1330. Learning flavors in English
Teacher A said to
teacher B, “Young children need visual aids, like posters, flash-cards,
puzzles, plasticine, puppets, colors.
They cannot think of abstract grammar
sentences and phrases.
If you use those aids, English is learned through images. I remember that once I
was teaching kids of 6. The topic was flavors. I ordered the ladies of the
dining-hall to prepare some salt, sugar, chocolate, orange, lemon.
The kids
were eager to participate.
I was beginning my career then and classes were not very good
anyway. The subject was about our daily surroundings, in English.
One kid had
to close his eyes and let me know the flavor he had tasted. It was funny to see
their faces when they tried sugar… or salt.” / Photo from: thejuicymamas com
