The latest and greatest CD vol. 9 is available now. Ways to buy it:
, which works great. You can of course pop CD9 into a CD player to get
the 26 audio tracks of mini lessons, songs and karaoke versions.
But now instead of having to carry loads of flashcards, if you can take
the same CD and your laptop into class, or even better get a projector
or digital whiteboard, you just pop in the CD, hit the number 1 on the
keyboard and the flashcard pops up on screen.
Talking Words Page. Simply click the words or press the numbers 1 to 8 and hear each word pronounced. Each word is recorded with different people and different intonations to give the kids lots of English exposure.
Or if you want all the words from the song on screen at once you can use
the "Words 2" button, which is great for showing all the words
during classroom games.
Talking Picture Cards: Here you have all 8 of the vocab words on screen at once. You can still move over them to hear them pronounced, and it is a life saver for classroom games. Plus if you use a projector in class, you won't have to carry around all the heavy picture cards!
Plus the songs are now illustrated, which gets the kids more involved and
gives you a break from being the focus of the lesson!
Then the song complete with lyrics and illustrations! A fantastic way to
liven up the lesson and get the words stuck in your head. And a great way
for kids to practice even when you're not there.
If you're not musically inclined, or aren't too hot on singing, each lesson
also has an illustrated "mini lesson" which basically teaches
the kids how to sing the song if you don't want to. It's also great to
give your voice a rest!
Learn the song with the illustrated "Mini Lesson", the teacher
becomes the "director", the kids become the center stage stars!
Perfect if you're no good at singing yourself.
Plus there are computer games you can play in class and a karaoke version
of each song.
All the themes also have a funky game. You could even use the games to
"pre-teach" the new language to save more time for real practise
with each other. And to finish off you have the Karaoke Versions.
Windows XP, Vista or Mac OSX is recommended for the software. Although
it should work fine on older machines, maybe just a little slower. If your
machine can handle the
phonics quizzes on this site, then you should be OK!
You can see it really bridges the difference between a "chalk and
talk" lesson and what kids would be doing at home which is playing
computer games or watching TV, it really brings the lessons to life. You
still do the same
lesson plan but it takes a lot of the work off your shoulders so you can spend more
time listening to the kids, preparing the next things or even taking a
little rest!
