A lot of the activities described here are intended to involve pupils emotionally, to appeal to their imagination and inventiveness as way of getting through to their intellect.
The
book contains many sorts of activities
as examples of what we need
to invent, each aimed at mastering some little aspect of the
idiosyncrasy of the foreign language. The basic idea of the tasks is
first to get a particular age group of boys and girls (between 10 and
15) involved in the activities themselves and soon after in the
language as well.
Teaching
English
to Teens
and Preteens
is designed to appeal to teachers wishing
to diversify and
experiment. The author hopes that the ideas given here will not only be
of use within the Waldorf School context, but also for anyone teaching
foreign languages. Although this book is for English, it
may also inspire teachers of other languages.
Alec Templeton began his long teaching career in
1972.
He has taught English and trained teachers in Germany, Switzerland,
Russia, Finland, Italy, Esthonia, Sweden, Hungary, and Norway. He now
teaches English at Gymnasium Leonhard in Basel and Foreign Languages at
the Waldorf Teacher Training College in Dornach.
