reviewing them at home (when I make/find the time to do it). I do think that switching to plastic or real fruit, asking the kids to say the word for the tangible item rather than the screen picture is a good idea (I'll dig hers out and use them alongside the ppt at home) ... but my understanding also is that Jerry isn't a professional teacher, just a nice lady who has agreed to do this in her own time? So rather than demand that she change her style to accommodate us I figured we should assist the kids in conforming to a more structured Chinese teaching style. After all it is only for a few weeks and Elizabeth is clearly learning.
I would have to agree with Molly - repetition and practice is essential for a child to learn language concepts. I was once "relatively" fluent in French - I could rattle of present, past, plu-perfect, future, etc. tenses for many, many nouns - write letters in French, read stories in French, etc ... but I never got passed poor pronunciation. So when I would go to France I was embarrassed to attempt to speak French, as a result over the years I've lost the ability to comprehend the language. My problem was that my French teacher was not a native speaker - she learnt the language in England and had a heavy accent, which she passed onto her students. The fact that Jerry was available and willing to do this was the reason I was so excited to participate, regardless of how formal the teaching style. Opportunities for them to practice speaking words is key here . not learning to write the characters, which their little fingers are clearly struggling to do (especially with the thick whiteboard marker). That I think is what will come in time. Maya is clearly more capable of that and she is just one grade ahead of the other 3 in school. However, all 4 of them clearly enjoy the opportunity to get up and write some characters on the whiteboard, so keeping a few characters a week in the mix is a good idea . but possibly accompanied by a picture of the character they are attempting to draw?
So please don't misunderstand ... we are extremely grateful to Mary for opening her home to this and to Jerry for giving up her time . I just had to reign my little miss in so that she would get the benefit out of the experience that I know she can :0).
